This report contains radiological and volumetric information on gaseous and liquid effluents, doses to the public from these effluents, shipments of solid waste & irradiated components, onsite well water results, information on effluent instrumentation which was nonfunctional for more than 30 consecutive days and operating history.

Radioactive materials may be disposed of in solid waste shipments sent to licensed disposal sites or released in liquid or gas form in effluents to the local environment. The two basic characteristics used to describe radioactive effluents are radioactivity and radiation dose. The radioactivity of any given radionuclide increases in direct proportion to the amount of the radionuclide present. This report lists the amounts of various radionuclides present in radioactive 4

effluents. For this report, activity can be thought of as the amount of radioactive material present in radioactive effluents. Section 2.0 of this report gives the activity released from MPS in 2018.

Although radioactivity is an important, inherent characteristic that helps to describe radioactive effluents, it is not-by itself-a good indicator of the potential health effects from exposure to radiation. Health effects are dependent on many factors, such as the radionuclide, the type ofradiation emitted by the radionuclide, the energy of the radiation, the uptake of the radionuclide into the human body, and the metabolism of the radionuclide by the human body. To properly describe the potential health effects from exposure to radioactive materials, a measure that accounts for all of these differences is needed. Dose is a measure of how much radiation energy is absorbed by organs or tissues of the body. Dose is a good indicator of the potential health effects from exposure to radiation. Section 1.0 of this report gives the dose from activity released from MPS in 2018.

1.0 Off-Site Doses This report provides a summary of the 2018 off-site radiation doses from releases of radioactive materials in gaseous and liquid effluents and from direct radiation from MPSl, 2 and 3. This includes the annual maximum dose in millirem (mrem) to any real member of the public as well the maximum gamma and beta air doses. To provide perspective, these doses are compared to the regulatory limits (in Table 1-3) and to the annual average dose that a member of the public could receive from natural background and other sources (in Table 1-4). The doses from radioactive effluents were much less than the doses from other sources of natural radiation that are commonly considered safe. This indicates radioactive effluents from MPS in 2018 had no significant impact on the health and safety of the public or the environment.

1.1 Dose Calculations Dose from radioactive effluents are calculated to ensure compliance with NRC requirements in 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I (Re£ 7). The dose calculations are based on the measurements and computer models listed below:

  • measurements of the radioactive materials released to the environment,
  • models of how radionuclides are dispersed and diluted in the environment,
  • models of how radionuclides are incorporated into animals, plants, and soil, and
  • models of the biokinetic of human uptake and metabolism of radioactive materials.

The models are designed to calculate the dose to a real (or hypothetical) individual closest to MPS or to an individual who may be exposed to the highest concentrations of radioactive materials from radioactive effluents. This person is often referred to as the maximum exposed individual. The parameters and assumptions used in these dose calculations include conservative assumptions that tend to overestimate the calculated exposures. Although the location of the maximum individual may vary each quarterly period, the annual dose is the sum of these quarterly doses. This conservatively assumes that the individual is at the location of maximum dose each quarter. As a result, the actual doses received by real individuals are often much less than those calculated.

The off-site dose to humans from radioactive material in liquid and gaseous effluents have been calculated using measured radioactive effluent data and the dose computation algorithm in OpenEMS, an effluent tracking program (Re£ 9). For liquid dose OpenEMS uses equations which yield the same result as the methodology given in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Re£ 3). For airborne dose OpenEMS uses an algorithm equivalent to the NRC code, GASPAR II (Re£ 1), which uses a semi-infinite cloud model to implement the NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Ref. 3) dose models. The values of average relative effluent concentration (X/Q) and average relative deposition (D/Q) used in OpenEMS were generated using EDAN, a meteorological computer code. The annual summary of hourly meteorological data (in 15-minute increments), which includes wind speed, direction, atmospheric stability, and joint frequency distribution, is not provided in the report but are available. Doses are based upon exposure to radioactivity in gaseous and liquid effluents over a one-year period and an associated dose commitment over a 50-year period from initial exposure. The portion of the doses due to inhalation and ingestion take into account radioactive decay and biological elimination of the radioactive materials.

The dose calculations are based upon three types of input: radioactive source term, site-specific data, and generic factors. The radioactive source terms (Curies) are given in Section 2, Effluent Radioactivity, of this report. The site-specific data includes: meteorological data (e.g. wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric stability) to calculate the transport and dispersion of gaseous effluents, average annual milk consumption rates and dilution factors for liquid 5

effluents. The generic factors include the average annual consumption rates (for ingestion of vegetables, produce, meat, fish, and shellfish), shielding factor for air submersion and ground irradiation and occupancy factors for shoreline activity, swimming and boating.

1.1.1 Gaseous Effluents The following release points are considered ground level:

  • MPSl SFPI Vent (73 foot)
  • MPSl BOP Vent (80 foot)
  • MPS2 and 3 Refueling Water Storage Tank (RWST) Vents
  • MPS3 Engineered Safety Features Building (ESF) Ventilation
  • Auxiliary Boiler Drains Tank 2 (ABD TK-2) Vent
  • MPS2 & 3 Containment Equipment Hatch
  • MPS3 Containment Drawdowns Doses for releases from these points were calculated using the 33 foot meteorology. For each unit, doses from their respective release points were summed to determine the total unit gaseous effluent ground level dose.

The following release points are considered mixed mode (partially elevated and partially ground) releases:

  • MPS2 Auxiliary Building Ventilation (159 foot elevation)
  • MPS3 Auxiliary Building Ventilation (133 foot elevation)
  • MPS2 No. 1&2 Atmospheric Dump Valves The doses for mixed mode releases are calculated using 142 foot meteorology for which the Pasquill stability classes are determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 foot and 142 foot meteorological tower levels.

The MPS Stack release point at 374 foot elevation is considered an elevated release. Doses for elevated releases are calculated using Pasquill stability classes determined based upon the temperature gradient between the 33 foot and 374 foot meteorological tower levels. Only MPS2 and MPS3 discharge to the MPS Stack. In March 2001, MPSl was separated from the stack and two new release points were added to MPS1, the Spent Fuel Pool Island (SFPI) Vent and the Balance of Plant (BOP) Vent. The following are sources of radioactivity for releases from the stack:

  • MPS2 Waste Gas Decay Tanks batch releases
  • MPS2 Containment Vents batch releases
  • MPS2 Containment Purge batch releases
  • MPS3 Containment Vents batch releases
  • MPS3 Gaseous Waste System continuous releases
  • MPS3 Containment Purge batch releases (only during outage in fourth quarter) 1.1.2 Liquid Effluents MPS discharges radioactivity in water through two release pathways - thru the MPS Quarry to the Long Island Sound and thru Discharge Point DSN-006 to Niantic Bay. Discharges to the MPS Quarry are from primary side water, primarily from liquid waste processing systems. Discharges to DSN-006 are from secondary side water, primarily turbine building sumps. MPSl discharges only to the MPS Quarry from sumps and leakage collection systems. Discharges to both release pathways are considered either continuous or batch discharges. Sources of continuous and batch discharges are listed in Sections 2.2.1.1 and 2.2.1.2. Water containing radioactivity being discharged to the MPS Quarry is diluted mainly by circulating water and, to a minor extent, by service water.

Water containing radioactivity being discharged to DSN-006 is diluted by storm drains runoff.

1.2 Dose Results The calculated maximum off-site doses are presented in Table 1-1 for gaseous effluents and Table 1-2 for liquid effluents. The units 'mrad' and 'mrem' used in this report are units of radiation dose. The letter 'm' is for 'milli', or one-thousandth ofa 'rad' or a 'rem.' The word 'rad' is an acronym for radiation absorbed dose.

6

One rad is equal to the absorption of 100 ergs of energy per gram of tissue. The word 'rem' is an acronym for roentgen equivalent man. One rem is equal to a rad multiplied by factors to account for type of radiation and distribution within the body.

1.2.1 Gaseous Effluents For the dose to the maximum individual, OpenEMS calculates the dose to the whole body, gastrointestinal (GI),

bone, liver, kidney, thyroid, lung, and skin from each of the following pathways: direct exposure from submersion in noble gases in the plume, direct exposure from ground deposition of radioactivity, inhalation, and ingestion of vegetation, produce, cow or goat milk, and meat. A cloud shine dose component for releases of noble gas radioactivity from the elevated MPS Stack is calculated using Reference 13. This cloud shine pathway accounts for dose to the maximum individual from the plume at the site boundary while the plume is still elevated. The values presented are a total from all pathways. Only the whole body, skin, thyroid and maximum organ (other than thyroid) doses are presented.

For the plume and inhalation pathways, the maximum individual dose is calculated at the off-site location of the highest X/Q where a potential for dose exists.

For ground deposition and ingestion pathways (vegetation, meat and milk), the maximum individual dose is calculated at the location of the highest D/Q. For the milk pathways (cow and goat), the calculated dose is included in the maximum individual's dose only at locations and times where these pathways actually exist.

To determine compliance with IO CFR 50, Appendix I (Reference 7), the maximum individual whole body and organ doses include all applicable external pathways (i.e., plume and ground exposure) as well as the internal pathways (inhalation and ingestion).

1.2.2 Liquid Effluents Maximum individual doses from the release of radioactive liquid effluents were calculated using OpenEMS which gives dose results equal to dose results calculated using NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109. OpenEMS performs calculations for the following pathways: fish, shellfish, shoreline activity, swimming, and boating.

Doses are calculated for the whole body, skin, thyroid, and maximum organ (GI, bone, liver, kidney, and lung).

1.2.3 Analysis of Results Table 1-3 provides a quantitative dose comparison with the limits specified in the REMODCM. Gaseous and liquid effluent doses are compared to limits required by technical specifications and contained in Appendix I of IO CFR 50. Total offsite doses are compared to limits in 40 CFR 190 (Reference 8). The data indicates that the

  • total whole body and organ doses to the maximum offsite individual from MPS including all sources of the fuel cycle are well within the limits. On-site radioactive waste and spent fuel storage during this year was within storage criteria and the maximum dose to a member of the public from these sources was approximately 0.13 mrem. The doses from gaseous and liquid effluents were added to the estimated dose from on-site radioactive waste storage to show compliance compared to 40 CFR 190.

The Offsite Dose Comparison, Table 1-4, provides a perspective on the maximum offsite individual dose received from MPS with the natural background radiation dose received by the average Connecticut resident (Reference 4). The total dose to the maximum individual received from MPS is small(< 0.2%) in comparison to the dose received from natural background radiation.

1.3 Other Sources of Radiation Dose to the Public (from Ref. 12)

This section discusses the doses that the average American typically receives each year from naturally occurring background radiation and all other sources of radiation. The reader can compare the doses received from MPS effluents with the doses received from natural, medical, and other sources ofradiation. This comparison provides some context to the concept ofradiation dose effects. In March 2009, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) published Report No. 160 as an update to the 1987 NCRP Report No . 93, Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States. Report No . 160 describes the doses to the U.S . population from all sources of ionizing radiation for 2006, the most recent data available at the time the NCRP report was written . The NCRP report also includes information on the variability of those doses from one individual to another. The NCRP estimated that the average person in the United States receives about 620 mrem ofradiation dose each year. NCRP Report No . 160 describes each of the sources of radiation that contribute to this dose, including:

  • Naturally occurring sources (natural background) such as cosmic radiation from space, terrestrial radiation from radioactive materials in the earth, and naturally occurring radioactive materials in the food people eat and in the air people breathe;
  • medical sources from diagnosis and treatment of health disorders using radioactive pharmaceuticals and radiation-producing equipment;
  • consumer products (such as household smoke detectors);
  • industrial processes, security devices, educational tools, and research activities; and
  • exposures of workers that result from their occupations.

Below is a pie chart showing the relative contributions of these sources of radiation to the dose received by the average American. Larger contributors to dose are represented by proportionally larger slices of the pie. Doses to the public from nuclear power plants are included in the industrial category; doses to workers from nuclear power generation are included in the category of occupational dose. Doses to the public due to effluents from nuclear power plants are less than 0.1 % (one-tenth of one percent) of what the average person receives each year from all sources of radiation. Doses to workers from occupational exposures, including those received from work at NPPs, also are less than 0.1 % of the average dose to a member of the public from all sources.

2.0 Effluent Radioactivity 2.1 Gaseous Effluents 2.1.1 Measurement of Radioactivity in Gaseous Effluents 2.1.1.1 Continuous Releases The following pathways have continuous radiation monitors which monitor gaseous radioactivity and collect radioactive particulates on filters and radioactive halogens (iodine's, etc.) on charcoal cartridges except where noted on the list.

MPS 1 SFPI Island (no charcoal cartridge)

MPSl BOP Vent (no charcoal cartridge)

MPS2 Ventilation Vent MPS2 Wide Range Gas Monitor (WRGM) to Site Stack MPS2 Equipment Hatch Opening (no gaseous monitoring)

MPS3 Ventilation Vent MPS3 SLCRS to Site Stack MPS3 ESF Building Vent MPS3 Containment Equipment Hatch Openings (no gaseous monitoring)

MPS2 Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVS)

Most releases are based on results of sample analyses. Charcoal cartridges and particulate filters are replaced weekly (except every two weeks for MPSl) and analyzed for isotopic content using a gamma spectrometer. Particulate filters are also analyzed for Strontium-89 (Sr-89) (except for MPSI), Strontium-90 (Sr-90) and gross alpha. At least monthly, gaseous grab samples are taken and analyzed for noble gasses and H-3. The gas washing bottle (bubbler) method is utilized for H-3 collection. This sample is counted on a liquid scintillation detector. Isotopic concentrations at the release point are multiplied by the total flow to obtain the total activity released for each isotope.

Some releases are based on calculation. These include tritium from spent fuel pools, Carbon 14 (C-14), Equipment Hatch, and RWST vent releases.

Spent fuel pool tritium release is calculated using concentrations of tritium in the water and evaporation determined by change in pool levels. Grab samples from the MPSl SFPI Vent and the MPS2 and MPS3 Vents are compared to the measured evaporation and both of these results are included in the amount of tritium released.

C-14 releases are calculated using the methodology in Reference 11. Based on Reference 2, it was conservatively assumed that 30% of the C-14 exists as carbon dioxide (CO2 ) which may be deposited on surfaces. Thus only 30% of C-14 released yielded dose via ingestion pathways of milk, meat, produce and vegetation. C-14 has always been released from the plant but, previous to 2010, was not reported because it was not a significant release relative to other radioactive releases. Since the overall quantity of other radioactive releases has steadily decreased due to improvements in power plant operations and improved fuel integrity, C-14 now qualifies as a principle radionuclide. For each Unit, it is assumed that half of the C-14 is released from the MPS Site Stack and half from each unit's main ventilation vent.

When water is transferred to the RWST there is a potential for a release of radioactivity through the tank vent.

In 2017 MP-CHEM-17-07, "Reporting of Radioactivity Released from RWST Vents" was written to establish a maximum dose threshold of 0.075 mrem/quarter for creating release permits. The organ dose threshold value of 0.075 mrem/quarter is 1% of the quarterly organ dose limit of 7.5 mrem for H-3 and particulate releases. Nuclides that do not have a partitioning or evaporation factor such as iodines and noble gases are assumed to have been released and are reported in the MPS2 & MPS3 ground release tables. Both the MPS2&3 RWSTs are sampled on a monthly basis during normal operations and prior to transfer when transferring water during outages.

13

Any releases from the spent fuel pool area in the reactor building at MPS I are released through the SFPI Vent.

Releases from other parts of the MPSI reactor building and other buildings are continuously discharged to the BOP Vent.

Samples of air near the containment equipment hatch openings are analyzed for particulates and iodines, during refueling outages for the period that the equipment hatch is open. An estimated flow out of the hatch and sample results are used to determine the radioactivity released. Containment equipment hatch releases occurred only during the MPS2 outages during the fourth quarter. Condition report 1107689 was written to document two weeks of equipment hatch air samples not being counted to the requirements specified in the REMODCM Table I.D.-2 "Millstone Unit 2 Radioactive Gaseous Waste Sampling and Analysis Program."

The first two weeks of equipment hatch air samples were counted and determined to be below the threshold to be counted using gamma spectroscopy. The gross instruments used to perform the screening counts on the first two weeks of air samples do not have the sensitivity to identify all the nuclides in the sample. Historical information from previous outages was used in the gaseous release permits for the first two weeks the equipment hatch was opened. Administrative communications have been established to ensure the equipment hatch air samples will be counted using gamma spectroscopy.

The MPS2 Atmospheric Dump Valves (ADVS) were opened during the refueling outage and fans were used to assist in cooling down the stream generators for personnel entry. A gooseneck air sampler (HD-29A) was set up at the suction plenum of each fan to monitor the effluent being discharge through the ADVS. The effluent being discharged was monitored for iodine, particulate, and tritium.

2.1.1.2 Batch Releases The following sources of radioactivity releases are considered batch releases:

MPS2 Waste Gas Decay Tanks (WGDT) (via MPS2 WRGM to MPS Stack)

MPS2 Containment Purge (via MPS2 Main Exhaust Vent)

MPS2 Reactor Coolant System Venting MPS2 Equipment Drain Sump Tank.

MPS2 and MPS3 Containment Vents (via EBFS to MPS Stack for MPS2 and via SLCRS to MPS Stack for MPS3)

MPS3 Volume control tank sampling and purging operations MPS3 Process gas system maintenance Waste Gases from the MPS2 Gaseous Waste Processing System are held for decay in waste gas decay tanks prior to discharge through the MPS Site Stack. Each gas decay tank is analyzed prior to discharge for noble gas and H-3. Calculated volume discharged is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (noble gas and H-3) from the analysis of grab samples to determine the total activity released.

Containment air is sampled prior to each purge for gamma and H-3 to determine the activity released from containment purging. Similar to containment venting, the measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment purge volume to obtain the total activity released. Any iodines and particulates discharged would be detected by the continuous monitoring discussed in section 2.1.1.1. There were only two containment purges conducted in 2018 one in the beginning of MPS2 refueling outage 25 and the other during the subsequent outage in November. In both cases the discharge pathway alignment to the MPS2 Main Exhaust Vent.

The RCS is vented prior to opening piping system to the atmosphere in the beginning of the refueling outage.

RCS venting operations caused an increase on MPS2 Wide Range Gaseous Monitor RM8169 and a local grab sample was taken during the release. The activity concentrations were multiplied by the flowrate of the MPS2 air entering the MPS Stack to calculate the release in this gaseous release calculation.

When the equipment drain sump tank was returned to service there was a release into the auxiliary building.

A grab sample identified noble gases and this was used to document the release out of the MPS2 Main Exhaust Vent. The release did not cause an increase on the "MPS2 Stack Gaseous Radiation monitor" RM8132B, so the activity concentrations were applied to the estimated volume release from the EDST.

14

Containment air is sampled periodically for gamma and H-3 to determine the activity released from containment venting. The measured concentrations are multiplied by the containment vent volume to obtain the total activity released. MPS2 typically performs this process of discharging air from containment to maintain pressure approximately once per week and MPS3 vents containment about 16 times per month. Any iodines and particulates discharged would be detected by the continuous monitoring discussed in Section 2.1.1.1.

Periodically the MPS3 volume control tank needs to be purged for chemistry control of the reactor coolant system. Normally reactor coolant system gases are maintained and processed by the degasifier, but extensive maintenance required the degasifier to be tagged out of service. While the degasifier was removed from service periodic sampling was required to ensure the reactor chemistry parameters were within specification.

These periodic samples would cause deflection on SLCRS gaseous low range radiation monitor HVR-19B and gaseous grab samples of the volume control tank and radiation monitor activity concentration were used to quantify VCT sampling releases. During the 2018 the MPS3 VCT did not need to be purged but was sampled 5 times to periodkally to monitor parameters while the degasifier was out of service.

The MPS3 process gas water separator skid experienced a dryer problem and was required to be drained before the unit could be placed back into service. While this draining was occurring there is potential for reactor coolant system gases to be releases to both SLCRS and MPS3 Ventilation Vent. The most recent RCS noble gas sample and responses on "Ventilation Vent Noble Gas Effluent monitor" HVR-lOB and "SLCRS gaseous low range radiation monitor HVR-19B were used to quantify these releases.

2.1.2 Estimate of Errors Estimates of errors associated with radioactivity measurements were made using the following guidelines:

Radioactivity Measurement Calibration 10% Calibration to NIST* standards Sampling/Data Collection 10%-20% Variation in sample collection Sample Line Loss 20%-40% Deposition of some nuclides Sample Counting 10%-30% Error for counting statistics Flow & Level Measurements 10%-20% Error for release volumes

2.1.4 Abnormal Gaseous Releases An abnormal gaseous release of radioactivity is defined as radioactive material released in gaseous effluents to the environment that was unplanned or uncontrolled due to an unanticipated event. These do not include normal routine effluent releases from anticipated operational and maintenance occurrences such as power level changes, reactor trip, opening primary system loops, degassing, letdown of reactor coolant or transferring spent resin and do not include non-routine events such as minor leakages from piping, valves, pump seals, tank vents, etc.

2.1.4.1 MPS1 - None 2.1.4.2 MPS2 -

Waste gas discharges are discharged through the MPS Stack to minimize the dose consequence to the public.

, A damper alignment problem resulted in the 'D' waste gas decay tank being aligned to the MPS2 Main Exhaust Vent (MPS2 Vent) resulting in a release of 5.SE-04 Ci Kr-85 and 7.51E-04Ci H-3. Since the waste gas decay tank had decayed greater than 90 days prior to release the dose consequence resulting from this release is 5.60E-04 mrem/year at the site boundary. The dose consequence for the 'D' WGDT if released through MPS stack would have been 9.04E-05 mrem/year at the site boundary. The impact to a member of the public at the site boundary from this release is 4.70E-04 mrem/year and is 0.005% of the annual gamma dose limit and 0.002% of the beta dose limit. Actions to address reoccurrence include additional administrative requirements to validate the damper alignment prior to release.

2.2 Liquid Effluents 2.2.1 Measurement of Radioactivity in Liquid Effluents 2.2.1.1 Continuous Liquid Releases Water containing radioactivity is continuously released through one of two pathways - the MPS Quarry or DSN006. DSN006 is next to the MPS3 intake structure (DSN is acronym for Discharge Serial Number.)

Grab samples are taken for continuous liquid release pathways and analyzed on the gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (for H-3) if required by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM.

Total estimated volume is multiplied by the isotopic concentrations (if any) to determine the total activity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55 and gross alpha ifrequired by the conditional action requirements of the REMODCM. Sources for continuous liquid effluent releases via the MPS Quarry include Steam Generator Blowdown for MPS2 & MPS3, Service Water Effluent for MPS2 & MPS3 and Reactor Building Cl.osed Cooling Water (RBCCW) Sump for MPS2.

Sources for continuous liquid* effluent releases via DSN006 include Turbine Building Sump discharge from MPS2 & MPS3, CPF TK2 from MPS3 and SRW Sump 3 from MPS3.

2.2.1.2 Batch Liquid Releases from Tanks and Sumps Batch liquid releases are made via both the MPS Quarry and DSN006. There are numerous sources from which batches of liquids containing radioactivity are discharged to the environs. Except for two sources from MPS3 to DSN006 they are discharged via the MPS Quarry. The sources are:

MPS1 Radwaste Processing System - Includes sources from:

1. Reactor Building Sumps
2. Underground Ventilation Duct
3. Site Stack Sump MPS2 Radwaste Processing System:

I. Clean Waste Monitor Tanks (2)

2. Aerated Waste Monitor Tanks Other Radwaste Sources:

I. CPF Waste Neutralization Sump

2. Steam Generator Bulk
3. Other Systems' Bulk Discharges MPS3 Radwaste Processing I. Waste Test Tanks (2)
2. Low Level Waste Test Tanks (2)
3.

Other Radwaste Sources:

I. CPF Waste Neutralization Sump

2. Steam Generator Bulk
3. Other systems' Bulk Discharges (via Quarry or DSN006)
4. Boron and Waste Test Tanks Berm (via DSN006)

Prior to release, a tank is re-circulated for two equivalent tank volumes, a sample is drawn and then analyzed on the HPGe gamma spectrometer and liquid scintillation detector (H-3) for individual radionuclide composition. Isotopic concentrations are multiplied by the volume released to obtain the total activity released. For bulk releases, several samples are taken during the discharge to verify the amount of radioactivity released. A proportional aliquot of each discharge is retained for composite analysis for Sr-89, Sr-90, Fe-55, and gross alpha.

2.2.2 Estimate of Errors Estimates of errors associated with radioactivity measurements were made using the following guidelines:

Radioactivity Measurement Calibration 10% Calibration to NIST* standards Sampling/Data Collection 10%-20% Variation in sample collection Sample Counting 10%-30% Error for counting statistics Flow & Level Measurements 10%-20% Error for release volumes

In 2018, the following abnormal liquid releases occurred:

2.2.4.1 MPSl - None 2.2.4.2 MPS2 - None 2.2.4.3 MPS3 - None 2.2.5 Liquid Release Tables The following tables provide the details of the liquid radioactivity released from each of the MPS units.

2.4 Groundwater Monitoring The Groundwater Protection Program (GWPP) MPS implements the actions cited in the Nuclear Energy's lnstitute's (NEI) Groundwater Protection Initiative, NEI 07-07 (Reference 10). The purpose of the GWPP is to establish a program to assure timely and effective management of situations involving potential releases of radioactive material to ground. A key element in the GWPP is on-site groundwater monitoring. The results of the GWPP are documented in Table 2.4-GW.

Another key element in the GWPP is site hydrological characterization. The general trend of groundwater flow at the station is toward the Long Island Sound. The underdrain system effectively captures groundwater in the area around MPS3 and channels this water via the storm drain system to Long Island Sound On 07/31/2018, during a planned underground pipe inspection of the Unit 3 condensate surge tank, a water leak was identified from one of the return lines to the tank. The leak was stopped and leaked standing water was captured.

Following the event, local and state government stakeholders and the NRC were notified.

The level of tritium in the groundwater wells inside the Plant Protected Area does not present an exposure pathway to onsite personnel or members of the public, as there are no drinking water wells onsite. In addition to ground water samples taken within the Protected Area, ground water samples were also taken outside the Protected Area on owner controlled property. The absence of tritium in wells outside the Protected Area indicates that tritium is confined to the specified locations identified in Table 2.4.

2. MDA is approximately 1,760 pCi/L.
3. MW-7C/7D have been subjected to tritium from atmospheric deposition as well as residual water leakage of the buried condensate piping that was replaced in 2018. Also, these wells are located near the Unit 3 RWSTwhich is downwind direction from the Unit 3 Ventilation Vent. Tritium detected is attributed from releases out of the RWST vent and Ventilation Vent. Gaseous releases from the Ventilation Vent are reported in Table 2.3-A7 and from the RWST vent in Table 2.3-A3. Any releases from RWST vent or Ventilation Vent which reach the groundwater are captured in sumps and underground vaults, and periodically monitored before release to the environment and reported in Table 2.3-L2. There has been no hydraulic communication with offsite groundwater.

I. There was no gamma radioactivity detected in these samples.

2. MDA is approximately 1,760 pCi/L.
3. DP-102 is located near the Unit 3 RWST which is downwind direction from the Unit 3 Ventilation Vent. All or some of the H-3 detected in these wells is from releases out of the RWST vent and Ventilation Vent. Gaseous releases from the Ventilation Vent are reported in Table 2.3-A7 and from the RWST vent in Table 2.3-A3. Any releases from RWST vent or Ventilation Vent which reach the groundwater are captured in sumps and underground vaults, and periodically monitored before release to the environment and reported in Table 2.3-L2.

There has been no hydraulic communication with offsite groundwater.

4. Some results from MW-GPI-09 and MW-GPI-02 were positive. The source of tritium appears to be from the tritium being released via underground discharge tunnels.

3.0 NONFUNCTIONAL Effluent Monitors During the period January 1 through December 31, 2018, the following effluent instrumentation were NONFUNCTIONAL for more than 30 consecutive days:

3.1. MPS1 - None 3.2. MPS2-The aerated waste radiation monitor RM 9116 was out of service for greater than 30 days (Condition Report 1103527). The radiation monitor was tagged out of service to support the Unit 2 Equipment Drain sump tank pump replacement. Compensatory actions for when the aerated waste radiation monitor is removed from service includes two independent samples prior to release. This release pathway was not used while the radiation monitor was tagged out of service.

3.3. MPS3 - None 4.0 Operating History The operating history of the MPS Units during this reporting period was as follows:

MPS1 was shut down November 11, 1995 with a cessation of operation declared in July 1998.

MPS2 operated with a capacity factor of 80. 7%

6.0 REMODCM Changes The description and the bases of the change(s) for REMODCM Revision 30 (effective September, 19 2018) are included here in Volume II of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report. In addition, a complete copy of the REMODCM revision is provided to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as Volume 2 of the Radioactive Effluent Release Report.

6.1 Summary of Changes No programmatic or technical changes were included in this revision.

Editorial changes include:

  • Updating the Unit 1 Liquid Waste Effluent Discharge Radiation Monitor to RE-M6-110.
  • Removing an extra 'S' from the word ISFSI on page 63.
  • Revised the foot note label in 111.C-3 to identify the instruments that have a required Alarm Setpoint.

REMODCM Summary of Changes in Revision 30 Table 11.E. 'Liquid Discharge Flow Rates and Monitor Setpoints" Table III.C. 'Radioactive Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation" Pg. 1,64, 86-87

[Both revisions 028 and 029 ofMP-22REC-BAP01 (REMODCM) identify the "Unit 1 Liquid Waste Effluent Discharge" radiation monitor with the wrong equipment identifier RE-MG-110. The correct equipment identifier was validated on P&ID 125202-26010 SH.29, locally, and PAMS, which all use the equipment identifier "RE-M6-110."
