Has this event caused Indian Point to exceed any regulatory limit relative to radiological releases to the environment?
No. Indian Point is required by the plant Technical Specifications to have a Radioactive Effluents Controls program, whose objective is to keep doses to members of the public as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). The goal for liquid effluents is to keep annual dose less than 3 millirem to the total body and less than 10 millirem to any organ. If these limits are exceeded, the licensee must report it and take corrective action. These limits have not been exceeded. The annual legal limits, which could result in a civil penalty, include a limit of 100 millirem as stated in 10 CFR 20.1301 and 25 millirem whole body or 75 millirem to the thyroid as stated in 40 CFR 190.10.
