1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, during the period January - December, 2016.
This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the Plant on its surroundings.
Tabulations of the individual analyses made during the year are included in Part II of this report.
The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is a boiling water reactor with a nominal generating capacity of 681 MWe. It is located on the Mississippi River in Wright County, Minnesota, owned by Xcel Energy Corporation and operated by Northern States Power Co. Minnesota. Initial criticality was achieved on December 10, 1970. Full power was achieved March 5, 1971 and commercial operation began on June 30, 1971.

SUMMARY
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) is described; this program is required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) as well as Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
Results for the year 2016 are summarized and discussed.
Program findings show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

3.1 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP) 3.2 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is to assess the impact of the Plant on its environment. For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radioactive content. In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs).
Sources of environmental radiation include the following:
(1) Natural background radiation arising from cosmic rays and primordial radionuclides; (2) Fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations; (3) Releases from nuclear power plants; (4) Industrial and medical radioactive waste; and (5) Fallout from nuclear accidents.
In interpreting the data, effects due to the Plant must be distinguished from those due to other sources.
A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the Monticello Plant which is based on the indicator-control concept. Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant, upwind, or upstream). A plant effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location. The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources.
An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in environmental samples collected from the Plant site. The Plants monitoring program includes analyses for tritium and iodine-131. Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified: zirconium-95, cesium-137, cerium-144, beryllium-7, and potassium-40. The first three gamma-emitting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that produced by a nuclear detonation.
Each of the three isotopes is produced in roughly equivalent amounts by a reactor: each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission products 10 days after reactor shutdown. On the other hand, 10 days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1:0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963). Beryllium-7 is of cosmogenic origin and potassium-40 is a naturally-occurring isotope. They were chosen as calibration monitors and should not be considered as radiological impact indicators. The other group quantified consists of niobium-95, ruthenium-103 and -106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141. These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing. Nuclides of the final group, manganese-54, iron-59, cobalt-58 and -60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products. They are typical components of a nuclear power plants effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.
Other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation are employed in interpreting the data. Current radiation levels are compared with previous levels, including those measured before the plant became operational. Results of the Plants Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world. Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.3 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Plant is summarized in Table 5.1 and briefly reviewed below. Table 5.2 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.1 and specifies for each location its type (indicator or control) and its distance, direction, and sector relative to the plant site. To assure that sampling is carried out in a reproducible manner, detailed sampling procedures have been prescribed (Monticello Generating Plant REMP Surveillances, Current Revision). Maps of sampling locations are included in Appendix D.
To monitor the air environment, airborne particulates are collected on membrane filters by continuous pumping at five locations. Also, airborne iodine is collected by continuous pumping through charcoal filters at all of these locations. Both types of filters are changed and counted weekly. Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-131.
Quarterly composites of particulate filters from each location are determined by gamma spectroscopy. One of the five locations is a control (M-1), and four are indicators (M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5). One of the indicators is located in the geographical sector expected to be most susceptible to any atmospheric emissions from the Plant (highest D/Q sector).
Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at forty locations, using CaSO4:Dy dosimeters with four sensitive areas at each location: fourteen in an inner ring in the general area of the site boundary, sixteen in the outer ring within 4-5 mile radius, six at special interest locations and four control locations, outside a 10 mile radius from the plant. They are replaced and measured quarterly.
As substitute for dairy sampling, vegetation is collected from locations M-41, M-42, and M-43 (C).
The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and other gamma emitting isotopes.
Corn and potatoes are collected annually if fields are irrigated by water in which liquid radioactive effluent has been discharged. Analysis is done for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Well water is monitored by quarterly collections from three off-site locations (one control and two indicators) and one on-site Plant well.
Quarterly collections of storm water runoff were added to monitor another possible pathway to the groundwater aquifer. The samples are also analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes.
River water is collected weekly at two locations, one upstream of the plant and one downstream.
Monthly composites are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.
Drinking water is collected weekly from the City of Minneapolis water supply, which is taken from the Mississippi River downstream of the Plant. Monthly composites are analyzed for gross beta, iodine-131, and gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.
The aquatic environment is also monitored by semi-annual upstream and downstream collections of fish, invertebrates, and shoreline sediments. Shoreline sediment is also collected from one downstream recreational location. All samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

M-001, Water was frozen from 12/14/16 through 12/28/16.
(4) Drinking Water:
M-14, weekly sample from 6/29/16 was lost and not included in the June monthly composite sample.
(5) Bottom Organisms:
M-8 and M-9 were not collected in 2016 due to dangerous river conditions. Unavailability due to cold water temperature once the river was at a safe level.
(6) Shoreline Sediment:
M-8, M-9 and M-15 were not collected in the first half of the year due to dangerous river conditions.
Deviations from the program are summarized in Table 5.3.
3.5 Program Modifications No significant modifications were made to the MNGP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program in 2016.
3.6 Laboratory Procedures The iodine-131 analyses in drinking water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure which involves separation of the iodine using an ion-exchange method and solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.
Gamma-spectroscopic analyses are performed using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors.
Levels of iodine-131 in natural vegetation and concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Tritium concentrations are determined by liquid scintillation.
Analytical Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.
Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984.
Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained. Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (ATI Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2016). The QA Program includes participation in Interlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs. Results obtained in the crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A.
3.7 Land Use Census In accordance with the MNGP Chemistry Manual, Procedure I.05.41, Annual Land Use Census and Critical Receptor Identification, a land use census shall be conducted and shall identify the location of the nearest milk animal, meat animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 ft2 producing fresh leafy vegetables, in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a 5 mile radius. The census shall also identify the locations of all milk animals, meat animals and all gardens of greater than 500 ft2 producing broad leaf vegetation in each of the meteorological sectors within a distance of three miles. This census shall be conducted at least once per year between the dates of May 1 and October 31. New locations shall be added to the radiation environmental monitoring program within 30 days and sampling locations having lower calculated doses or a lower dose commitment may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which the land use census was conducted.
The 2016 land use census was conducted between September 12 and September 20, 2016. The survey was performed using door-to-door surveys and visual observations while driving; additionally, inputs from the 2015 field data forms and Homeland Security Emergency Management Monticello Basemap were used in determining changes in land use. All locations identified were mapped on Delorme Street Atlas using a hand-held GPS unit.
There was one sector in which the highest D/Q values for gardens increased by greater than 20%. The change in this sector is due to a closer residence planting a garden in 2016 where there was no garden in 2015. The highest D/Q garden for 2016 did not change from the 2015 highest D/Q garden. There were five sectors where the highest D/Q values for Meat animals increased by greater than 20%. The changes in the sectors are due to a closer residence raising animals for meat consumption in the affected sectors. The highest D/Q meat animal changed in the 2016 census. There were no sectors were the highest D/Q values for the nearest residence increased by more than 20%. There currently are no milking animals within a five mile radius of the plant. Vegetation sampling is currently being performed in lieu of milk sampling. There are no crops being irrigated from the Mississippi River.
The Critical Receptor for 2016 remained the same as 2015 and 2014 (Child, Thyroid located 1.15 mi SSE with exposure to Ground, Plume, Inhalation and Vegetable Pathways). Details of the land use census are contained in the Land Use Census and Critical Receptor Report, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.

4.1 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All of the scheduled collections and analyses were made except those listed in Table 5.3.
All results are summarized in Table 5.4 in a format recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Regulatory Guide 4.8. For each type of analysis of each sampled medium, this table lists the mean and range for all indicator locations and for all control locations. The locations with the highest mean and range are also shown.
4.2 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents involving significant release to the environment at nuclear reactor facilities in 2016. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurred March 11, 2011.
There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 2016. The last reported test was conducted on October 16, 1980 by the Peoples Republic of China.
4.3 Summary of Preoperational Data The following constitutes a summary of preoperational studies conducted at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant during the years 1968 to 1970, to determine background levels expected in the environment, and provided, where applicable, as a means for comparison with present day levels. Strict comparisons, however, are difficult to make, since background levels of radiation were much higher in these years due to radioactive fallout from the atmosphere. Gross 3 3 beta measurements in fallout averaged 20,600 pCi/m in 1969 and 12,000 pCi/m in 1970. These levels are reflected throughout the various media tested.
In the air environment, ambient gamma radiation (TLDs) averaged 9.1 mRem/4 weeks during preoperational studies (1970). Gross beta in air particulates in 1969 and 1970 averaged 0.20 3 3 pCi/m . Present day levels have stabilized at around 0.025 pCi/m . Airborne radioiodine remained 3
below detection levels of 0.03 pCi/m In the terrestrial environment of 1968 to 1970, milk, agricultural crops, and soil were monitored. In milk samples, low levels of Cs-137 and Sr-90 were detected. Cs-137 levels averaged 16.7 pCi/L.
Soybean crop measurements in 1969 averaged 35.5 pCi/g for gross beta and 0.3 pCi/g for Cs-137. Gross beta measured in soil averaged 51.7 pCi/g . Present day measurements for cesium-137 are below detection levels in milk and agricultural crops.
The aqueous environment was monitored by testing of river water, bottom sediments, fish, aquatic vegetation, and periphyton. Specific location comparison of drinking, river, and well water concentrations for tritium and gross beta are not possible. However, tritium background levels, measured at seven separate locations from 1968 to 1970, averaged 970 pCi/L. Present day environmental samples measure below detection levels. Values for gross beta, measured from 1968 to 1970, averaged 9.8 pCi/L in upstream and downstream Mississippi River water, 4.4 pCi/L for well waters, and 18.6 pCi/L for lake waters. Gamma emitters were below the lower limit of detection (LLD). In shoreline sediments, gross beta background levels in 1970 averaged 49.8 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Cs-137 activity averaged 0.10 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Low levels of Cs-137, occasionally observed today can still be attributed to residual activity from atmospheric fallout. Gross beta levels in fish flesh averaged 5.3 pCi/g in 1968 and 1969. Cs-137, measured in 1969 and 1970, averaged 0.044 pCi/g. Gross beta background levels, in 1970, for aquatic vegetation, algae, and periphyton samples measured 86.7 pCi/g, 76.5 pCi/g, and 28.1 pCi/g respectively.

4.4 Program Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in environmental samples collected outside of the Site Protected Area in 2016.
Tritium was identified in some groundwater samples collected within the site Protected Area, but not in offsite or domestic well samples.
Ambient Radiation (TLD's)
Ambient radiation was measured in the general area of the site boundary(inner ring), at an outer ring 4 - 5 mi. distant from the Plant, at special interest areas and at four control locations. The means were similar for both inner and outer rings (15.1 and 14.3 mRem/91 days, respectively).
The mean for special interest locations was 14.6 mRem/91 days and the mean for the control locations was 15.4 mRem/91 days. Dose rates measured at the inner and outer ring locations were similar to those observed from 1999 through 2016 and are tabulated below. No plant effect on ambient gamma radiation is indicated (Figure 5-1).

Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates were almost identical at 3
both indicator and control locations (0.024 and 0.026 pCi/m ,respectively), similar to levels observed from 1999 through 2015. The results are tabulated below.

Typically, the highest average readings occur during the months of January and December, and the first and fourth quarters, as observed in 1999 through 2015.
Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations. Beryllium-7, which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955) was detected in all samples, 3 3 with an average activity of 0.076 pCi/m for the indicator locations and 0.069 pCi/m for the control locations. All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD limits.
Airborne Iodine Weekly levels of airborne iodine-131 were below the lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.03 pCi/m3 in all samples.

River W ater and Drinking Water Tritium activity measured below 500 pCi/L in all samples. Gamma isotopic results were all below detection limits. Gross beta activity in Minneapolis drinking water averaged 2.6 pCi/L and was similar to average levels observed from 1998 through 2015. Gross beta averages are tabulated below. No indication plant operational effects were indicated.

Well Water At the four indicator and control locations, tritium was below the detection limit for all samples.
Gamma isotopic results were also below detection limits.
The data for 2016 were consistent with previous years results and no plant operational effects were indicated.
Vegetation in lieu of Milk Sampling Vegetation samples were collected in July, August and September, 2016. Iodine-131 concentrations measured below 0.054 pCi/g wet weight in all samples. These samples are required when milk samples are not available.
Crops A vegetation collection was not required for 2016. No crops within five miles of the plant were found using irrigation water from the Mississippi River, and the plant did not discharge radioactive liquid effluents.
Fish Eight fish were analyzed in 2016 consisting of two fish collected from upstream locations and two collected from downstream locations in May and then again in September. Flesh was separated from the bones and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Only naturally-occurring potassium-40 was found with an average of 3.35 pCi/g wet weight for four upstream samples and 3.28 pCi/g wet weight for the four downstream samples. These results agree with 2015 results. Other gamma-emitting isotopes remained below detection limits. There was no indication of a plant effect.
10
Shoreline Sediments Upstream, downstream and downstream recreational area shoreline sediment collections were made in N o v e m b e r , 2016, and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. A level of cesium-137 was detected in one downstream samples (M-9), at a concentration of 0.030 pCi/g dry weight.
Similar levels of activity have been observed since 1978, and are indicative of the influence of fallout deposition. Naturally-occurring beryllium-7 and potassium-40 were also detected. There was no indication of a plant effect.
Storm W ater Run-off (on-site)
All of five storm water run-off samples were below detection limits. Gamma isotopic analysis results also measured below detection limits for all five samples analyzed in 2016.
ISFSI TLD Monitoring Gamma and Neutron TLDs are located around the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) to monitor direct radiation from stored fuel. Results for gamma monitoring are included in the Complete Data Analysis Tables. In the 2015 AREOR it was stated that MNGP intended to begin reporting results for neutron TLDs. Benchmarking of other nuclear plant annual reports indicates that neutron dose is not reported. MNGP is awaiting industry guidance on how neutron TLD dose should be treated in an environmental monitoring context before reporting neutron monitoring results. Neutron TLD results are used internally for trending of neutron dose rates around the ISFSI.

APPENDIX A INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM RESULTS NOTE: Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory participates in intercomparison studies administered by Environmental Resources Associates, and serves as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada. Results are reported in Appendix A. TLD Intercomparison results, in-house spikes, blanks, duplicates and mixed analyte performance evaluation program results are also reported. Appendix A is updated four times a year; the complete Appendix is included in March, June, September and December monthly progress reports only.
January, 2016 through December, 2016
Appendix A Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of its quality control program in December 1971. These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental type samples containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories. The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on a laboratorys analytical procedures and to alert it of any possible problems.
Participant laboratories measure the concentration of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency. Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits. Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used.
Results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the RAD PT Study Proficiency Testing Program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Table A-2 lists results for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), via irradiation and evaluation by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Radiation Calibration Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin Medical Radiation Research Center.
Table A-3 lists results of the analyses on in-house spiked samples for the past twelve months. All samples are prepared using NIST traceable sources. Data for previous years available upon request.
Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house blank samples for the past twelve months. Data for previous years available upon request.
Table A-5 lists REMP specific analytical results from the in-house duplicate program for the past twelve months. Acceptance is based on the difference of the results being less than the sum of the errors.
Complete analytical data for duplicate analyses is available upon request.
The results in Table A-6 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program.
Results in Table A-7 were obtained through participation in the MRAD PT Study Proficiency Testing Program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the Environmental Measurement Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML).
Attachment A lists the laboratory precision at the 1 sigma level for various analyses. The acceptance criteria in Table A-3 is set at +/- 2 sigma.
Out-of-limit results are explained directly below the result.

Results are reported in units of Bq/kg (soil), Bq/L (water) or Bq/total sample (filters, vegetation).
b Laboratory codes as follows: MAW (water), MAAP (air filter), MASO (soil), MAVE (vegetation).
c MAPEP results are presented as the known values and expected laboratory precision (1 sigma, 1 determination) and control limits as defined by the MAPEP. A known value of "zero" indicates an analysis was included in the testing series as a "false positive". MAPEP does not provide control limits.
d Provided in the series for "sensitivity evaluation". MAPEP does not provide control limits.
e The laboratory properly identified the Sn-75 interfering peak in the vicinity of Co-57 and stated so in the comment field. MAPEP requires results to be reported as an activity with an uncertainty. Since the calculated uncertainty was less than the activity MAPEP interpreted the submitted result as a "false positive" resulting in a failure.
f Original analysis for Ni-63 failed.
g Reanalysis with a smaller aliquot resulted in acceptable results. An investigation is in process to identify better techniques for analyzing samples with complex matrices.
h MAPEP states that samples contain two fractions of Uranium; one that is soluble in concentrated HNO 3 and HCl acid and one that is "fundamentally insoluble in these acids". They also state that HF treatment can not assure complete dissolution.
Results are consistent with measuring the soluble form.

APPENDIX B. DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS Data Reporting Conventions 1.0. All activities, except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period.
2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows: x+/-s where: x = value of the measurement; s = 2s counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).
In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L = the lower limit of detection based on 4.66s uncertainty for a background sample.
3.0. Duplicate analyses If duplicate analyses are reported, the convention is as follows. :
3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x1 +/- s1 and x2 +/- s2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (x1 + x2) and s = (1/2) s12 s 22 3.2. Individual results: < L1 , < L2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L1 and L2 3.3. Individual results: x +/- s, < L Reported result: x +/- s if x L; < L otherwise.
4.0. Computation of Averages and Standard Deviations 4.1 Averages and standard deviations listed in the tables are computed from all of the individual measurements over the period averaged; for example, an annual standard deviation would not be the average of quarterly standard deviations. The average x and standard deviation s of a set of n numbers x1, x2 . . . xn are defined as follows:
1 (x- x )2 x =n x s= n-1 4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.
4.3 If all values in the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.
4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.
4.5 In rounding off, the following rules are followed:
4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained is less than 5, the number is dropped, and the retained numbers are kept unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.
4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45.
