1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Palo, Iowa, during the period January -December, 2015. This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the plant on its surroundings.
The REMP fulfills the requirements of Sections IV.B.2 and IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 for the operation of the plant. The REMP also fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 72.44( d)(2) for operation of the ISFSI. Tabulations of individual analyses made during the year are included in Part II of this report. The Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is a boiling water reactor, located in Linn County, Iowa, on the Cedar River, and owned and operated by NextEra Energy Resources.
Initial criticality was attained on March 23, 1974. The reactor reached 100% power on August 12, 1974. Commercial operation began on February 1, 1975. 1 2.0
SUMMARY
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, as required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications for the Duane Arnold Energy Center, is herein described.
Results for the year 2015 are summarized and discussed.
Program findings show only background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Duane Arnold Energy Center. No effect on the environment is indicated in the areas surrounding the site of the Duane Arnold Energy Center. 2
3.0 RADIOLOGICAL
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is to assess the impact of the plant on its environment.
For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radioactive content. In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters
{TLDs). Sources of environmental radiation include the following:
(1) Natural background radiation arising from cosmic rays and primordial radionuclides; (2) Fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations; (3) Releases from nuclear power plants; and (4) Industrial and medical radioactive waste. In interpreting the data, effects due to the DAEC operation must be distinguished from those due to other sources. A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the DAEC which is based on the indicator-control concept. Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant, upwind, or upstream).
A station effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location.
The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources. An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in the environmental samples collected from the DAEC site. The DAEC's monitoring program includes analyses for strontium-90 and iodine-131, which are fission products, and tritium, which is produced by cosmic rays, atmospheric nuclear detonations, and also by nuclear power plants. Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified:
zirconium-95, cesium-137, and cerium-144.
These three gamma-emitting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that produced by a nuclear detonation.
Each of the three isotopes is produced in roughly equivalent amounts by a reactor: each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission products ten (10) days after reactor shutdown.
On the other hand, ten (10) days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1 :0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963). The other group quantified consists of niobium-95, ruthenium-103 and -106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141.
These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing. Nuclides of the next group, manganese-54, cobalt-58 and-60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products.
They are typical components of nuclear power plant effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.
Nuclides of the final group, beryllium-7, which is of cosmogenic origin, and potassium-40, a naturally-occurring isotope, were chosen as calibration monitors and provide a comparison between levels of naturally occurring radionuclides and radionuclides that could be attributed to the operation of the plant. Characteristic properties of isotopes quantified in gamma-spectroscopic analysis are presented in Table 5.1. other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation can be employed in interpreting the data. Current radiation levels can be compared with previous levels, including those measured before the Plant became operational.
Results of the DAEC's Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world. Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.2 Program
Description
3.2.1 Environmental
Monitoring The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the DAEC is summarized in Table 5.2 and is briefly reviewed below. Table 5.3 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.2 and specifies for each location its distance, direction, and sector relative to the reactor site. The types of samples collected at each location and the frequency of collections are presented in Table 5.4 using codes defined in Table 5.5. To monitor the air environment, a continuous air sampler is employed.
Airborne particulates and activated charcoal canisters are mounted on the intake of the air sampler to collect airborne particulates and airborne iodine respectively.
2015 began with nine sampling locations.
Eight of the nine locations are indicators and one is a control (D-13). Filters are changed and counted weekly. Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity.
If gross beta activity exceeds ten times the yearly mean of the control samples, gamma isotopic analysis is performed.
Quarterly composites of airborne particulates from each location are analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes.
Charcoal canister samples are analyzed weekly for iodine-131.
- Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at a total of 50 locations.
A TLD is placed at each location and exchanged and analyzed quarterly.
The TLD locations are distributed as follows:
- Two on-site locations
- Eighteen in a circle within a 0.5 mi. radius from the DAEC stack.
- Six in 22.5° sectors within 1 mi. from the DAEC stack.
- Ten in 22.5° sectors between 1 and 3 miles from the DAEC stack.
- Ten control locations greater than 3 miles from the DAEC stack.
- Four along sections of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) fenceline.
Surface water is collected monthly from four river locations, D-49 (Lewis Access, Control, 4 mi. upstream), D-50 (Inlet), D-51 (Discharge) and D-61 (downstream of Discharge) and also from Pleasant Creek Lake (D-99). The monthly samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting isotopes.
Additional analyses are performed on samples collected from the control and indicator loc,ations, D-49 and D-61. Analyses for low-level iodine-131 are performed on monthly collections and quarterly composites are prepared and analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90.
The aquatic environment .is also monitored by upstream and downstream (D-49 and D-61) semiannual collections of fish. River bottom sediment is collected semiannually at the plant's intake and discharge (D-50 and D-51) and the site's north drainage ditch (D-107a).
The samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Potable ground water is collected quarterly from a treated municipal water system (D-53), the inlet to the municipal water treatment system (D-54), three indicator locations (D-55, D-57, D-58) and one control location (D-72). The samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes.
Any positive identification of a reactor by-product material initiates analyses for hard to detect isotopes of Ni-63, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and gross alpha. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 all samples were analyzed to a lower MDA of 2 pCi/L for 1-131. Milk is collected monthly from one indicator and one control location during the non-grazing season, October through April, and biweekly during the grazing season, May 1 through September
- 30. The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes.
For additional monitoring of the terrestrial environment, grain, hay, grass and broadleaf vegetation samples are collected annually, as available, from nine locations:
one control (D-138) and eight indicators (D-16, D-57, D-96, D-109, D-110 and D-118). Grain, hay and broadleaf (green leafy) vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes and at least two broad leaf vegetation samples are analyzed for iodine-131.
If any of the cattle grazing on-site are slaughtered for home use, a meat sample is collected.
The sample is analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

3.2.2 Ground
Water Protection Program Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory provides laboratory services for the Duane Arnold Energy Center Ground Water Protection Program. For results from these analyses, refer to the Duane Arnold Energy Center, 2015 Annual Radioactive Material Release Report. 3.3 Program Execution The program was executed as described in the preceding section with the following exceptions:
(1) Airborne Particulates I Airborne Iodine: No air particulate I air iodine sample available at location D-5, after 04/1/2015 due to D-5 air sampler power permanently removed by local utility. D-5 sampler suspended from ODAM as active air sampler location.
No air particulate I air iodine sample at location D-13, for the week ending 05/01/15 due to power outage at the sampler. No air particulate I air iodine sample at location D-13, for the week ending 06/25/15 due to power outage at the sample. (2) Thermoluminescent Dosimetry The second quarter, 2015 TLD at location D-39 was missing in the field. The TLD was replaced.
Whereabouts of missing D-39 and cause for loss are unknown; potentially due to theft or vandalism.
(3) Vegetation Annual vegetation samples were not readily available from locations D-96 and D-109 for 2015 due to harvesting of crops prior to scheduled sample collection.
(4) Surface Water Surface water was not available at locations D-49, D-50 and D-99 for the 1/19/15 collections due to frozen water conditions.
Surface water was not available at locations D-50 and D-99 for the 2/18/15 collections due to frozen water conditions.
Surface water was not sent for the expected collection date of 10/31/15.
CE02088659 documents deviation to work order and auditing performance gaps. (5) Well Water Well water for locations D-53, D-54, D-55, D-57, D-58 and D-72(C) was analyzed late for 1-131 resulting in a failure to reach the required LLD. Due to short half-life of 1-131 and sampling/shipping constraints, samples arrived too late for effective 1-131 analysis.
5
3.4 Laboratory
Procedures The lodine-131 analyses in milk and water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure involving separation of iodine using an ion-exchange method, solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.
Levels of iodine-131 in vegetation and concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were determined by gamma spectroscopy.
Gamma-spectroscopic analyses are performed using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors.
The gamma isotopic analysis provides a spectrum with an energy range from 80 to 2048 KeV. Specific isotopes included in the gamma library are Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Zr-95, Nb-95, Ru-103, Ru-106, 1-131, Ba-La-140, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. Naturally occurring gamma-emitters, such as Be-7, K-40 and Ra daughters, are frequently detected but may not be listed. Tritium was measured by liquid scintillation spectrometry.
Analytical Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.
Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984. Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained.
Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2014). The QA Program includes participation in lnterlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck)
Programs.
Results obtained in crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A. 3.5 Program Modifications There were several changes to the REMP program in 2015. Analyses for low level 1-131 on quarterly REMP well water samples were added. Vegetation sampling was removed from locations 58 and 72. Additionally, the requirement to analyze precipitation samples for gamma emitters was removed in 2015. 6
4.0 RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION All collections and analyses were made as scheduled, except for those listed in Table 5.6. Results are summarized in Table 5.7 as recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
For each type of analysis and sample medium, the table lists the mean and range of all indicator and control locations, as well as that location with the highest mean and range. Tabulated results of measurements are not included in this section, although reference to these results will be made in discussion.
A complete tabulation of results for 2015 is contained in Part II of the Annual Report on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the Duane Arnold Energy Center. 4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents involving significant release to the environment at nuclear reactor facilities in 2015. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurred March 11, 2011. There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 2015. The last reported test was conducted on October 16, 1980 by the People's Republic of China. 4.2 Program Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected outside of the Owner Controlled Area in 2015. The trace levels of strontium-90 and cesium-137, still measurable in soil and sediments are attributed to deposition of fallout from previous decades. Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates were similar at indicator and control locations (0.027 and 0.024 pCi/m 3 , respectively) and similar to levels observed from 1995 through 2014. The results are tabulated below. Year Indicators Controls Year Indicators Controls Concentration (pCi/m 3) Concentration (pCi/m 3) 1999 0.026 0.027 2008 0.029 0.029 2000 0.026 0.027 2009 0.031 0.030 2001 0.026 0.026 2010 0.028 0.028 2002 0.027 0.027 2011 0.030 0.029 2003 0.029 0.029 2012 0.030 0.029 2004 0.028 0.028 2013 0.028 0.025 2005 0.031 0.031 2014 0.026 0.025 2006 0.029 0.027 2015 0.027 0.024 2007 0.031 0.031 Average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates.

4.2 Program
Findings.
Airborne Particulates (continued)
Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations.
Beryllium-7, produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955), was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.040 pCi/m3 for indicator locations and 0.059 pCi/m3 for the control location.
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Airborne Iodine 3 Levels of airborne iodine-131 measured below the required limit of 0.030 pCi/m with the exception of two samples collected at location D-13 for the weeks ending 4/23/15 and 06/17/15 and one sample at location D-15 for the week ending 5/21/15. The failure to reach the LLD was due to reduced sample volume as a result of power failures to the air sampling pumps. Ambient Radiation (TLDs) At ten control locations, thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings averaged 15.9 mR/quarter.
At locations within a half mile, one mile and three mile radius of the stack, the measurements averaged 18.4, 18.5 and 15.5 mR/quarter, respectively.
The two on-site locations D-15 and D-16 averaged 16.7 and 14.2 mR/quarter respectively.
These average measurements are similar to the estimated average natural background radiation for Middle America, 19.5 mR/quarter, which is based on data on Pages 71 and 108 of the report, "Natural Background Radiation in the United States" (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1975). The terrestrial absorbed dose (uncorrected for structural and body shielding) ranges from 8.8 to 18.8 mrad/quarter and averages 11.5 mrad/quarter for Middle America.
Cosmic radiation and cosmogenic radionuclides contribute 8.0 mrad/quarter for a total average of 19.5 mrad/quarter.
No plant effect is indicated.
ISFSI Facility Operations Monitoring Four TLDs, placed directionally along the ISFSI fenceline, averaged 32.8 mR/quarter.
The TLD site D-30, located between the nearest residence and the ISFSI site averaged 19.3 mR/quarter.
Calculated dose rates indicate the site is in compliance with 10 CFR 72.104 and 40 CFR 190. lodine-131 concentrations in milk samples were less than the LLD level of 0.5 pCi/L. No gamma-emitting isotopes, excepting naturally occurring potassium-40, were detected in any milk samples. This is consistent with findings that most radiocontaminants in feed do not find their way into milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow. The common exceptions are radioisotopes of potassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine (National Center for Radiological Health, 1968). No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Ground Water (potable)
Tritium concentrations in ground water samples were less than the LLD of 147 pCi/L in all samples analyzed.
Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. No reactor by-product radionuclides could be identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. 8
4.2 Program
Findings (continued)
Vegetation lodine-131 concentrations in vegetation samples were less than the LLD level of 0.03 pCi/g wet weight in all samples analyzed.
With the exception of potassium-40, which was observed in all vegetation samples, all other gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Surface Water Surface water was tested for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes in fifty samples from five locations.
No measurable tritium activity was detected above an LLD of 173 pCi/L. Analyses for 1-131 were performed on samples from locations D-49 (control) and D-61 (0.5 mi. downstream, indicator).
No measurable 1-131 was detected above an LLD of 0.5 pCi/L. Quarterly composites were also prepared from the samples collected at locations D-49 and D-61 and tested for and strontium-90.
All samples tested below detection limits. No plant effect on surface water is indicated.
Fish were collected in May and September, 2015, and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
With the exception of naturally-occurring potassium-40, no gamma-emitting isotopes were identified in edible portions of fish. The potassium-40 level was similar at both the indicator and control locations (3.30 and 3.43 pCi/g wet, respectively).
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. River Sediments Seven river sediments were collected in 2015 during the months of June, August and November, and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Potassium-40 activity ranged from 3.32 to 7.80 pCi/g dry weight and averaged 6.29 pCi/ g dry weight at the indicator locations and 7.58 pCi/g dry weight at the control location.
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual.

Results are reported in Appendix A. TLD lntercomparison results, in-house spikes, blanks, duplicates and mixed C!nalyte performance evaluation program results are also reported.
Appendix A is updated four times a year; the complete Appendix is included in March, June, September and December monthly progress reports only. January, 2015 through December', 2015 ApperitlixA lnterlaboratorv Comparison Program Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of it's quality control program in December 1971. These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental type samples containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories.
The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on a laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it of any possible problems.
Participant laboratories measure the concentration of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency. Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits. Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used. Results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada. Table A-2 lists results for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), via internal laboratory testing and by irradiation and evaluation by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Radiation Calibration Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin Medical Radiation Research Center. Table A-3 lists results of the analyses on in-house "spiked" samples for the past twelve months. All samples are prepared using NIST traceable sources. Data for previous years available upon request. Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house "blank" samples for the past twelve months. Data for previous years available upon request. Table A-5 lists REMP specific analytical results from the in-house "duplicate" program for the past twelve months. Acceptance is based on the difference of the results being less than the sum of the errors. Complete analytical data for duplicate analyses is available upon request. The results in Table A-6 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program. Results in Table A-7 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the Environmental Measurement Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML). Attachment A lists the laboratory precision at the 1 sigma level for various analyses.
The acceptance criteria in Table A-3 is set at +/- 2 sigma. Out-of-limit results are explained directly below the result. A1 Attachment A ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR "SPIKED" SAMPLES LABORATORY PRECISION:

All activities, except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period. 2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows: x +/- s where: x = value of the measurement; s = 2cr counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level). In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L =the lower limit of detection based on 4.66cr uncertainty for a background sample. 3.0. Duplicate analyses If duplicate analyses are reported, the convention is as follows. : 3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x 1 +/- s 1 and x 2 +/- s 2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (x 1 + Xz) ands= (1/2) J s; + s; 3.2. Individual results: < L 1 , < L 2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L 1 and L 2 3.3. Individual results: x +/- s, < L Reported result: x +/- s if x L; < L otherwise.
4.0. Computation
of Averages and Standard Deviations
4.1 Averages
and standard deviations listed in the tables are computed from all of the individual measurements over the period averaged; for example, annual standard deviation would not be the average of quarterly standard deviations.
The average x and standard deviation "s" of a set of n numbers x 1 , x 2 ... xn are defined as follows: s-
4.2 Values
below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average. 4.3 If all values in the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.
4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.
4.5 In rounding off, the following rules are followed:
4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained is less than 5, the number is dropped, and the retained numbers are kept unchanged.
As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44. 4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45. B-1 APPENDIX C , Table C-1.

SUMMARY
OF THE LAND USE CENSUS D-1 Appendix D Summary of the 2015 Land Use Census The Duane Arnold Energy Center Land Use Census was completed during September and October 201,5. All residences, milk animals, cattle, and gardens greater than 500 square feet were identified within three miles for each of the 16 meteorological sectors. If none were identified within three mile range, additional surveys were performed out to a distance of five miles. The 16 meteorological sectors were identified using Google Earth and digital compass rose overlay for accuracy and precision.
The 2015 Land Use Census identified 183 gardens, which is 29 more gardens than in 2014 and 35 more gardens than in 2013. Gardens were identified using Google Earth, field observation, and interviewing local residents.
Ten meteorological sectors had garden changes. There are ten nearest resident changes attributed to digital compass overlay correction and field observation verification.
Unlike in 2014, the residence at 4318 Power Plant Road was occupied for 2015. In addition, 21 new residences in the SSW sector were included in the survey. There are 14 nearest livestock changes attributed to digital compass overlay correction and field observation verification.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship provided a list of permitted commercial dairy farms located within Benton and Linn Counties.
Based on distance from DAEC, some large production dairy farms were included in the survey, but none were located within three or five miles of the )DAEC facility.
DAEC continues to collect milk samples from two permitted dairy farms located beyond five miles from DAEC. The farm at 3217 Otterview Road had a livestock change from goats to dairy cows, which is a change from 2014. The Cedar River was surveyed by boat on November 16th of 2015 for water use downstream of the DAEC to Cedar Rapids. The boat survey verified no additional withdraw sources of river water when compared to historical surveys. Recreational fishing is the only identified food pathway use of Cedar River water between the DAEC and the City of Cedar Rapids, eight miles down-river.
Benton County Public Health Department and Linn County Public Health Department provided groundwater well permit data. In 2015, no new drinking wells or industrial production wells were installed within two miles of the facility.
D-2 As a result of the 2015 Land Use Census, adjustments were made to the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS-NU) projection software model for changes in receptor distances.
No significant annual dose corrections were necessary.
The 2015 annual radiation dose assessment can be found in Appendix E. In accordance with the DAEC's Environmental Sampling Procedure ESP 4.4, "Land Use Census", no changes in land use were identified that would adversely affect the safe operation of the DAEC, or that would warrant an update of the DAEC Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). Examples of land use that would warrant an UFSAR update include new hazards near the DAEC such as new gas, pipelines or new installations utilizing toxic gases. NextEra Energy Resources, Duane Arnold has committed to compliance with NEI 07-07, "Nuclear Energy lnstitute's Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative".
Per NEI 07-07, the following information is presented:
- No radioactive reactor by-product material was identified in samples collected by the DAEC's Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) or the site Ground Water Protection Program (GWPP) above the threshold concentration levels for reporting.
- -'
- Ground Water Protection Program results are detailed in the site's Annual Radioactive Material Release Report. D-3 APPENDIX E ANNUAL RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT E-1 Appendix E Annual Radiation Dose Assessment The annual offsite radiation dose to a member of the public was determined by assessment of environmental dosimetry results and by calculations based on monitored effluent releases.
Section A. Dose Contribution from Direct Radiation Direct radiation dose from the operation of the DAEC was reported by TLDs placed at locations in the surrounding environment as described in the Offsite Dose Assessment Manual (ODAM). 1. Pre-operational and 2015 TLD results were evaluated with a paired difference statistical test. The evaluation concluded that there were no significant differences in the TLD populations for the 0.5 mile and 1 mile TLD populations as per Environmental Sampling Procedure, ESP 4.5, Rev 6. 2. As stated in Part 1 of this report, no plant effect was indicated by the TLDs when dose results were compared to the estimated average natural background for the central United States. Section 8. Estimated Offsite Dose from Effluent Releases 1. The contribution of dose to a member of the public most likely to be exposed from liquid and gaseous effluent releases was calculated using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) computer program in accordance with the ODAM. The calculation methods follow those prescribed by Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I". 2. Following calculation of offsite doses, the appropriateness of REMP sampling station types and locations was reviewed.
The current sampling scheme was determined to be adequate for the identified receptors.
Results of the MIDAS dose calculations are displayed below. 1.) There were no releases of radioactive material to liquid effluents in 2015. 2.) The maximum dose to air at the site boundary from noble gases released was 0.0107 mrad from gamma radiation at 1176 meters towards the North. 3.) The maximum dose to air at the site boundary from noble gases released was 0.0134 mrad beta radiation at 1176 meters towards the North. 4.) The whole body dose equivalent to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual from noble gases was 0.0041 mrem, at 1760 meters towards the North. E-2 5.) The skin dose equivalent to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual from noble gases was 0.0097 mrem, at 1760 meters towards the North. 6.) The hypothetical maximally exposed organ due to airborne iodines and particulates with half-lives greater than eight days (excluding carbon-14) was the lungs of a child at 805 meters towards the West, with an estimated dose equivalent of 0.00385 mrem. 7.) The hypothetical maximally exposed organ due to airborne carbon-14 was the bone of a child located 1760 meters to the North of the site. The dose was 0.089 mrem. Conclusion No measurable dose due to the operation of the DAEC or the DAEC ISFSI was detected by environmental TLDs in 2015. The calculated doses are below the regulatory limits stated in Appendix I to 10CFR50, 40CFR190 and 10 CFR 72.104.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Palo, Iowa, during the period January -December, 2015. This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the plant on its surroundings.
The REMP fulfills the requirements of Sections IV.B.2 and IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 for the operation of the plant. The REMP also fulfills the requirements of 10 CFR 72.44( d)(2) for operation of the ISFSI. Tabulations of individual analyses made during the year are included in Part II of this report. The Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is a boiling water reactor, located in Linn County, Iowa, on the Cedar River, and owned and operated by NextEra Energy Resources.
Initial criticality was attained on March 23, 1974. The reactor reached 100% power on August 12, 1974. Commercial operation began on February 1, 1975. 1 2.0
SUMMARY
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, as required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications for the Duane Arnold Energy Center, is herein described.
Results for the year 2015 are summarized and discussed.
Program findings show only background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Duane Arnold Energy Center. No effect on the environment is indicated in the areas surrounding the site of the Duane Arnold Energy Center. 2
3.0 RADIOLOGICAL
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is to assess the impact of the plant on its environment.
For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radioactive content. In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters
{TLDs). Sources of environmental radiation include the following:
(1) Natural background radiation arising from cosmic rays and primordial radionuclides; (2) Fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations; (3) Releases from nuclear power plants; and (4) Industrial and medical radioactive waste. In interpreting the data, effects due to the DAEC operation must be distinguished from those due to other sources. A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the DAEC which is based on the indicator-control concept. Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant, upwind, or upstream).
A station effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location.
The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources. An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in the environmental samples collected from the DAEC site. The DAEC's monitoring program includes analyses for strontium-90 and iodine-131, which are fission products, and tritium, which is produced by cosmic rays, atmospheric nuclear detonations, and also by nuclear power plants. Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified:
zirconium-95, cesium-137, and cerium-144.
These three gamma-emitting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that produced by a nuclear detonation.
Each of the three isotopes is produced in roughly equivalent amounts by a reactor: each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission products ten (10) days after reactor shutdown.
On the other hand, ten (10) days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1 :0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963). The other group quantified consists of niobium-95, ruthenium-103 and -106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141.
These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing. Nuclides of the next group, manganese-54, cobalt-58 and-60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products.
They are typical components of nuclear power plant effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.
Nuclides of the final group, beryllium-7, which is of cosmogenic origin, and potassium-40, a naturally-occurring isotope, were chosen as calibration monitors and provide a comparison between levels of naturally occurring radionuclides and radionuclides that could be attributed to the operation of the plant. Characteristic properties of isotopes quantified in gamma-spectroscopic analysis are presented in Table 5.1. other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation can be employed in interpreting the data. Current radiation levels can be compared with previous levels, including those measured before the Plant became operational.
Results of the DAEC's Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world. Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.2 Program
Description
3.2.1 Environmental
Monitoring The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the DAEC is summarized in Table 5.2 and is briefly reviewed below. Table 5.3 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.2 and specifies for each location its distance, direction, and sector relative to the reactor site. The types of samples collected at each location and the frequency of collections are presented in Table 5.4 using codes defined in Table 5.5. To monitor the air environment, a continuous air sampler is employed.
Airborne particulates and activated charcoal canisters are mounted on the intake of the air sampler to collect airborne particulates and airborne iodine respectively.
2015 began with nine sampling locations.
Eight of the nine locations are indicators and one is a control (D-13). Filters are changed and counted weekly. Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity.
If gross beta activity exceeds ten times the yearly mean of the control samples, gamma isotopic analysis is performed.
Quarterly composites of airborne particulates from each location are analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes.
Charcoal canister samples are analyzed weekly for iodine-131.
- Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at a total of 50 locations.
A TLD is placed at each location and exchanged and analyzed quarterly.
The TLD locations are distributed as follows:
- Two on-site locations
- Eighteen in a circle within a 0.5 mi. radius from the DAEC stack.
- Six in 22.5° sectors within 1 mi. from the DAEC stack.
- Ten in 22.5° sectors between 1 and 3 miles from the DAEC stack.
- Ten control locations greater than 3 miles from the DAEC stack.
- Four along sections of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) fenceline.
Surface water is collected monthly from four river locations, D-49 (Lewis Access, Control, 4 mi. upstream), D-50 (Inlet), D-51 (Discharge) and D-61 (downstream of Discharge) and also from Pleasant Creek Lake (D-99). The monthly samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting isotopes.
Additional analyses are performed on samples collected from the control and indicator loc,ations, D-49 and D-61. Analyses for low-level iodine-131 are performed on monthly collections and quarterly composites are prepared and analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90.
The aquatic environment .is also monitored by upstream and downstream (D-49 and D-61) semiannual collections of fish. River bottom sediment is collected semiannually at the plant's intake and discharge (D-50 and D-51) and the site's north drainage ditch (D-107a).
The samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Potable ground water is collected quarterly from a treated municipal water system (D-53), the inlet to the municipal water treatment system (D-54), three indicator locations (D-55, D-57, D-58) and one control location (D-72). The samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes.
Any positive identification of a reactor by-product material initiates analyses for hard to detect isotopes of Ni-63, Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and gross alpha. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 all samples were analyzed to a lower MDA of 2 pCi/L for 1-131. Milk is collected monthly from one indicator and one control location during the non-grazing season, October through April, and biweekly during the grazing season, May 1 through September
- 30. The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes.
For additional monitoring of the terrestrial environment, grain, hay, grass and broadleaf vegetation samples are collected annually, as available, from nine locations:
one control (D-138) and eight indicators (D-16, D-57, D-96, D-109, D-110 and D-118). Grain, hay and broadleaf (green leafy) vegetation samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes and at least two broad leaf vegetation samples are analyzed for iodine-131.
If any of the cattle grazing on-site are slaughtered for home use, a meat sample is collected.
The sample is analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

Water Protection Program Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory provides laboratory services for the Duane Arnold Energy Center Ground Water Protection Program. For results from these analyses, refer to the Duane Arnold Energy Center, 2015 Annual Radioactive Material Release Report. 3.3 Program Execution The program was executed as described in the preceding section with the following exceptions:
(1) Airborne Particulates I Airborne Iodine: No air particulate I air iodine sample available at location D-5, after 04/1/2015 due to D-5 air sampler power permanently removed by local utility. D-5 sampler suspended from ODAM as active air sampler location.
No air particulate I air iodine sample at location D-13, for the week ending 05/01/15 due to power outage at the sampler. No air particulate I air iodine sample at location D-13, for the week ending 06/25/15 due to power outage at the sample. (2) Thermoluminescent Dosimetry The second quarter, 2015 TLD at location D-39 was missing in the field. The TLD was replaced.
Whereabouts of missing D-39 and cause for loss are unknown; potentially due to theft or vandalism.
(3) Vegetation Annual vegetation samples were not readily available from locations D-96 and D-109 for 2015 due to harvesting of crops prior to scheduled sample collection.
(4) Surface Water Surface water was not available at locations D-49, D-50 and D-99 for the 1/19/15 collections due to frozen water conditions.
Surface water was not available at locations D-50 and D-99 for the 2/18/15 collections due to frozen water conditions.
Surface water was not sent for the expected collection date of 10/31/15.
CE02088659 documents deviation to work order and auditing performance gaps. (5) Well Water Well water for locations D-53, D-54, D-55, D-57, D-58 and D-72(C) was analyzed late for 1-131 resulting in a failure to reach the required LLD. Due to short half-life of 1-131 and sampling/shipping constraints, samples arrived too late for effective 1-131 analysis.

3.4 Laboratory
Procedures The lodine-131 analyses in milk and water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure involving separation of iodine using an ion-exchange method, solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.
Levels of iodine-131 in vegetation and concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were determined by gamma spectroscopy.
Gamma-spectroscopic analyses are performed using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors.
The gamma isotopic analysis provides a spectrum with an energy range from 80 to 2048 KeV. Specific isotopes included in the gamma library are Mn-54, Fe-59, Co-58, Co-60, Zn-65, Zr-95, Nb-95, Ru-103, Ru-106, 1-131, Ba-La-140, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ce-141, and Ce-144. Naturally occurring gamma-emitters, such as Be-7, K-40 and Ra daughters, are frequently detected but may not be listed. Tritium was measured by liquid scintillation spectrometry.
Analytical Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.
Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984. Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained.
Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2014). The QA Program includes participation in lnterlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck)
Programs.
Results obtained in crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A. 3.5 Program Modifications There were several changes to the REMP program in 2015. Analyses for low level 1-131 on quarterly REMP well water samples were added. Vegetation sampling was removed from locations 58 and 72. Additionally, the requirement to analyze precipitation samples for gamma emitters was removed in 2015. 6
4.0 RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION All collections and analyses were made as scheduled, except for those listed in Table 5.6. Results are summarized in Table 5.7 as recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
For each type of analysis and sample medium, the table lists the mean and range of all indicator and control locations, as well as that location with the highest mean and range. Tabulated results of measurements are not included in this section, although reference to these results will be made in discussion.
A complete tabulation of results for 2015 is contained in Part II of the Annual Report on the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the Duane Arnold Energy Center. 4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents involving significant release to the environment at nuclear reactor facilities in 2015. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurred March 11, 2011. There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 2015. The last reported test was conducted on October 16, 1980 by the People's Republic of China. 4.2 Program Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected outside of the Owner Controlled Area in 2015. The trace levels of strontium-90 and cesium-137, still measurable in soil and sediments are attributed to deposition of fallout from previous decades. Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates were similar at indicator and control locations (0.027 and 0.024 pCi/m 3 , respectively) and similar to levels observed from 1995 through 2014. The results are tabulated below.

Findings.
Airborne Particulates (continued)
Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations.
Beryllium-7, produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955), was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.040 pCi/m3 for indicator locations and 0.059 pCi/m3 for the control location.
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Airborne Iodine 3 Levels of airborne iodine-131 measured below the required limit of 0.030 pCi/m with the exception of two samples collected at location D-13 for the weeks ending 4/23/15 and 06/17/15 and one sample at location D-15 for the week ending 5/21/15. The failure to reach the LLD was due to reduced sample volume as a result of power failures to the air sampling pumps. Ambient Radiation (TLDs) At ten control locations, thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings averaged 15.9 mR/quarter.
At locations within a half mile, one mile and three mile radius of the stack, the measurements averaged 18.4, 18.5 and 15.5 mR/quarter, respectively.
The two on-site locations D-15 and D-16 averaged 16.7 and 14.2 mR/quarter respectively.
These average measurements are similar to the estimated average natural background radiation for Middle America, 19.5 mR/quarter, which is based on data on Pages 71 and 108 of the report, "Natural Background Radiation in the United States" (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1975). The terrestrial absorbed dose (uncorrected for structural and body shielding) ranges from 8.8 to 18.8 mrad/quarter and averages 11.5 mrad/quarter for Middle America.
Cosmic radiation and cosmogenic radionuclides contribute 8.0 mrad/quarter for a total average of 19.5 mrad/quarter.
No plant effect is indicated.
ISFSI Facility Operations Monitoring Four TLDs, placed directionally along the ISFSI fenceline, averaged 32.8 mR/quarter.
The TLD site D-30, located between the nearest residence and the ISFSI site averaged 19.3 mR/quarter.
Calculated dose rates indicate the site is in compliance with 10 CFR 72.104 and 40 CFR 190. lodine-131 concentrations in milk samples were less than the LLD level of 0.5 pCi/L. No gamma-emitting isotopes, excepting naturally occurring potassium-40, were detected in any milk samples. This is consistent with findings that most radiocontaminants in feed do not find their way into milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow. The common exceptions are radioisotopes of potassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine (National Center for Radiological Health, 1968). No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Ground Water (potable)
Tritium concentrations in ground water samples were less than the LLD of 147 pCi/L in all samples analyzed.
Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. No reactor by-product radionuclides could be identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. 8
4.2 Program
Findings (continued)
Vegetation lodine-131 concentrations in vegetation samples were less than the LLD level of 0.03 pCi/g wet weight in all samples analyzed.
With the exception of potassium-40, which was observed in all vegetation samples, all other gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. Surface Water Surface water was tested for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes in fifty samples from five locations.
No measurable tritium activity was detected above an LLD of 173 pCi/L. Analyses for 1-131 were performed on samples from locations D-49 (control) and D-61 (0.5 mi. downstream, indicator).
No measurable 1-131 was detected above an LLD of 0.5 pCi/L. Quarterly composites were also prepared from the samples collected at locations D-49 and D-61 and tested for and strontium-90.
All samples tested below detection limits. No plant effect on surface water is indicated.
Fish were collected in May and September, 2015, and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
With the exception of naturally-occurring potassium-40, no gamma-emitting isotopes were identified in edible portions of fish. The potassium-40 level was similar at both the indicator and control locations (3.30 and 3.43 pCi/g wet, respectively).
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual. River Sediments Seven river sediments were collected in 2015 during the months of June, August and November, and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Potassium-40 activity ranged from 3.32 to 7.80 pCi/g dry weight and averaged 6.29 pCi/ g dry weight at the indicator locations and 7.58 pCi/g dry weight at the control location.
No reactor by-product radionuclides were identified.
All samples met required lower limits of detection as specified in the DAEC Offsite Dose Assessment Manual.

Results are reported in Appendix A. TLD lntercomparison results, in-house spikes, blanks, duplicates and mixed C!nalyte performance evaluation program results are also reported.
Appendix A is updated four times a year; the complete Appendix is included in March, June, September and December monthly progress reports only. January, 2015 through December', 2015 ApperitlixA lnterlaboratorv Comparison Program Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of it's quality control program in December 1971. These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental type samples containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories.
The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on a laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it of any possible problems.
Participant laboratories measure the concentration of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency. Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits. Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used. Results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada. Table A-2 lists results for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), via internal laboratory testing and by irradiation and evaluation by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Radiation Calibration Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin Medical Radiation Research Center. Table A-3 lists results of the analyses on in-house "spiked" samples for the past twelve months. All samples are prepared using NIST traceable sources. Data for previous years available upon request. Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house "blank" samples for the past twelve months. Data for previous years available upon request. Table A-5 lists REMP specific analytical results from the in-house "duplicate" program for the past twelve months. Acceptance is based on the difference of the results being less than the sum of the errors. Complete analytical data for duplicate analyses is available upon request. The results in Table A-6 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program. Results in Table A-7 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the Environmental Measurement Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML). Attachment A lists the laboratory precision at the 1 sigma level for various analyses.
The acceptance criteria in Table A-3 is set at +/- 2 sigma. Out-of-limit results are explained directly below the result. A1 Attachment A ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA FOR "SPIKED" SAMPLES LABORATORY PRECISION:

A7-2 APPENDIX B. DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS Data Reporting Conventions 1.0. All activities, except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period. 2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows: x +/- s where: x = value of the measurement; s = 2cr counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level). In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L =the lower limit of detection based on 4.66cr uncertainty for a background sample. 3.0. Duplicate analyses If duplicate analyses are reported, the convention is as follows. : 3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x 1 +/- s 1 and x 2 +/- s 2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (x 1 + Xz) ands= (1/2) J s; + s; 3.2. Individual results: < L 1 , < L 2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L 1 and L 2 3.3. Individual results: x +/- s, < L Reported result: x +/- s if x L; < L otherwise.
4.0. Computation
of Averages and Standard Deviations
4.1 Averages
and standard deviations listed in the tables are computed from all of the individual measurements over the period averaged; for example, annual standard deviation would not be the average of quarterly standard deviations.
The average x and standard deviation "s" of a set of n numbers x 1 , x 2 ... xn are defined as follows: s-
4.2 Values
below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average. 4.3 If all values in the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.
4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.
4.5 In rounding off, the following rules are followed:
4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained is less than 5, the number is dropped, and the retained numbers are kept unchanged.
As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44. 4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45. B-1 APPENDIX C , Table C-1.

SUMMARY
OF THE LAND USE CENSUS D-1 Appendix D Summary of the 2015 Land Use Census The Duane Arnold Energy Center Land Use Census was completed during September and October 201,5. All residences, milk animals, cattle, and gardens greater than 500 square feet were identified within three miles for each of the 16 meteorological sectors. If none were identified within three mile range, additional surveys were performed out to a distance of five miles. The 16 meteorological sectors were identified using Google Earth and digital compass rose overlay for accuracy and precision.
The 2015 Land Use Census identified 183 gardens, which is 29 more gardens than in 2014 and 35 more gardens than in 2013. Gardens were identified using Google Earth, field observation, and interviewing local residents.
Ten meteorological sectors had garden changes. There are ten nearest resident changes attributed to digital compass overlay correction and field observation verification.
Unlike in 2014, the residence at 4318 Power Plant Road was occupied for 2015. In addition, 21 new residences in the SSW sector were included in the survey. There are 14 nearest livestock changes attributed to digital compass overlay correction and field observation verification.
The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship provided a list of permitted commercial dairy farms located within Benton and Linn Counties.
Based on distance from DAEC, some large production dairy farms were included in the survey, but none were located within three or five miles of the )DAEC facility.
DAEC continues to collect milk samples from two permitted dairy farms located beyond five miles from DAEC. The farm at 3217 Otterview Road had a livestock change from goats to dairy cows, which is a change from 2014. The Cedar River was surveyed by boat on November 16th of 2015 for water use downstream of the DAEC to Cedar Rapids. The boat survey verified no additional withdraw sources of river water when compared to historical surveys. Recreational fishing is the only identified food pathway use of Cedar River water between the DAEC and the City of Cedar Rapids, eight miles down-river.
Benton County Public Health Department and Linn County Public Health Department provided groundwater well permit data. In 2015, no new drinking wells or industrial production wells were installed within two miles of the facility.
D-2 As a result of the 2015 Land Use Census, adjustments were made to the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS-NU) projection software model for changes in receptor distances.
No significant annual dose corrections were necessary.
The 2015 annual radiation dose assessment can be found in Appendix E. In accordance with the DAEC's Environmental Sampling Procedure ESP 4.4, "Land Use Census", no changes in land use were identified that would adversely affect the safe operation of the DAEC, or that would warrant an update of the DAEC Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). Examples of land use that would warrant an UFSAR update include new hazards near the DAEC such as new gas, pipelines or new installations utilizing toxic gases. NextEra Energy Resources, Duane Arnold has committed to compliance with NEI 07-07, "Nuclear Energy lnstitute's Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative".
Per NEI 07-07, the following information is presented:
- No radioactive reactor by-product material was identified in samples collected by the DAEC's Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) or the site Ground Water Protection Program (GWPP) above the threshold concentration levels for reporting.
- -'
- Ground Water Protection Program results are detailed in the site's Annual Radioactive Material Release Report. D-3 APPENDIX E ANNUAL RADIATION DOSE ASSESSMENT E-1 Appendix E Annual Radiation Dose Assessment The annual offsite radiation dose to a member of the public was determined by assessment of environmental dosimetry results and by calculations based on monitored effluent releases.
Section A. Dose Contribution from Direct Radiation Direct radiation dose from the operation of the DAEC was reported by TLDs placed at locations in the surrounding environment as described in the Offsite Dose Assessment Manual (ODAM). 1. Pre-operational and 2015 TLD results were evaluated with a paired difference statistical test. The evaluation concluded that there were no significant differences in the TLD populations for the 0.5 mile and 1 mile TLD populations as per Environmental Sampling Procedure, ESP 4.5, Rev 6. 2. As stated in Part 1 of this report, no plant effect was indicated by the TLDs when dose results were compared to the estimated average natural background for the central United States. Section 8. Estimated Offsite Dose from Effluent Releases 1. The contribution of dose to a member of the public most likely to be exposed from liquid and gaseous effluent releases was calculated using the Meteorological Information and Dose Assessment System (MIDAS) computer program in accordance with the ODAM. The calculation methods follow those prescribed by Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I". 2. Following calculation of offsite doses, the appropriateness of REMP sampling station types and locations was reviewed.
The current sampling scheme was determined to be adequate for the identified receptors.
Results of the MIDAS dose calculations are displayed below. 1.) There were no releases of radioactive material to liquid effluents in 2015. 2.) The maximum dose to air at the site boundary from noble gases released was 0.0107 mrad from gamma radiation at 1176 meters towards the North. 3.) The maximum dose to air at the site boundary from noble gases released was 0.0134 mrad beta radiation at 1176 meters towards the North. 4.) The whole body dose equivalent to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual from noble gases was 0.0041 mrem, at 1760 meters towards the North. E-2 5.) The skin dose equivalent to the hypothetical maximally exposed individual from noble gases was 0.0097 mrem, at 1760 meters towards the North. 6.) The hypothetical maximally exposed organ due to airborne iodines and particulates with half-lives greater than eight days (excluding carbon-14) was the lungs of a child at 805 meters towards the West, with an estimated dose equivalent of 0.00385 mrem. 7.) The hypothetical maximally exposed organ due to airborne carbon-14 was the bone of a child located 1760 meters to the North of the site. The dose was 0.089 mrem. Conclusion No measurable dose due to the operation of the DAEC or the DAEC ISFSI was detected by environmental TLDs in 2015. The calculated doses are below the regulatory limits stated in Appendix I to 10CFR50, 40CFR190 and 10 CFR 72.104.
