SUMMARY

and INDEX I This document provides a detailed report of the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) i Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). During the report period, samples of air, water, shoreline sediment, milk, fish, food crops, feed crops, vegetation, and direct radiation (in the vicinity of the BVPS site) have been measured, analyzed, evaluated, and summarized.

The results of the REMP are intended to verify that BVPS effluent releases, performed in accordance with the BVPS Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) program, do not impact the environment with measurable concentration of radioactive materials and/or levels of radiation that are higher than expected.

Pre-operational REMP (1974 - 1975): i A pre-operational REMP program was performed during the period 1974 through 1975. At that time, samples were collected and analyzed to determine the amount of radioactivity present in 3

the environment prior to BVPS operation. The resulting values are considered a "baseline" to which current sample analyses can be compared. A summary of the pre-operational data is summarized in Table 2-3 of this report.

Operational REMP (1976 - Present): 3 The operational REMP program was initiated during calendar year 1976 and continued through the report period. During the past thirty-one (31) years, radiation and radioactivity in the environment was monitored within a 10-mile radius of the site. A description of the operational REMP program is outlined in Table 2-1 of this report. In general, two (2) types of samples were collected during the report period, and are described as follows:

" Control Samples: These samples are collected from areas that are beyond measurable influence of BVPS operation, and are used as reference data. Normal background radiation levels, or radiation present due to causes other than BVPS operation, can thus be compared I

to the environment surrounding the BVPS site. During the report period, three-hundred-thirteen (313) analyses were performed on samples from the control locations. In addition, eight (8) analyses were completed for TLD's at the control locations. Results of the I

analyses from the control locations are summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.

" Indicator Samples: Indicator samples are collected to determine the radiological impact of BVPS operation in the environment. These samples are collected from various locations near the BVPS site. At a minimum, the samples are collected from areas where the BVPS contribution would indicate the most significant radiological impact. During the report period, one-thousand-three-hundred-ninety-two (1392) analyses were performed on samples collected from more than ninety (90) indicator locations. In addition, five-hundred-three (503) analyses were completed for TLD's at the indicator locations. Results of the analyses from the indicator locations are also summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.

Current analysis results from the indicator samples are compared to both current control sample values and the pre-operational baseline to determine if changes in radioactivity levels are attributable to station operations.

SUMMARY

and INDEX Special Report Requirements:

A Special Report shall be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeds the limits specified in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, Attachment Q Table 3.12-2.

A Special Report shall also be submitted when the results of the following calculation are >1.0.

This calculation is performed when more than one radionuclide is detected in the sampling medium:

Concentration (1) + Concentration (2) + ... > 1.0 Limit Level (1) Limit Level (2)

Summary:

Based on the analytical results of environmental samples, the reporting levels were not exceeded during the report period.

Positive results attributable to the BVPS operation were consistent with station data of authorized radioactive discharges and were within limits permitted by the NRC license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD).

During the report period, the radioactive effluent releases from the BVPS site did not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License Technical Specifications, and/or the ODCM.

The National Academy of Sciences 1990 BEIR Report shows that the typical dose to an individual from background (natural radiation exposure including radon) is an estimated average of 296 mrem per year. During the report period, the average individual population dose (for 4 million people) from BVPS operation was much less than <1 mrem. Therefore, the average individual population dose was not affected from BVPS operation.

Analytical results are divided into the following exposure pathways:

" Airborne Exposure Pathway: The airborne exposure pathway includes airborne radioiodine and airborne particulates. The results during this report period were similar to previous years. There was no notable increase in natural products and no detectable fission products or other radionuclides in the airborne particulate media during the year.

Direct Exposure Pathway: This pathway measures environmental radiation doses by use of Thermo-Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs). The results of TLD processing have indicated a stable trend and compare well with previous years.

SUMMARY

and INDEX I

" Ingestion Exposure Pathway: This pathway includes milk, fish, and food products (leafy vegetable) samples.

For milk samples, Strontium-90 (attributable to past atmospheric weapons testing, was detected at levels similar to the past five years). The gamma spectrometry analyses only indicated positive results for naturally occurring Potassium-40 at average environmental levels. No other radionuclides were identified.

The fish samples indicated below LLD levels in each of the sample analyses.

Vegetation samples indicated naturally occurring Potassium-40 at average environmental levels.

I

" Waterborne Exposure Pathway: This pathway includes drinking water, ground (well) i water, surface (river) water, and river sediment.

Water samples were analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Tritium was identified in some of the water samples, but the values were consistent with tritium at the control location. Gamma spectrometry analysis of water samples indicated no radionuclides above detection capabilities. Iodine- 131 analysis showed several positive analyses, but the values were consistent with Iodine- 131 at the upstream control location.

Sediment samples were collected from upstream of the site, at the discharge point of BVPS liquid effluent releases, and downstream of the site. Analysis of samples indicated naturally occurring radionuclides Potassium-40, Thallium-208, Bismuth-214, Lead-212, Lead-214, Radium-226, and Actinium-228 in all results. The analyses also indicated Cesium-137, but the values were consistent with Cesium-137 at the control location. The Cesium-137 is most likely due from previous nuclear weapons tests. Cobalt-58 and Cobalt-60 were also identified in some of the samples that were obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility. This is not unusual, because the BVPS site discharges Cobalt-58 and Cobalt-60 in liquid waste effluents. However, the activity detected at this sample location is consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases. All liquid effluent releases during the report I

period did not exceed the release concentration limits set forth in the ODCM.

Other Exposure Pathways: In addition to the required samples collected from the above exposure pathways, precipitation, and feed crops were also collected. Results were consistent with previous years and no degrading trends were identified.

The BVPS operational REMP program was followed throughout the report period. The results demonstrate the adequacy of radioactive effluent control at the BVPS, and that plant operation i did not adversely affect the surrounding environment.

It should be noted that the REMP program includes sampling sites in addition to the required i sites set forth in the ODCM. These include five (5) air sampling sites, one (1) surface water site, three (3) ground water sites, three (3) precipitation sites, two (2) sediment sites, one (1) local large dairy, and one (1) milk animal feed site.

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION A. Scope and Objectives of the Program The environmental program consists of environmental monitoring for radioactivity in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley Power Station. Environmental sampling and analyses included air, water, milk, vegetation, river sediments, fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surrounding the site. The results of these media are assessed to determine impacts of the plant operation on the environment.

The Annual Radiological Environmental Report for the Beaver Valley Power Station summarizes the radiological environmental monitoring program conducted by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company during the report period.

B. Description of the Beaver Valley Site The Beaver Valley Power Station is located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the Borough of Shippingport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on a 501 acre tract of land. The site is approximately one mile from Midland, Pennsylvania; five miles from East Liverpool, Ohio; and twenty-five miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Figure 1-1 shows the site location in relation to the principal population centers. Population density in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. The population within a five mile radius of the plant is approximately 15,493 and the only area within the radius of concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, Pennsylvania, with a population of approximately 3,321.

The site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. It extends from the river (elevation 665 feet above sea level) to a ridge along the border south of the Beaver Valley Power Station at an elevation of 1,078 feet. Plant grade level is approximately 735 feet above sea level.

The Beaver Valley Power Station is on the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, at a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is 3.3 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam, and 19.4 miles upstream from New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia border is located 5.2 river miles downstream from the site. The river flow is regulated by a series of dams and reservoirs on the Beaver, Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and their tributaries.

During the report period, the Ohio River flow (as obtained from the Corps of Engineers - Water Resources Engineering) at the Wheeling Dam ranged from 17,600 cubic feet per second (minimum monthly average) to 77,500 cubic feet per second (maximum monthly average). The mean flow during the report period was 42,192 cubic feet per second.

Water temperature of the Ohio River typically varies from 340 Fahrenheit to 75' Fahrenheit. The minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures in July and'or August. Water quality in the Ohio River at the site location is affected primarily by the water quality of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Beaver rivers.

The climate of the area may be classified as humid continental. The National Climate Data Center (http://climnvis.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/cag3/state-map-display.pl) indicates the total annual precipitation during the report period was 47.66 inches, and the average mean temperature during the report period was 50.70 Fahrenheit. The predominant wind direction is typically from the southwest in summer and from the west southwest in winter.

No. of Reactor Coolant Loops 3 3 No. of Steam Generators & Type 3 - Vertical 3 - Vertical I

Steam Used by Main Turbine Saturated Saturated The units utilize two separate systems (primary and secondary) for transferring heat from the source (the reactor) to the receiving component (turbine-generator). Because the two systems are isolated I

from each other, primary and secondary waters do not mix; therefore, radioactivity in the primary system water is normally isolated from the secondary system. Reactor coolant in the primary system is pumped through the reactor core and steam generators by means of reactor coolant pumps.

I Heat is given up from the primary system to the secondary system in the steam generators, where steam is formed and delivered to the main unit turbine, which drives the electrical generator. The steam is condensed after passing through the turbine, and returned to the steam generators to begin I

another steam/water cycle.

SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I

2. Summary of Results I All results of this monitoring program are summarized in Table 2-2. This table is prepared in the format specified by the NRC via the Branch Technical Position in NUREG-1301, and in accordance with Beaver Valley Power Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. Summaries of results of analysis of each media are discussed in Sections 2-B through 2-H and an assessment of radiation doses are given in Section 2-1. Table 2-3 summarizes Beaver Valley Power Station pre-operational ranges for the various sampling media during the years 1974 and 1975.

Comparisons of pre-operational data with operational data indicate the ranges of values are generally in good agreement for both periods of time.

Activity detected was attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides, BVPS effluents, previous nuclear weapons tests or to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD).

I The conclusion from all program data is that the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station has resulted in no significant changes to the environment.

3. Quality Control Program The Quality Control Program implemented by the Beaver Valley Power Station to assure reliable performance by the contractor and the supporting QC data are presented and discussed in Section 4 of this report.

4. Program Changes There were no changes of significance to the sampling program during the report period. The only change of note was relocation of the soil sample Control location. Specifically, due to construction at the previous location, it was moved to the Collier Way Water Tower, which is also the current Control location for the air particulate sampler. Moving the Control location for soil samples does not adversely impact the accuracy or reliability of sample collection.

2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I B. Air Monitorin,

1. Characterization of Air and Meteorology The air in the vicinity of the site contains pollutants typical for an industrial area. Air flow is i generally from the southwest in summer and from the northwest in the winter.

2. Air Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques 3

a. Program The air is sampled for gaseous radioiodine and radioactive particulates at each of ten (10) offsite air sampling stations. The locations of these stations are listed in Table 2-1 and shown on a map in Figure 2-1.

Samples are collected at each of these stations by continuously drawing two cubic feet per minute of atmosphere air through a glass fiber filter paper and a charcoal cartridge. The glass fiber filter paper is used for collection of airborne particulates, while the charcoal cartridge is used for collection of radioiodine. Samples are collected for analysis on a weekly basis. 3 The charcoal cartridge is used in the weekly analysis of airborne Iodine- 131. The glass fiber filter papers are analyzed each week for gross beta, then composited by station each quarter for gamma spectrometry analysis. In order to reduce interference from short-lived I naturally occurring radioactivity (e.g.; radon and thoron), the glass fiber filter papers are decayed prior to performing beta analysis in a low background counting system.

b. Procedures Gross Beta Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by placing the glass fiber filter paper from the weekly air sample in a 2 inch planchet and analyzing it in a low background, gas flow proportional counter.

Gamma Emitter Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by stacking all of the glass i fiber filter papers collected from each monitoring station during the quarter and scanning this composite on a high resolution germanium gamma spectrometer. 3 Iodine-131 Analysis of Charcoal Cartridge: Analysis is performed by a gamma scan of each charcoal cartridge. 3 3

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of data is presented in Table 2-2.

a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates Gross Beta: A total of five-hundred-twenty (520) weekly samples from ten (10) locations were analyzed for gross beta. Results were comparable to previous years. Figure 2-2 indicates the weekly average concentration of gross beta in air particulates.

Gamma Spectrometry: The weekly air particulate samples were composited into forty (40) quarterly samples which were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Naturally occurring Beryllium-7 was identified in thirty-six of thirty-six (36 of 36) indicator samples, and four of four (4 of 4) control samples. No other radionuclides were detected. A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-2.

Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required airborne particulate sampling and analysis schedule during the report period.

Summary: Based on the analytical results, the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station did not contribute any measurable increase in air particulate radioactivity during the report period.

b. Airborne Radioiodine Iodine- 131: A total of five-hundred-twenty (520) weekly charcoal filter samples were analyzed for Iodine- 131. No detectable concentrations were present at any locations.

Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required airborne radioiodine sampling and analysis schedule during the report period.

Summar: Based on analytical results, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in airborne radioiodine during the report period.

1. Characterization of Stream Sediments and Soils The stream sediments consist largely of sand and silt. Soil samples may vary from sand and silt I to a heavy clay with variable amounts of organic material.

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I

a. Program River bottom sediments were collected semi-annually above the Montgomery Dam, in the vicinities of the Beaver Valley discharge and above the New Cumberland Dam. A Ponar or Eckman dredge is used to collect the sample. The sampling locations are also listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3.

Soil samples are collected every three years. They were collected at each often (10) locations during 2006 and are not due to be collected again until 2009. At each location, twelve (12) core samples (3" diameter by 2" deep) are gathered at prescribed points on a 10 foot radius circle. Each location is permanently marked with reference pins. Each set of samples is systematically selected by moving along the radius in such a manner as to assure representative undisturbed samples. Sampling locations are listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3.

Bottom sediments and soils are analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides.

b. Analytical Procedures I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Sediment or Soil: Analysis is performed in a 300 ml plastic bottle, which is analyzed by gamma spectrometry.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.

a. Sediment Gamma Spectrometry: A total of six (6) sediment samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring Potassium-40, Thalium-208, Lead-212, Lead-214, Bismuth-214, Ra-226 and Ac-228, was detected in four of four (4 of

4) indicator samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples.

Cesium-137: This radionuclide was identified in three of four (3 of 4) indicator samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples. The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.08 to 0.09 pico Curie / gram), and less than the pre-operational level of 0.4 pico Curie / gram. Also, SINCE Cesium-137 was identified at the indicator locations (downstream) and at the control location (upstream), THEN it was not due to plant effluent releases and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons tests.

Cobalt-58: Radionuclide Cobalt-58 was identified in one of four (1 of 4) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples that indicated Cobalt-58 were obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility. The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 022 to 0.22 pico Curie / gram), even though this data is greater than the pre-operational level of 0.098 pico Curie / gram.

Cobalt-60: Radionuclide Cobalt-60 was identified in one of four (1 of 4) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples that indicated Cobalt-60 were obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility. The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.51 to 0.51 pico Curie / gram), even though this data is slightly greater than the pre-operational level of 0.4 pico Curie / gram Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required sediment sampling and analysis schedule during the report period.

Summary: The identification of Cobalt-58 and Cobalt-60 at the shore line of the main outfall facility is not unusual, because the plant discharges these radionuclides in liquid waste effluents. The analyses are consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

b. Soil Gamma Spectrometr: A total often (10) soil samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Naturally occurring Potassium-40, Thalium-208, Lead-212, Lead-214, Bismuth-214, Ra-226 and Ac-228, was detected in nine of nine (9 of 9) indicator samples and one of one (1 of 1) control samples.

Cesium- 137: This radionuclide was identified in nine of nine (9 of 9) indicator samples and one of one (1 of 1) control samples. The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.13 to 0.27 pico Curie / gram), and less than the pre-operational level of 1.2 pico Curie / gram.

c. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required soil sampling and analysis schedule during the report period. However, the sample site for the Control location was re-located during the report period. Specifically, due to construction at the previous location, the sample site was moved to the Collier Way Water Tower, which is also the current Control location for the air particulate sampler.

Moving the Control location for soil samples does not adversely impact the accuracy or reliability of sample collection.

d. Summary: SINCE Cesium-137 was identified at the indicator locations and at the control location, THEN it was not due to plant effluent releases, and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons tests.

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

b. Procedures Gamma Emitter Analysis of Feed: Analysis is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system. A high resolution germanium detector is utilized with this system. Food samples are loaded into tare weight 300 or 150 ml plastic bottles or 1-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning for gamma emitters.

Iodine-131 Analysis of Food Crops: Analysis is performed by radiochemistry. A stable iodide carrier is added to a chopped sample, which is then leached with a sodium hydroxide solution, evaporated to dryness and fused in a muffle furnace. The melt is dissolved in water, filtered and treated with sodium hypochlorite. The iodate is then reduced to iodine with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and is extracted into toluene. It is then back-extracted as iodide into sodium bisulfite solution and is precipitated as palladium iodide. The precipitate is weighed for chemical yield and is mounted on a nylon planchet for low level beta counting.

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM E. Monitoring of Local Cow and Goat Milk

1. Description - Milch Animal Locations Samples of fresh milk are obtained from milch animals at locations and frequencies noted in Table 2-1. The milk is analyzed for its radioiodine content, gamma emitters, strontium-89 and strontium-90.

Detailed field surveys are performed during the grazing season to locate and enumerate milch animals within a five (5) mile radius of the site. Survey data for the most recent survey conducted is shown in Section 3, Land Use Census.

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques

a. Program Cow milk was collected from the two (2) reference dairy farms within a 10-mile radius of the BVPS. These milk samples were obtained at the Searight Dairy Farm (2.097 miles SSW) and the Brunton Dairy Farm (6.158 miles SE).

Cow milk and goat milk were collected from three (3) other dairy farms within a 10-mile radius of the BVPS site. These milk samples were obtained at the Moore Farm (2.120 miles SW), the Collins Dairy Farm (3.547 miles SE) and the Halstead Dairy Farm (5.097 miles SSW), and were selected based on milch animal surveys and evaluations of meteorological data (i.e.; deposition parameters). They were added to the sampling program to ensure the highest potential milk pathway for radioiodine uptake is evaluated. The dairies are subject to change based upon availability of milk or when more recent data (milch animal census, and/or change in meteorological conditions) indicate other locations are more appropriate.

Cow milk was also collected from the one (1) control location dairy farm outside of the 10-mile radius. These milk samples were obtained at the Windsheimer Dairy Farm (10.476 miles SSW).

The milk sample from the Searight Dairy Farm is collected and analyzed weekly for Iodine-131 using a method that ensures a high sensitivity. Samples from each of the other selected dairies are collected monthly when cows are indoors, and bi-weekly when cows are grazing. The monthly and/or bi-weekly sample is analyzed for Strontium-89, Strontium-90, principle gamma emitters (including Cesium-137 by high resolution germanium gamma spectrometry), and Iodine-131 high sensitivity analysis The location of each is shown in Figure 2-8 and described below.

b. Procedure Iodine-131 Analysis of Milk: The milk samples are chemically prepared, and then analyzed with a low-level beta counting system.

Gamma Emitter Analysis of Milk: This is determined by gamma spectrometry analysis of a I liter Marinelli container of milk.

Strontium-90 Analysis of Milk: The milk samples are prepared by adding a stable strontium carrier and evaporating to dryness, then ashing in a muffle furnace, followed by precipitating phosphates. Strontium is purified in all samples by the Argonne method using 3 grams of extraction material in a chromatographic column. Stable yttrium carrier is added and the sample is allowed to stand for a minimum of 5 days for the in-growth of yttrium-90 (Y-90). Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide, is dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is counted in a low-level beta counter to infer Strontium-90 activity.

Strontium-89 Analysis of Milk: The Strontium-89 activity is determined by precipitating strontium carbonate (SrCO 3) from the sample after yttrium separation.

This precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchet, and is covered with an 80 mg/cm2 aluminum absorber for low level beta counting. Chemical yields of strontium and yttrium are determined by gravimetric means.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-9.

a. Strontium-89: A total of one-hundred-eight (108) milk samples were analyzed for Strontium-89 during the report period. Strontium-89 was not detected in any of the eighty seven (87) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the twenty-one (21) control samples.

b. Strontium-90: A total of one-hundred-eight (108) milk samples were analyzed for Strontium-90 during the report period. Strontium-90 was detected in eighty-two of eighty-seven (82 of 87) indicator samples and twenty-one of twenty-one (21 of 21) control samples. The levels detected were attributable to previous nuclear weapons tests and are within the normally expected range.

c. Gamma Spectrometry: A total of one one-hundred-eight (108) milk samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring Potassium-40 was present in eighty-seven of eighty-seven (87 of 87) indicator samples and twenty-one of twenty-one (21 of 21) control samples. No other gamma-emitting radionuclides were identified during analysis.

2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

d. Iodine- 131: A total of one-hundred-thirty-nine (139) milk samples were analyzed for I Iodine- 131 during the report period. Iodine- 13 1 was not detected in any of the one-hundred-eighteen (118) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the twenty one (21) control samples. All analyses were less than the 0.5 pico Curie / liter LLD value.

e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis: The Bi-weekly Doe Goat milk sampling was interrupted during the report period. Specifically, the Doe Goats ceased production of milk during the winter months but was re-established in the spring and summer months (after breeding was completed). Although the Doe Goats could not be sampled during that period, the minimum Bi-weekly milk sampling requirements were still met. SINCE only four (4) Bi-weekly Dairy Cow locations (or Doe Goat locations) are required to be sampled, THEN the minimum requirements were met with the four (4) Dairy Cow milk samples. This condition and Associated Corrective Actions are documented in Condition Report No. CR06-01028-01, CR06-9984 and SAP Order 200197646-0170.

f. Summary: Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational levels, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in radioactivity in the milk in the vicinity of the site during the report period.

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring

1. Description of Regional Background Radiation and Sources The terrain in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley Power Station generally consists of rough hills with altitude variations of 300-400 feet. Most of the land is wooded.

The principal geologic features of the region are nearly flat-laying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania Age. Beds of limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits partially cover the older sedimentary deposits in the northwest. Most of the region is underlain by shale, sandstone, and some coal beds of the Conemaugh Formation. Outcrops of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Allegheny Formation exist within the Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams.

Based on surveys reported in previous annual reports, exposure rates ranged from 6-12 pR/hr.

2. Locations and Analytical Procedures Ambient external radiation levels around the site were measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs).

During the report period, there were a total of sixty-three (63) environmental TLD locations.

This is comprised of forty-four (44) offsite locations, along with nineteen (19) fence perimeter locations. The offsite TLD locations are plotted on Figure 2-10, but the fence perimeter locations are not plotted due to the large scale of the figure.

The TLDs were annealed at the Contractor Central Laboratory shortly before placing the TLDs in their field locations. The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the Central Laboratory, the field location, and the Central Laboratory was corrected by transit controls maintained in lead shields at both the Central Laboratory and the field office. All dosimeters were exposed in the field for a calendar quarter, in a specific holder that contains two (2) TLDs at each location.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the TLD results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-11.

TLD Analysis: During the report period, the average quarterly external exposure rate (as measured from TLD) was 18.1 mR at the sixty-three (63) indicator locations, and 19.4 mR at the Control location. This external exposure rate is comparable to previous years. As expected, there was some variation in external exposure rate among locations and seasons.

2-44

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 3

2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I

Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required sampling schedule (i.e.; TLD placement) and analysis schedule (i.e.; TLD processing) during the report period.

Summary: The quarterly TLD external exposure rates are comparable to those of previous years. There was no evidence of anomalies that could be attributed to the operation of 3

BVPS. It should also be noted that the average external exposure rate at the indicator locations was less than average external exposure rate at the Control location. Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational levels, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in external exposure in the vicinity of the site during the report period. The TLD exposure rates also confirm that changes from natural I radiation levels, if any, are negligible.

1. Description During the report period, fish collected for the radiological monitoring program included carp, channel catfish, brown bullhead, freshwater drum and red horse.

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques

a. Program Fish samples are collected semi-annually in the New Cumberland pool of the Ohio River at the Beaver Valley effluent discharge point and upstream of the Montgomery Dam.

1. Description of Water Sources The Ohio River is the main body of water in the area. It is used by the Beaver Valley Power Station for plant make-up, for the cooling tower and for receiving plant liquid effluents.

Ohio River water is a source of water for some towns both upstream and downstream of the Beaver Valley Power Station site. It is used by several municipalities and industries downstream of the site. The nearest user of the Ohio River as a potable water source is Midland Borough Municipal Water Authority. The intake of the treatment plant is approximately 1.5 miles downstream and on the opposite side of the river. The next downstream user is East Liverpool, Ohio which is approximately 6 miles downstream. The heavy industries in Midland, as well as others downstream use river water for cooling purposes.

Groundwater occurs in large volumes in the gravel terraces which lie along the river, and diminishes considerably in the bedrock underlying the site. Normal well yields in the bedrock are less than 10 gallons per minute (gpm) with occasional wells yielding up to 60 gpm.

In general, the BVPS site experiences cool winters and moderately warm summers with ample annual precipitation evenly distributed throughout the year. The National Climate Data Center (http://climvis.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/cag3/state-map-display.pl) indicates the total annual precipitation during the report period was 47.66 inches.

2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques

a. Surface (Raw River) Water The sampling program of river water includes three (3) sampling points along the Ohio River. Raw water samples are collected daily at the East Liverpool (Ohio) Water Treatment Plant [River Mile 41.2], and the made into weekly composite sample. One automatic river water sampler is located at the ATI-Allegheny Ludlam (formerly J&L Steel) river water intake [River Mile 36.2]. The automatic sampler takes a 20-40 ml sample every 15 minutes and samples are collected on a weekly basis. A weekly grab sample is taken upstream of the Montgomery Dam [River Mile 29.6]. The weekly grab sample and automatic water sample are then made into a monthly composite sample from each location. In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared for each sample point.

The weekly grab samples upstream of the Montgomery Dam are analyzed for bdine-131.

The monthly composites are analyzed for gamma emitters. The quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.

Locations of each sample point are shown in Figure 2-14.

2-52

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

b. Drinking Water (Public Supplies)

Drinking water (i.e.; treated water) is collected at both the Midland, PA and East Liverpool, OH Water Treating Plants. An automatic sampler at each location collects 20-40 ml every 20 minutes, and then made into a weekly composite sample. The weekly composite sample from each location is analyzed for Iodine- 131.

Monthly composites are made from the weekly samples, and are analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium. Locations of each sample point are shown in Figure 2-14.

c. Groundwater Semi-annual grab samples were collected from three (3) locations within four (4) miles of the site (see Figure 2-14). These locations are:

One (1) well in Shippingport, PA One (1) well in Hookstown, PA One (1) well in Georgetown, PA Each ground water sample is analyzed for tritium and by gamma spectrcnetry.

d. Precipitation Precipitation is collected at Shippingport, PA, East Liverpool, OH, and Weirton, WV.

Precipitation, when available, is collected each week and then made into quarterly composite samples. The quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium and gamma emitters. Locations of each sample point are shown in Figure 2-14.

e. Procedures Gamma Analysis of Groundwater: The analysis is performed on water samples by placing one liter of the sample into a Marinelli container and analyzing the sample on a high resolution germanium gamma spectrometry system.

Tritium Analysis of Groundwater: The tritium is determined in water samples by liquid scintillation analysis.

Iodine-131 Analysis of Groundwater: The sample is chemically prepared, and analyzed with a low-level beta counting system.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results of water samples (surface water, drinking water, ground water and precipitation) during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-15.

a. Surface Water Tritium: A total of twelve (12) surface water samples were analyzed for Hydrogen-3 (Tritium) during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the four (4) control samples.

Gamma Spectrometry: A total of thirty-six (36) surface water samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in any of the twenty-four (24) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the twelve (12) control samples.

Iodine-1 31: A total of fifty-two (52) surface water control samples were analyzed for Iodine-131 using radiochemical methods during the report period. Iodinel31 was detected in thirty-seven of fifty-two (37 of 52) weekly control samples, of which two (2) analyses exceeded the reporting level of 2 pico Curie / liter. The results were similar to previous years, (current years range = 0.3 to 2.1 pico Curie / liter). The positive results were detected at the Control location, which is five (5) miles upstream (not influenced by BVPS operation). Identification of Iodine- 131 during the report period was most likely due to medical diagnostic and treatment procedures. (

Reference:

CR07-12344 and SAP Order 200197646-0190).

b. Drinking Water Tritium: A total of twelve (12) drinking water samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the four (4) control samples.

Gamma Spectrometry: A total of thirty-six (36) drinking water samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides Aere not detected in any of the twenty-four (24) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the twelve (12) control samples.

Iodine-13 1: A total of one hundred-fifty-six (154) drinking water samples were analyzed for Iodine-131 (using radiochemical methods) during the report period.

Iodine- 131 was detected in forty-nine of one-hundred-two (49 of 102) indicator samples and thirty-seven of fifty-two (37 of 52) control samples. SINCE all of the positive results at the downstream location did not exceed the positive results from the upstream surface water Control location, THEN the positive results were not influenced by BVPS operation, and were most likely due to medical diagnostic and treatment procedures.

2-54

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I

c. Groundwater 3 Tritium: A total of six (6) groundwater samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the four (4) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the two (2) control samples.

Gamma Spectrometry: A total of six (6) groundwater samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in any of the (4) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the two (2) control I

samples.

d. Precipitation Tritium: A total of twelve (12) precipitation samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was detected in three of eight (3 of 8) indicator samples, but was not detected in any of the four (4) control samples. The positive results are consistent with previous years data (current range = 197 - 286 pico Curie / liter, with an LLD of 200 pico Curie / liter), which is less than the pre-operational level of 300 pico I Curie / liter. Identification of Tritium at this location is not unusual, because the plant discharges tritium in gaseous waste effluents. Specifically, the tritium activity is consistent with discharge data of authorized gaseous effluent releases. All gaseous effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

Gamma Spectrometry: A total of twelve (12) precipitation samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides werenot detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the four (4) control samples.

I

e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: During November 2006, I the automatic drinking water sampling station at Midland, PA (Site No. 4) was found to have an unusually low volume in the collection vessel on two (2) separate occasions.

The sampling apparatus was repaired, but SINCE the sampling volume was not adequate for the period October 31, 2006 thru November 14, 2006, THEN the analyses from these samples were not considered valid. Therefore, the Iodine-131 analysis data for this period was adjusted to represent an average of the previous week and the following week analysis. This condition and associated Corrective Actions are described in Condition Report CR06-9951, and SAP Order 200197646-0160.

f. Summary: Data from the water sample analyses demonstrate that BVPS did not I contribute a significant increase of radioactivity in the local river, in the drinking water, in the well water, or in the precipitation. The analytical results confirm that the station assessments, prior to authorizing radioactive discharges, are adequate and that the environmental monitoring program is sufficiently sensitive.

I. Estimates of Radiation Dose to Man

1. Pathways to Man - Calculational Models i The radiation doses to man as a result of Beaver Valley operations were calculated for both gaseous and liquid effluent pathways using computer codes for the ARERAS/MIDAS computer system. These computer codes are equivalent to NRC I

computer codes XOQDOQ2, GASPAR, and LADTAP. Dose factors listed in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual are used to calculate doses from radioactive noble gases in discharge plumes. Beaver Valley effluent data, based on sample analysis were i

used as the radionuclide activity input.

All liquid and gaseous effluent radionuclides listed in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report were input as source terms to the computer codes.

All batch and continuous gaseous effluent releases were included in the dose assessment calculations. The release activities are based on laboratory analysis.

Meteorological data collected by the Beaver Valley Power Station Meteorology System was also used as input to the computer codes. Except when more recent or specific data was available, the usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements or Regulatory Guide 1.109. The airborne effluent pathways evaluated provided population doses out to 50 miles.

All radioactive liquid effluents are released by batch mode after analysis by gamma spectrometry. Each batch is diluted by cooling tower blowdown water prior to discharge into the Ohio River via the main outfall (River Mile 35.0). The actual data I

from these analyses are tabulated and used as the radionuclide source term input to the computer code. Except when more recent or specific data was available, the usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements or Regulatory I

Guide 1.109. The liquid effluent pathways evaluated provided population doses out to 50 miles. I

2. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man - Liquid Effluent Releases During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population (-4 million people) within 50 miles of the plant is presented in Table 2-4 for BVPS liquid effluent releases. Also shown in this table is a comparison to natural radiation exposure.

3. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man - Gaseous Effluent Releases During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population (-4 million i people) within 50 miles of the plant is presented in Table 2-5 for BVPS airborne effluent releases. Also shown in this table is a comparison to natural radiation exposure. The doses include the contribution of all pathways.

2-61

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2006 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

4. Conclusions Based upon the estimated dose to individuals from the natural background radiation exposure in Tables 2-4 and 2-5, the incremental increase in total body dose to the 50-mile population (approximately 4 million people), from the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit 1 and 2, is less than 0.00006% of the annual background dose.

The calculated doses to the public from the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station -

Unit 1 and 2, are below BVPS annual limits and resulted in only a small incremental dose to that which area residents already received as a result of natural background.

The doses constituted no meaningful risk to the public.

Split Sample Program (Inter-Laboratory Comparison, Part I of 2): BVPS participates in a split sample program with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) in support of their nuclear power plant monitoring program.

BVPS provided split samples to PADEP throughout the report period. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of; milk (1), surface water (3), sediment (1), fish (1), and food crops (2).

" PADEP has co-located continuous air particulate & air iodine sample stations with four (4) of the BVPS locations.

" PADEP has co-located TLDs with twenty-four (24) of the BVPS TLDs.

B. Spike Sample Program (Inter-Laboratory Comparison, Part 2 of 2): BVPS participates in a spike sample program with an Independent Laboratory. This program is used to independently verify sample analyses performed by the BVPS Contractor Laboratory.

Acceptance Criteria 1: The NRC criteria listed in NRC Inspection Procedure 84750, 12/4/90, Inspection Guidance 84750-03 is used as acceptance criteria for comparisons of results of spiked samples between the Contractor Lab and the Independent Lab. These comparisons are performed by dividing the comparison standard (Independent Lab result) by its associated uncertainty to obtain the resolution. The comparison standard value is multiplied by the ratio values obtained from the following table to find the acceptance band for the result to be compared. However, in such cases where the counting precision of the standard yields a resolution of less than 4, a valid comparison is not practical, and therefore, not performed.
