U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Effluent Database for Nuclear Power Plants


What Is This Database

This database is a compilation of annual Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) reports of effluent releases.  For each year, the database identifies by NPP, the following types of data:
  • Radionuclide Concentrations
  • Radiation Doses to nearby residents
  • Volume of Liquids released
Data is entered into the database directly from the annual effluent release reports submitted to the NRC from each NPP. Every effort is made to duplicate the reports exactly. A rigorous quality assurance quality control (QA/QC) program has been implemented to review the data once it has been entered into the database in an attempt to keep data entry errors to a minimum. If you are from a specific NPP and find an error, please contact your NRC Project Manager and direct them to contact the Office of Research Effluent Database Manager. All other questions should be directed to the Office of Public Affairs (see Contact Us).
