SUMMARY
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 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 PBAPS 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 (ODCM) and ODCM Specifications (ODCMS). 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 PBAPS for the reporting period of January 1st through December 31st, 2024. During that time period 1608 analyses were performed on 1296 samples. In assessing all the data gathered for this report and comparing these results with preoperational data and/or 10-year average values, it was concluded that the operation of PBAPS did not result in detection of plant related radionuclides in the environment.
Results of OSLD measurements are listed in Attachment 4. In 2019, six years of OSLD data (2012-2018) were re-evaluated with the new methodology presented in Constellation Nuclear corporate procedure CY-AA-170-1001, to determine a background dose and baseline for each location in the REMP. Detectable Facility Dose is any normalized net dose above the sum of the normalized mean background dose and minimum differential dose (BQ/A + MDDQ/A) and is reported both quarterly and annually for each location. Quarterly and Annual Normalized Net Dose for each location is reported in Attachment 4. The net dose is calculated by subtracting a control transit dosimeter and extraneous dose rather than a control or background location dose. The net dose is normalized to a standard 91-day quarter. Detectable annual facility related dose was identified at the ISFSI dosimeter location, 1R, (described below). There is no detectable ambient gamma radiation to the members of the public due to PBAPS operations.

Conclusions:
No measurable activities above background levels were detected. All values were consistent with historical results which indicate no adverse radiological environmental impacts associated with the operation of PBAPS. 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 and other nuclear events worldwide such as Fukushima and Chernobyl. Detailed information on the exposure of the U.S. population to ionizing radiation can be found in NCRP Report No. 160 [1].
In 2024, the doses from both liquid and gaseous effluents were conservatively calculated for the Maximum Exposed Member of the Public due to PBAPS Operation. Doses calculated were well below all Offsite Dose Calculations Manual (ODCM) limits. The results of those calculations were as follows:

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 OSLD data collection are conducted in accordance with Regulatory Guides 4.15 [8] and 4.13 [9]. REMP also adheres to the requirements of PA, PBAPS Technical Specifications, and 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 9 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 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 PBAPS is located along the Susquehanna River between Holtwood and Conowingo Dams in Peach Bottom Township, York County, Pennsylvania. The initial loading of fuel into Unit 1, a 40 MWe (net) high temperature gas-cooled reactor, began on 5 February 1966, and initial criticality was achieved on 3 March 1966. Shutdown of Peach Bottom Unit 1 for decommissioning was on 31 October 1974. For the purposes of the monitoring program, the beginning of the operational period for Unit 1 was considered to be 5 February 1966. A summary of the Unit 1 preoperational monitoring program was presented in a previous report (1). PBAPS Units 2 and 3 are boiling water reactors, each with a power output of approximately 1385 MWe. The first fuel was loaded into Peach Bottom Unit 2 on 9 August 1973. Criticality was achieved on 16 September 1973 and full power was reached on 16 June 1974. The first fuel was loaded into Peach Bottom Unit 3 on 5 July 1974. Criticality was achieved on 7 August 1974 and full power was first reached on 21 December 1974.
Preoperational summary reports (2)(3) for Units 2 and 3 have been previously issued and summarize the results of all analyses performed on samples collected from 5 February 1966 through 8 August 1973.
PBAPS 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:

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 21 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 8.0 SAMPLING PROGRAM, PROGRAM MODIFICATION AND INTEPRETATION 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.
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.
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 background. Due to natural background variations and measurement sensitivities and uncertainties, minimum differential dose is not zero. MDD is calculated based on statistical performance of the dosimetry system in the environment and is site specific.
Normalized 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.
During the calendar year 2024, a total of 48 locations were monitored and data analyzed in accordance with the requirements in Table 1, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Direct Radiation. Attachment 4, Environmental Direct Radiation Dosimetry Results, provides the annual direct radiation dosimetry analysis.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 22 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 8.2 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results Air particulate filters and charcoal canisters were collected from locations specified in Table 1, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Direct Radiation. During the calendar year 2024, a total of 265 samples were collected and analyzed for gross beta, gamma emitters and iodine. Particulate samplers are used to continuously collect airborne particulates on a filter. The samples are analyzed for gross beta activity following filter changeout which occurs weekly. Gamma isotopic analysis is also performed on the samples collected at each location and is analyzed quarterly.
Radioiodine (I-131) analysis is performed weekly on radioiodine sample cartridges.
Air particulate samples were analyzed for concentrations of gross beta and gamma-emitting nuclides. Gross beta and cosmogenic naturally occurring beryllium-7 (Be-7) were detected at levels consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were detected. High-sensitivity I-131 analyses were performed on weekly air samples. All I-131 results were less than minimum detectable activity.
Gross Beta results are plotted in Figure 5, below.
Figure 5: Air Particulate: Analysis for Gross Beta, Indicator Group 1 vs. Indicator Group 2 vs. Control Location Air particulate and radioiodine results from this monitoring period, 2024, were compared to 10 year average as shown in Figure 5, and there were no significant changes.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 23 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 8.3 Waterborne Sample Results 8.3.1 Surface Water (i.e., Bay, Lake etc.)
Composite water samples are collected monthly at the upstream control location and at the downstream indicator locations. Monthly composite samples are analyzed for gamma emitters. Aliquots from the monthly composites are combined to form a quarterly composite which is then analyzed for tritium. During the calendar year 2024, a total of 24 surface water samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with the requirements in the ODCM and shown in Table 3, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Waterborne. Tritium concentrations in surface water were well below the EPA tritium drinking water limit of 20,000 pCi/L.

These samples were analyzed for gross beta, low level iodine, and gamma analysis monthly. These samples were analyzed for tritium quarterly in accordance with requirements in the ODCM and shown in Table 3, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program -
Waterborne. Total gross beta activities detected were consistent with those detected in previous years. No other fission or activation products were detected. Tritium concentrations in drinking water were less than MDA, thus far below the EPA tritium drinking water limit of 20,000 pCi/L.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 27 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 8.3.4 Sediment from Shoreline Shoreline sediment collections were made in May and November of 2024 and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Samples are collected at both indicator and control locations. A total of 6 shoreline samples were analyzed in accordance with requirements in the ODCM and shown in Table 3, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Waterborne.
Sediment samples from all locations were analyzed for gamma-emitting nuclides. All analyses met minimum detectable activities. No fission or activation products were detected.
8.4 Ingestion Pathway Sample Results 8.4.1 Milk Milk samples from milking animals were collected at 5 locations within 5 km having the highest dose potential, along with samples collected from a control location 15-30 km in the least prevalent wind direction. Samples were collected and analyzed monthly when cows were not on pasture and biweekly when cows were on pasture.
Samples were analyzed for low level iodine and gamma-emitting nuclides. Samples were also collected and analyzed quarterly from 5 additional milk locations.
Concentrations of naturally occurring potasssium-40 were consistent with those detected in previous years. No fission or activation products were found.
8.4.2 Fish and Invertebrates A total of 8 fish samples were collected in 2024. These samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides in edible portions, in accordance with requirements of the ODCM and summarized in Table 4, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Ingestion. These samples are collected from the indicator and control areas as required by the ODCM (with a bottom feeder species and a predator species collected at each location). All non-natural gamma emitters were less than the minimal detectable activity. Concentrations of naturally occurring potassium-40 (K-40) were consistent with those detected in previous years.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 28 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 8.4.3 Food Products A total of 48 vegetation samples were analyzed in 2024 for gamma emitting radionuclides in accordance with requirements of the ODCM, as summarized in Table 4, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Ingestion.
8.4.4 Leafy Vegetation In accordance with the ODCM and as described in Table 4, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program - Ingestion, 48 broad leaf vegetation samples were collected from growing locations nearest site boundary in areas of highest predicted annual average ground level D/Q. Samples are collected and analyzed for gamma isotopic activity from the indicator and control locations monthly during growing season. It is common to detect Cs-137 in broadleaf samples at both indicator and control locations. Cs-137 can be attributed to offsite sources such as weapons testing, Chernobyl, and Fukushima events. All non-natural gamma emitters were less than the minimal detectable activity.
9.0 LAND USE CENSUS An annual land use census is required by the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and is performed to ensure that changes in the use of areas at or beyond the site boundary are identified and modifications to REMP are made if required by changes in land use. The land use census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50 [1]. NUREG-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-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.
A 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 8:
Land Use Census - Nearest Receptors within 5 miles. The nearest gardens in all other sectors reported in the 2024 report are the same as the previous years report.

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 a 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).
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 30 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 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:
Table 9, Sample Deviation Summary Sample Type and Analysis Location Collection Date or Period Reason for not conducting REMP sampling as required by ODCM Plans for preventing reoccurrence Air Particulate and Iodine Cartridge 1C 1/18/24 Moisture in the rotameter on the pump; calculated volume of 71.6 m3.
Air pump was replaced and sampler was returned to operation Air Particulate and Iodine Cartridge 1Z 5/30/24 GFI outlet tripped which caused sample location to have less than required run time hours. The QA collocated air sampler location (1A) was collected and analyzed for credit instead of the 1Z sample.
The GFI outlet was reset and pump was restarted with no further issues.
11.0 OTHER SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 11.1 NEI 07-07 Onsite Radiological Groundwater Monitoring Program Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 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 that samples and results taken in support of NEI 07-07 on-site groundwater monitoring program are separate from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). See Attachment 5.
11.2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Monitoring Program In 2023, an evaluation of the background data set for all dosimeters was completed to determine if any changes were required. It was determined the background for dosimeter 1R should be updated. Due to casks being on the ISFSI pad, the dose for this location is elevated and not suitable to be used for the background. Pre-operational dose studies did not use dosimeters that are comparable to OSLDs, therefore, the background of the surrounding dosimeter locations were reviewed, and an average of those backgrounds was
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 31 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station applied to the 1R calculations. Detectable facility-related dose at 1R was identified as expected following the change. No annual facility dose was detected at any surrounding dosimeters.

, Cross Check Intercomparison 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.
Constellation Generation Solutions Laboratory participated in the following proficiency testing studies provided by Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) and Eckert Ziegler Analytics (EZA) in 2024. The Laboratorys intercomparison program results for 2024 are summarized below. is a summary of Constellation Generation Solutions (CGS) laboratorys quality assurance program. It consists of Table 19 which is a compilation of the results of the CGS laboratorys participation in an interlaboratory comparison program with Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) located in Arvada, Colorado and Eckert and Ziegler Analytics, Inc. (EZA) located in Atlanta, Georgia.
It also includes a compilation of the results of the Constellation Generation Solutions (CGS) Laboratorys participation in a split sample program with Teledyne Brown Engineering located in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The CGS laboratory's intercomparison results are in full agreement when they were evaluated using designated acceptance ranges and the Resolution Test Criteria in accordance with the Constellation Radiochemistry Quality Control procedure, except as noted in the Pass/Fail column and described below. The CGS laboratory's results are provided with their analytical uncertainties of 2 sigma. When evaluating with the Resolution Test a one sigma uncertainty is used to determine Pass or Fail and noted accordingly. Co-located air samplers provide the opportunity to perform interlaboratory comparisons of beta particulate and radioiodine filters that due to the nature of the sample precludes them from splitting for analysis. Results of 1Z analyzed by CGS and 1A analyzed by TBE for beta particulates are provided at the end of this table for review and are generally in good agreement. The radioiodine samples collected alongside the beta particulate filters were analyzed and all were below MDA so there are no results to compare for that parameter.
All CGS results reported passed their respective acceptance ranges and Resolution Test Criteria with the following two exceptions for the interlaboratory crosschecks:
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 52 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station RAD-137 I-131 water study on 04/08/2024 on Detector 6 (D6) failed high at 29.7 pCi/L for a true value of 25.1 pCi/L with an acceptance range of 21.7 - 28.5 pCi/L. This was a new detector, and the study had very low area counts. Of the three runs, the other two values would have passed.
Results on all other detectors were successful. Further review of the data indicated all the Ba-133 results in the other RAD-137 water study were in acceptable range. In that study, Ba-133 is meant to approximate I-131 results as it has an energy very close to I-131 in the spectrum. The detector is new in the lab and there is an ongoing review of its performance to identify the optimal operating range and any inherent bias.
E14044 Filter study on 12/05/24 failed low for Cs-134 on D6 reporting 91.3 +/- 3.25 pCi for a true value of 116 pCi. This study also had unusually low area counts in this range of the spectrum. The result did pass the acceptance range of 81.2 - 150.8 pCi, however due to the extremely low activity level, count times were extended significantly to capture other isotopes with lower yields resulting in very low uncertainties for higher yield isotopes. In the case of Cs-134 the uncertainty was less than 5% and at the level of recovery observed, the result failed the resolution test. Routine analysis is normally performed to achieve 15%
+/- 5 %. Review of all other studies performed on this detector showed successful performance for Cs-134 and all other isotopes. The evaluation of detector performance is ongoing to identify inherent bias or variability at low count rates as is observed in environmental samples.
The vendor laboratories used by CGS for subcontracting and interlaboratory comparison samples, GEL Laboratories and Teledyne Brown Engineering (TBE), also participate in the ERA and EZA interlaboratory comparison program. A presentation of their full data report is provided in their Annual Environmental Quality Assurance Program Reports, [52,53]. In summary GEL and TBE reported results met vendor and laboratory acceptance ranges with the following exceptions described here.
For TBE, the following three studies reported data that did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through the TBE Corrective Action Program. Investigations of the failures are described as follows:
TBE Crosschecks failed high for MRAD-40 Gross Beta at 42.1 pCi/Filter. The true value was 22.2 and the acceptable range was 13.5-33.5 pCi/Filter. All QC associated with the original sample was acceptable and no anomalies were found. This sample was used as the WG duplicate with a result of 42.5 pCi.
Both were counted on the same detector. Upon comparison to historical sample data, the alpha activity of this ERA submitted sample was the highest assigned result, and the beta activity was the lowest. Therefore, the alpha-to-beta crosstalk was more significant than normal, causing the beta activity to report falsely high data. The counting room laboratory staff will adjust the alpha-to-beta crosstalk via correction calculation measures when high alpha are observed.
Subsequent study MRAD-41 for Gross Beta filter returned acceptable results.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 53 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station RAD-137 Gross Alpha in water failed low at 35.2 pCi/L. The true value was 52.6 pCi/L and the acceptable range was 39.6 - 65.6 pCi/L. A QuiKResponse repeat study was analyzed and failed high at 40.3 pCi/L and the acceptable range was 21.5 - 38.5 pCi/L. Investigation showed higher than usual solids in the ERA study, out of the usual range of client samples received by the lab. Also, a different attenuation curve, Th-230, was used for the crosscheck than had been used historically. This curve was less representative of client samples. The lab review of data also showed that a replicate run of the sample would have passed but the lab chose the wrong replicate to report. The lab has gone to a lower volume of sample and resumed using the Am-241 attenuation curve which more closely mirrors client samples and subsequent crosschecks are reporting acceptable.
Quarter 1-2024 gamma results for Co-60 (air filter) and Ce-141 (soil) both failed high. The reported result for the filter Co-60 was 168+/- 12.7 and the known value was 126+/-2.1; the reported results for the soil Ce-141 was 0.106 and the known value was 0.0714+/-0.0013 pCi/g. The root cause investigation showed successful results for the filter on another detector. All QC associated with this sample was acceptable.
The soil was recounted on another detector and Ce-141 result of 0.085 was acceptable and generally the same for other geometries. All QC associated with this sample was acceptable. No effective corrective action can be taken at this time. Historically, the Filter Co-60 and soil Ce-141 results have been well within TBE QC acceptance ranges. TBE has successfully passed cross-check results, and it appears that these two results are anomalous. If there is a recurrence, a root cause investigation will be done promptly.
For the GEL Laboratory, the following six studies reported data that did not meet the specified acceptance criteria and were addressed through GELs internal nonconformance system. A summary is found below:
RAD-136 water Sr-90 failed high, while I-131 failed low.
Strontium-90: The Group Leader has reviewed the method to identify the bias.
The method LCS trend was reviewed, and no anomalies were identified. The calibration used for the analysis was compared to the new calibration performed recently and the original reported data was processed with both calibrations for comparison. Data still maintained a high bias but was within the limits of the study. A sample of known Strontium concentration was analyzed, and the results were processed using the new calibration. The result was within the mid-range of the acceptance limits. Instrument run logs were reviewed and there was no indication of possible bias from a previously counted sample.
Iodine-131: The laboratory has reviewed the data and found no errors. All batch QC samples, including a duplicate, met acceptance criteria. The carrier yields were found to be slightly higher than typically seen in this method, possibly contributing to the low bias in the result. The laboratory will continue to investigate all steps of the analytical process.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 54 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station RAD-137 water Sr-90 and I-131 studies both failed low.
Strontium-90: The unacceptable result was analyzed by a modified method of 905.0 and recovered 83% of the known value which is acceptable for the laboratorys LCS. The PT sample was also analyzed by EPA DW method 905.0 and achieved an acceptable result recovering 94% of the assigned value. The RPD between the methods was 12%. The laboratory is evaluating calibration, yield determination, techniques, reagents, carriers, and each step of the process for areas of improvement.
Iodine-131: The laboratory has reviewed the data and no errors were noted. All batch QC samples, including an in-batch duplicate, met acceptance criteria. It was noted that the carrier yields were found to be slightly higher than are typically seen in this method including the reference sample used to calculate the LCS, potentially contributing to the low bias in the result.
RAD-138 Sr-90 and I-131 on water failed low.
Strontium-90: The laboratory conducted an in-depth review of all available data and did not identify any specific errors or anomalies that could explain the performance evaluation failure. The instrument calibrations were reviewed for possible significant areas of variance when compared to previous calibrations and none were noted. The quality department conducted direct observations of the analytical processes noting minor areas of improvement during precipitations and column separations. A definitive root cause was not isolated during the investigation.
Iodine-131: The laboratory has reviewed the data and found no errors. All batch QC samples, including an in-batch duplicate, met the acceptance criteria. As part of the investigation, the quality department observed the preparation process. During the review, it was identified that a reagent may have been improperly diluted, potentially contributing to the low bias observed in the results.
This procedural discrepancy has been noted as a probable cause requiring corrective action.

Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 72 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station
- Radiological Groundwater Protection Program 1.0 Results Summary Peach Bottom Generating Station has a total of 24 wells (three Background wells, four Long-Term Shutdown wells, five Mid-Field wells, three Perimeter wells, and nine Source wells), two bedrock seeps (monitored as Mid-Field sample points), and two yard drain locations (monitored as Source sample points), that are sampled as part of the Station RGPP (EN-PB-408-4160). Figure 1a shows the surface water and overburden aquifer RGPP sample locations and Figure 1b shows the bedrock aquifer RGPP sample locations.
RGPP sampling at the Station is performed by Constellation Generation Services, under contract to Constellation. Laboratory testing is performed by Teledyne Brown Engineering. The laboratory data, field data, and depth to water readings are uploaded to the RACER website, which is a data repository for the RGPP sampling rounds.
Note that previously obstructed monitoring well MW-PB-11 was recently found and in operable condition, east of MW-PB-30, near the Administration Building A. This well was sampled as part of the MW-PB-30 groundwater investigation. This well should be incorporated into the RGPP as a Mid-Field designated well since it is downgradient of MW-PB-30 and the southern Moisture-Separator Room.
Tritium Peach Bottom has 24 monitoring wells, two bedrock seeps (monitored as Mid-Field sample points), and two yard drain locations (monitored as Source sample points) that are sampled for tritium. Samples collected from Source and Long-Term designated wells are analyzed for tritium quarterly; samples collected from Mid-Field designated wells are analyzed for tritium semi-annually, and samples collected from Background and Perimeter designated wells are analyzed for tritium annually.
The tritium concentration in a groundwater sample collected from MW-PB-30 on August 13, 2024 increased from 1,100 pCi/L to 112,000 pCi/L. Station personnel found that a penetration in a sump in the southern Moisture Separator Room allowed tritiated water to migrate to groundwater. Monitoring well MW-PB-30 is located approximately ten feet from the sump. The Station installed a barrier around the sump to stop water from entering. Tritium concentrations show a decreasing trend since the barrier was installed. As of September 24, 2024, the tritium concentration was 4,340 pCi/L. Although the tritium concentration spiked in the sample collected from MW-PB-30 during the 4th quarter 2024 RGPP round (29,700 pCi/L), tritium concentrations continue to show a decreasing trend since the barrier was installed. As of December 10,2024, the tritium concentration was 9,010 pCi/L.
Gross-Alpha Gross-alpha analysis was most recently performed on Source and Long-Term Shutdown designated wells, during the 2nd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round. Gross-alpha (dissolved and suspended) was not detected at concentrations greater than their respective Alert Levels in the samples collected during the 2nd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 73 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Per the RGPP, all Long-Term Shutdown and Source designated wells will have gross-alpha analysis performed again in 2026.
Gamma-Radionuclides Gamma-radionuclide analysis has been performed on RGPP samples (quarterly to annually) at Peach Bottom Generating Station since 2006. This extensive sampling and analysis produced over 10,800 data records for the Station. Gamma-radionuclides have not been detected at concentrations greater than their respective LLDs, in RGPP samples submitted to the vendor laboratory since 2006. Therefore, in the 2020 RGPP, gamma-radionuclide analysis frequency was reduced from annual to every two years.
Gamma-radionuclide analysis was most recently performed during the 2nd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round. Station-related gamma radionuclides were not detected at concentrations exceeding their respective LLDs in 2024. Per the RGPP, the next time gamma-radionuclide analysis will be performed is 2026.
Select Transuranics Select transuranics analysis is procedurally required annually for former Elevated designated (current Source designated) well MW-PB-25. Additionally, EN-PB-408-4160 requires select transuranics analysis if a gross alpha concentration exceeds the Alert Level in a particular well, there is an unexpected increase in tritium activity, and if a non-tritium licensed material result exceeds the High Level as established by the RGPP.
U-233/234 was detected in the sample collected from MW-PB-25 at 0.4276 pCi/L, during the 2nd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round; U-238 was also detected in the sample collected from MW-PB-25 at 0.2269 pCi/L. The detected uranium concentrations are similar to those reported in the past and are considered background concentrations because no Station related transuranics, gamma-radionuclides, Fe-55, Ni-63, and Sr-89/90 were detected in the sample collected from MW-PB-25. Table 2 provides a summary of select transuranics results (U-233/234 and U-238) since 2006.
Select transuranics analysis was performed on the sample collected from MW-PB-30 during the 3rd quarter 2024, due to the unexpected increase in tritium concentration to 112,000 pCi/L.
Select transuranics were not detected in the MW-PB-30 sample collected in the 3rd quarter 2024.
Hard-to Detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63)
Hard-to-detect analysis (Fe-55 and Ni-63) is procedurally required annually for former Elevated designated (current Source designated) well MW-PB-25, as well as Long-Term Shutdown designated wells. As part of the current EN-PB-408-4160, hard-to-detect analysis is warranted on samples collected from Source designated wells once every 5 years, starting in 2021.
Additionally, hard-to-detect analyses is required if there is an unexpected increase in tritium activity, and if a non-tritium licensed material result exceeds the High Level as established by the RGPP.
Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report YEAR: 2024 Page 74 of 80 Company: Constellation Plant: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station The 2nd quarter 2024 samples collected from Long-Term Shutdown designated well and Source designated well MW-PB-25, and the 3rd quarter 2024 sample collected from MW-PB-30, were analyzed for hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63). Hard-to-detects (Fe-55 and Ni-63) were not detected in the samples collected during the 2nd and 3rd quarter 2024. Long-Term Shutdown designated wells will have Fe-55 and Ni-63 analysis performed in 2025. Source designated wells will have Fe-55 and Ni-63 analysis performed again in 2026.
Sr-89 and Sr-90 Sr-89 and Sr-90 have been an annual procedurally required analysis on Detection, Long-Term Shutdown, and Elevated designated wells since sample point designations became part of the RGPP in 2010. EN-PB-408-4160 states that Sr-89 and 90 analyses should be performed annually for Source and Long-Term Shutdown designated sample locations. If a positive result is reported, samples collected from wells with the Sr-89 and Sr-90 detections, will be analyzed quarterly to evaluate the activity in the area of the well.
In 2024, samples were collected from the eleven Source designated sample locations and four Long-Term Shutdown designated wells during the 2nd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round and from MW-PB-30 during the 3rd quarter 2024 RGPP sampling round. Sr-89 and Sr-90 were not detected in the samples collected during the 2nd and 3rd quarter 2023 RGPP sampling round.
Precipitation Recapture Peach Bottom Generating Station is a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) generating station. The RGPP requires BWR generating stations to sample precipitation on a semi-annual basis. In 2020, the RGPP was modified to increase the minimum number of samples to eight recapture sample locations and to focus sample locations in areas close to atmospheric release points or areas that could receive atmospheric recapture. The RGPP states that a minimum of eight samples should be collected from within the protected area in a manner that surrounds the Turbine Building and Reactor Building as well as ancillary structures that could vent tritiated vapor to the atmosphere.
RGPP precipitation samples were collected in January and July 2024. Eight precipitation samples were collected across the Station during both sampling rounds. Tritium was detected at concentrations greater than 200 pCi/L in six of the sixteen recapture samples collected in 2024. The maximum tritium concentration was 380 pCi/L, in the sample collected from PB-P3.
