1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Red Wing, Minnesota, during the period January - December, 2013. 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 not included in this report.

These data are included in a reference document (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2014b available at Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.

Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant is located on the Mississippi River in Goodhue County, Minnesota, owned by Xcel Energy Corporation and operated by Northern States Power Co.-Minnesota. The plant has two 575 MWe pressurized water reactors. Unit 1 achieved initial criticality on 1 December 1973. Commercial operation at full power began on 16 December 1973. Unit 2 achieved initial criticality on 17 December 1974. Commercial operation at full power began on 21 December 1974.

SUMMARY

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Offsite Dose Calculation Manual for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant and the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is described.

Results for 2013 are summarized and discussed.

Program findings show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.

3.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP) 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Prairie Island 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 Prairie Island 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 the environmental samples collected from the plant site. The plant's monitoring program includes analyses for tritium and iodine-1 31. Most samples are 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 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 plant's effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.

3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation (continued)

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 plant's 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.

3.2 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the radiological environmental monitoring program at Prairie Island 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 reactor site or ISFSI facility, as appropriate. To assure that sampling is carried out in a reproducible manner, detailed sampling procedures have been prescribed (Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, 2013). Maps of fixed sampling locations are included in Appendix D.

To monitor the airborne environment, air is sampled by continuous pumping at six stations, four site boundary indicators (P-2, P-3, P-4 and P-7), located in the highest calculated D/Q sectors, one community indicator (P-6), and one control (P-i). The particulates are collected on membrane filters, airborne iodine is trapped by activated charcoal. Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-131. Quarterly composites of particulate filters from each location are analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes.

Offsite ambient gamma radiation is monitored at thirty-four locations, using CaSO 4:Dy dosimeters with four sensitive areas at each location: ten in an inner ring in the general area of the site boundary, fifteen in the outer ring within a 4-5 mile radius, eight at special interest locations, and one control location, 11.1 miles distant from the plant. They are replaced and measured quarterly.

Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)

Facility by twenty CaSO 4:Dy dosimeters. Twelve dosimeters are located inside of the earthen berm in direct line of sight from the storage casks and eight dosimeters are located outside of the earthen berm. They are replaced and measured quarterly.

Milk samples are collected monthly from three farms (two indicators and one control) and analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes. The milk is collected biweekly during the growing season (May - October), because the milk animals may be on pasture.

For additional monitoring of the terrestrial environment, green leafy vegetables (cabbage) are collected annually from the highest D/Q garden and a control location (P-38), and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes, including iodine-131. Corn is collected annually only if fields are irrigated with river water and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Well water and ground water are collected quarterly from four locations near the plant and analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting isotopes.

River water is collected weekly at two locations, one upstream of the plant (P-5) and one downstream (P-6, Lock and Dam No.3). Monthly composites are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.

3.2 Progqram Description (continued)

Drinking water is collected weekly from the City of Red Wing well. 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, periphyton or invertebrates, and bottom sediments. Shoreline sediment is collected semi-annually from three locations. All samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

3.3 Program Execution The Program was executed as described in the preceding section with the following exceptions:

(1) Airborne Particulates /Airborne Iodine:

No air particulate / air iodine sample was available from location P-06 for the week ending May 7, 2013. There was no indication of flow through the air sampler.

A partial sample was collected from location P-04 for the week ending 7/16/13. Sampler run-time was reduced by approximately 20 hours2.314815e-4 days <br />0.00556 hours <br />3.306878e-5 weeks <br />7.61e-6 months <br />.

Air samples were not collected from the site boundary location with the highest calculated annual average ground level D/Q from January through the first three weeks of October, 2013. In 2011, annual average ground level D/Q values were updated, and identified the West sector as the highest D/Q location. A new air station (P-7) was installed in the sector and became operational during the last week of October, 2013.

(2) Thermoluminescent Dosimeters:

The TLD for location PI-03A was missing in the field for the first quarter, 2013.

The TLD for location PI-07S was missing in the field for the second quarter, 2013.

(3) Vegetation:

No broadleaf vegetation sample was available from location P-38 for the September collection. The farmer was not available for contact.

Deviations from the program are summarized in Table 5.3.

3.4 Laboratory Procedures The iodine-131 analyses in milk and drinking water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure which involves separation of the iodine using an ion-exchange method, solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.

Gamma-spectroscopic analyses are performed using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors.

Levels of iodine-131 in cabbage and natural vegetation and concentrations of airborne iodine-1 31 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 (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2012). The QA Program includes participation in Interlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs. Results obtained in the crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A.

3.5 Progqram Modifications Air station P-7, (0.5 mi @ 271°/N) was added in the fourth quarter, 2013.

3.6 Land Use Census In accordance with the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, H4, (ODCM) a land use census is conducted in order to identify the location of the nearest milk 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 distance of 5 miles. This census is conducted at least once per 12 months between the dates of May 1 and October 31. If new locations yield a calculated dose or dose equivalent (via the same exposure pathway) twenty percent greater than the required locations per the ODCM, then the new locations are added to the radiological 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.

This land use census insures the updating of the radiological environmental monitoring program should sampling locations change within the 5 mile radius from the plant.

The Land Use Census was completed in October, 2013. There were no changes to any of the highest D/Q locations for nearest milk animal, garden sites, or nearest residence.

No downstream irrigation of corn was discovered within 5 miles of the Prairie Island Plant.

Therefore, no corn samples were collected for analysis.

4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All scheduled collections and analyses were made except those listed in Table 5.3.

The 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.

4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents involving significant release to the environment at nuclear reactor facilities in 2013. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurred March 11, 2011.

There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 2013. The last reported test was conducted on October 16, 1980 by the People's Republic of China.

4.2 Summary of Preoperational Data The following constitutes a summary of preoperational studies conducted at the Prairie Island Nuclear Power Plant during the years 1970 to 1973, 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, since background levels of radiation were much higher in these years due to radioactive fallout from the atmosphere. Gross beta measurements in fallout declined yearly from a level of 12,167 pCi/ m3 to 1,020 pCi/ M 3 , and these declining values are reflected throughout the various media tested.

In the air environment, ambient gamma radiation (TLDs) averaged 9.4 mR/4 weeks during pre-operational studies. Gross beta in air particulates declined from levels of 0.38 to 0.037 pCi/m 3.

3 Average present day levels have stabilized at around 0.025 pCi/m . Airborne radioiodine remained below detection levels.

In the terrestrial environment of 1970 to 1973, milk, agricultural crops, and soil were monitored. In milk samples, low levels of Cs-137, 1-131, and Sr-90 were detected. Cs-137 levels declined from 16.5 to 8.6 pCi/L. Present day measurements for both Cs-137 and 1-131 are below detection levels. Agricultural crop measurements averaged 57.7 pCi/g for gross beta and 0.47 pCi/g for Cs-137. Gross beta measured in soil averaged 52 pCi/g.

The aqueous environment was monitored by testing of river, well and lake waters, 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 eight separate locations, declined steadily from an average concentration of 1020 pCi/L to 490 pCi/L. Present day environmental levels of tritium measure below a detection limit of approximately 160 pCi/L. Values for gross beta, measured from 1970 to 1973, averaged 9.9 pCi/L in downstream Mississippi River water, 8.2 pCi/L for well water, and 11.0 pCi/L for lake water. Gamma emitters were below the lower limit of detection (LLD). In bottom sediments, gross beta background levels were determined at 51.0 pCi/g. Cs-137 activity during preoperational studies in 1973 measured 0.25 pCi/g upstream and 0.21 pCi/g downstream. The lower levels occasionally observed today can still be attributed to residual activity from atmospheric fallout. Gross beta in fish, measured in both flesh and skeletal samples, averaged 7.3 and 11.7 pCi/g, respectively. Gross beta background levels in aquatic vegetation, algae and periphyton samples measured 76.0 pCi/g , 46.0 pCi/g, and 13.6 pCi/g, respectively.

4.3 Program Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.

Ambient Radiation (TLDs)

Ambient radiation was measured in the general area of the site boundary, at the outer ring 4 - 5 mi. distant from the Plant, at special interest areas and at one control location. The means ranged from 15.0 mRi91 days at inner ring locations to 15.2 mR/91 days at outer ring locations.

The mean at special interest locations was 13.8 mR/91 days and 16.0 mR/91 days at the control location. Dose rates measured at the inner and outer ring and the control locations were slightly lower than those observed from 1998 through 2012. The results are tabulated below. No plant effect on ambient gamma radiation measurements was indicated (Figure 5-1).

Average (Inner and Average (Inner and Year Outer Rings) Control Year Outer Rings) Control 1998 16.7 17.3 2006 16.6 16.6 1999 16.6 17.5 2007 17.5 17.7 2000 17.0 17.1 2008 16.9 17.1 2001 16.8 17.2 2009 15.9 16.3 2002 17.4 16.9 2010 16.0 16.0 2003 16.2 16.0 2011 15.7 15.7 2004 17.6 17.6 2012 16.5 16.2 2005 16.8 16.3 2013 15.1 16.0 Ambient gamma radiation as measured by thermoluminescent dosimetry.

Average quarterly dose rates (mR/91 days).

ISFSI Facility Operations Monitorinq Ambient radiation was measured inside the ISFSI earth berm, outside the ISFSI earth berm and at two special locations between the plant ISFSI and the Prairie Island Indian Community. The mean dose rates averaged 122.6 mR/91 days inside the ISFSI earth berm and 24.0 mR/91 days outside the ISFSI earth berm. Six additional casks were placed on the ISFSI pad in 2013, a total of thirty-five loaded casks remain. The higher levels inside the earth berm are expected, due to the loaded spent fuel casks being in direct line-of-sight of the TLDs.

The 2013 fourth quarter TLD results for ISFSI monitoring locations P-011B, P-021B, P-031B and P-081B (located north and east of the ISFSI berm) were elevated. The higher doses were due to the temporary use of the adjacent area for preparing steam generators for shipment. Now that the steam generators have been shipped, doses are expected to return to their previous levels during the first quarter of 2014.

Ambient radiation levels measured outside the earth berm show a slight increase as compared to other offsite dose rates around the plant. The cumulative average of the two special Prairie Island Indian Community TLDs measured 14.1 and 13.7 mR/91 days. Although the skyshine neutron dose rates are not directly measured, the neutron levels measured next to the casks are below the levels predicted in the ISFSI SAR Report, Table 7A-4, "TN-40 Dose Rates at Short Distances". Therefore, the skyshine dose rates at farther distances from the casks should be at or below the calculated dose rates. No spent fuel storage effect on offsite ambient gamma radiation was indicated (Fig. 5-1).

8

Airborne Particulates Typically, the highest averages for gross beta occur during the months of January and December, and the first and fourth quarters, as in 1996 through 2006, and also in 2008 through 2010. The elevated activity observed in 2007 was attributed to construction activity in the area, an increase in dust and consequent heavier particulate filter loading.

Average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates were 0.027 pCi/m 3 at the indicators and 0.028 pCi/m 3 at the control location and similar to levels observed from 1998 through 2006 and 2008 to 2012. The results are tabulated below.

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 AI-Salih, 1955) was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.069 pCi/m 3 for all locations. All other isotopes were below the lower limit of detection.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

Airborne Iodine 3

Weekly levels of airborne iodine-131 were below the lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.03 pCi/m in all samples. There was no indication of a plant effect.

9

Milk Iodine-1 31 results were below a detection limit of 0.5 pCi/L in all samples.

Cs-137 results were below 5 pCi/L in all samples. No other gamma-emitting isotopes, except naturally occurring potassium-40, were detected in any milk sample. In general, radiocontaminants from cattlefeed are not found in milk, due to the selective metabolism of the cow. The common exceptions are isotopes of potassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine (National Center for Radiological Health, 1968).

In summary, the data for 2013 show no radiological effects of the plant operation.

Drinkinq Water In drinking water from the City of Red Wing well, tritium activity measured below a detection limit of 184 pCi/L for all samples.

Gross beta concentrations averaged 12.2 pCi/L throughout the year, ranging from 8.0-15.7 pCi/L.

These concentrations are consistent with levels observed from 1998 through 2012. The most likely contribution is the relatively high levels of naturally-oc'curring radium. Gamma spectroscopy indicates the presence of lead and bismuth isotopes, which are daughters of the radium decay chain. There is no indication from the 2013 data of any effect of plant operation.

River Water The third quarter, 2013, river water composite from downstream location P-6, tested positive for tritium at a level of 500 pCi/L. Further analyses confirmed that the activity was due to the September 24, 2013 sample collection, and coincided with a scheduled plant release. All other river water samples measured below an LLD level of 182 pCi/L.

Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all samples.

In summary, the data for 2013 show no radiological effects from the plant operation.

10

Well Water Water samples tested from the control well, P-43 (Peterson Farm) and from four indicator wells (P-8, Community Center, P-6, Lock and Dam No. 3, P-9, Plant Well No. 2 and P-24, Suter Farm )

showed no tritium detected above a detection limit of 155 pCi/L. Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all samples.

In summary, well water data for 2013 show no radiological effects of the plant operation.

Crops Two samples of broadleaf vegetation, cabbage leaves, were collected in September, 2013 and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes, including iodine-131. The 1-131 level was below 0.016 pCi/g wet weight in all samples. With exceptions for naturally-occurring beryllium-7 and potassiurn-40, all other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective detection limits.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

Field sampling personnel conducted an annual land use survey and found no river water taken for irrigation into fields within 5 miles downstream from the Prairie Island Plant. The collection and analysis of corn samples was not required.

Fish Fish were collected in May and September, 2013 and analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes. Only naturally-occurring potassium-40 was detected, and there was no significant difference between upstream and downstream results. There was no indication of a plant effect.

Aquatic Insects or Periphyton Aquatic insects (invertebrates) or periphyton were collected in May and. September, 2013 and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. All gamma-emitting isotopes measured below detection limits. There was no indication of any plant effect.

Bottom and Shoreline Sediments Upstream, downstream and downstream recreational area shoreline sediments were sampled in May, September and November, 2013 and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. The only gamma-emitting isotope detected was naturally-occurring potassium-40.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

  • fax (847) 564-4517 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 through December, 2013

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 laboratory's 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 environmental sample crosscheck 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 International Intercomparison of Environmental Dosimeters, when available, and internal laboratory testing.

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 environmental sample crosscheck 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.

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 = 2ay 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 4.66a 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; x, +/- si and x2 +/- s2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (xi + x 2) ands = (1/2) S2+/-

3.2. Individual results: < L1i, < L2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L, 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 11 and standard deviation "s" of a set of n numbers xi, x2 ... xn are defined as follows:

0= 1 Yix S=

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.

APPENDIX E Special Well and Surface Water Samples E-1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This appendix to the Radiation Environmental Monitoring Program Annual Report to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission summarizes and interprets results of the special well and surface water samples taken at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Red Wing, Minnesota, during the period January - December, 2013. This supplemental special sampling program was established in December of 1989 when higher than expected levels of tritium were detected in a nearby residence well sample.

Tabulations of the special sampling program individual analyses made during the year are included in this appendix. A summary table of tritium analyses is also included in this appendix.

2.0

SUMMARY

This special sampling program was established following the detection of tritium in a residence well water sample south of the PINGP during 1989. This program is described and the results for 2013 are summarized and discussed.

Program findings for 2013 detected low levels of tritium in nearby residence wells, ground water, and surface samples at or near the expected natural background levels with the exception of ground water sample well MW-8. The 2013 sample results (except for MW-8) ranged from <19 pCi/L to 100 pCi/L.

Sample well MW-8 ranged from 266 pCi/L to 378 pCi/L. All tritium results are far below the Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standard of 20,000 pCi/L and present no harm to any members of the public.

None of the water samples monitored for gamma-emitting isotopes showed any activity greater than the LLD.

3.0 Special Tritium Samnlinq Procram 3.1 Proqram Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of this sampling program is to assess the impact of any tritium leaching into the environment (ground water system) from the PINGP. For this purpose, special water samples are collected and analyzed for tritium content.

3.2 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the special water sampling program is summarized in Table E-4.1'and briefly reviewed below. Table E-4.2 defines the additional sample locations and codes for the special water sampling program.

Special well, tank, and surface water samples were collected quarterly (spring, summer, fall) at seven locations, quarterly at one location, monthly at six locations, semi-annually at five locations, and annually at forty-two locations. The Peterson (P-43) and Hanson (SW-1) farm wells are used as control locations for these special samples.

To detect low levels of tritium at or below natural background levels, analyses of the samples have been contracted to a laboratory (University of Waterloo Laboratories) capable of detecting tritium concentrations down to 19 pCi/L. Waterloo Laboratories report tritium analyses results in Tritium Units (1 TU = 3.2 pCi/L). The tritium results in this report are indicated in pCi/L.

3.3 Progqram Execution The special water sampling program was executed as described in the preceding section with the following exceptions:

  • No samples were available from wells P-8, PIIC-02, PIIC-03, PIIC-19, PIIC-20, PIIC-21, P1IC-22, PIIC-23, PIIC-24, PIIC-26, PIIC-27, and PIIC-28 in 2013.
  • An annual (versus a semi-annual) sample was taken from locations 11 CST, 12 CST, and 13 CST. The second collection was missed.

3.4 Progqram Modifications Changes to the program in 2013 include:

  • Samples taken from wells P-10 and MW-8 and stormwater runoff from S-6 and S-7 were sent to ATI Environmental, Incorporated for analysis of hard-to-detect nuclides, in accordance with American Nuclear Insurers recommendations (Table E-4.5).
  • Samples were not collected from the warehouse septic or the D5 Fuel Oil Storage Tank vault. Sampling is not required.

3.5 Results and Discussion Results show tritium in well water and ground water samples at or near expected natural background levels except the MW-8 ground water sample well. Table E-4.4 provides the complete data table of results for each period and sampling location.

The tritium level annual averages have shown a downward trend since the special sampling began in 1989.

Except for sample well MW-8, the 2013 sample results are within the range of expected background tritium levels in shallow ground water and surface water due to tritium concentrations measured in precipitation. Sampling points in North America have shown tritium concentrations in precipitation ranging from 5 pCi/L to 157 pCi/L (Environmental Isotope Data No. 10; World Survey of Isotope Concentration in Precipitation (1988-1991)).

The higher level results at the Suter residence and Birch Lake in 1989 were possibly due to seepage from the PINGP discharge canal water into the ground water. This is thought to occur due to the elevation difference between the Vermillion River and the discharge canal. The Suter residence is located between the discharge canal and Birch Lake, which connects to the Vermillion River. The PINGP discharge canal piping was lengthened during 1991, so that liquid discharges from the plant are released near the end of the discharge canal, diffused and discharged to the Mississippi River. In 1992, the underground liquid discharge pipe from the plant to the discharge canal piping was replaced with a double walled leak detectable piping system. This year's sample results continue to indicate that these modifications have eliminated the suspected radioactive effluent flow into the local ground water.

The elevated tritium levels in sample well MW-8 in 2013 may be due to prior leakage from the PINGP liquid radwaste discharge pipe, discharge of turbine building sump water into the landlocked area, or discharge of heating steam condensate from the main warehouse in 1978/1979. The liquid radwaste discharge pipe was replaced in 1992 and the discharge to the landlocked area has been terminated, the last discharge took place on 11/14/2009. The main warehouse heating system was repaired in 1979. An additional discharge of approximately one gallon of heating steam condensate was released in 2013 from the maintenance warehouse. Corrective actions were taken to repair the steam isolation valve. The heating steam system was not used in the outer plant buildings during the 2013- 2014 heating season.

None of the water samples monitored for gamma-emitting isotopes showed any activity greater than the LLD.
