Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 6 of 51 Summary The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report presents data obtained through analyses of environmental samples collected for Arkansas Nuclear One's (ANO's)
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003. This report fulfills the requirements of ANO Unit 1 Technical Specification 5.6.2 and Unit 2 Technical Specification 6.9.4.
During 2003 as in previous years, ANO detected radionuclides attributable to plant operations at the discharge location (Station 8). ANO personnel routinely monitor results from this area in order to note any trends. The following were noted from our 2003 review:
- Tritium levels in the surface water media continue to be below regulatory reporting limits.
- Cesium-137 levels in the sediment media are not demonstrating any consistent increase in comparison to previous years. Review indicates that 2003 levels are less than that of the historical average (1990 - 2002).
Gross beta concentrations at the Station 14 (City of Russellville) indicator drinking water location continue to remain at previous operational background measurements and similar to the levels detected at the Station 57 (City of Danville) control drinking water location.
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program ANO established the REMP prior to the station becoming operational (1974) to provide data on background radiation and radioactivity normally present in the area. ANO has continued to monitor the environment by sampling air, water, sediment, fish and food products, as well as measuring radiation directly.
ANO also samples milk if milk-producing animals are present commercially within five miles of the plant.
The REMP includes sampling indicator and control locations within an approximately 20-mile radius of the plant. The REMP utilizes indicator locations near the site to show any increases or buildup of radioactivity that might occur due to station operation, and control locations farther away from the site to indicate the presence of only naturally occurring radioactivity.
ANO personnel compare indicator results with control and preoperational results to assess any impact ANO operation might have had on the surrounding environment.
In 2003, ANO personnel collected environmental samples for radiological analysis. They compared results of indicator locations with control locations and previous studies, and concluded that operation of ANO has had minimal radiological impact on the environment.
Review of 2003 data, in many cases, revealed undetectable radiation levels in the environment and near background level in significant pathways associated with ANO.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 7 of 51 Harmful Effects or Irreversible Damage The REMP monitoring did not detect any harmful effects or evidence of irreversible damage in 2003.
Therefore, no analysis or planned course of action to alleviate problems was necessary.
Reporting Levels ANO's review indicates that no samples equaled or exceeded reporting levels for radioactivity concentration in environmental samples, as outlined in Units 1 and 2 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Table 2.6-3, when averaged over any calendar quarter, due to ANO effluents. Therefore, 2003 results did not trigger any Radiological Monitoring Program Special Reports.
Radioactivity Not Attributable to ANO The ANO REMP detected radioactivity attributable to other sources twice. These include the 25th Chinese nuclear test explosion in 1980, and the radioactivity plume release due to reactor core degradation at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Prior to 1981, the ANO REMP detected radioactivity resulting from nuclear weapons testing, with Cesium-137 continuing to be periodically detected in certain pathways.
Comparison to Federal and State Programs ANO personnel compared REMP data to federal and state monitoring programs as results became available. Historically, the programs used for comparison have included the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) TLD Direct Radiation Monitoring Network and the Arkansas Department of Health (ADH).
The NRC TLD Network Program was discontinued in 1998. Historically these results have compared to those from the ANO REMP.
ANO TLD results continue to remain similar to the historical average and continue to verify that plant operation is not affecting the ambient radiation levels in the environment.
The ADH and the ANO REMP entail similar radiological environmental monitoring program requirements. These programs include collecting air samples and splitting or sharing sample media such as water, sediment and fish. Both programs have obtained similar results over previous years.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 8 of 51 Sample Deviations Milk The REMP did not include milk sampling within five miles (8 km) of ANO in 2003 due to unavailability.
ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM require collection of milk samples if available commercially within 8 km (5 miles) of the plant. ANO personnel collected vegetation samples to monitor the ingestion pathway, as specified in the ODCM, because of milk unavailability.
- Required Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) Values All LLDs during this reporting period were within the acceptable limits required by Table 2.6-2 of the ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM.
- Air Samples Listed below are air sampler deviations that occurred during 2003 due to electrical (power losses) and equipment failures. These deviations did not result in a missed sample and no LLD values were exceeded. As described in footnote (a) to ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Table 2.6-1, deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.

- Missed Samples One first quarter TLD (Station 148) and one fourth quarter TLD (Station 152) was missed during 2003 due to vandalism. These losses were isolated instances that did not recur during the year and was replaced with a new TLD by ANO personnel once discovered.
The recovery rate for TLDs during 2003 was 98%
(94 of 96).
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 9 of 51 Although these were isolated instances that were corrected by ANO personnel once discovered, footnote (a) to ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Table 2.6-1 allows deviations from the required sampling schedule due to malfunction of sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.
- Unavailable Results ANO received analytical results in adequate time for inclusion in this report. In addition, ANO's review identified no missing results.
Program Modifications ANO made no modifications to the REMP during 2003.
Attachments contains results of air, TLD, water, sediment, fish, and food products samples collected in 2003. TLDs were analyzed by Waterford-3 Dosimetry. All remaining samples were analyzed by River Bend Station's (RBS) Environmental Laboratory. Attachment 1 also contains RBS' participation in the interlaboratory comparison program during 2003. contains dose calculations performed for sediment using a generalized equation from Regulatory Guide 1.109, "Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I."
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 10 of 51 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program ANO established the REMP to ensure that plant operating controls properly function to minimize any associated radiation endangerment to human health or the environment. The REMP is designed for:
- Analyzing important pathways for anticipated types and quantities of radionuclides released into the environment.
- Considering the possibility of a buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment and identifying physical and biological accumulations that may contribute to human exposures.
- Considering the potential radiation exposure to plant and animal life in the environment surrounding ANO.
- Correlating levels of radiation and radioactivity in the environment with radioactive releases from station operation.
1.2 Pathways Monitored The airborne, direct radiation, waterborne and ingestion pathways are monitored as required by the ANO ODCM. A description of the ANO REMP utilized to monitor the exposure pathways is described in Table 1.1 and shown in Figures 1-1 and 1-2.
Section 2.0 of this report provides a discussion of 2003 sampling results with Section 3.0 providing a summary of results for the monitored exposure pathways.
1.3 Land Use Census ANO personnel conduct a land use census biannually, as required by ANO Units 1 and Unit 2 ODCM Section 2.6.2. The purpose of this census is to identify changes in uses of land within five miles of ANO that would require modifications to the REMP or ODCM. The most important criteria during this census are to determine location in each sector of the nearest:
- 1) Residence
- 2) Animal milked for human consumption
- 3) Garden of greater than 500 square feet producing broadleaf vegetation
- Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 11 of 51 The method used by ANO personnel for conducting this land use census is as follows:
- ANO personnel conduct door-to-door field surveys and/or aerial surveys in each meteorological sector out to five miles in order to locate the nearest resident and milk animal.
- Consultation with local agricultural authorities is used in instances when personal contact cannot be made.
- As a result of these surveys, the following information is obtained in each meteorological sector:
- 1) Nearest permanent residence
- 2) Nearest milking animal
- ANO personnel identify locations on the map, measures distances to ANO (or use a GPS system) and records results.
- Locations, if any, are identified which yield a calculated dose or dose commitments greater than those currently calculated in the ODCM.
- ANO personnel compare results to previous census.
- ANO personnel do not perform a garden census since ODCM Section 2.6.2 allows the routine sampling of broadleaf vegetation in the highest D/Q sector near the site boundary in lieu of the garden census.

Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 20 of 51 2.0 Interpretation and Trends of Results 2.1 Air Particulate and Radioiodine Sample Results Iodine-131 was not detected in the radioiodine cartridges during 2003, as has been the case in previous years. Indicator gross beta air particulate results for 2003 were similar to those background levels obtained in previous years of the operational REMP and well below preoperational levels as seen below. Results are reported as annual average pCi/m3.
Monitoring Period Result Preoperational 0.05 1998 -2002 0.023 2003 0.024 Table 3.1, which includes gross beta concentrations, provides a comparison of the indicator and control means, and further emphasizes that the airborne pathway continues to remain at background levels.
2.2 Thermoluminescent Dosimetry Sample Results ANO reports measured dose as net exposure (field reading less [transit + shield reading]) normalized to 92 days and relies on comparison of the indicator locations to the control as a measure of plant impact. Gamma radiation dose in the reporting period was compared to historical control location readings for previous years as shown in Figure 2-1.
ANO's comparison of the results to the control indicates that the ambient radiation levels are unaffected by plant operations. As shown in Figure 2-1, results from the indicator locations were within the upper (+) three standard deviation range of 11.5 mrem/quarter for the control. Therefore, levels continue to remain at or near background.
2.3 Water Sample Results Analytical results for 2003 surface water and drinking water samples were similar to those reported in previous years.
Surface water samples were collected and analyzed for gamma radionuclides and tritium.
Gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits which is typically consistent with that of previous operational years. Tritium continues to be detected at
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 21 of 51 the indicator location. However, the levels detected were within the range that has typically been seen at this location as shown below. Results are reported as annual average pCi/I.
Monitorinig Period Concentration 1998 - 2002 Minimum Value 829.8 2003 Value 272.0 1998 - 2002 Maximum Value 2070.0 Preoperational Value 200.0 ANO personnel have noted no definable trends associated with the tritium levels at the discharge location. Levels detected during 2003 and previous operational years have been well below regulatory reporting limits. Therefore, the operation of ANO had no impact on this pathway during 2003 and levels of radionuclides remain similar to those obtained in operational years.
Drinking water samples were collected from two locations (indicator and control).
Although ANO personnel utilize Station 14 (City of Russellville) as an indicator location due to the potential for the pathway to exist, the City of Russellville has not withdrawn water from Lake Dardanelle in the past several years.
Drinking water samples were analyzed for gross beta radionuclides, Iodine-131, gamma radionuclides and tritium.
Gamma radionuclides, Iodine-131 and tritium concentrations were below detectable limits at the indicator and control locations, which is consistent with preoperational and operational years. Although the 2003 gross beta concentration for the indicator location (Station 14) is elevated as compared to previous operational years as shown below, ANO personnel have noted no definable trend. In addition, gross beta concentrations at the indicator and control locations for 2003 are similar as shown in Table 3.1. Results below are reported as annual average pCi/l.

<LLD 335.0 200.0 Therefore, the operation of ANO did not have any definable impact on this pathway during 2003 and radionuclides monitored for this pathway continue to remain at background levels.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 22 of 51 2.4 Sediment Sample Results Sediment samples were collected from two locations in 2003 and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. As in previous years, Cesiurn-137 attributable to ANO was detected in the discharge sediment. However, ANO personnel have noted no definable trends associated with this radionuclide at the discharge location.
The concentration detected during 2003 was below that of historical averages seen at this location.
Since reporting levels for radionuclides in sediment have not been established, an evaluation of potential dose to the public from this media was performed as shown in. The annual maximum dose from all radionuclides to the skin and total body was <0.01 millirem.
Design objectives given in 10CFR50, Appendix I for liquid effluents are annual doses of <3 millirem total body and <10 millirem any organ. The values of <0.01 millirem for the skin and total body are well within the design objective criteria. Therefore, the level of radionuclides detected in 2003 had no significant impact on the environment or public.
2.5 Milk Sample Results Milk samples were not collected during 2003 due to the unavailability of indicator locations within 8-km of ANO. Since there are no dairies within five miles of the ANO site, it is concluded ANO's operation had no impact on this pathway in 2003.
2.6 Fish Sample Results Fish samples were collected from two locations and analyzed for gamma radionuclides. In 2003, gamma radionuclides were below detectable limits, which is consistent with the preoperational monitoring period and operational results since 1997. Therefore, based on these measurements, ANO operations had no significant radiological impact upon the environment or public by this pathway.
2.7 Food Product Sample Results Food product samples were collected when available from two locations in 2003 and analyzed for Iodine-131 and gamma radionuclides.
The 2003 levels remained undetectable, as has been the case in previous years. Therefore, since levels continue to remain at background, it can be concluded that plant operations is not impacting this pathway.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 23 of 51 2.8 Land Use Census Results The land use census did not identify any new locations during the September 2003 survey that yielded a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than those currently calculated. Minor distance corrections (<0.1 miles) were made to Sectors "NNE",
"SW" and "W" due to the use of more accurate global positioning satellite measuring technology (see Table 2.1).
Also, the land use census identified no milk-producing animals within a five-mile radius of the plant site. ANO personnel chose not to perform a garden census in 2003, which is allowed by ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Section 2.6.2, in lieu of broadleaf vegetation sampling in the meteorological sector (Sector 13) with the highest "D/Q".
2.9 Interlaboratory Comparison Results RBS' Environmental Laboratory analyzed interlaboratory comparison samples for ANO to fulfill the requirements of ANO Units 1 and 2 ODCM Section 2.6.3., 2003 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Report, contains these results. ANO's review of RBS' interlaboratory comparison indicated that 98% of the sample results for accuracy and precision were within the acceptable control limits of the three normalized deviations.
For those sample results outside the acceptable control limits, ANO's and RBS's review indicated no impact on previously reported data. also provides additional discussion regarding sample results outside the acceptable control limits.

(a)
The "known" values are listed with a range reflecting control (3 sigma) limits.
(b)
The normalized deviation from the "known" value is computed from the deviation and the standard error of the mean; +2.000 is the warning limit and +/-3.000 is the control limit. This is a measure of accuracy of the analytical methods.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 48 of 51 (c)
The normalized range is computed from the mean range, the control limit, and the standard error of the range; +2.000 is the warning limit and +3.000 is the control limit. This is a measure of precision of the analytical methods.
(d)
The results reported were out of the control limits.
Attachment to OCAN050401 Page 49 of 51 Interlaboratory Comparison Program Exceptions There was one result outside the control limits for accuracy in the 2003 cross check program participation studies.
This result was in a gamma isotopic analysis of a water sample.
The result outside the control limits for accuracy was in the analysis of the 1-131 radionuclide in sample study E3755-125 of 06/12/2003. RBS normalized-deviation for the analysis was +3.06 with control limits of +/-3.00. This high bias result is considered conservative and is considered as having no impact on past results of the program. I-131 results were all within control limits in other cross check samples for the year 2003.
There is no impact accessed on previously reported data due to these results.
Environmental samples are analyzed and reported with a ninety-five percent confidence level that the analytical result with its associated error encompasses the "true" value.
Ninety-six percent of RBS environmental crosscheck results were within control limits for accuracy and precision during 2003.
