INTRODUCTION Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) - 2006 This report gives the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the year 2006. The REMP is a requirement of the Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) operating license. It was initiated prior to plant operation in 1973.
The main purpose of the REMP is to ensure public safety by monitoring plant discharges and assessing the effect, if any, of plant operations, on the environment. Samples are collected that would account for various exposure pathways such as ingestion, inhalation, adsorption and direct exposure.
Samples collected on a regular basis include: air, water, milk, vegetation, fish, sediment, food crops, and field crops. Direct radiation is measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). These samples and TLDs are sent to an independent vendor laboratory for analysis. The vendor uses analytical methods that are sensitive enough to detect a level of activity far below that which would be considered harmful. Locations for sample collection are based on radiological and meteorological data from the Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report and information obtained from the Environmental Land Use Survey.
Most samples, particularly indicator samples, are collected in a circular area within a five-mile radius of plant containment. (However, control locations are usually outside of five miles.) This circle is divided into sixteen equal sectors, each assigned an identification letter "A" through "R" (note: letters "I"and "0"are not used, as they may be mistaken for the numbers "1" and "0"). Sector "A" is centered on North or zero degrees. Sectors are also given directional labels such as "West-Southwest" ("WSW"). Sample locations are listed by number along with their respective distances and direction from plant containment, in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
When assessing sample results, data from indicator locations (those most likely to be affected by plant operations) are compared to those from control locations (those least or not likely to be effected). Results from an indicator location which were significantly higher than those from a control location, could indicate a plant-attributable effect, and could require additional investigation.
The results of the sample analyses, as required by the ODCM, are presented in the attached statistical tables in accordance with Table 1 of Regulatory Guide 4.8, "Environmental Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants."
Sample collection was conducted by plant chemistry/environmental staff. A contract vendor (Environmental Inc., Northbrook, Illinois) performed sample analyses, preparation of monthly reports and the statistical evaluation of sample results. All vendor analysis techniques met the sensitivity requirements as stated in the ODCM.

Results for 2006 were within expected ranges and compared closely with historical results. The following is a review of specific sample results.
- 1) Ambient Gamma Radiation Ambient gamma radiation is measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) provided by the vendor laboratory. These dosimeters contain calcium sulfate phosphors and are processed quarterly.
All results for 2006 were within historical ranges. The indicator locations had results ranging from 1.2 to 1.8 mrem per week. The control location (OTD-L) had an annual mean of 1.3 mrem per week. Results from indicator locations are within the range of results from the control location.
No plant-attributable results were observed.
- 2) Milk/Pasture Milk samples are collected every two weeks from the beginning of May through September when dairy animals are in pasture. Indicator samples are collected from a herd of milk goats at a family farm located approximately 0.7 miles from the plant in Sector K (South-Southwest).
The control samples are collected from a commercial dairy cow herd located approximately 9.9 miles from the plant in Sector J (South). These locations are unchanged from last year. There were no missed milk samples this year, therefore, no pasture samples were needed.
The milk sample collected from Bansen Farm on June 30, 2006, had some leakage during shipping. Final sample volume was 0.6 liter.
Enough sample volume was available to determine appropriate LLD.
All milk sample results for Iodine-1 31, Cesium-1 34, Cesium-1 37 and other gammas were less than LLD for both indicator and control locations. No plant-related effects were observed.
- 3) Fish Fish are collected on an annual basis. Control samples are collected at a location approximately twenty miles upstream of the plant (river miles 665-667). Indicator samples are collected in the immediate vicinity of the power plant (river miles 644-646). Several species of fish, important to commercial and recreational interest, representing all levels of the aquatic food chain are collected at both locations. Results from both locations were less than LLD for all gamma emitters, indicating no plant-related effects.

- 4) Food Crops Food crops samples are collected from three locations annually, two indicator locations and one control location. Based on the results of the 2006 Land Use Survey, the nearest high deposition pathway for food crops is the Ellis Acreage in Sector J (0.74 miles, 1820). Accordingly, vegetable samples were collected at Ellis Acreage for the purposes of the 2006 REMP. All results were less than LLD for all isotopes. No plant-related effects were observed.
- 5) Onsite Field Crops In addition, onsite field crops were sampled near the plant boundary in Sector F (0.52 miles, 1180).
Sample results were comparable with historical results and within the range of results reported from the control location garden at Mohr Dairy in Sector J (9.86 miles, 1860). All results were less than LLD for all isotopes.
No plant-related effects were observed.
- 6) Sediment River sediment samples are collected twice a year at an upstream control location and a downstream indicator location. All results were less than LLD, and no plant-related effects were observed.
- 7) Air Monitoring Air sample results for 2006 were well within historical limits for all locations. Additionally, all indicator locations showed results very similar to the control location. No plant-related effects were observed.
Three incidents were reported to the Plant Corrective Action Group in 2006 relating to air sampling problems. Each is discussed below.
When samples were being collected on February 8, 2006, it was found that the ground-fault interrupt (GFI) switch had tripped at location OAP-K-(I) after only 45 hours5.208333e-4 days <br />0.0125 hours <br />7.440476e-5 weeks <br />1.71225e-5 months <br /> of run time. This resulted in a sample volume of only 155 cubic meters. The sample was analyzed and activity calculated for actual volume, yielding a Beta result of 0.017 pCi/L. This result is within the historical range of all sample locations. This sample was handled in accordance with the ODCM Section 4.1.1A(7) which addresses lost and non-standard samples. No significant airborne effluents were discharged from the plant during the time period in question. There were no violations of the ODCM or regulatory requirements. There was no effect on public safety or the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone.

When the technician arrived at location OAP-K-(I) to change out the GFI switch on February 28, they found it had again tripped off after 70.32 hours3.703704e-4 days <br />0.00889 hours <br />5.291005e-5 weeks <br />1.2176e-5 months <br /> of run time. The GFI was replaced and the system checked back to the transformer for potential grounds. In addition to the suspected malfunctioning GFI, a loose side lug was found in the meter. This could have contributed to the GFI tripping. The unit was re-started after repairs and monitored daily to verify continuous operation. The sample was collected at the regular day and time. Total sample collection time was 92.12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and total sample volume was 313 cubic meters. Sample activity was calculated accordingly, yielding a result of 0.040 pCi/L, which is within historical seasonal results. There was no violation of ODCM or regulatory requirements. The sample was completed in accordance with the ODCM Section 4.1.1A(7) which addresses lost or non-standard samples. There was no effect on public safety of the Public Radiation Safety Cornerstone.
On July 27, 2006, when the technician arrived at location OAP-B-(I), the rotometer on the air pump was showing a flow of 2.5 cubic feet per minute. The technician replaced the pump and returned the potentially malfunctioning pump to the instrument shop. When the pump was tested with the Teledyne flow standard equipment, to verify actual flow, it was found to be operating at 2.07 cubic feet per minute, well within the acceptance criteria. The self-contained rotometers on the air pumps are known to have a degree of accuracy problems. They are also subjected to temperature changes, humidity, and the potential for in-leakage of fine dust particles. As a result, the Teledyne flow standard equipment is considered the determiner of actual flow rates. Since actual flow rates were within limits, no correction was needed to sample volume results and this is considered a rotometer problem only.
- 8) Surface Water Water samples are collected upstream of the plant (control location) as well as half-mile downstream, and at a municipal water treatment plant on the north edge of Omaha.
Results for Cs-134, Cs-1 37, and other gammas were all less than LLD.
Tritium results were also less than LLD. No plant-related effects were detected.
- 9) Ground Water Ground water monitoring for tritium is performed per the Site Ground Water Protection Program. Analysis results for ground water samples collected are presented in the 2006 Annual Radiological Effluent Release Report.

Review of Environmental Inc., Quality Assurance Program Fort Calhoun Station contracts with Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory (vendor) to perform radioanalysis of environmental samples. Environmental Inc.
participates in interlaboratory comparison (cross-check) programs, as part of its quality control program. These programs are operated by agencies such as the Department of Energy, which supply blind-spike environmental type samples such as milk or water containing concentrations of radionuclides unknown to the testing laboratory. This type of program provides an independent check of the analytical laboratory's procedures and processes, and provides indication of possible weaknesses. In addition, Environmental Inc. has its own in-house QA program of blind-spike and duplicate analyses.
Of the 52 samples analyzed in the Interlaboratory Comparison Crosscheck program, one had a failed result. An 1-131 sample was analyzed three times, with an average result of 28.4 +/- 1.2 pCi/L. Control limits were 16.9 - 27.3 pCi/L. When the sample was analyzed a fourth time and re-averaged, results were 24.89 pCi/L and were within limits. These QA results had no impact on Fort Calhoun sample results.
The vendor laboratory performed approximately 168 In-House duplicate samples for the year. Of these, two were listed as failures, a Gross Beta sample and a K-40 sample. The vendor reviewed their results, and determined that the failures were due to a 200-minute or longer count time, which resulted in a lower error. The vendor investigated and reported the results properly. These sample results had no impact on Fort Calhoun sample results.
The vendor laboratory also participated in the Department of Energy's Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program. Of the 106 samples submitted to the vendor, six failed the acceptance criteria. These samples contained Pu-238, Pu-239/40, U-233/4 and U-238. The vendor investigated and determined that the cause of the failures was due to the incomplete dissolution of the samples. When four of the samples, which were of soil, were re-analyzed, the results were satisfactory. These test results had no impact on Fort Calhoun samples and were documented by the vendor.

Appendix A Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of it's 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.
The results in Table A-2 list 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 list results of 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. Data for previous years available upon request.
The results in Table A-6 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program.

c Laboratory codes as follows: STW (water), STAP (air filter), STSO (soil), STVE (vegetation).
d MAPEP results are presented as the known values and expected laboratory precision (1 sigma, 1 determination) and control limits as defined by the MAPEP.
e Included in the MAPEP as a false positive.
f Difficulties with the analyses for transuranics isotopes in solid samples (Filters, Soil and vegetation),
were attributed to incomplete dissolution of the samples. Soil samples were repeated, results of reanalyses:
Pu-238, 53.1 +/- 5.3 bq/kg. Pu-239/240, 42.4 +/- 4.7 bq/kg. U-233/4, 33.3 +/- 3.5 bq/kg. U-238, 35.5 +/- 3.6 bq/kg.
g The July vegetation sample was provided in two separate geometries, (100 ml. and 500 ml.). Results reported here used the 500 ml. standard size geometry. Results for the 100 ml. geometry showed approximately a 15% higher bias.

APPENDIX B DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS B-1
I I 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 3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; xi +/- sl and x2 +/- s2 Reported result: x+s; where x= (1/2)(xi +x2)ands = (1/2) *22 +s2 3.2. Individual results: <Li , <L2 Reported result: <L, where L = lower of Li and L2 fl 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 xi, x2 ... xn are defined as follows:
f =n >Ix s= n-4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.
i 4.3 Ifall 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:
H 4.5.1. If the figure following those to be retained is less than 5, the figure is dropped, and the retained figures are kept unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.
4.5.2. If the figure following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the figure is dropped and the last retained figure is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45.
4.6 Composite samples which overlap the next month or year are reported for the month or year in which most of the sample is collected.
