SUMMARY
Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) was established prior to the station becoming operational to provide information on background radiation present in the area. The goal of SGS/HCGS REMP is to evaluate the impact of the station on the environment. Environmental samples from different media are monitored as part of the program in accordance with specifications detailed in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual Common REMP (ODCM). The program compares data from Indicator locations near the plant, to Control locations farther away from the site to assess operation impacts.
The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) provides data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected at SGS/HCGS for the reporting period of January 1st through December 31st, 2024. During that time period 1636 analyses were performed on 1280 samples and there was no instance of radioactivity from plant effluents observed in the environment that exceeded any Reporting Levels identified in Salem and Hope Creek Common ODCM Table 3.12-2
[23]. Also, in assessing all the data gathered for this report and comparing these results with preoperational data it was concluded that the operation of SGS/HCGS, had no significant radiological impact on the health and safety of the public or on the environment.
2.1 Summary of
Conclusions:
There was one instance of plant related radionuclides above baseline during the reporting period January 1 through December 31, 2024. Tritium was detected in Surface Water but was below reporting levels (see Figure 6, Surface Water Tritium Results). Naturally occurring radionuclides are present in the Earth's crust and atmosphere and exists in detectable quantities throughout the world. It is common to detect naturally occurring radionuclides in many of the samples collected for REMP.
Some examples of naturally occurring radionuclides that are frequently seen in samples are potassium-40, beryllium-7, actinium-228 (present as a decay product of radium-228), and radium-226. Additionally, some relatively long-lived anthropogenic radioisotopes, such as strontium-90 and cesium-137, are also seen in some REMP samples; these radionuclides exist in measurable quantities throughout the world as a result of fallout from historic atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. Detailed information on the exposure of the U.S. population to ionizing radiation can be found in NCRP Report No. 160 [1].

3.0 INTRODUCTION
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) provides data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment. This program also evaluates the relationship between quantities of radioactive materials released from the plant and resultant doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. In this capacity, REMP provides a check on the effluent release program and dispersion modeling to ensure that concentrations in the environment due to radioactive effluents conform to the As Low as Is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I [2], and implements the requirements of Section IV.B.2 and IV.B.3 of Appendix I. REMP is designed to conform to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guide 4.1 [3], NUREG 1301/1302 [4] [5],
and the 1979 NRC Branch Technical Position [6].
Figure 1, Potential exposure pathways to Members of the Public due to Plant Operations [7]
Quality assurance aspects of the sampling program and TLD/OSLD data collection are conducted in accordance with Regulatory Guides 4.15 [8] and 4.13 [9]. REMP also adheres to the requirements of New Jersey, SGS/HCGS Technical Specifications, and Common REMP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). These governing documents dictate the environmental sampling, sample analysis protocols, data reporting and quality assurance requirements for the environmental monitoring program.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 8 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report provides summaries of the environmental data from exposure pathways, interpretations of the data, and analyses of trends of the results. Routinely monitored pathways include ingestion, inhalation, and direct radiation. Routes of exposure are based on site specific information such as meteorology, receptor locations, and water usage around the plant.
4.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND SAMPLE LOCATIONS The Site is located in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, New Jersey.
SGS consists of two operating pressurized water nuclear power reactors. SGS Unit 1 has an approximate net electrical rating of 1,180 megawatts electric (MWe) and SGS Unit 2 has an approximate net electrical rating of 1,178 MWe. The licensed core thermal power rating for both Units is 3,459 megawatts thermal (MWth). HCGS consists of an operating boiling water nuclear power reactor, which has an approximate net electrical rating of 1,212 MWe. The licensed core thermal power rating is 3,902 MWth.
The Site is located on a man-made peninsula on the east bank of the Delaware River called Artificial Island. The peninsula was created by the deposition of hydraulic fill from dredging operations. The surrounding environment is characterized mainly by the Delaware River Estuary, extensive tidal marshlands, and low-lying meadowlands.
These land types make up a vast majority of the land area within five miles of the Site, with most of the remaining land used for agriculture.
Since 1968, a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) has been conducted at the Site. Starting in December 1972, a more extensive radiological monitoring program was initiated in preparation for the operation of SGS Unit 1. The operational REMP was initiated in December 1976 when SGS Unit 1 achieved criticality.
SGS/HCGS sampling media are selected based on site specific information such as meteorology, receptor locations, and water usage around the plant. Sampling and analysis frequencies are documented in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and site procedures. Required sampling, analysis frequencies and location of sample collected are captured in the following tables and figures:

Vegetables (FPL, FPV)
Although the Delaware River at the location of SGS/HCGS is a brackish water source and is not used for irrigation of food products and so sampling is not required by SGS/HCGS ODCM, samples of vegetables are collected as management audit samples from various locations during harvest. In addition, broad leaf vegetation is collected from various offsite locations as well as being planted & collected onsite (06S1, 16S1, 10D1). This is in lieu of having a milk farm within 5 km (3.1 miles) of the Site.
- Samples were not taken from these locations in 2024. They are Management Audit samples that are not required by the ODCM and may not be sampled every year due to crop rotation.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 25 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations 8.0 SAMPLING PROGRAM, PROGRAM MODIFICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS At most nuclear stations, data was collected prior to plant operation to determine background radioactivity levels in the environment. Annual data is routinely compared to preoperational and/or 10-year average values to determine if changes in the environs are present. Strict comparison is difficult to make due to fallout from historical nuclear weapon testing. Cesium-137 can be routinely found in environmental samples as a results of above ground nuclear weapons testing. It is important to note, levels of Cs-137 in environment are observed to fluctuate, for example as silt distributions shift due to natural erosion and transport processes, Cs-137 may or may not be observed in sediment samples. Results from samples collected and analyzed during the year, 2024, are described below.
In the following sections, results from direct radiation, air, water, and food products analyzed as part of REMP in 2024 will be discussed. Sampling program descriptions and deviations will also be discussed.
8.1 Environmental Direct Radiation Dosimetry Results Dose is measured as net exposure (field reading less transit reading) normalized to 91-day quarters. Data is treated and analyzed consistent with ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014, which compares the measured dose for each location to the baseline background dose for that location. Environmental dose rates vary by location, depending on geological and land use considerations, and remain relatively constant for any given location (unless land use changes). Some facilities observe seasonal variation in environmental doses. Baseline Background Doses have been determined for both quarterly and annual measurements at each location using historical field measurements. Minimum Differential Doses for Annual and Quarterly periods have been determined based on 3-times the 90th percentile standard deviation for monitoring locations. Doses that exceed the Minimum Differential Dose value above the Baseline Background Dose are considered to indicate Facility-Related Dose; a quality assurance review is performed to verify that any results indicating Facility-Related Dose are accurate.
ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 uses the concept of minimum differential dose (MDD), which is the minimum facility-related dose that can be detected above the baseline background. Due to natural background variations and measurement sensitivities and uncertainties, minimum differential dose is not zero. MDD is calculated based on performance of the dosimetry system in the environment and is about 5 mrem per quarter and 10 mrem per year. If a dosimeter indicates dose greater than background plus MDD, then the net dose (above background) is reported as Facility Related Dose.
Ambient radiation levels in the environment were monitored at locations on the Site and in the surrounding areas with pairs of passive dosimeters (PD) supplied and analyzed by Stamford Dosimetry/Environmental Dosimetry Co. Packets containing the PDs were placed in the owner-controlled area, around the Site at various distances, and in each land based meteorological sector, Table 6, REMP Sampling Locations - Direct Radiation.
I I
I
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 26 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations The PDs at each location are changed and analyzed quarterly. The laboratory utilizes a Panasonic based system using UD-814 dosimeters that are constructed of three rectangular, lead-shielded (protects against low-energy gamma radiation) Teflon wafers, impregnated with 25% calcium sulfate phosphor (CaSO4:Dy) to monitor gamma radiation. Additionally, each PD has one lithium borate (LiBO:Mn) element to monitor beta radiation (which is not used). Two PDs (Panasonic type UD-814) are placed at each location.
In 2019 PSEG implemented American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N13.37-2014 Environmental Dosimetry - Criteria for System Design and Implementation [10]
for comparing each PD location dose result to its historical background dose. Per the standard a well-functioning dosimetry system should be able to detect a 5 mrem difference in the quarterly data and a 10 mrem difference in the yearly data above background.
8.1.1 Quarterly Facility Dose During this calendar year 2024, a total of 236 samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements in Table 1, Radiological Environmental Sampling Program - Exposure Pathway - Direct Radiation.
All of the quarterly inner ring and outer ring indicator locations (Table 6, REMP Sampling Locations - Direct Radiation) resulted in non-detectable dose.
All of the quarterly offsite special interest locations resulted in non-detectable dose.
All of the quarterly control locations resulted in non-detectable dose.
The direct radiation sample results are in Table 12, Environmental Direct Radiation Dosimetry Sample Results.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 27 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations 8.1.2 Calculated Annual Facility Dose All annual inner ring (Table 6, REMP Sampling Locations - Direct Radiation) resulted in non-detectable dose except for location 16X3 (13.6 mrem annual dose). See section 8.1.4 TLD anomalies.
All annual offsite outer ring locations resulted in non-detectable dose.
All annual offsite special interest locations resulted in non-detectable dose.
The direct radiation sample results are in Table 12, Environmental Direct Radiation Dosimetry Sample Results.
8.1.3 ISFSI Dose Two on site ISFSI locations, in the controlled area, 01Q1 and 16Q2 showed measurable dose rates above background as seen in Table 12. The net dose radiation levels as measured by these special interest locations ranged from 12.4 to 19.0 mrem/Standard Quarter and annual doses of 73.2 and 54.7 mrem for Locations 01Q1 and 16Q2, respectively.
Dose to the nearest resident due to direct radiation from ISFSI was calculated to be 0.006 mrem/yr, which is a very small fraction (0.024%) of the 25 mrem/yr limit per 40 CFR 190 and 10 CFR 72.104. Both regulations limit the dose to a real member of the public to 25 mrem in a year to the total body. The calculation was performed using the formula provided in ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 as follows:
Where:
D1 = Dose that was measured from TLD Location 16Q2 (1Q1 was also calculated and had a slightly lower dose)
D2 = Dose that will be extrapolated to Nearest Resident R1 = Distance from the source to the location where D1 was obtained. (Distance from ISFSI to TLD at 16Q2)
R2 = Distance from ISFSI to the location that dose will be extrapolated (Nearest Resident)

The location of 16X3 is near the water in the Windport parcel 1,324 feet from the ISFSI pad. The data is anomalous because other TLDs closer to the source, i.e., ISFSI pad, do not have net positive results. An additional dosimeter will be added to this location to determine if the dose is accurate.
8.2 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results Air particulate filters and charcoal canisters were collected from locations specified in Table 2, Radiological Environmental Sampling Program - Exposure Pathway -
Airborne. During this calendar year 2024, a total of 832 samples (416 particulate filters and 416 iodine cartridges) were collected and analyzed for gross beta, gamma emitters and Iodine-131. Particulate samplers are used to analyze gross beta activity following filter change out which occurs weekly. Gamma isotopic analysis is performed on composite samples collected at each location and is analyzed quarterly. Radioiodine (I-131) analysis is performed weekly on radioiodine sample cartridges.
APT (Air Particulate) samples were collected on glass fiber filters with low-volume air samplers sampling at approximately 1.5 SCFM. Air sample volumes were measured with calibrated dry-gas meters.
AIO samples (Air Iodine) were collected from the air by adsorption on triethylene-diamine (TEDA) impregnated charcoal cartridges connected in series after the APT filters.
8.2.1 Air Particulates APT samples were collected weekly at seven indicator locations (05X1, 06S1, 15S2, 05D1, 16E1, 01F1, and 02F6), one duplicate location (05S2) and one control location (14G1). Each weekly sample collected was analyzed for gross beta by TBE. Quarterly composites of the weekly samples from each location were analyzed for specific gamma emitters. The duplicate air location sample was shipped to GEL for analysis (Table 13, Table 14, and Table 15).
8.2.2 Gamma Spectroscopy Gamma spectroscopy was performed on each of the 32 quarterly particulate composite samples. Naturally occurring Be-7 was detected, and no other gamma emitters were detected in any of the samples. RMC-TR-77-03 [11].

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 29 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations Naturally occurring Be-7, attributed to cosmic ray activity in the atmosphere, was detected in all 28 indicator location composites at concentrations ranging from 31E-03 pCi/m3 to 71E-03 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 47E-03 pCi/m3, and in the four control location composites ranging in concentration from 40E-03 pCi/m3 to 63E-03 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 54E-03 pCi/m3. The maximum preoperational level detected was 330E-03 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 109E-03 pCi/m3 (Table 9, Table 13 and RMC-TR-77-03 [11]).
Gross beta activity was detected in 361 of 364 of indicator location samples at concentrations ranging from 4E-03 pCi/m3 to 27E-03 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 13E-03 pCi/m3, and in 51 of 52 of the control location samples at concentrations ranging from 5E-03 pCi/m3 to 29E-03 pCi/m3 with an average of 14E-03 pCi/m3. Gross beta activity was less than ten times the yearly mean of control samples.
Therefore, per the ODCM gamma isotopic analysis was not required to be performed on the individual samples. The maximum preoperational level detected was 920E-03 pCi/m3 with an average concentration of 74E-03 pCi/m3 (Table 9, Table 14, and RMC-TR-77-03 [11]. See Figure 5).
8.2.3 Air Iodine AIO samples were collected weekly at seven indicator locations (05X1, 06S1, 15S2, 05D1, 16E1, 01F1, and 02F6), one duplicate location (05S2) and one control location (14G1). The duplicate air location sample was shipped to GEL for analysis. Each sample was analyzed by TBE for I-131, and all 416 samples were less than the MDC for both indicator and control samples during the Reporting Period. The maximum preoperational level detected was 42E-03 pCi/m3 (Table 9, Table 15 and RMC-TR 03 [11]).
Air particulate and radioiodine results from this monitoring period, 2024, were compared to preoperational data as shown in Table 9, Air Particulate and Radioiodine Comparison of Current Year and Historic Data, and there were no significant changes.

Surface water samples were collected twice a month at four indicator locations and one control location in the Delaware River Estuary. The two samples for the month were combined to create a single monthly composite sample that was then analyzed. One location (11A1) is at the outfall area (which is the area potentially impacted by effluents discharged from the Site into the Delaware River), one location is downstream from the outfall area (07E1), and one location is directly west of the outfall area at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River (12B1). Samples were collected upstream in the Delaware River (01F2) and at the mouth of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal (16F1), the latter being sampled when the flow was from the Canal into the river.
Surface water samples were collected offshore in new polyethylene containers that were rinsed twice with the sample medium prior to collection. The surface water samples were transported to TBE for analysis.
Location 12B1, located directly west of the Site, at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River, serves as the control. 12B1 was chosen as the control location because the physical characteristics of this location more closely resemble those of the outfall area than those at the farther upstream location (01F2). As discussed in the preoperational summary report, due to its tidal nature, there were flow rate and salinity variations in the Delaware River Estuary. These variations accounted for the differences in K-40 concentrations.
During this calendar year 2024, a total of 60 surface water samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements of Table 3, Radiological Environmental Sampling Program - Exposure Pathway - Waterborne.
- 1.
Tritium Tritium activity was detected in 1 (sample location 11A1) of the 48 indicator location samples at a concentration of 674 pCi/L (80135746-40). Location 11A1 is at the outfall area that is influenced by permitted plant liquid discharges (see Figure 2). A discharge was in progress at the time of sample. The resulting maximum organ and total body dose to an adult would be 1.84E-03 mrem or
<0.01 percent of the 40 CFR 190 limit. Tritium was not detected in the control location samples. The maximum preoperational level detected was 600 pCi/L, with an average concentration of 210 pCi/L (Table 16 and RMC-TR-77-03 [11]).

8.4 Ingestion Pathway Sample Results 8.4.1 Milk Milk samples (MLK) were taken semi-monthly when cows were on pasture and monthly when cows were not grazing on open pasture, from two indicator locations (13E3, and 14F4) and one control location (02G3). Animals were considered on pasture from April to November of each year. Samples were collected in new polyethylene containers, sodium bisulfite was added as a sample preservative, and then samples were frozen and transported in ice chests to TBE. Each sample was analyzed for I-131 and gamma emitters. Note: Location 03G1 was the previous control location, however, the dairy farm is no longer in business, see section 11.0.
There is no dairy farm within three miles of the Site, and there is only one dairy farm within five miles (13E3). Therefore, broadleaf vegetation is grown, maintained, and harvested monthly during the growing season.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 41 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations Historically, Cs-137 has been observed in REMP soil samples and attributed to weapons testing. The values observed in these samples are consistent with prior results and are below the NRCs predicted values of Cs-137 for the New Jersey area soils as a result of fallout from atmospheric weapons testing. Furthermore, the analyzed samples were at concentrations many orders of magnitude above the theoretical impact by plant operation given the Cs-137 concentrations in plant effluents back through 2005.
Additionally, soil is not a formal component of the REMP, nor is it required to be collected as part of the REMP in accordance with the ODCM; it is collected as a REMP Management Audit sample. As such, the ODCM specifies no reportability or LLD thresholds for soil samples. PSEG REMP Implementation procedure, Attachment 1 (Analytical Results Investigation Levels) provides an investigation threshold of 1,000 pCi/kg for Cs-137 in soil and sediment, which is based on the expected concentrations for our region from sources other than plant operation as recognized by the NRC in DOCKET NO.50-219, RFTA NO.99-040.
This evaluation validated suppositions and will appropriately characterize positive sample results obtained in future sampling evolutions as related to atmospheric testing, provided that:
Soil concentrations are less than 1,000 pCi/kg Annual gaseous Cs-137 effluents are reviewed and do not show a significant increase Cs-134 is not detected (Cs-134 is plant related and has a much shorter half-life than Cs-137)
D/Q values continue to be routinely evaluated and are updated as necessary For the above reasons, it can be concluded that the samples are primarily the result of atmospheric testing, with negligible contribution from site operations at PSEG Nuclears three reactors.
Although it has been concluded the Cs-137 in the soil is due to fallout from atmospheric weapons testing, there is no radiological impact to the environment or a member of the public with respect to the annual dose. To demonstrate this, a skin dose calculation was performed for a theoretical person who stood on the soil at location 05F1 (184 pCi/kg) for 1,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> per year (arbitrary number). This calculation concluded the dose to a member of the public beyond the site boundary would be a mere 2.16E-1 mrem/yr (1.4% of the annual skin dose limit of 15 mrem/yr), which conforms to 10 CFR 50 Appendix I. Since this activity has been determined to be non-site related, a better comparison is the calculated skin dose against background radiation levels (or approximately 0.1% of the 300 mrem/yr background dose).

Land use census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 [2].
NUREG-1301/1302 Control 3.12.2 specifies that "a land use census shall be conducted and shall identify within a distance of 8 km (5 mi.) the location in each of the 16 meteorological sectors of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden of greater than 50 m2 (500 ft2) producing broad leaf vegetation." Note, per NUREG-1301/1302, Broad leaf vegetation sampling of at least three different kinds of vegetation may be performed at the SITE BOUNDARY in each of two different direction sectors with the highest predicted D/Qs in lieu of the garden census.
The Land Use Census was conducted during the calendar year, 2024, within the growing season to identify changes in land use, receptor locations, and new exposure pathways. The results for the 2024 Land Use Census are listed in Table 10, Land Use Census - Nearest Pathway within 5 miles. In summary, the highest D/Q locations for nearest garden, nearest residence and nearest milk animal did not change following the 2024 census.

Sampling and analysis challenges may be experienced due to a multitude of reasons including environmental factors, loss of TLDs/OSLDs, contamination of samples, etc. To aid classification of sampling and analysis challenges experienced in 2024, the following three terms are used to describe the issues: Sample Anomalies, Sample Deviation, and Unavailable Samples.
Media that experienced downtime (i.e., air samplers or water samplers) during a surveillance period are classified as Sample Deviation. Sample Anomalies are defined as errors that were introduced to a sample once it arrived in the laboratory, errors that prevents the sample from being analyzed as it normally would or may have altered the outcome of the analysis (i.e., cross contamination, human error).
Sample Unavailability is defined as sample collection with no available sample (i.e.,
food crop, TLD).
All required samples were collected and analyzed as scheduled except for the following:

Adequate sample volume was achieved during the sample collection period to meet the ODCM LLD requirements for Gross Beta and I-131.
- 6.
Sample Anomaly (Order 80135746/70): Vendor informed station personnel that the gross beta results on air sample 02F6 during the 9/9/24 to 9/16/24 collection period were lower than the other results in the dataset. The reported result was 1.37E-02 pCi/m3. The normal range in this report for the 02F6 sample location is 4.00E-03 to 1.7E-02 pCi/m3. The sampler was inspected, and no anomalies were noted.
11.0 PROGRAM CHANGES The milk farm used as the control (03G1, 16.5 miles, NE) went out of business. The farm located 11.8 miles, NNE, location 02G3 was used as an alternate for the control location within 30 days in accordance with ODCM, Part 1, 3.12.1.c. The location at 03G1 was not removed in the 2021 revision of the ODCM, because it was not determined if the location change was permanent. The next revision of the ODCM will replace location 03G1 with 02G3 (80130863 Operation 20).

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 45 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations 12.0 OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 12.1 NEI 07-07 Onsite Radiological Groundwater Monitoring Program Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations has developed a Groundwater Protection Initiative (GPI) program in accordance with NEI 07-07, Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative - Final Guidance Document. The purpose of the GPI is to ensure timely detection and an effective response to situations involving inadvertent radiological releases to groundwater in order to prevent migration of licensed radioactive material off-site and to quantify impacts on decommissioning. It is important to note, samples and results taken in support of NEI 07-07 on-site groundwater monitoring program are separate from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Results of the NEI 07-07 Radiological Groundwater Monitoring Program for onsite groundwater wells are provided in the ARERR.
12.2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Monitoring Program ISFSI information is reported in the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations ARERR.
12.3 Hope Creek Technical Specification Limit For Primary Water Iodine Concentration The HCGS primary coolant results for Dose Equivalent Iodine-131, Total Gamma, and Total Beta were reviewed. The specific activity of the primary coolant did not exceed 0.2 micro curies per gram Dose Equivalent I-131 (DEI).
The Total Gamma and the Total Beta activity (microcuries per gram) did not exceed the 100/E-Bar limit.
Therefore, HCGS did not exceed the Technical Specifications limit specified in section 3.4.5.
12.4 Corrections to Previous Reports In 2021 the Common REMP ODCM Revision 0 was created and changed the name of location 13S1 to 14S2 to better reflect what sector the sample location was in.
However, in the AREOR for 2021, 2022, and 2023, location 14S2 was reported under the old location name (13S1). This errata corrects the location name from the old to new (Notification 20990610). See Attachment 4, Errata/Corrections to Previous Reports.

- Cross Check Program Summary of Cross Check Program Participation in cross check intercomparison studies is mandatory for laboratories performing analyses of REMP samples satisfying the requirements in the Offsite Site Dose Calculation Manual. Intercomparison studies provide a consistent and effective means to evaluate the accuracy and precision of analyses performed by a laboratory.
Study results should fall within specified control limits and results that fall outside the control limits are investigated and corrected.
Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE) and GEL Analytical Services (GEL) participated in the following proficiency testing studies provided by Environmental Resource Associates (ERA), Eckert Ziegler Analytics and DOE Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation in 2024. The Laboratorys intercomparison program results for 2024 are summarized below.
Teledyne Brown Engineering Summary of Results The Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services (TBE-ES) laboratory analyzed Performance Evaluation (PE) samples of air particulate (AP), milk, soil, vegetation, and water matrices that represent test and matrix combinations available for REMP programs.
The PE samples supplied by Eckert & Ziegler (E&Z) Analytics Inc., Environmental Resource Associates (ERA), and Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP), were evaluated against the following pre-set acceptance criteria:
A. E&Z Analytics Evaluation Criteria Analytics evaluation report provides a ratio of TBEs result and E&Z Analytics known value. Since flag values are not assigned by E&Z Analytics, TBE evaluates the reported ratios based on internal QC requirements based on the DOE MAPEP criteria.
- 1. A = Acceptable - reported result falls within ratio limits of 0.80-1.20
- 2. W = Acceptable with warning - reported result falls within 0.70-0.80 or 1.20-1.30
- 3. N = Not Acceptable - reported result falls outside the ratio limits of < 0.70 and > 1.30 B. ERA Evaluation Criteria ERAs evaluation report provides an acceptance range for control and warning limits with associated flag values. ERAs acceptance limits are established per the US EPA, National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC), state-specific Performance Testing (PT) program requirements or ERAs SOP for the Generation of Performance Acceptance Limits, as applicable. The acceptance limits are either determined by a regression equation specific to each analyte or a fixed percentage limit promulgated under the appropriate regulatory document.
- 1. A = Acceptable - Reported value falls within the Acceptance Limits
- 2. N = Not Acceptable - Reported value falls outside of the Acceptance Limits C. DOE Evaluation Criteria I
I I
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 89 of 100 Company: PSEG Nuclear LLC Plant: Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations
- Cross Check Program MAPEPs evaluation report provides an acceptance range with associated flag values.
MAPEP defines three levels of performance:
- 1. Acceptable (flag = A) - result within +/- 20% of the reference value
- 2. Acceptable with Warning (flag = W) - result falls in the +/- 20% to +/- 30% of the reference value
- 3. Not Acceptable (flag = N) - bias is greater than 30% of the reference value Note: The Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) samples are created to mimic conditions found at DOE sites which do not always resemble typical environmental samples obtained at commercial nuclear power facilities.
The Inter-Laboratory Comparison Program provides evidence of in control counting systems and methods, and that the laboratories are producing accurate and reliable data.
For the TBE laboratory, 152 out of 167 analyses performed met the specified acceptance criteria. Fifteen analyses did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program. A summary is found below:
A. NCR 24-02: ERA March MRAD-40 study with Air Particulate AM-241 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 38.8 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 55.0 pCi/filter (range 39.3-73.3). The root cause investigation determined that the sample was not logged into the system correctly and therefore not prepared with the required tracer. To correct and prevent recurrence, personnel involved are to utilize a template to ensure all analyses are logged as required and the QA Manager will perform sample log review as a back up to ensure accuracy. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
B. NCR 24-03: ERA March MRAD-40 air particulate study GR-B evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 42.1 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 22.2 pCi/filter (range 13.5-33.5). The root cause investigation determined that alpha-to-beta crosstalk was more significant than normal which caused the beta activity to report falsely high data. To correct and prevent recurrence, personnel involved are to adjust the alpha-to-beta crosstalk via correction calculation measures when high alpha activities are observed. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
C. NCR 24-05: ERA April RAD-137 water study GR-A evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 35.2 pCi/L and the known value returned at 52.6 pCi/L (range 39.6-65.6). The root cause investigation determined that the provided samples contained a solids content that was significantly higher than the typical client samples tested by the laboratory. A set aliquot volume for prior ERA samples was used and not adjusted to account for the sudden increase in solid content. To correct and prevent recurrence, new sample types were ordered from ERA that used Am-231 to better reflect client sample testing and acceptable results were achieved. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.

- Cross Check Program D. NCR 24-06: E&Z Analytics March E14092 air particulate study Co-60 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 168 pCi and the known value returned at 126 pCi.
Additionally, March E14093 soil Ce-141 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.106 pCi/g and the known value returned at 0.071 pCi/g. The root cause investigation was unable to determine any anomaly thus no proposed corrective action. No recurrence has occurred.
E. CAR 24-02 (CAR 23-31): MAPEP February 24-MaS50 soil study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 297 Bq/Kg and the known value returned at 650 Bq/Kb (range 455-845). The root cause investigation suspects that the current analytical procedure is not sufficient to add the interferences added to the sample by MAPEP.
This investigation is still ongoing (See NCR 24-16) as the suggested corrective action did not provide desired results.
F. NCR 24-08: MAPEP February 24-MaS50 soil study Ni-63 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 1070 Bq/Kg and the known value returned at 1530 Bq/Kb (range 1071-1989). The root cause investigation suspected that the sample contained added interferences that are not typically seen in client samples. All QC efforts associated with the sample were acceptable and no anomalies found, even after reanalysis. To correct and prevent recurrence, samples suspected of additional interferences will include the addition of Ni-59 tracer to determine yield results when calculating results. TBE analytical procedure TBE-2013 was updated to include this change.
G. NCR 24-09: MAPEP February 24-MaSU50 urine study Zn-65 evaluated as Not Acceptable. The root cause investigation determined that the sample was spiked lower than TBEs typical detection limit and client requirements. The report was revised by MAPEP indicating Not Evaluated, resulting in this nuclide to not be considered a failure.
H. NCR 24-10: MAPEP February 24-MaW50 water study Tc-99 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 9.95 Bq/L and the known value returned 7.47 Bq/L (range 5.23-9.71). The root cause investigation suspects Thorium interference that was not removed during the column separation process of the analytical procedure; however, it cannot be confirmed as all QC efforts associated with the sample were acceptable and with no anomalies found. To potentially correct and prevent recurrence, an additional rinse step was added to the procedure. Acceptable results returned in a later sample study, supporting effectiveness of corrective action.
I. NCR 24-11: MAPEP February 24-RdV50 vegetation study Sr-90 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.276 Bq/sample and the known value returned 0.529 Bq/sample (range 0.370-0.688). The root cause investigation determined a laboratory accident resulting in a spilled (loss) of sample. No corrective action was performed as the cause was an unintentional sample spill.

- Cross Check Program J. NCR 24-14: ERA September MRAD-41 air particulate study U-234/238 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 14.0/14.2 pCi/filter and the known value returned at 31.1/30.9 pCi/filter (range 23.1-36.9). The root cause investigation determined that the laboratory technician placed double the amount of tracer in the sample by error. To correct and prevent recurrence, samples that have been digested/leached with carrier/tracer added will have a label placed over the cap indicating it has already been added. Additionally, the beaker that aliquot is put in should have markings to indicate carrier/tracer has already been added to the sample.
K. NCR 24-15: ERA September MRAD-41 water study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 615 pCi/L and the known value returned at 1230 pCi/L (range 723-1790). The root cause is still under investigation.
L. NCR 24-16: MAPEP August 24-MaS51 soil study Fe-55 evaluated as Not Acceptable.
TBE did not report a value and the known value returned 780 Bq/Kg (range 546-1014).
The root cause is still under investigation.
M. NCR 24-17: MAPEP August 24-RdV51 vegetation study Sr-90 evaluated as Not Acceptable. TBE reported 0.95 Bq/sample and the known value returned 2.39 Bq/sample (range 1.67-3.11). The root cause is still under investigation.

Summary of Participation in the ERA PT Program The ERA program provided samples (RAD-136, RAD-137, RAD-138 and RAD-139) forforty-one (41) individual environmental analyses. Of the 41 analyses reported, 80.5% (33 of 41) fell within the PT providers acceptance criteria.
Corrective Action Request and Report (CARR)
There are two categories of corrective action at GEL. One is corrective action implemented at the analytical and data review level in accordance with the analytical SOP. The other is formal corrective action documented by the Quality Systems Team in accordance with GL-QS-E-002.
A formal corrective action is initiated when a nonconformance reoccurs or is so significant that permanent elimination or prevention of the problem is required. Formal corrective action investigations include root cause analysis.
GEL includes quality requirements in most analytical standard operating procedures to ensure that data are reported only if the quality control criteria are met or the quality control measures that did not meet the acceptance criteria are documented. A formal corrective action is implemented according to GL-QS-E-002 for Conducting Corrective/Preventive Action and Identifying Opportunities for Improvement. Recording and documentation is performed following guidelines stated in GL-QS-E-012 for Client NCR Database Operation.
Any employee at GEL can identify and report a nonconformance and request that corrective action be taken. Any GEL employee can participate on a corrective action team as requested by the QS team or Group Leaders. The steps for conducting corrective action are detailed in GL-QS-E-002. In the event that correctness or validity of the laboratorys test results in doubt, the laboratory will take corrective action. If investigations show that the results have been impacted, affected clients will be informed of the issue in writing within five (5) calendar days of the discovery.
Additional details can be found in the GEL Laboratories, 2024 Annual Quality Assurance Report

- Cross Check Program Summary of Results: Split Sample Comparison Program To meet the requirement of ODCM 3/4.12.3, INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM, several duplicate environmental samples each year are sent to a second independent laboratory to compare results. The laboratory chosen for these Quality Control Analyses is General Engineering Laboratories (GEL).
Duplicate samples were obtained for some samples of weekly air iodine and particulates, quarterly air particulate, sediment, broad leaf vegetation, milk, and surface water. These samples were analyzed by GEL as comparison and quality assurance of TBE results. The GEL duplicate analysis results are shown in Figure 8 below.
Agreement between TBE and GEL is based on criteria for accepting measurements in NRC Inspection Procedure 84525.
Air Iodine I-131 was not detected (less than MDC) by both TBE and GEL for all 52 air samples.
Air Particulates Gross beta was detected by GEL and TBE in 52 of the duplicate weekly APT samples.
GEL detects significantly higher gross beta results. The variance between the lab results is due to different calibration energy sources used by each lab.

- Cross Check Program All duplicate quarterly composite samples analyzed had positive results for Be-7.
Surface Water Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in 3 of the 4 TBE samples. K-40 was detected in all the GEL samples.
Milk Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in all duplicate samples. One of the duplicate samples was not in agreement. Because of the variability in environmental samples, i.e. time of year, food source, etc., one non-agreement does not constitute an issue with the primary laboratory.

SUMMARY
Routine quality control (QC) testing was performed for dosimeters issued by the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC).
During this annual period 100% (72/72) of the individual dosimeters, evaluated against the EDC internal performance acceptance criteria (high-energy photons only), met the criterion for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision. In addition, 100% (12/12) of the dosimeter sets evaluated against the internal tolerance limits met EDC acceptance criteria and 100% of independent testing passed the performance criteria.
One internal assessment was performed in 2024. There were no findings. Additional detail can be found in the Environmental Dosimetry Company, 2024 Annual Quality Assurance Status Report. [14]
