I
Radiological Monitoring Program 2.1 Introduction This report presents an analysis of the results of the REMP conducted during 2001 for Union Electric Company, Callaway Plant.
The radiological environmental monitoring program began in April 1982.
The objectives of the REMP are to monitor potential critical pathways of radioeffluent to man and determine the radiological impact on the environment caused by operation of Callaway Plant.
Callaway Plant consists of one 1239 MWe pressurized water reactor, which achieved initial criticality on October 2, 1984. The plant is located on a plateau approximately ten miles southeast of the City of Fulton in Callaway County, Missouri and approximately eighty miles west of the St. Louis metropolitan area. The Missouri River flows by the site in an easterly direction approximately five miles south of the site at its closest point.
2.2 Program Design The sample locations, frequency of sampling and sample analysis requirements originate from the Callaway Plant Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual, DNR Missouri State Operating Permit and continuation of the Callaway Plant Pre-Operational Environmental Monitoring Program.
Samples are collected from waterborne, airborne, ingestion and direct radiation pathways. The types of sample media collected are: milk, surface water, groundwater, shoreline sediment, bottom sediment, soil, wetlands, fish, vegetation, airborne particulate, airborne radioiodine and direct radiation (TLD).
Indicator samples are collected from locations, which could be influenced by plant effluents. Control samples are collected at locations that are not significantly affected by plant operation.
Samples are collected by Union Electric personnel or contractors to Union Electric and shipped to Environmental, Inc. Mid West Laboratory for analysis.
The data is reported monthly and summarized in the annual report. TLD's are analyzed by Union Electric personnel.
2.3 Program Description Sample locations for the REMP are shown in Figures I, and II. Table I identifies the location code, description and sample type. Table II specifies the collection frequency and required analysis.

Radiological Monitoring Program Continued 2.4 Sampling Program Execution and Results 2.4.1 Program Modifications and Exceptions During 2001 no significant changes were made to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program was executed as described in the ODCM with any exceptions listed in this report.
2.4.2 Detection and Reporting Limits Table III gives the required detection limits for radiological environmental sample analysis. For each sample type, the table lists the detection level for each isotope.
The lower limit of detection (LLD) used in this report is described in NRC Regulatory Guide 4.1 Rev.
1, "Program for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants" and the NRC Branch Technical Position, November 1979, "An Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program".
Positive sample results are reported with a 2 sigma counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95%
confidence level). In cases where the activity is found to be below the sample analysis minimum detection level it is reported as Not Detected.

Radiological Monitoring Program Continued 2.4.3 Quality Control Program The contractor laboratory (Environmental, Inc.
Midwest Laboratory) maintains a quality control (QC) program in accordance with Regulatory Guide 4.15. The Program includes laboratory procedures designed to prevent cross-contamination and ensure accuracy and precision of analyses. QC checks include blind samples, duplicate samples, and spiked samples as necessary to verify laboratory analysis activities are being maintained at a high level of accuracy.
The contractor laboratory participates in the Department of Energy's Environmental Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML), Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP) and Environmental Resource Associates (ERA). The results of these crosscheck programs are presented in Section 2.6.
The Callaway Plant Personnel Dosimetry program is certified by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Environmental TLD Program has demonstrated compliance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 4.13. Quality control checks are performed including blanks, blind samples, daily performance checks and quarterly crosschecks.
2.4.4 Data Interpretations Sample analysis results are evaluated to determine if the result was due to the operation of the Callaway Plant or other sources.
One evaluation method used is the indicator-control concept. Most sample types are collected at both indicator (areas potentially affected by plant operations) and control locations (areas not significantly affected by plant discharge). A possible plant effect would be indicated if the detected level at an indicator location was statistically larger than at the control location.
Another method involves determining if the result originated from weapons testing. The indicator or control sample result can be compared to established environmental levels produced from weapons testing.
Sample results can also be compared with preoperational levels or samples collected in other parts of the country. Results can also be related to events known to have caused elevated levels of radiation in the environment.
2.4.5 Waterborne Pathway Surface Water Analysis Tritium: A 60-70 ml aliquot of water is purified by distillation. A portion of the distillate is transferred to a counting vial and scintillation fluid added. The contents of the vial are thoroughly mixed and counted in a liquid scintillation counter.
Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Monthly composite samples of surface water from the Missouri River are collected from one indicator location (S02) and from one control location (SO 1) and shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for analyses..
Results The indicator water sampler (S02) was operational 60% of the time during 2001. This sampler is checked daily. Immediate action is taken to place the sampler back in service when a problem is identified. If the sampler cannot be returned to service, daily grab 12
Radiological Monitoring Program Continued Sampling of the Missouri River is accomplished using an automated compositor. Samples are collected on an hourly basis and mixed to make the monthly composite sample.
River sampling verifies that Callaway Plant discharges meet stringent regulatory requirements.
samples are obtained.
CAR 200102965 documents the details of the operational problems and corrective actions taken.
Operational problems included timer and pump failure, clogged suction pipe, electric power outages and low river water levels. Corrective actions taken were 1) installation of remote indication equipment which allows for closer monitoring of compositor operation 2) the pump used to transport water from the river to the compositor was upgraded 3) a review was conducted on sample pump preventative maintenance and modifications made to improve performance 4) an additional extension was added to the suction piping to prevent failure due to low river water 5) the priority to perform work on the sampler was increased.
The control water sampler (SO 1) was operational 93%
of the time during 2001. This sampler is checked weekly. Immediate action is taken to place the sampler back in service when a problem is identified. If the sampler cannot be returned to service, daily grab samples are obtained. Operational problems included a breaker trip, repairs at the Intake Structure that down powered the sampler and a burnt out pump. The sampler was out of service for one day on 3/10/01 before the failure was identified. The sampler was returned to service on 3/11i
- 01. This event is documented on CAR 200101012.
Tritium was the only radionuclide detected in surface water samples collected during 2001. Four of twelve samples collected at indicator location S02 contained measurable levels of tritium with a mean concentration of 317 pCi/l. This is < 1% of the reporting limit for tritium in surface water. CARS 200100164, 200101268, 200102968 and 200103898 were initiated to trend the positive results.
The quantity of tritium measured at the indicator station is well within regulatory requirements. These results are inside the range of previous operational levels. There was no significant radiological impact on the health and safety of the public or the environment.
The gamma analysis results for surface water samples were consistent with previously accumulated data and no plant operational effects were identified.
Ground Water Analysis Tritium: A 60-70 ml aliquot of water is purified by distillation. A portion of the distillate is transferred to a counting vial and scintillation fluid added. The contents of the vial are thoroughly mixed and counted in a liquid scintillation counter.
Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Ground water samples are collected quarterly from two sampling wells (F05 and F 15) and one drinking water well (DO 1). The well samples are collected using an 13
Radiological Monitoring Program Continued electric pump that is located in the well. The drinking water sample is collected from a faucet after allowing the line to flush for two minutes. Samples are shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for analyses.
Results The analysis results for all ground water samples were consistent with previously accumulated data and no plant operational effects were identified.
Bottom Sediment Analysis Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Bottom sediment samples are collected semiannually from one indicator location (C) and one control location (A). The samples are taken from water at least 2 meters deep to prevent influence of bank erosion. A Ponar dredge is used to obtain the samples, consisting of the uppermost layer of sediment. Each sample is placed, without preservative, in a plastic bag, sealed and shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for analyses.
Results The analysis results for bottom sediment samples were consistent with previously accumulated data including pre-operation and no plant operational effects were identified.
Shoreline Sediment Analysis Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and Shoreline sediment samples are collected two feet from the edge of the water in the same location as the bottom sediment samples. Sediment samples indicate there has been no impact on the environment from the Callaway Plant liquid discharge.
specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Shoreline sediment samples are collected semiannually in the same area as bottom sediment. The samples are collected within two feet of the edge of the water and consist of 2 six-inch diameter by two-inch deep sediment plugs. Each sample is placed in a plastic bag, sealed and shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for analyses.
Results The analysis results for shoreline sediment samples 14
Radiological Monitoring Program Continued were consistent with previously accumulated data including pre-operation and no plant operational effects were identified.
Wetlands Soil Analysis Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Wetlands soil samples are collected annually from 3 indicator locations (W2, W3, and W4) and one control location (Wi). Two 6-inch square soil plugs consisting of the uppermost two-inch layer of soil are taken at each location. The samples are placed in plastic bags, sealed and shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Labora tory for analyses.
Results Cs-137 was detected in the Wetlands soil samples.
Station W2 indicated 165 pCi/kg dry, Station W3 indicated 101 pCi/kg dry and Station W4 indicated 91 pCi/kg dry.
The analysis results for Wetlands soil samples were consistent with previously accumulated data and no plant operational effects were identified. The Cs-137 activity is due to worldwide fallout from atmospheric nuclear testing.
2.4.6 Airborne Pathway Airborne Analysis Gross Beta: The filters are analyzed approximately five days after collection to allow for decay of natural short-lived radionuclides. The glass fiber type filter is placed into a stainless steel planchet and counted for gross beta radioactivity using a proportional counter.
Iodine: Each Charcoal cartridge is placed on the germanium detector and counted. A peak of 0.36 MeV is used to calculate the concentration at counting time.
The equilibrium concentration at the end of collection is then calculated. Decay correction for the time interval between sample collection and counting is then made.
Gamma Spectrometry: Filters are composited according to location and counted using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based multichannel analyzer. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by computer and specific nuclides, if present, identified and quantified.
Sampling and Frequency Airborne particulate samples are collected on a 47mm diameter glass fiber filter type A/E (99 percent removal efficiency at 1 micron particulate) at a volumetric rate of one and one-half cubic feet per minute at five locations.
Each airborne particulate air sampler is equipped with a charcoal cartridge filter in-line after the particulate filter holder.
The filters are collected weekly and shipped to Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for analyses.
All five sample locations are considered indicator locations (Al, A7, A8, A9, and B3). One indicator station (A9) is located at the community with the highest D/Q.
Results Air stations A-8, B-3 and A-7 were operational 100%
of the time during 2001.
Station A-I was operational 98.6% of the year. The sampler had a timer failure during the week of 9-12 (CAR 200105776). The timer was replaced. A high flowrate was discovered for the sample collected during 15
Radiological Monitoring Program Continued Airborne samples are continuously collected. Particulates are gathered on a glass fiber filter. A charcoalfilter is in line after the particulate filter to collect iodines. Air samples indicate the Callaway Plant has had no impact on the surrounding environment.
the week of 9/6. This caused additional sample to be collected for the time period, which made the analysis conservative (CAR 200105612).
Station A-9 was operational 98% of the year. The particulate filter for Station A-9 collected during the week of 9-20 was lost in transit to the vendor laboratory.
The cause for the lost sample could not be identified.
Plant and vendor laboratory personnel were coached to increase attention to detail when handling samples (CAR 200105974). This Air Station lost four hours of operational time during the week of 8/23 when the power pole was replaced.
Air Station A-7 had a dogged flow meter which caused a low flow reading for the week of 9-20 The clog was caused by dirt that entered through a loose fitting.
The fitting was replaced (CAR 200107910).
Gross beta activity ranged from 0.006 to 0.054 pCi/
m3 in all samples. The average gross beta activity at all locations was 0.023 pCi/m 3. During 2001 there were 15 weekly samples with gross beta activities greater then the baseline action level of 0.037 pCi/m3. Gamma spectral analysis was performed on these filters and no gamma emitting isotopes of plant origin was detected.
The analysis results for airborne samples are consistent with previously accumulated data and no plant operational effects were identified.
2.4.7 Ingestion Pathway Milk Analysis Iodine-131: Two liters of milk containing standardized Iodine carrier is stirred with anion exchange resin for one hour. The resin is washed with NaCl and the iodine is eluted with sodium hypochlorite. Iodine in the iodate form is reduced to I2 and the elemental iodine extracted into CCI4, back-extracted into water, then precipitated as palladium iodide. The precipitate is counted for 1-131 using a proportional counter.
Gamma Spectrometry: An aliquot of milk is placed in a standard counting container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency When available, two-gallon milk samples are collected semimonthly during the pasture season (April through September) and monthly during the winter from one cow milk location near the Plant M6 and one cow milk location away from the Plant M8. Milk samples are shipped in ice to Environmental, Inc.,
Midwest Laboratory for analyses within eight days after collection.

a standard quarter of 90 days.
Sampling and Frequency Thermoluminescent Dosimetry (TLD) is used to determine direct radiation levels in and around the Callaway site. Forty-three dosimeters are placed in 16 sectors around the plant as specified in the ODCM. The dosimeters are read once per quarter. Three locations are designated as controls (IDM-26, IDM-27 and IDM-60).
Results Direct Radiation data was unavailable due to vandalism at location IDM-6 and IDM-21 during the first quarter and IDM-14 and 3 la during the second quarter. IDM-5 had to be replaced after the first 13 days of the second quarter due to vandalism.
The analysis results for TLD samples were consistent with previously accumulated data and no plant operational effects were identified.
Soil Analysis Gamma Spectrometry: A suitable aliquot of prepared sample is placed in a standard calibrated container and specific nuclides are identified and quantified using a germanium detector coupled to a computer based, multichannel analyzer.
Sampling and Frequency Soil samples are collected annually from four indicator locations (F2, PR3, F6, and PR7) and one control location (V3). To ensure only the most recent deposition is sampled, the uppermost two-inch layer of soil is taken at each location. Samples consist of 2 six-inch square soil plugs. The litter at the surface and the root mat is considered part of the sample. The samples are placed in plastic bags, sealed and shipped to Environmental, Inc.,
Midwest Laboratory for analyses.
Results Cs-137 was detected in the soil samples. Control station V3 indicated 220 pCi/kg dry while the highest indicator station indicated 913 pCi/l dry.
The analysis results for soil samples were consistent with previously accumulated data including pre operation and no plant operational effects were identified. The Cs-137 activity is due to worldwide fallout from atmospheric nuclear testing.

Radiological Monitoring Program Continued 2.5 Land Use Census The Land Use Census is performed annually during the growing season within a five-mile radius of the Callaway Plant. The location of the nearest resident, milking animal and garden greater then 50 square meters is identified in each of the sixteen meteorological sectors.
The AmerenUE Real Estate Department conducted the 2001 Land Use Census during November.
Information was collected by contacting residents by phone and conducting field surveys.
Results The results of the 2001 Land Use Census are presented in Table IV. The table includes radial direction and distance from the Callaway Plant for each location. These parameters were determined using a combination of map position, aerial photography and Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver.
Nearest Resident The distance of the nearest resident with the highest D/Qwas unchanged for 2001. This resident lives 1.8 miles from the plant in the NNW sector.
Milking Animals Milking animals were identified in the SW sector.
Milk is not collected for human consumption at this location. The owners did not want to participate in a sampling program. The owners of milking animals in the SSE sector indicated they would participate in the sampling program. This location will be pursued for the 2002 sample program.
Vegetable Gardens A volunteer in the SE sector had a higher average ground level D/Q then the current participants. This location will be pursued for the 2002 sample program.
Changes were identified for the nearest garden in the following sectors: E, ESE, SE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, NE, andW.

Radiological Monitoring Program Continued 2.7 Data Reporting Conventions Lower Limit of Detection The lower limit of detection (LLD) used in this report is per NRC Regulatory Guide 4.1, Rev. 1, "Program for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants", and the NRC Branch Technical Position, November 1979, "An Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program". The LLD is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactivity material in a sample that will yield a net count (above system background) that will be detected with 95% probability with only 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
The maximum LLDs for radiological environmental sample analysis is presented in Table III.
Data Reporting Positive sample results are reported with a 2 sigma counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95%
confidence level). In cases where the activity is found to be below the sample analysis minimum detection activity it is reported as Not Detected (ND).
2.8 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Annual Summary The REMP Summary is presented in Table VI With the exception of a small indication of tritium in river water, there was no measurable impact on the environment due to plant operation.

Non-Radiological Monitoring Program 3.1 Introduction Union Electric Company, d.b.a. AmerenUE, in accordance with federal regulations and a desire to maintain the quality of the local environment around Callaway Plant has implemented an Environmental Protection Plan, (EPP) contained in Appendix B of the Callaway Plant Operating License.
The objective of the EPP is to provide for protection of non-radiological environmental values during operation of the Callaway Plant.
This report describes the conduct of the EPP for the Callaway Plant during 2001.
3.2 Unusual or Important Events No unusual or important events reportable under the EPP Section 4.1 were identified during 2001.
3.3 EPP Noncompliances During 2001 there were no noncompliances with the EPP 3.4 Nonroutine Reports There were no nonroutine reports submitted in accordance with the EPP, Section 5.4.2 in 2001.
3.5 Plant Design and Operation Environmental Evaluations.
This section lists all changes in the plant design, operation, tests or experiments completed during 2000, which could have involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question in accordance with section 3.1 of Appendix B.
During 2001, there was one plant design and operation change that could have involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental question. The interpretations and conclusions regarding this plant change along with a description of the change are presented below.
Callaway Temporary Modification TM 01-0009 Revision 0 Description of Change:
Temporary modification TM 01-0009 installed a NUKEM Ultra-Filtration Demin Skid in the liquid radwaste system. This filtration and demineralization treatment system is used to treat liquid radwaste. This system is being evaluated and it may replace the second ary liquid waste evaporator.
Evaluation of Change:
The decontamination factors for processing liquid radwaste with the temporary NUKEM equipment are not currently known. However, all effluents from this treatment system will be routed to the discharge monitor tanks where each tank will be sampled and analyzed to ensure all limits are met prior to discharge. This includes NPDES limits as well as radiological limits including 10 CFR 50 requirements. During the trial period, the NUKEM equipment will be evaluated to determine decontamination factors for radionuclides as well as for conventional pollutants. Should additional treatment be necessary, the waste stream can be routed to current processing equipment or back to the NUKEM equip ment for further treatment. This temporary modifica tion will not significantly affect the concentrations, frequencies or types of effluent being discharged from the plant, and does not affect the current plant power level. Therefore, this change does not constitute an unreviewed environmental question per Section 3.1 of appendix B to the Callaway Plant Operating License.
