Executive Summary This document is a detailed report on the 1999 North Anna Nuclear Power Station Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). Radioactivity levels from January 1 through December 31, 1999 in water, silt, shoreline sediment, milk, aquatic biota, food products, vegetation, and direct exposure pathways have been analyzed, evaluated, and summarized. The REMP is designed to ensure that radiological effluent releases are As Low As is Reasonably Achievable (ALARA), no undue environmental effects occur, and the health and safety of the public is protected. The program also detects any unexpected environmental processes which could allow radiation accumulations in the environment or food pathway chains.
Radiation and radioactivity in the environment is constantly monitored within a 25 mile radius of the station. Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) also collects samples within this area. A number of sampling locations for each medium were selected using available meteorological, land use, and water use data. Two types of samples are obtained. The first type, control samples, are collected from areas that are beyond the measurable influence of North Anna Nuclear Power Station or any other nuclear facility. These samples are used as reference data. Normal background radiation levels, or radiation present due to causes other than North Anna Power Station, can thus be compared to the environment surrounding the nuclear power station. Indicator samples are the second sample type obtained. These samples show how much radiation is contributed to the environment by the plant. Indicator samples are taken from areas close to the station where any plant contribution will be at the highest concentration.
Prior to station operation, samples were collected and analyzed to determine the amount of radioactivity present in the area. The resulting values are used as a "pre-operational baseline."
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, other causes such as the Chernobyl accident, or natural variation.
Teledyne Brown Engineering provides sample analyses for various radioisotopes as appropriate for each sample media. Participation in an interlaboratory comparison program provides an independent check of sample measurement precision and accuracy.
Typically, radioactivity levels in the environment are so low that analysis values frequently fall below the minimum detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement methods. Because of this, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that equipment used for radiological environmental monitoring must be able to detect specified minimum Lower Limits of Detection (LLD). This 7
ensures that analyses are as accurate as possible. Samples with extremely low levels of radiation which cannot be detected are therefore reported as being below the LLD.
The NRC also mandates a "reporting level." Licensed nuclear facilities must report any releases equal to or greater than this reporting level. Environmental radiation levels are sometimes referred to as a percent of the reporting level.
Analytical results are divided into five categories based on exposure pathways: Airborne, waterborne, aquatic, ingestion, and direct radiation. Each of these pathways is described below:
" The airborne exposure pathway includes airborne iodine, airborne particulate, precipitation, and soil samples. The overall 1999 airborne results were very similar to previous years and to preoperational levels. No increase was noted and there were no detections of fission products or other man-made isotopes in the airborne particulate media during 1999.
The waterborne exposure pathway includes ground/well water, river water, and surface water samples. No man-made or natural isotopes were detected in Lake Anna surface water except for tritium. The average tritium activity in 1999 was 13.4% of the NRC reporting level. This has essentially remained unchanged from 1995 levels.
The aquatic exposure pathway includes sediment/silt and shoreline samples. North Anna sediment contained some cesium-137.
During the preoperational period, cesium-137 was detected.
Sediment contamination, however, does not provide a direct dose pathway to man.
In shoreline soil, which may provide a direct dose pathway, no cesium-137 was detected.
The ingestion exposure pathway includes milk, fish, and food/vegetation samples.
Iodine-131 was not detected in any 1999 milk samples. Although cesium-137 has been detected in the past, it was not detected in 1999 milk samples. Strontium-90 vXas detected at levels comparable to 1998, and lower than preoperational years. Both strontium-90 and cesium-137 are attributable to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing in the past. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected at normal environmental levels.
Fish samples during 1999 contained cesium-137 at a slightly higher activity than preoperational levels. Steam generator repairs and better liquid waste processing, however, have reduced these activity levels from previous years. Vegetation samples were statistically similar to both control and preoperational levels.
The direct radiation exposure pathway measures environmental radiation doses by use of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). TLD results have remained essentially the same since the preoperational period in 1977.
8
During 1999, as in previous years, operation of the North Anna Nuclear Power Station created no adverse environmental affects or health hazards.
The maximum total body dose calculated for a hypothetical individual at the North Anna Power Station site boundary due to liquid and gaseous effluents released from the site during 1999 would be approximately 0.58 millirem. For reference, this dose may be compared to the 360 millirem average annual exposure to every person in the United States from natural and man-made sources. Natural sources in the environment provide approximately 82% of radiation exposure to man while Nuclear Power contributes less than 0.1%. These results demonstrate not only compliance with federal and state regulations, but also demonstrate the adequacy of radioactive effluent control at the North Anna Nuclear Power Station.

I. INTRODUCTION 10
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NORTH ANNA POWER STATION RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERA TING PROGRAM L
INTRODUCTION The operational radiological environmental monitoring program conducted for 1999 for the North Anna Power Station is provided in this report. The results of measurements and analyses of data obtained from samples collected from January 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999 are summarized.
A. The North Anna Power Station of Virginia Electric and Power Company is located on Lake Anna in Mineral, Virginia, approximately 35 miles south West of Fredericksburg, Virginia. The site consists of two units, each with a pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear steam supply system and turbine generator furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
Each unit is designed with a gross electrical output of 979 megawatts electric (MWe). Unit 1 achieved commercial operation on June 6, 1978, and Unit 2 on December 14, 1980. An independent spent fuel storage facility was licensed for dry cask storage of spent fuel in 1998.
B.
The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) regulations require that nuclear power plants be designed, constructed, and operated to keep levels of radioactive material in effluents to unrestricted areas as low as is reasonably achievable (ALARA). To ensure these criteria are met, the operating license for North Anna Power Station includes Technical Specifications which address the release of radioactive effluents.
Inplant monitoring is used to ensure release limits are not exceeded.
As a precaution against unexpected or undefined environmental processes which might allow undue accumulation of radioactivity in the environment, a program for monitoring the plant environs is also included in North Anna Power Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
C.
Virginia Electric and Power Company is responsible for collecting the various indicator and control environmental samples.
Teledyne Brown Engineering is responsible for sample analysis and submitting reports of radioanalyses. The results are used to determine if changes in radioactivity levels could be attributable to station operations. Measured values are compared with control levels, which vary with time due to such 11
external events as cosmic ray bombardment, weapons test fallout, and seasonal variations of naturally occurring isotopes. Data collected prior to the plant operation is used to indicate the degree of natural variation to be expected.
This preoperational data is compared with data collected during the operational phase to assist in evaluating the radiological impact of the plant operation.
D. Occasional samples of environmental media show the presence of man-made isotopes.
As a method of referencing the measured radionuclide concentrations in the sample media to a dose consequence to man, the data is compared to the reporting level con centrations listed in the USNRC Regulatory Guide 4.8 and North Anna's ODCM. These concentrations are based upon the annual dose commitment recommended by 10CFR50, Appendix I, to meet the criterion of "As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable".
E.
This report documents the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for 1999 and satisfies the following objectives of the program:
- 1.
Provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of the maximum exposed members of the public resulting from the station operation.
- 2.
Supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that radioactive effluents are within allowable limits.
- 3.
Identifies radioactivity changes in the environment.
- 4.
Verifies that the plant operations have no detrimental effect on the health and safety of the public.

SUMMARY
AND DISCUSSION OF 1999 ANALYTICAL RESULTS 32
IV.
Summary and Discussion of 1999 Analytical Results Data from the radiological analyses of environmental media collected during 1999 are tabulated and discussed below. The procedures and specifications followed in the laboratory for these analyses are as required in the Teledyne Brown Engineering Quality Assurance Manual and are explained in the Teledyne Brown Engineering Analytical Procedures.
A synopsis of analytical procedures used for the environmental samples is provided in Appendix D. In addition to internal quality control measures performed by Teledyne, the laboratory also participates in the Environmental Protection Agency's Interlaboratory Comparison Program. Participation in this program ensures that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental samples are performed.
The results of the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison are provided in Appendix E.
Radiological analyses of environmental media characteristically approach and frequently fall below the detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement methods. The "less than" values in the data tables were calculated for each specific analysis and are dependent on sample size, detector efficiency, length of counting time, chemical yield, when appropriate, and the radioactive decay factor from time of counting to time of collection.
Teledyne Brown Engineering's analytical methods meet the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) requirements given in Table 2 of the USNRC Branch Technical Position, Radiological Monitoring Acceptable Program (November 1979, Revision 1) and the ODCM.
The following is a discussion and summary of the results of the environmental measurements taken during the 1999 reporting period.
A.
Airborne Exposure Pathway
- 1.
Air Iodine/Particulates Charcoal cartridges used to collect airborne iodine were collected weekly and analyzed by gamma spectrometry for iodine-131. The results are presented in Table B-1.
All results were below the required lower limit of detection except for one measurement from Station 03 at 0.03 pCi/m 3. For air particulates, gross beta activity was observed in all 51 control samples with an average concentration of 0.0 18 pCi/m 3 and a range of 0.011 to 0.034 pCi/m3. The average measurement for the indicator locations was 0.018 pCi/m3 with a range of 0.010 to 0.036 pCi/m 3.
The results of the gross beta activities are presented in Table B-2. The gross beta activities for 1999 were comparable to levels 33

measured in the 1982-1998 period. Prior to that period the gross beta activities were higher due to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing performed in other countries. During the preoperational period of July 1, 1974 through March 31, 1978 gross beta activities ranged from a low of 0.005 pCi/m 3 to a high of 0.75 pCi/m 3.
Air particulate filters were composited by locations on a quarterly basis and were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy. The results are listed in Table B-3. Beryllium-7, which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation, was measured in all 48 composite samples. The average measurement for the control location was 0.084 pCi/m 3 with a range of 0.072 to 0.102 pCi/m 3. The indicator locations had an average concentration of 0.080 pCi/m 3 and a range of 0.055 to 0.119 pCi/m 3. During the preoperational period, beryllium-7 was measured at comparable levels, as would be expected. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was not detected in any control samples.
Potassium-40 was detected in nine indicator samples with an average concentration of 0.004 pCi/m3 and a range of 0.003 to 0.007 pCi/m 3. All other gamma emitters were below the detection limits. During the preoperational period gamma ray spectroscopy measured several fission products in numerous air particulate filters. All isotopes were attributed to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing conducted before the preoperational period. Among the isotopes measured were zirconium-95, ruthenium-103, ruthenium 106, cesium-137, cerium-141 and cerium-144.
The second quarter composites of air particulate filters from all twelve stations were analyzed for strontium-89 and 90. There was no detection of these fission products at any of the eleven indicator stations nor at the control station.
- 2.
Precipitation A sample of rainwater was collected monthly at station OIA, on site, 0.75 miles, 138 degrees SE and analyzed for gross beta activity. The February sample was not received at the lab. The results are presented in Table B-4. The average gross beta activity for 1999 in the 11 samples was 3.0 pCi/liter with a range from 1.4 to 6.5 pCi/liter. Semi annual composites were prepared and analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes and tritium.
Beryllium-7 was not detected during the semi-annual composite sample for the first half of 1999. All other gamma emitters were below their detection limits. Tritium was not detected in the semi-annual composite samples. These results were comparable to or lower than those measured in 1986 through 1998. During the preoperational period gross beta activity in rain water was expressed in pCi per square meter of the collector surface, 35
period, tritium was measured in over half of the few quarterly composites made. The tritium activity ranged from 100 to 330 pCi/liter.
- 3.
Soil Soil samples are collected every three years from twelve stations. They were collected and analyzed in 1998, therefore will not be collected during 1999.
B.
Waterborne Exposure Pathway
- 1.
Ground/Well Water Water was sampled quarterly from the on site well at the metrology laboratory. These samples were analyzed for gamma radiation and for tritium. The results are presented in Table B-6. No gamma emitting isotopes were detected during 1999. The second quarter sample was analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90. There were no detections of these isotopes above the detection level.
Tritium was also not measured above the detection level. No gamma emitting isotopes were detected during the preoperational period.
Tritium was measured in most of the samples during that period with concentrations between 80 and 370 pCi/liter.
- 2.
River Water A sample of water from the North Anna River was collected monthly at station 11, 5.8 miles downstream from the discharge lagoon, 128 degrees SSE. The results are presented in Table B-7.
The samples were analyzed by gamma spectroscopy monthly.
The samples were analyzed for tritium quarterly on a composite sample. The second quarter samples were analyzed in addition for strontium-89 and strontium-90.
Potassium-40 was not detected during 1999 and all other gamma emitters were below the detection level. No detections of strontium-89 or strontium-90 occurred. Tritium was measured in all four samples with an average level of 3350 pCi/liter and a range of 3000 to 3800 pCi/liter. This is higher than the average level measured in 1998 of 2433 pCi/liter and a range of 1900 to 3000 pCi/liter. No river water samples were collected during the preoperational period.
36
- 3.
Surface Water Samples of surface water were collected monthly from two stations. Station 08 is at the discharge lagoon, 1.1 miles, 148 degrees SSE on Lake Anna. Station 09A is located 12.9 miles WNW. The samples were analyzed for iodine-131 by radiochemical separation. No iodine was detected in the 24 samples analyzed. The results are presented in Table B-8.
The samples were also analyzed by gamma ray spectrometry. No gamma emitters were above their detection level at either sampling station.
A quarterly composite from each station was prepared and analyzed for tritium.
The tritium activity at station 08 for the quarterly composites was at an average level of 3975 pCi/liter with a range of 3300 to 4900 pCi/liter. Tritium was not detected at station 09A.
The tritium level had been increasing since the middle of 1978 when the average level was below 300 pCi/liter. However, during 1999 the results were within the same range as those measured in 1986 through 1998.
During the preoperational period tritium was measured in several samples with concentrations between 90 and 250 pCi/liter..
C.
Aquatic Exposure Pathway
- 1.
Sediment/Silt Sediment samples were collected during February and August from each of three locations and were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The results are presented in Table B-10.
One man-made and a number of naturally occurring radioisotopes were detected in these samples. Cesium-137 was detected in one sample with an activity of 142 pCi/kg (dry weight). The reading for cesium-137 was obtained from station 09A located 2.20 miles NW.
Naturally occurring potassium-40 was observed in all six samples with an average activity of 14750 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range from 10700 to 20800 pCi/kg (dry weight).
Radium-226 was measured in five of the six samples with an average concentration of 1940 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 1530 to 2410 pCi/kg (dry weight).
Also naturally occurring, thorium-228 was observed in all six samples with an average concentration of 1225 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 593 to 1890 pCi/kg (dry weight). The August samples were analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90. There were no detections of strontium-89 or strontium-90 in aquatic sediment/silt.

Shoreline Soil A sample of shoreline sediment was collected in February and August from station 08.
The samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectrometry. The results are presented in Table B-11. The naturally occurring nuclide potassium-40 was detected in both samples with an average activity of 1583 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 895to 2270 pCi/kg (dry weight). Cosmogenic beryllium-7 was not detected during 1999. Thorium-228 was detected in both samples at an average of 341 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 289 to 392 pCi/kg (dry weight). Radium-226 was detected in one sample with a concentration of 692 pCi/kg (dry weight). Cesium-137, a fission product, was not detected during 1999.

Milk The results of the iodine-131 analysis of milk samples are presented in Table B-12. A sample was collected monthly from two stations. A total of 24 samples were analyzed during 1999. There were no measurements of iodine-131 above the detection limits. The milk samples were also analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and the results are also presented in Table B-12. A total of 24 samples were analyzed. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was measured in all samples with an average of 1291 pCi/liter and a range of 1100 to 1470 pCi/liter. The fission product cesium-137 has been detected sporadically in recent years and the activity has been attributed to global fallout from past atmospheric weapons testing. However, cesium-137 was not detected at levels above LLD in any milk samples during 1999. All other gamma emitters were below their detection levels.
41
A quarterly composite was prepared from each of the two collection stations and analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90. Strontium-89 was not detected at levels above LLD in any of the samples monitored.
Strontium-90 was detected in all eight samples monitored with an average level of 1.28 pCi/liter and a range of 0.96 to 2.4 pCi/liter.
This is similar to activities determined in previous years and lower than the preoperational levels of 2.2 to 5.4 pCi/liter.
- 2.
Fish Aquatic biota can be sensitive indicators of radionuclide accumulation in the environment because of their ability to concentrate certain chemical elements which have radioactive isotopes. The results are presented in Table B-13. Eight samples of fish were collected during during 1999. These samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and the naturally occurring isotope potassium-40 was found in all samples at an average of 1289 pCi/kg (wet weight) with a range of 1000 to 1800 pCi/kg (wet weight). The fission product cesium-137 was measured in four samples an average activity of 37.8 pCi/kg (wet weight) and a range of 30.0 to 48.7 pCi/kg (wet weight). During the preoperational period cesium-137 was measured in one-fourth of the fish samples collected with concentrations between 31 and 66 pCi/kg (wet weight). All other gamma emitters were below their detection levels.

TLD Dosimeters Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) determine environmental radiation doses and the results are presented in Table B-15. Individual measurements of external radiation levels in the environs of the North Anna site had an average dose of 5.7 mRlstandard month with a range of 3.6 to 8.2 mR/standard month. This is comparable to the preoperational range. The control station, No. 24, had an average reading of 5.4 mR/standard month with a range of 4.6 to 6.1 mR/standard month.
Sector TLDs are deployed quarterly at thirty-two locations in the environs of the North Anna site. Two badges are placed at each location. The results are presented in Table B
- 16.
The average level of the 32 locations (two badges at each location) was 6.2 mR/standard month with a range of 3.6 to 9.5 mR/standard month. The eight control TLDs, collected quarterly from four locations, showed an average reading of 5.2 mR/standard month with a range of 3.4 to 7.1 mR/standard month.
During the preoperational period (starting in 1977), when the calculation of the TLD dose included a correction for the in-transit dose, the doses were measured between 4.3 and 8.8 mR/standard month.

V. CONCLUSIONS 45
V. Conclusions The results of the 1999 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the North Anna Nuclear Power Station and ISFSI have been presented. The following sections discuss each pathway individually followed by a program summary.
Airborne Exposure Pathway Air particulate gross beta concentrations of all the indicator locations for 1999 followed the gross beta concentrations at the control location.
The gross beta concentrations were comparable to levels observed since 1982 except for a five week period in 1987 which was influenced by the Chernobyl accident. Gross beta concentrations in the preoperational period were highly variable, ranging from 0.0043 to 0.75 pCi/CuM, due to occasional atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. Gamma isotopic analysis of the particulate samples identified the gamma emitting isotopes as natural products (beryllium-7 and potassium-40). There were no detections above the LLD for fission products nor other man-made isotopes in the particulate media during 1999.
Iodine-131 was not detected in the charcoal filters during 1999 except for one measurement at Station 03, 7.1 miles, 243 WSW during the last week of July with a marginally positive result of 0.026 pCi/CuM.
A precipitation sample was collected monthly during 1999 and analyzed for gross beta activity. All the gross beta activities were comparable to those measured in previous years.
During the preoperational period the average gross beta activity was 0.92 pCi/liter. Semi-annual composites were analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes and tritium. All gamma emitters were below their detection limits. Tritium was not observed above the LLD during this reporting period in 1999. During the preoperational period the average tritium activity was 165 pCi/liter.
Waterborne Exposure Pathway No man-made or natural isotopes were monitored in the surface water of Lake Anna except tritium. The average tritium activity during 1999 at the waste heat treatment facility was 3975 pCi/liter, which is 13.2% of the reporting level for a water sample. In 1998 the tritium level was 2675 pCi/liter. The preoperational level was 150 pCi/liter and has risen since 1977, though it has remained relatively consistent since 1986.

The Commonwealth of Virginia discontinued the state sampling program in the third quarter of 1998.
River water collected from the North Anna River, 5.8 miles downstream of the site had an average tritium level of 3350 pCi/liter. The average tritium in 1998 had been 2600 pCi/liter.
No gamma emitters were detected.
Ground water from the environmental well on site contained no gamma emitters. There were also no detections of tritium in ground/well water during 1999.
Aquatic Pathway Sediment/silt samples provide a sensitive indicator of discharges from nuclear power stations. The sediment from North Anna environmental samples indicated that one man-made isotope was present. Cesium-137 was detected in one sample at the control location. During the preoperational period, cesium-137 was measured in samples of aquatic sediment. Sediment contamination does not provide a direct dose pathway to man.
The samples of shoreline soil monitored downstream of the site contained no measurement of cesium-134. Cesium-137 was also not detected during 1999. Cesium-137 was measured during 1998 at an average of 276 pCi/kg.
Ingestion Pathway Iodine-131 was not detected in any of the twenty-four milk samples using the radiochemical separation method.
Although cesium-137 has been detected occasionally in previous years and attributed to past atmospheric nuclear weapons testing there were no detections during 1999. Strontium-90 was measured in all eight milk samples. Strontium-90 is attributed to past atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. No strontium-89 was detected in any of the milk samples. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was measured in all the milk samples at normal environmental levels.
Activity in fish and vegetation samples along with milk does present a direct dose pathway to man. Fish samples during 1999 showed the presence of one man-made isotope, cesium-137. This isotope was at an activity level somewhat higher than preoperational levels but statistically similar to levels in 1987 through 1998.
Only cesium-137 was measured in preoperational environmental fish samples.
Due to primary and secondary steam generator 47
problems experienced at North Anna during 1984/1985, a build up in activity levels both in effluents and fish did occur. Repairs to the steam generators and better liquid waste processing have reduced these activity levels in effluents and thus decreased activity levels are now being observed in the fish. The average level of activity during 1999 of cesium-137 was 1.9% of the reporting level.
One vegetation sample for the control station contained cesium-137 at a level of 50.5 pCi/kg. There were also four samples for the indicator stations that measured cesium-137 at an average level of 37.6 pCi/kg. Cesium-137 has been measured in the past and in preoperational samples.
Direct Exposure Pathway The direct exposure pathway as measured in the environment of the North Anna site by thermoluminescent dosimetry has remained essentially the same since the preoperational period in 1977 at 6 milliroentgens per month or 0.2 milliroentgens per day. The average dose levels monitored have shown a normal fluctuation about these levels which are less than the estimated whole body dose due to natural terrestrial and cosmic radiation and the internal dose from natural radionuclides.
Program Conclusions The results were as expected for normal environmental samples. Naturally occurring activity was observed in sample media in the expected activity ranges. Occasional samples of nearly all media showed the presence of man-made isotopes.
These have been discussed individually in the text.
Observed activities were at very low concentrations and had no significant dose consequence.
As a method of referencing the measured radionuclide concentrations in sample media to the dose consequence, the data may be compared to the Reporting Level Concentrations listed in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. These concentrations are based upon 25% of the annual dose commitment recommended by 10CFR50, Appendix I, to meet the criterion "As Low as is Reasonably Achievable." Based upon the evidence of the environmental monitoring program the station is operating within regulatory limits. Thus, no unusual radiological characteristics were observed in the environs of the North Anna Nuclear Power Station during 1999.

DETERMINATION OF GROSS BETA ACTIVITY IN WATER SAMPLES Introduction The procedures described in this section are used to measure the overall radioactivity of water samples without identifying the radioactive species present.
No chemical separation techniques are involved.
One liter of the sample is evaporated on a hot plate. A smaller volume may be used if the sample has a significant salt content as measured by a conductivity meter. If requested by the customer, the sample is filtered through No. 54 filter paper before evaporation, removing particles greater than 30 microns in size.
After evaporating to a small volume in a beaker, the sample is rinsed into a 2-inch diameter stainless steel planchette which is stamped with a concentric ring pattern to distribute residue evenly. Final evaporation to dryness takes place under heat lamps.
Residue mass is determined by weighing the planchette before and after mounting the sample.
The planchette is counted for beta activity on an automatic proportional counter.
Results are calculated using empirical self-absorption curves which allow for the change in effective counting efficiency caused by the residue mass.
Detection Capability Detection capability depends upon the sample volume actually represented on the planchette, the background and the efficiency of the counting instrument, and upon self absorption of beta particles by the mounted sample. Because the radioactive species are not identified, no decay corrections are made and the reported activity refers to the counting time.
The minimum detectable level (MDL) for water samples is nominally 1.6 picoCuries per liter for gross beta at the 4.66 sigma level (1.0 pCi/l at the 2.83 sigma level), assuming that 1 liter of sample is used and that 1 gram of sample residue is mounted on the planchette. These figures are based upon a counting time of 50 minutes and upon representative values of counting efficiency and background of 0.2 and 1.2 cpm, respectively.
The MDL becomes significantly lower as the mount weight decreases because of reduced self-absorption. At a zero mount weight, the 4.66 sigma MDL for gross beta is 0.9 picoCuries per liter. These values reflect a beta counting efficiency of 0.38.

ANALYSIS OF*SAMPLES FOR TRITIUM (Liquid Scintillation)

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR STRONTIUM-89 AND -90 Water Stable strontium carrier is added to 1 liter of sample and the volume is reduced by evaporation. Strontium is precipitated as Sr(N0 3)2 using nitric acid. A barium scavenge and an iron (ferric hydroxide) scavenge are performed followed by addition of stable yttrium carrier and a minimum of 5 day period for yttrium ingrowth. Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide, dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchette and is counted in a low level beta counter to infer Sr-90 activity. Strontium-89 activity is determined by precipitating SrCO 3 from the sample after yttrium separation. This precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchette and is covered with an 80 mg/cm 2 aluminum absorber for low level beta counting.
Milk Stable strontium carrier is added to I liter of sample and the sample is first evaporated, then ashed in a muffle furnace. The ash is dissolved and strontium is precipitated as phosphate, then is dissolved and precipitated as SrN03 using fuming (90%) nitric acid. A barium chromate scavenge and an iron (ferric hydroxide) scavenge are then performed. Stable yttrium carrier is added and the sample is allowed to stand for a minimum of 5 days for yttrium ingrowth. Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide, dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchette and is counted in a low level beta counter to infer Sr-90 activity.

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR IODINE-131 Milk or Water Two liters of sample are first equilibrated with stable iodide carrier. A batch treatment with anion exchange resin is used to remove iodine from the sample. The iodine is then stripped from the resin with sodium hypochlorite solution, is reduced with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and is extracted into carbon tetrachloride as free iodine. It is then back-extracted as iodide into sodium bisulfite solution and is precipitated as palladium iodide. The sodium bisulfite solution and is precipitated as palladium iodide. The precipitate is weighed for chemical yield and is mounted on a nylon planchette for low level beta counting. The chemical yield is corrected by measuring the stable iodide content of the milk or the water with a specific ion electrode.

GAMMA SPECTROMETRY OF SAMPLES Milk and Water A 1.0 liter Marinelli beaker is filled with a representative aliquot of the sample. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis.
Dried Solids Other Than Soils and Sediments A large quantity of the sample is dried at a low temperature, less than 100IC. As much as possible (up to the total sample) is loaded into a tared 1-liter Marinelli and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis.
Fish As much as possible (up to the total sample) of the edible portion of the sample is loaded into a tared Marinelli and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis.
Soils and Sediments Soils and sediments are dried at a low temperature, less than 100'C. The soil or sediment is loaded fully into a tared, standard 300 cc container and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately six hours with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height and analysis.
Charcoal Cartridges (Air Iodine)
Charcoal cartridges are counted up to five at a time, with one positioned on the face of a Ge(Li) detector and up to four on the side of the Ge(Li) detector. Each Ge(Li) detector is calibrated for both positions. The detection limit for 1-131 of each charcoal cartridge can be determined (assuming no positive 1-131) uniquely from the volume of air which passed through it. In the event 1-131 is observed in the initial counting of a set, each charcoal cartridge is then counted separately, positioned on the face of the detector.
Air Particulate The thirteen airborne particulate filters for a quarterly composite for each field station are aligned one in front of another and then counted for at least six hours with a shielded Ge(Li) 95
detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis.
A mini-computer software program defines peaks by certain changes in the slope of the spectrum.
The program also compares the energy of each peak with a library of peaks for isotope identification and then performs the radioactivity calculation using the appropriate fractional gamma ray abundance, half life, detector efficiency, and net counts in the peak region.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOSIMETRY Teledyne Brown Engineering uses a CaS04 :Dy thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) which the company manufactures. This material has a high light output, negligible thermally induced signal loss (fading), and negligible self dosing. The energy response curve (as well as all other features) satisfies NRC Reg. Guide 4.13. Transit doses are accounted for by use of separate TLDs.
Following the field exposure period the TLDs are placed in a Teledyne Brown Engineering Model 8300. One fourth of the rectangular TLD is heated at a time and the measured light emission (luminescence) is recorded. The TLD is then annealed and exposed to a known Cs-137 dose; each area is then read again. This provides a calibration of each area of each TLD after every field use. The transit controls are read in the same manner.

APPENDIX E INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM 98
INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) discontinued their Interlaboratory Comparison Program in December 1998.
Since the EPA is no longer involved in the program, there are no "approved" laboratories for Intercomparison Studies; however, Teledyne Brown Engineering participates in the Analytics, Inc. and Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) programs to the fullest extent possible. That is we participate in the program for all radioactive isotopes prepared and at the maximum frequency of availability.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the approval authority for laboratory providers participating in Intercomparison Study Programs; however, at this time, there are no approved laboratories for environmental and/or radiochemical isotope analyses.
The EPA Interlaboratory Comparison and Analytics tables for 1997 and 1998 have been included with this report since there were investigations still in progress when the REMP report for 1998 was submitted to the NRC.
Trending graphs are provided in this section for the EPA Program and for Analytics when there were at least two data points to plot.

(b)
Teledyne Results - Average +/- one sigma. Units are pCi/liter for water and milk except K is in mg/liter. Units are total pCi for air particulate filters.
(c)
Normalized deviation from the known.
(d)
Erroneously high reading of the stable iodine content by ion specific electrode occurred, causing an erroneously low chemical yield. If the electrode reading is ignored, the average I 131 result becomes 90 pCi/l, in good agreement with the given value. An erroneous electrode reading can be caused by certain chemical species in the sample, such as sulfide. We will investigate suspiciously high electrode readings by performing a gravimetric yield on the sample without the addition of iodide carrier or the 1-131 content of active samples can also be verified by performing a gamma spectral analysis.
(e)
An investigation discovered a low chemical yield on one sample and the loss of another during analysis. In the future we will repeat analyses of samples with yields less than 85%.
(f)
Error apparently caused by insufficient training. The strontium separation chemistry was performed on 7/22/97 by a summer employee. Initial results for the three samples did not agree well, so all were remilked by a senior analyst. This was insufficient to correct the problem. In-house QC samples showed satisfactory results at this time. Additional in-house analyses performed after retraining have been acceptable.
(g)
No apparent cause for the discrepancy could be identified.
Equipment calibrations and efficiencies for this analysis were within expected normal ranges.

(c)
Normalized deviation from the known.
(d)
The special EPA instructions concerning multiple evaporation with concentrated nitric acid (to purge chlorides derived from HC1 preservative) were omitted by oversight. The chlorides cause greater self absorption and lead to lower results.
Two additional aliquots using two evaporations with concentrated nitric acid were analyzed. The results, when corrected for decay of Gr-Beta, were 87 and 83 pCi/liter which compare favorably with the EPA result.
(e)
Weekly efficiency checks for the sample collect date (10/20/98) counted in December 1998, indicate that detectors were in compliance during that period of time. All detectors are calibrated using NIST traceable mixed gamma standards containing Cs137.
The Branching Intensity value used in the calculation by the EPA is not available for cross-reference checks.
(f)
The results of the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison Program, sample collect date 11/06/98, indicate a low bias for the Ba-133 result.
Weekly efficiency counts for our detectors were found to be in compliance during that period of time. One possible cause for the low bias may be the Branching Intensity value used in the calculation.
The EPA does not supply their values used to calculate activity.
If the Brookhaven or RadDecay Data Tables are used to supply the B.I. and Half-Life, the calculated results will fall within the acceptable range:

The original and repeat analysis data sheets for Sr-89 and Sr-90 have been reconstructed from information in the laboratory notebook and the counter printouts. This sample was originally analyzed in January 1999 (login IA004) and produced unacceptable radlostrontium results. The analysis was repeated in April 1999 using a smaller aliquot of 500 ml because 1000 ml was no longer available. The repeat analysis produced good results:

Teledyne Results - counting error is two standard deviations. Units are pCi/liter for water and milk. For gamma results, if two standard deviations are less than 10%, then a 10% error is reported. Units are total pCi for air particulate filters. Units are pCi/gram for Soil, which has been added to the program for 1999.

(c)
Ratio of Teledyne Brown Engineering to Analytics results. Acceptance criteria are based on USNRC acceptance criteria described in USNRC Procedure 84750 dated March 15, 1994.
(d)
A high Gross Alpha result was obtained because the calculation was mistakenly performed using Th-230 counting efficiency. If our normal Am-241 calibration were used, we would have reported 110 +- 10 pCi/L, which is an acceptable value.
(e)
Random or coincidental summing caused the problem. Two other energy lines can sum a peak on the same energy band causing more counts to be thrown in.
The key line was changed and the resulting value was 0.079, which is in agreement with Analytics.

Footnotes:
(a) The ERA Known Value is equal to 100% of the parameter present in the standard as determined by gravimetric and/or volumetric measurements made during standard preparation.
(b) Average +/- 1 sigma.
(c) Established per the guidelines contained in the EPA's National Standards for Water Proficiency Testing Criteria Document, December 1998, as applicable.
(d) Established per the guidelines contained in the EPA's National Standards for Water Proficiency Testing Criteria Document, December 1998, as applicable.
(e) Established per the guidelines contained in the EPA's National Standards for Water Proficiency Testing Criteria Document, December 1998, as applicable.
(f) A= Acceptable. Reported Result falls within the Warning Limits.
NA = Not Acceptable. Reported Result falls outside of the Control Limits.
CE = Check for Error. Reported Result falls within the Control Limits and outside of the Warning Limits.
(g)
A calculation error was made by not correcting for Ra-226 content. If this correction is made, an average result of 5.7 pCi/l is obtained which is in the acceptance region.
(h)
The low value is attributed to greater self-absorption characteristics of the sample matrix compared to those of the calibration matrix. This source of bias is often observed in gross alpha measurements, nevertheless, the average result is within the control region (but also in the warning region).

Interlaboratory Comparison Program 1997-1998 -1999 ADDENDUM
- 1.
Analysis of milk samples for Potassium (K) in the Interlaboratory Comparison Program (ICP) (1997-1999).
The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual lists the analyses to be performed for the Interlaboratory Comparison Program. The requirement for Milk - "K" cannot be met.
The EPA deleted the analysis of Milk samples from the Cross-Check program in 1996. Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services (TBEES) contracted with Analytics, Inc., to provide milk samples spiked with Sr-89/90, I 131, and other gamma emitters.
Although the results reported to Analytics included K-40, this radionuclide was not evaluated by Analytics.
Subsequent analyses of Analytics milk samples were not evaluated for K-40 also. Analytics has indicated that the accuracy of the potassium measurement cannot be determined with a sufficiently high degree of integrity to permit its' use as a proficiency test radionuclide.
- 2.
Analysis of milk samples for Strontium (Sr) 89 and 90 (1998).
The VEPCO contract requires TBE to perform interlaboratory crosschecks of these analyses.
TBE presumed, erroneously, that we were meeting the requirements of the contract.
- 3.
Analysis of air filter samples for Strontium 90, Gross Beta (1998 - 1999).
The VEPCO contract requires TBEES to perform interlaboratory crosschecks of these analyses.
TBEES erroneously presumed they were meeting the requirements of the contract
- 4.
Analysis for Milk 131, Gamma, Strontium 89 and 90 (1999).
The VEPCO contract requires TBE to perform interlaboratory crosschecks of these analyses.
TBEES erroneously presumed they were meeting the requirements of the contract
- 5.
Methodology and results of the LCP - Analytics (vendor) not in TBEES QC Manual.
This requires documentation revision. This issue will be addressed in the year 2000 with the entire implementation of the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP). Revisions of controlled documentation will be distributed to the appropriate control officers at the power plant stations as outlined in the contract.
- 6.
Trend Data of Cross-Check Program (ICP) (1997-1999)
Graphs of data have been updated in the report. Data in which there is only one data point have not been graphed, since there are no trends apparent to the upper and lower control limits. Therefore, one-point data information has no real value.
107
- 7.
Corrective Actions to prevent non-compliance of the Interlaboratory Comparison Program (1999).
The remaining requirements for Water and Air Filters were supported by TBEES' Vendor Interlaboratory Comparison Program. Analyses of Air Filters for Sr-90 and Gross Beta analyses were not performed in the 1999 Analytics studies.
TBEES ordered ICP studies based on workload for the entire laboratory operations and did not take into account the specific contract requirements for VEPCO. Corrective actions include the following:
"* The VEPCO contract with TBEES was revised to include the specific media and analysis requirements for the ICP.
"* TBEES' 2000 Performance Testing (PT) Programs will meet the VEPCO contract requirements. Vendor (Analytics and Environmental Resource Associates) contracts have been revised and implemented for the year 2000.
"* The potassium analysis requirement for milk was eliminated from the ICP since it is a primordial element and not associated with nuclear power plant effluents.
"* An ICP checklist has been included in the North Anna Power Station procedure for generating the Radiological Environmental Operating Report (REOR). This checklist ensures all ICP elements are assessed prior to submitting the REOR to the NRC.
"* The requirement to maintain the methodology and results of the ICP in a QC manual has been eliminated as it is not a requirement of Branch Technical Position, November
- 1979, Revision 1, An Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
"* VEPCO will perform an audit of TBEES in the year 2000.
