SUMMARY

S

  • During the year 2011, a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) was conducted for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) to assess the levels of radiation or radioactivity in the environment.
  • More than 1400 samples were collected (including TLDs) over the course of the monitoring period, with 0approximately 2300 radionuclide or exposure rate analyses performed.

S This report contains results from the operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) compiled for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. This program was conducted in accordance with DCPP Program Directive CY2, "Radiological Monitoring and Controls Program," and RP 1.ID 11, "Environmental Radiological Monitoring Procedure."

The types of samples (matrix ID) collected for this monitoring period were as follows:

Air Particulate (AP) Air Cartridges (AC) for iodide monitoring, Direct Radiation (TLD's) Milk (MK) Meat (MT) Vegetation (VG) 0 Drinking Water (DW) Ground Water (GW) Surface Water (SW) Aquatic Vegetation (AV)

Fish (FH) Mussels (IM) Sediment (SD) Rain (ML)

S 0

Diablo Canyon REMP collected environmental samples and shipped them to General Engineering Labs (GEL) located in Charleston, South Carolina. All 2011 REMP environmental lab sample analyses were performed by GEL.

0 The ambient direct radiation levels in the DCPP offsite environs did not change and were within the S preoperational range. Beginning in June 2009, DCPP began loading of the onsite Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The ISFSI had no significant impact on the REMP TLD station readings in the vicinity of the site boundary and beyond. The ambient direct radiation levels within the DCPP plant site boundary near the ISFSI were elevated due to dry cask used fuel storage. An evaluation of direct radiation measurements and member of public occupancy times surrounding the ISFSI indicated all federal criteria for member of public dose limits were conservatively met.

0 Groundwater monitoring data was collected in accordance with the nuclear industry NEI 07-07 Groundwater Protection Initiative (August 2007). Concentrations of tritium were detected in three monitoring wells beneath the DCPP power block (OWl, OW2, and DY 1). This tritium was attributed to rain-washout of gaseous tritium exiting the plant vent system (via an approved discharge path). It should be noted that studies of the DCPP site indicated that any groundwater (subsurface) flow beneath the DCPP power block was not used as a source of drinking water. Due to topography and site characteristics, this subsurface flow discharged into the Pacific Ocean which is approximately 100 yards from the power block.

An Old Steam Generator Storage Facility (OSGSF) long term storage mausoleum was constructed within the DCPP site boundary in 2007 for storage of eight retired DCPP steam generators and two retired DCPP reactor heads. This equipment was placed into this OSGSF on the following dates:

  • November 2009 (outage 2R15), one DCPP Unit Two (U-2) Reactor (Rx) Head

" October 2010 (outage 1R16), one DCPP Unit One (U-i) Rx Head This OSGSF did not cause any changes to the ambient direct radiation levels within the DCPP environs during 2011.

0 The OSGSF sumps were inspected quarterly by REMP personnel. Rainwater in-leakage was found within the OSGSF sumps during the first quarter of 2011. This rainwater had tritium concentrations of 2,000 to 34,000 pCi/Liter due to diffusion of tritium from the stored equipment into the sump rainwater. The rainwater from the sump was removed and processed via an approved radwaste discharge pathway.

Subsequent construction repairs to the OSGSF have prevented rainwater from entering the OSGSF throughout the remainder of 2011. These sumps have remained dry.

0 The results of the 2011 REMP showed no unusual findings from DCPP site operations. These results were also compared to preoperational data and showed no unusual trends.

0 On March 1 1th, 2011 the Tohoku earthquake (magnitude 9.0 Mw) and tsunami struck the east coast of Japan. The tsunami associated with this event caused nuclear accidents at the Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Isotopic releases occurred in Japan and were carried by the jet stream to the west coast of the United States. The DCPP REMP initiated numerous supplemental sampling to establish Fukushima contributions to DCPP isotopic background concentrations. These 0

  • Unit 1 began commercial operation in 1985, and Unit 2 began commercial operation in 1986.

S

  • Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) samples were collected by DCPP REMP personnel and sent to General Engineering Labs in Charleston, South Carolina for analysis. Fish (except market fish) and ocean sediment samples were collected by contract divers of Tenera Environmental and given to DCPP REMP personnel for shipment to GEL. Market fish samples were collected by local commercial fishermen and then purchased by DCPP REMP personnel in one of two local fish markets for
  • shipment to GEL. Direct radiation analyses were conducted by DCPP REMP personnel and analyzed by the
  • DCPP Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Lab.
  • DCPP sent replicate samples of milk (5F2), drinking water (DWI), outfall water (OUT), Diablo

2.0 PROGRAM DESIGN 0 The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) was designed with the following specific objectives in mind. These objectives continue to be in force, to varying degrees, throughout facility operation.

" To provide an early indication of the appearance or accumulation of any radioactive material in the environment caused by facility operation. Preoperational data is also used in this comparison.

0

" To provide assurance to regulatory agencies and the public that the station's environmental impact is known and within anticipated limits.

0

  • To provide standby monitoring capability for rapid assessment of risk to the general public in the event of unanticipated or accidental releases of radioactive material.

0 The environmental media selected were based on the critical dose pathways of the radionuclides from the environment to man. They included the following: direct radiation, air, water, fish, ocean sediment, and invertebrates. Supplemental samples such as algae, kelp, local agricultural crops, recreational beach sand, groundwater, meat, and milk were also collected. The sampling locations were determined by land use, site meteorology, and local demographics. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Radiological Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979 The detailed sampling requirements of the RENT are given in Table 2.1 of this report. Summaries of REMP sampling for the period are shown in Appendix A of this report. Direct dose (environmental TLDs) results are shown in Appendix B of this report. The REMP sample isotopic results are shown in Appendix C of this report. Any deviations from the REMP sampling schedule / requirements are documented in section 4.0 of this report.

2.1 MONITORING ZONES The REMP was designed to allow comparison of levels of radioactivity in samples from the areas possibly influenced by DCPP to levels found in areas not influenced by the facility operations. Areas with the potential to be influenced by facility operations are called "indicator" stations. Areas with sufficient distance from the plant that are not likely to be influenced by facility operations are called the "control" stations. The distinction between the two zones is based on distance and relative direction from the plant. Analysis of survey data from the two zones aided in determination of site environmental influence. It also helped in differentiation between radioactive releases and seasonal variations in the natural environmental background.

2.3 DESCRIPTION

S OF REMP MONITORING 2.3.1 Direct Radiation Direct ambient radiation was measured at 31 stations in the vicinity of DCPP using

  • Panasonic UD814 TLD badges. The TLD badges had valid element correction
  • factors (ECF), were calibrated using a NIST-traceable cesium-137 source, were annealed prior to placement, and were sealed in watertight packaging. Three badges
  • were placed at each station each quarter. These badges were replaced on a quarterly
  • basis.
  • Direct ambient radiation was measured at 8 stations in the vicinity of the ISFSI
  • using Panasonic LTD814 TLD badges. The TLD badges had valid element correction factors (ECF), were calibrated using a NIST-traceable cesium- 137 0 source, were annealed prior to placement, and were sealed in watertight packaging.

Three badges were placed at each station each quarter. These badges were replaced on a quarterly basis.

  • The field TLD badge packets were prepared and processed by DCPP personnel and the DCPP TLD Lab. Control badges were carried with the field badges to measure 0 any dose received during transit. The location, date, and time of exchange were
  • recorded on a log sheet which accompanied the field badges. The net exposure was reported over a standard 90 day quarter.
  • DCPP Environmental TLD standard quarter results are measurements of all environmental gamma radiation sources (cosmic, terrestrial, radon, etc) at each
  • station during the deployment period. Transient and lab storage background dose
  • contributions were subtracted prior to reporting.

0 2.3.2 Airborne Radioactivity 0 Air particulate and radioiodine sampling were performed weekly at six indicator stations: MT1, 0S2, 151, 7D1, 8S1 and 8S2. Air particulate and radioiodine sampling was performed weekly at one control station: 5F 1.

Constant flow air samplers were used to draw air through paper filters to collect air particulates and through triethylenediamine (TEDA) impregnated charcoal cartridges to collect radioiodine. The air samplers were set at a flow rate of 1.5 standard cubic feet per minute. The air samplers were located approximately one meter above the ground. The sample volumes were determined by F&J Corporation model DF- I flowmeters (corrected to standard temperature and pressure, STP) which were installed downstream of the sample head. At the end of the sampling period (weekly), the filter and cartridge were collected. All necessary data regarding the air volume readings, flowrate, sampler time on / off, date of collection, and sampler location were recorded and submitted to GEL along with the samples for analysis.

Approximately 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after sampling (to allow for radon and thoron daughter decay), the filter papers collected from the field were placed on individual planchets and counted for gross beta activity in a low background, thin window gas proportional counter. Gamma isotopic analysis was then performed on quarterly composites of the filters (by station) to determine the activity concentration of gamma emitting isotopes. The quarterly composite is reported at the midpoint of the quarter monitored.

The TEDA impregnated charcoal cartridges were counted for each weekly station sampling period for gamma isotopic analyses to determine the radioiodine concentration.

2.3.3 Waterborne Water samples (drinking water, surface water, monitor wells, and groundwater) were collected at the frequencies shown in Table 2.1 Ocean surface water samples were collected at Diablo Cove (station DCM),

Rattlesnake Canyon (station 7C2), and at the plant Outfall (station OUT).

Drinking water samples were collected from Diablo Creek Weir (station 5S2),

Diablo Creek Outlet (station WN2), Blanchard Spring (station 1A2), and from the DCPP drinking water system (station DWl). Drinking water was also collected from a control station located in San Luis Obispo at the Offsite Emergency Lab (station OEL).

Supplemental groundwater samples were collected from Water Well 02 (WW2) and DCSF96-1 (8S3).

Supplemental onsite monitoring well samples were collected from Observation Well 01 (OWl), Observation Well 02 (OW2), and a french drain system labeled Drywell 115 (DY 1). These shallow wells were located in close proximity to the facility power block structures and within the protected area.

S After collection, the samples were securely sealed and labeled with sample type, station ID, date, time of collection, person performing the collection and sent to GEL for analysis.

0 2.3.4 Marine Biological, Beach Sand, and Ocean Sediment

  • The REMP required sampling of rockfish (family Sebastes), perch (family Embiotocidae), mussels (family Mytilus), and ocean sediment from indicator
  • station DCM and control station 7C2. All other marine samples collected were considered supplemental. These supplemental marine samples included the following: intertidal algae, intertidal mussels, kelp, and market fish. The intertidal
  • samples were collected by DCPP personnel during low tidal conditions. Kelp was
  • collected quarterly by DCPP personnel from the offshore kelp bed in the vicinity of the plant. Quarterly samples of fish and an annual sample of ocean sediments were
  • collected from the plant environs by contracted divers (TENERA Environmental).

The Tenera divers fillet the fish and leave a small portion of skin for identification.

Beach sand was collected by DCPP personnel between the high and low tide boundaries at nearby recreational beaches. Fish caught locally by commercial

  • fishermen were purchased from two local fish markets (Avila Beach Pier-7D3 and Morro Bay-2F1).
  • All samples were subject to unavailability due to seasonal fluctuations or unfavorable sampling conditions. The above samples were sealed in plastic bags
  • immediately upon collection. Mussels were sent to GEL in-shell where GEL
  • personnel removed the meat & internal organs for analysis. Only edible portions of the fish were analyzed (fish fillets). The samples were labeled with sample Stype, station ID, date, time of collection, and the individual who performed collection. The samples were then frozen (to prevent spoilage odor) before they were sent to GEL for analysis.

2.3.5 Food Crops The REMP required broadleaf food vegetation to be collected in the nearest off-site locations of the highest calculated annual average ground level D/Q

  • (dispersion parameter) within 5 miles. There was no broadleaf food vegetation available that satisfied this requirement. Because these food products were unavailable, the DCPP REMP conducted additional air sampling in the SE (station 8S2) and NNW (station 1S1) sectors. Additional representative samples
  • of food crops in season were collected monthly from supplemental stations: Cal Poly Farm (5F2), Kawaoka Farm in Arroyo Grande (7G1), Mello Farm (7C1)
  • along the site access road, and quarterly household gardens (3C1 and 6C1).

0 The monthly samples (including 3C 1) were collected by DCPP personnel and

  • sealed immediately in plastic bags. The quarterly household garden sample (6C 1)
  • was provided to DCPP personnel by the land occupant (due to property access difficulty and privacy). The samples were labeled with sample type, station ID, collection date, collection time, and the individual who performed collection. The
  • samples were normally frozen before they were sent to GEL for analysis (to
  • prevent spoilage odor).

2.3.6 Milk There were no animals within the vicinity of the plant that were utilized for milk consumption by humans. However, supplemental samples of cow milk were collected monthly from Cal Poly Farm (5F2) which was approximately 13 miles from DCPP. Two 1-gallon plastic containers of milk were collected each sampling period by DCPP personnel. Forty grams of sodium bio-sulfite preservative were added to each gallon of milk sample. The containers were sealed and shaken thoroughly to distribute the preservative. The containers were labeled with sample type, station ID, collection date, collection time, and the individual who performed collection. The samples were then express shipped to GEL for analysis.

2.3.7 Meat A rancher routinely grazed cattle, goats, and sheep within three miles of the site boundary. These livestock meats were offered at local farmer's markets and private distribution. This meat commodity began at the end of 2007. REMP personnel obtained meat samples of each species directly from the land owner.

Gamma spec and strontium analyses were performed on the meat.

Additional Fukushima Japan event meat sampling was conducted of Hearst Ranch meat which is located approximately 37 miles north of the DCPP site. This Hearst Ranch meat is free range, grass fed beef. This new REMP station code was HCM and provides a control location far from the site. REMP personnel purchased this Hearst Ranch meat directly from local grocery stores.

Property owners could hunt deer and wild pig (in season) within 5 miles of the site boundary. The REMP obtained one deer meat sample from these property owners. Gamma spec and strontium analyses were performed on the deer meat.

The meat was initially packaged by the livestock owners and turned over to REMP personnel. The packages were then separated by species and placed in large zip-lock bags. Each bag was labeled with sample type, station ID, collection date, collection time, and the individual who performed the collection.

The samples were then frozen and sent to GEL for analysis.

Table Notations

1. Deviations are permitted from the required sampling schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to circumstances such as hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, malfunction of automatic sampling equipment and other legitimate reasons.

If specimens are unobtainable due to sampling equipment malfunction, effort shall be made to complete corrective action 0 prior to the end of the next sampling period. All deviations from the sampling schedule shall be documented in the Annual 0 Radiological Environmental Operating Report. It is recognized that, at times, it may not be possible or practicable to continue to obtain samples of the media of choice at the most desired location or time. In these instances, suitable specific alternative media and locations may be chosen for the particular pathway in question and appropriate substitutions made 0 within 30 days in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, and submitted in the next Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, including a revised figure(s) and table for the ERMP reflecting the new location(s) with 0 supporting information identifying the cause of the unavailability of samples for that pathway and justifying the section of the new location(s) for obtaining samples.

0 2. For the purposes of this table, a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) is considered to be one phosphor. There are normally three calcium sulfate phosphors in an environmental TLD BADGE. Film badges shall not be used as dosimeters for 0 measuring direct radiation.

3. Airborne particulate sample filters shall be analyzed for gross beta radioactivity 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or more after sampling to allow 0 for radon and thoron daughter decay. If gross beta activity in air particulate samples is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control samples, gamma isotopic analysis shall be performed on the individual samples.
4. Gamma isotopic analysis means the identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may be attributable to the effluents from the facility.
5. If broadleaf vegetation food products are unavailable, additional air sampling as specified in Table 2.1, Parts 2 & 3 will be done in the SE (Station 8S2) and NNW (station IS1) sectors.
6. The Branch Technical Position (Nov 79) states, "Any location from which milk can no longer be obtained may be dropped from the surveillance program after notifying the NRC in writing that they are no longer obtainable at that location".

Although milk sampling performed at 5F2 is outside the 5-mile radius and is supplemental to the REMP, this notification should take place if 5F2 milk sampling ceases.

TABLE 2.3 (Continued) 0 Table Notations For a particular measurement system, which may include radiochemical separation:

4 66 LLD = . Sb E x V x 2.22 x Y x exp(-Xt)

Where:

LLD = the "a priori" the lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume)

Sb = the standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute)

E = the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation)

V = the sample size (in units of mass or volume) 2.22 = the number of transformations per minute per pico-curie Y = the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable)

? = the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide t = the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting The value of Sb used in the calculation of the LLD for a detection system will be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background will include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., potassium-40 in milk samples).

Analyses will be performed in such a manner that the stated LLDs will be achieved under routine conditions. Occasionally background fluctuations, unavoidably small sample sizes, the presence of interfering nuclides, or other uncontrollable circumstances may render these LLDs unachievable. In such cases, the contributing factors will be identified and described in the Annual Environmental Radiological Operating Report.

0 Typical values of E, V, Y and t should be used in the calculation. It should be recognized that the LLD is defined as a pdori (before the fact) limit representing the capability of a measurement system and not as a posteriori (after the fact) limit for a particular measurement.

  • 3.0 RADIOLOGICAL DATA-

SUMMARY

OF TABLES This section summarizes the analytical results of the environmental samples, which were collected 0during the monitoring period. The results, shown in Appendix A, are presented in a format similar to that prescribed in the NRC's Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring. The results are ordered by sample media type and then by radionuclide.

Each table is nuclide specific, and the total number of analyses for that radionuclide during the monitoring period, are provided. Additionally, the number of measurements which exceeded the

  • Reporting Levels (NRC Notification Level) found in Table 2.4 of this report are provided. The first column lists the matrix or pathway sampled during the period. The second column lists the nuclides analyzed and number of samples performed. The third column provides the required a-priori Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for radionuclides that have detection capability requirements as specified in Table 2.3 of this report. The sixth and seventh columns contain the mean and average results for locations. The eighth column contains the number for reportable occurrences for the location pathway. Occasionally, the required LLD is not met. An example of this occurrence might be due to hold times between sampling and analysis. Such cases, if any, are addressed in Section 4.0 of this report.

The Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) listed for each analysis in Appendix C was used as an evaluation point for samples collected in the calendar year. The MDC was calculated by the Slaboratory with each analysis (a-posteriori) and incorporates conditions observed at the laboratory during the analysis. This MDC value mathematically represents the lowest concentration of activity that can be detected by the laboratory with a 95% confidence level. The MDC is also understood as 0the concentration where there is only a 5% probability of falsely reporting a positive detection in a true blank sample. Note that the MDC equation used by the environmental lab is equivalent to the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) equation specified in NUREG 1301. For this report, a sample is considered to yield a 'detectable measurement" when the "result" concentration exceeds the

  • associated MDC value.
  • Additionally, the tables of Appendix A provide the mean of all sample results analyzed for the specified radionuclide/ media type, the range, and the number-of samples that were considered to Shave detectable activity of all the samples counted.

0 The mean value consists of the average of detectable concentrations.

0 The lowest and highest detected concentration values were listed

  • The number of detectable measurements and the total number of measurements were listed. For example, (4/20) would indicate that 4 of the 20 samples collected, for that 0sample type and that radionuclide, contained detectable radioactivity.

0 The radionuclides reported in this section represent those that:

  • had an LLD requirement in Table 2.3 of this report, or a Reporting Level listed in Table 2.4
  • were of specific interest for any other reason 0The radionuclides routinely analyzed and reported for a gamma spectroscopy analysis are: Ac-228,
  • Ag-1 10m, Be-7, K-40, Ce-144, Co-57, Co-58, Co-60, Cr-51, 1-131, Cs-134, Cs-137, Ba-140, La-140, Fe-59, Mn-54, Nb-95, Ru-103, Rh-106, Sb-124, Sb-125, Zn-65, and Zr-95.

Data from direct radiation measurements made by TLD are also provided in Appendix A in a similar format described above. Actual quarterly TLD results are listed in Appendix B.

Additional supplemental REMP sampling was conducted in 2011 for the Fukushima Prefecture Japan, Dai-Ichi NPS nuclear accidents. This Fukushima event sampling data is also provided in Appendix A tables as described above.

0 4.0 ANALYSIS OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESULTS 0

4.1 REMP Sampling Variance / Deviations The DCPP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program allows for deviations in the REMP sampling schedule "if samples are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions, seasonal unavailability, or malfunction of sampling equipment." Such deviations do not compromise the program's effectiveness and are normally anticipated for any radiological environmental monitoring program.

The DCPP REMP includes both required and supplemental samples. This section describes the variances with the required samples and describes some of the supplemental sampling during the year.

4.1.1 DIRECT RADIATION There were no abnormal affects to the 2011 station environmental TLD results.

Previous reporting errors were made in the 2009 and 2010 AREORs for stations 1Al and 4S1.

0 4.2 COMPARISON OF ACHIEVED LLDS WITH REQUIREMENTS For each analysis having an LLD requirement, criteria for the calculated "a priori" (before the fact) LLD were met during the sampling and analysis process. Meeting these process criteria satisfies the "a priori" LLD requirements. The "a posteriori"(after the fact) Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) for that analysis was also compared with the required "a priori" (before the fact) LLD.

Table 2.3 of this report gives the required "a priori" Lower Limits of Detection (LLDs) for environmental sample analyses required by the DCPP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. Occasionally an LLD is not achievable due to situations, such as hold times between sampling and analysis. In such a case, a discussion of the situation is provided.

The supplemental Fukushima event air sampling was conducted with different protocols than the normal REMP sampling and therefore the normal REMP LLDs may or may not apply. For example, the REMP increased Fukushima event sampling air flow (2.0 scfmn) which resulted in increased sample volumes during those time periods. The Fukushima sampling event particulate filters were analyzed at the end of each week (instead of quarterly) which destroyed the filters for strontium analysis.

S All other REMP samples analyzed met the specific "a-priori" LLD requirements in 2011.

4.3 COMPARISON OF RESULTS AGAINST REMP REPORTING LEVELS 0 Notification is required whenever a Reporting Level in Table 2.4 of this document is exceeded.

Reporting Levels are the environmental concentrations that relate to the ALARA design dose objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. It should be noted that environmental concentrations are averaged over calendar quarters for the purposes of this comparison, and that Reporting Levels apply only to measured levels of radioactivity due to DCPP plant related effluents.

No REMP Reporting Levels were exceeded during this monitoring period.

0 It should be noted that Fukushima Japan event related isotopes are not DCPP plant related effluents and therefore do not apply to these reporting levels.

  • 4.4 DATA ANALYSIS BY MEDIA TYPE
  • The REMP data for each media type is discussed below. A sample is considered to yield a "detectable measurement" when the result concentration exceeds the MDC for that analysis.
  • 4.4.1 Direct Radiation (Environmental TLDs)

Direct radiation is continuously measured at 31 locations surrounding DCPP using Panasonic UD-814 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). These 31 locations are made up of 29 indicator stations & 2 control stations. These dosimeters are collected every calendar quarter for readout at the DCPP TLD Lab. The results are trended with preoperational and historical operating values for adverse trends.

DCPP Environmental TLD standard quarter results are measurements of all environmental gamma 0radiation sources (cosmic, terrestrial, radon, etc) at each station during the deployment period.

Transient and lab storage background dose contributions were subtracted prior to reporting.

  • It should be noted that the following Environmental TLD locations are all within the DCPP site boundary and are not located within the unrestricted area :0S1, 0S2, WNl, 1S1, 2S1, 3S1, 4S1, 5S1, 5S3, 6S1, 7S1, 8S1, 8S2, 9S1, MT1, and IS1 through IS8. The unrestricted area surrounding DCPP is sparsely inhabited out to five miles from the site (see 2011 Land Use Census). The
  • ambient direct radiation levels within the DCPP plant site boundary (approximately 800 meter radius from U- I CTMT structure) were elevated due to dry cask used fuel and radioactive material storage. An evaluation of direct radiation measurements and member of public occupancy times
  • within the site boundary indicated all federal criteria f6r member of public dose limits were conservatively met.

The first graph provided below illustrated overall trending of environmental TLDs with regard to distance from the DCPP plant site. Inner ring, outer ring, special interest, and control stations were Scombined and averaged to obtain a single standard quarter value for each plot line represented. It should be noted that inner and outer ring TLD averages remain within and trend with pre-operational ranges. It should also be noted that ISFSI loading and the Fukushima Japan nuclear 0accidents have not affected these inner and outer ring trending results.

The second graph provided below illustrated averaged environmental TLD results from the northwest (stations OS 1, 0S2, OB 1) and southeast (stations 8S1, 8S2) sectors. These sectors were chosen for graphical trending due to historical wind rose results for the site. The northwest and 5southeast sectors have been the highest historical averaged wind directions and therefore would have the most impact on environmental TLD results. Averaged control stations (4D 1, 5F 1) were provided for reference.

0Appendix B provides individual station environmental TLD standard quarter dose results.

Appendix B also provides an individual station historical average along with low/high ranges from 1987 to 2010 for comparison of the 2011 data.

No adverse trends were noted in 2011 Environmental TLD monitoring.

0 0 Direct radiation is also continuously measured at 8 stations surrounding the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) using Panasonic UD-814 thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). These 8 stations are located directly adjacent to the ISFSI protected area, with 2 stations on each of the 0 four sides of the ISFSI pad. It should be noted that these stations and the ISFSI are well within the DCPP site boundary and are not located within the unrestricted area. These dosimeters are collected 0 every calendar quarter for readout at the DCPP TLD Lab. The first spent fuel canister was loaded 0 onto the ISFSI pad in June 2009. The small increase in radiation levels at the ISFSI pad prior to spent fuel canister load was due to storage of Radioactive Material (RAM) equipment in seatrains at the ISFSI pad prior to an outage. These seatrains of RAM were removed prior to the first load of 0 spent fuel canisters. In May 2010, DCPP began the second ISFSI loading of spent fuel canisters.

The ambient direct radiation levels within the DCPP plant site boundary near the ISFSI were 0 elevated due to dry cask used fuel storage. An evaluation of direct radiation measurements and member of public occupancy times surrounding the ISFSI indicated all federal criteria for member 0 of public dose limits were conservatively met. No adverse trends were noted at the DCPP inner ring stations due to ISFSI for 2011 as indicated by the previous graphs. It should be noted that the DCPP 0 inner ring TLD results tracked in correlation with normal Environmental TLD outer ring, special interest, and control station fluctuations. It should also be noted that DCPP inner ring TLD results remain within pre-operational ranges.

4.4.2 Airborne Air particulate and radioiodine samples were collected weekly from six indicator stations (MT 1, 0S2, ISI, 7D1, 8S1, and 8S2) in the DCPP environs and one control station (5F1). A total of 364 air particulate filters and 364 iodine cartridges were collected and analyzed as part of the normal REMP. Additional air sampling was conducted from 3-16-11 through 5-4-11 due to the Fukushima Japan nuclear accidents. The data collected for the air sampling program is summarized in Appendix A, Appendix C, and Appendix D..

Gross beta activity was detected in almost every weekly air particulate sample collected from all indicator and control stations. Comparison of the data showed that the mean values of gross beta activities for the indicator stations were consistent with those obtained for the control station and historical trending. Normal background gross beta values range from 2E-3 to 9E-2 pCi/m3. The gross beta activities detected at the air sampling stations are tabulated in Appendix A.

Gamma isotopic analyses were performed on quarterly composites of the air particulate filters from each of the normal REMP stations. The Fukushima event supplemental air samples were analyzed individually at the end of each week. 1-131, 1-132, Te-132, Cs-134, and Cs-137 were detected in REMP and Fukushima event supplemental air sampling in March, April, and May.

These isotopes originated from the Fukushima Japan nuclear accidents and were transported to the west coast of the United States via the jet stream. It should be noted that the 2-12-11 identification of isotopes is due to the quarterly analysis midpoint reference of the first quarter of 2011. Therefore, isotopes captured on normal REMP particulate filters in March (after the Fukushima event) were counted with the other REMP filters from the first quarter and the midpoint date assigned. Appendix A summarizes those results.

A total of 364 normal REMP weekly charcoal cartridges were analyzed for Iodine- 131.

Additional Fukushima event air sampling was also conducted from 3-16-11 through 5-4-11.

Iodine-131 was detected in these charcoal cartridges during these date ranges due to the Fukushima Japan nuclear accidents. These isotopes were transported to the west coast of the United States via the jet stream. The supplemental Fukushima event air sampling was conducted at an increased flow rate (2.0 scfm) and increased volume.

No Iodine- 131 was detected in any of the remaining station charcoal cartridges after 5-4-11.

Appendix A summarizes normal REMP and Fukushima event supplemental air sampling results.

  • ACCIDENTS.

0 On March 11 th, 2011 the Tohoku earthquake (magnitude 9.0 Mw ) and tsunami struck the east coast of Japan. The tsunami associated with this event caused nuclear accidents at the Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Station in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Isotopic releases occurred in Japan and were carried by the jet stream to the west coast of the United States.

The DCPP REMP initiated numerous supplemental sampling to establish Fukushima contributions to DCPP isotopic background concentrations. Supplemental DCPP environmental sampling

  • Capture of rain in March and April for isotopic analysis (see Appendix A & D) 0 Additional air sampling at stations 0S2, 5F1, 7D 1, and 8S 1. This air sampling was conducted with additional air samplers at an increased flow rate (2.0 scfm) and increased 0volumes. The station samples were analyzed each week for gamma isotopic and strontium
  • which is different than normal REMP sampling protocols (see Appendix D) 0 0

0 0

  • Additional milk and vegetation sampling was conducted at station 5F2 (Appendix A & C). 0

" Additional vegetation sampling was conducted outside the possible influence of DCPP within Atascadero, California (20 miles north of DCPP). Fescue grass, milk thistle, miner's lettuce, and acorns were sampled in Atascadero (station ATAS) to establish additional control vegetation samples (see Appendix D).

" Additional meat control sampling was conducted outside the possible influence of DCPP at Hearst Ranch which is located 37 miles north of DCPP near San Simeon, California.

Publically offered Hearst Ranch meat (station HCM) was free range, grass fed beef and provided a control for Blanchard meat (stations BCM, BSM, and BGM). The HCM sampling was provided in Appendix A & C.

  • Sticky pads (1ft by 3ft) were placed at 0S2 and 5F 1 to monitor ground deposition of Fukushima isotopes. These sticky pads were pulled weekly from 3-23-11 until 5-4-11 for isotopic analysis (see Appendix A & D).

Fukushima related isotopes were detected by the DCPP REMP beginning on March 17'h, 2011.

The primary Fukushima related isotopes detected by the DCPP REMP were 1-131, 1-132, Te- 132, Cs-134, and Cs-137.

Airborne isotopic concentrations were detected from March 17kh thru April 20tb.

The DCPP REMP continued to detect cesium within milk, vegetation, and meat throughout the end of 2011.

These supplemental REMP environmental air, rain, vegetation, milk, meat, and sticky pad samples were obtained during 2011. These samples identified detectable concentrations of isotopes that could be related to operation of Diablo Canyon NPS. Given the following facts, the detectable isotopic concentrations are not a result of Diablo Canyon NPS operation:

0

1. The quantities of radioactive airborne effluents from Diablo Canyon NPS during 2011 did not increase significantly compared to year 2010.
2. Prior REMP sample results have not detected the presence of these isotopes at these concentrations over the last ten years of DCPP operation.
3. The isotopes detected correspond to timelines related to the Fukushima Prefecture Japan nuclear accidents and the jet stream deposition of those isotopes to the west coast of the United States.
4. The concentrations detected within the indicator samples were also identified in the normal REMP control samples and supplemental Fukushima event sampling far from Diablo Canyon NPS.
5. These isotopes were also detected by other Government Agencies, Nuclear Power Sites, and Colleges across the United States.

As such, the atypical detection of these radionuclides in both indicator and control samples is credibly attributed to the trans-Pacific transport of airborne releases from Dai-Ichi, Fukushima following the March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake and was not related to the operations of Diablo Canyon NPS. A summary of the sample results are provided in Appendix A, Appendix C, and Appendix D.

  • 5.0 GROUND WATER MONITORING Diablo Canyon is committed to improving management of situations involving inadvertent radiological releases that get into onsite groundwater that is or may be used as a source of drinking water. This commitment reflects the nuclear industry's high standard of public radiation safety and protection of the environment. Trust and confidence on the part of local communities, States, the NRC, and the public is paramount to this commitment.

Studies of the DCPP ISFSI site and a general assessment of sub-regional hydro-geologic conditions indicates that groundwater (subsurface) flow beneath the Diablo Canyon power block site is west toward the Pacific Ocean or northwest toward Diablo Creek. It should be noted that Diablo Creek also discharges into the Pacific Ocean.

5.2 ADDITIONAL GROUNDWATER SAMPLING OVERVIEW:

o

  • Ground water monitoring was reported in accordance with the nuclear industry NEI 07-07 5Groundwater Protection Initiative and the REMP. Concentrations of tritium were detected in three monitoring wells beneath the DCPP power block. This tritium was coming from the rain-0washout of gaseous tritium exiting the plant vent system via an approved discharge route. DCPP has conducted rain-washout studies to document this phenomenon. These monitoring wells consisted of French drain systems that discharge into the associated monitoring well (OW 1, S

S S

S S

S OW2, or DYl). Rain communicated with these French drain systems via building structure to ground interfaces. Once rain water entered the monitoring wells, the water remained stagnant until another rain event caused transport. Subsequent quarterly sampling routinely indicated correlated tritium values due to monitoring well stagnation. DY 1 routinely experienced the highest tritium rain washout concentrations due to its close proximity to the plant vent discharge points. It should be noted that hydro geological studies of the DCPP site indicate that any groundwater (subsurface) flow beneath DCPP would flow toward the Pacific Ocean.

The specific ranges of tritium detected in these monitoring wells for 2011 are as follows:

OW l - Observation Well 01 ( 401 to 710 pCi/L ) of 4 samples collected for tritium analysis.

OW2 - Observation Well 02 ( 1,140 to 1,340 pCi/L ) of 4 samples collected for tritium analysis.

DY1 - Drywell 115 ( 11,800 to 64,800 pCi/L ) of 7 samples collected for tritium analysis.

No other DCPP related isotopes were detected.

Monitoring Well 8S3 was sampled 4 times in 2011. Tritium was not detected in these 4 samples from 8S3. No other DCPP related isotopes were detected.

All other samples of groundwater at 1A2, WW2, and WN2 did not indicate the presence of tritium or any other DCPP related isotopes (only naturally occurring radionuclides were observed).

6.0 OLD STEAM GENERATOR STORAGE FACILITY MONITORING In accordance with the DCPP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), the Old Steam Generator Storage Facility (OSGSF) sumps were inspected quarterly. If water was found in the sump of a vault containing plant equipment, the expectation was to sample that sump water and dispose of the water per plant protocols via an approved discharge pathway.

For reference, the following equipment was placed into this OSGSF on the following dates:

  • 11/6/09 (outage 2R15), one DCPP Unit Two (U-2) Reactor (Rx) Head

& 10/23/10 (outage 1R16), one DCPP Unit One (U-l) Rx Head As of 12/31/11, the OSGSF contains eight old Steam Generators and two old Rx Heads.

S The OSGSF sumps were inspected quarterly by REMP personnel. During the first quarter of 2011, rainwater in-leakage was found within the U-I old Rx Head vault # 28 and U-2 Old Steam Generator vault # 30 sumps.

This sump water had tritium concentrations of 2,000 to 34,000 pCi/Liter due to diffusion of tritium from the stored equipment, into the OSGSF air, and subsequent diffusion from the air into the stagnant sump water. This tritium concentration phenomenon was communicated to the rest of the industry.

The rainwater from the sumps was removed and processed via an approved DCPP radwaste discharge pathway.

Construction repairs were made to the OSGSF to prevent rainwater from entering the OSGSF.

Specific repairs involved OSGSF vertical wall crack repairs and installation of roof gutters around the east and south side of the OSGSF. These repairs have been successful for prevention of rainwater intrusion into the OSGSF. These OSGSF sumps remained dry in 2011.

2. Quality Assurance Programs for Inter-laboratory, Intra-laboratory and Third Party 0 Cross-Check In addition to internal and client audits, our laboratory participates in annual performance 0 evaluation studies conducted by independent providers. We routinely participate in the following types of performance audits:

" Proficiency testing and other inter-laboratory comparisons

" Performance requirements necessary to retain Certifications

" Evaluation of recoveries of certified reference and in-house secondary reference materials using statistical process control data.

  • Evaluation of relative percent difference between measurements through SPC data.

We also participate in a number of proficiency testing programs for federal and state agencies and as required by contracts. It is our policy that no proficiency evaluation samples be analyzed in any special manner. Our annual performance evaluation participation generally includes a combination of studies that support the following:

" US Environmental Protection Agency Discharge Monitoring Report, Quality Assurance Program (DMR-QA). Annual national program sponsored by EPA for laboratories 0 engaged in the analysis of samples associated with the NPDES monitoring program.

Participation is mandatory for all holders of NPDES permits. The permit holder must analyze for all of the parameters listed on the discharge permit. Parameters include 0 general chemistry, metals, BOD/COD, oil and grease, ammonia, nitrates, etc.

  • Department of Energy Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP). A 0 semiannual program developed by DOE in support of DOE contractors performing waste analyses. Participation is required for all laboratories that perform environmental 0 analytical measurements in support of environmental management activities. This program includes radioactive isotopes in water, soil, vegetation and air filters. 0

" ERA's MRAD-Multimedia Radiochemistry Proficiency test program. This program is for labs seeking certification for radionuclides in wastewater and solid waste. The program 0 is conducted in strict compliance with USEPA National Standards for Water Proficiency study.

  • ERA's InterLaB RadCheM Proficiency Testing Program for radiological analyses. This program completes the process of replacing the USEPA EMSL-LV Nuclear Radiation Assessment Division program discontinued in 1998. Laboratories seeking certification 0 for radionuclide analysis in drinking water also use the study. This program is conducted in strict compliance with the USEPA National Standards for Water Proficiency Testing Studies. This program encompasses Uranium by EPA method 0 200.8 (for drinking water certification in Florida/Primary NELAP), gamma emitters, Gross Alpha/Beta, Iodine-1 31, naturally occurring radioactive isotopes, Strontium-89/90, and Tritium.

0 This program encompasses radionuclides in water, soil, milk, naturally occurring radioactive isotopes in soil and air filters.

0GEL procures single-blind performance evaluation samples from Eckert & Ziegler Analytics to verify the analysis of sample matrices processed at GEL. Samples are received on a quarterly basis. GEL's Third-Party Cross-Check Program provides environmental matrices encountered

  • D in a typical nuclear utility REMP. The Third-Party Cross-Check Program is intended to meet or exceed the inter-laboratory comparison program requirements discussed in NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15, revision 1. Once performance evaluation samples have been prepared in SD accordance with the instructions provided by the PT provider, samples are managed and analyzed in the same manner as environmental samples from GEL's clients.
03. Quality Assurance Program for Internal and External Audits During each annual reporting period, at least one internal assessment is conducted in 0accordance with the pre-established schedule from Standard Operating Procedure for the Conduct of Quality Audits, GL-QS-EO01. The annual internal audit plan is reviewed for adequacy and includes the scheduled frequency and scope of quality control actions necessary S to GEL's QA program. Internal audits are conducted at least annually in accordance with a schedule approved by the Quality Systems Director. Supplier audits are contingent upon the categorization of the supplier, and may or may not be conducted prior to the use of a supplier 0 or subcontractor. Type I suppliers and subcontractors, regardless of how they were initially qualified, are re-evaluated at least once every three years.

S Inaddition, prospective customers audit GEL during pre-contract audits. GEL hosts several external audits each year for both our clients and other programs. These programs include environmental monitoring, waste characterization, and radiobioassay. The following list of Sprograms may audit GEL at least annually or up to every three years depending on the 5 program.

  • 2011. Two (2) findings, three (3) observations, and four (4) recommendations resulted from this assessment. In April 2011, each finding was closed and appropriate laboratory staff addressed each observation and recommendation.

0 Laboratories LLC 0 P.O. Box 30712, Charleston, SC 29417 2011 ANNUAL QUALITY ASSURANCE REPORT Page 8 of 58 The Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC) audit was conducted on November 14, 2011 through November 18, 2011. This Duke Energy/NUPIC QA audit was performed for the activities and/or documentation/records associated with GEL Laboratories supplying general chemistry, radiochemistry and bioassay analytical services. This audit found that the GEL Laboratories quality system is well documented and/or implemented, and is acceptable.

With the exception of the six (6) audit findings, all of the requirements of GEL Laboratories Quality Assurance Plan audited were found to be satisfactorily implemented, and therefore, 0 "Continued approval of GEL Laboratories as an Appendix B supplier of general chemistry, radiochemistry and bioassay analytical services is recommended."

0 All responses to the six findings have been adequately addressed by GEL. The Audit Report #

22837-A for Supplier Number 5644 has been posted on the NUPIC website.

4. Performance Evaluation Acceptance Criteria for Environmental Sample Analysis GEL utilized an acceptance protocol based upon two performance models. For those inter-laboratory programs that already have established performance criteria for bias (i.e., MAPEP, and ERA/ELAP), GEL will utilize the criteria for the specific program. For intra-laboratory or third party quality control programs that do not have a specific acceptance criteria (i.e. the Eckert-Ziegler Analytics Environmental Cross-check Program), results will be evaluated in accordance with GEL's internal acceptance criteria.
5. Performance Evaluation Samples Performance Evaluation (PE) results and internal quality control sample results are evaluated in accordance with GEL acceptance criteria. The first criterion concerns bias, which is defined as the deviation of any one result from the known value. The second criterion concerns precision, which deals with the ability of the measurement to be replicated by comparison of an individual result with the mean of all results for a given sample set.

At GEL, we also evaluate our analytical performance on a regular basis through statistical 0 process control (SPC) acceptance criteria. Where feasible, this criterion is applied to both measures of precision and accuracy and is specific to sample matrix. We establish environmental process control limits at least annually.

For Radiochemistry analysis, quality control evaluation is based on static limits rather than those that are statistically derived. Our current process control limits are maintained in GEL's AlphaLIMS. We also measure precision with matrix duplicates and/or matrix spike duplicates.

The upper and lower control limits (UCL and LCL respectively) for precision are plus or minus three times the standard deviation from the mean of a series of relative percent differences.

The static precision criteria for radiochemical analyses are 0 - 20%, for activity levels exceeding 0 the contract required detection limit (CRDL).

6. Quality Control Program for Environmental Sample Analysis GEL's internal QA Program is designed to include QC functions such as instrumentation calibration checks (to insure proper instrument response), blank samples, instrumentation backgrounds, duplicates, as well as overall staff qualification analyses and statistical process controls. Both quality control and qualification analyses samples are used to be as similar as 0

These performance test samples, (or performance evaluation samples) are either actual sample submitted in duplicate in order to evaluate the precision of laboratory measurements, or fortified blank samples, which have been given a known quantity of a radioisotope that is in the interest
  • ! to GEL's clients.

Accuracy (or Bias) is measured through laboratory control samples and/or matrix spikes, as well as surrogates and internal standards. The UCLs and LCLs for accuracy are plus or minus three times the standard deviation from the mean of a series of recoveries. The static limit for radiochemical analyses is 75 - 125%. Specific instructions for out-of-control situations are

  • provided in the applicable analytical SOP.

GEL's Laboratory Control Standard (LCS) is an aliquot of reagent water or other blank matrix to

  • which known quantities of the method analytes are added in the laboratory. The LCS is analyzed exactly like a sample, and its purpose is to determine whether the methodology is in control, and whether the laboratory is capable of making accurate and precise measurements.
  • Some methods may refer to these samples as Laboratory Fortified Blanks (LFB). The requirement for recovery is between 75 and 125% for radiological analyses excluding drinking 00water matrix.

Precision is a data quality indicator of the agreement between measurements of the same property, obtained under similar conditions, and how well they conform to themselves.

0Precision is usually expressed as standard deviation, variance or range in either absolute or relative (percentage) terms.

  • GEL's laboratory duplicate (DUP or LCSD) is an aliquot of a sample taken from the same container and processed in the same manner under identical laboratory conditions. The aliquot is analyzed independently from the parent sample and the results are compared to measure 0precision and accuracy.

If a sample duplicate is analyzed, it will be reported as Relative Percent Difference (RPD). The

  • RPD must be 20 percent or less, if both samples are greater than 5 times the MDC. If both results are less than 5 times MDC, then the RPD must be equal to or less than 100%. If one result is above the MDC and the other is below the MDC, then the RPD can be calculated using the MDC for the result of the one below the MDC. The RPD must be 100% or less. In the situation where both results are above the MDC but one result is greater than 5 times the MDC and the other is less than 5 times the MDC, the RPD must be less than or equal to 20%. If both
  • results are below MDC, then the limits on % RPD are not applicable.

  • 12. 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 0 permanent elimination or prevention of the problem is required.

0GEL includes quality requirements in most analytical standard operating procedures to ensure 9 that data are reported only if the quality control criteria are met or the quality control measures 0that 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.

0 Any employee at GEL can identify and report a nonconformance and request that corrective 0action 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 laboratory's 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.
