MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER STATION ESTIMATED DOSE REPORT FOR 2005
1.0 INTRODUCTION
As of mid-year, 2005, the Maine Yankee "plant" had been fully demolished, and the decommissioning of the non-Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSI) lands passed a final status survey for unrestricted use. Consequently, the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) was amended (Change 31, Reference 4) at the end of the site decommissioning activities to reflect that only the direct radiation from the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation remains as a potential source of radiation in the environment. In early October, 2005, the NRC notified Maine Yankee that they had accepted that the former power plant site had been successfully decommissioned in accordance with NRC procedures. As a result, the NRC amended Maine Yankee's license reducing the land under license from approximately 179 acres (former plant proper) to the 12 acre Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation. The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, and the design of the Vertical Concrete Casks (VCC's) which store the stations spent nuclear fuel, is approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and considered to be leak tight as defined in ANSI N 14.5-1997.
This report summarizes the radiological dose commitments resulting from all radioactive effluent discharges during the first half 2005 prior to completion of decommissioning. The off-site doses presented by calendar quarter in Table 1were determined from primary effluent data sets, which are summarized and reported to the NRC in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2005.
For the purposes of demonstrating compliance with 40CFR190, "Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations," radiation dose estimates must include direct radiation contributions from significant plant sources. Data from available thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) in the on-site area around the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation were evaluated for potential direct /
scatter dose contributions to members of the public off-site to determine compliance with the 40CFR 190 dose limits.
Dose commitments from the discharge of radioactive liquid (no recorded gaseous effluents for the report period) were estimated in accordance with the "Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station Off-Site Dose Calculation Manual" (ODCM), and are reported herein as required by ODCM Appendix C.3 (Reference 1).
These dose estimates were developed using a "Method II" analysis as described in the ODCM. The Method II analysis incorporates the methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.109 (Reference 2).
All calculated pathway doses for this reporting period are well below the dose criteria of 10CFR50, Appendix I, and the dose limits for effluent releases stated in the Maine Yankee ODCM. In addition, the total dose to the most limiting member of the public due to the combined exposure to plant-related direct radiation and site effluents was below the dose standards of 40CFR190.
2.0 METEOROLOGICAL DATA With the permanent shutdown of the plant in 1997 and subsequent decommissioning process of Maine Yankee, the generation of gaseous fission and activation products and operation of the batch gas process system ended prior to this reporting period. The site's meteorological tower was taken out of service in 2000. The tower instrumentation had been designed to meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.23 (Reference 3) for meteorological monitoring.
In accordance with A.3 of the Maine Yankee Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), historical meteorological data collected from the site's former 200-foot meteorological tower are provided in Tables A through H. This historical data is presented in the form of cumulative joint frequency distributions for wind speed, direction, and stability class for the calendar years 1986 -1990 Wind rose patterns for all stability classes for the same period are illustrated on Figures I and 2.
There were no recorded site gaseous or airborne effluents for the report period requiring application of airborne dispersion and deposition estimates.
3.0 DOSE ASSESSMENT 3.1 Doses from Liquid Effluents ODCM Section 2.1.4 limits total body and organ doses from liquid effluents to members of the public in unrestricted areas to those values specified in I0CFR Part 50, Appendix I. The limit for total body dose is 1.5 mrem per calendar quarter, and 3 mrem per calendar year. The limit for organ doses is 5 mrem per calendar quarter and 10 mrem per calendar year. By implementing the requirements of 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I, ODCM Section 2.1.4 assures that the release of radioactive material in liquid effluents will be kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."
Potential exposure pathways associated with liquid effluents from Maine Yankee are ingestion of fish/shellfish and direct exposure from shoreline sedimentation. The drinking water and irrigation pathways do not exist due to the saltwater nature of the receiving water estuary.
The calculated doses from liquid effluents incorporate near-field mixing in an area of the estuary (approximately 13 acres) originally credited to the plant's effluent releases for doses due to ingestion of fish, shellfish, and shoreline exposures. Table 3 lists the usage factors by age group and pathway that were applied to liquid effluent.
The whole body and organ doses resulting from liquid effluent discharges are the summations of dose contributions via all active exposure pathways for each release during the reporting period. Table I presents the maximum whole body and organ doses from liquid effluents to a member of the public. The estimated quarterly and annual doses resulting from liquid effluent discharges are well below the IOCFR50, Appendix I dose criteria.
3.2 Doses from Noble Gases During the time of effluent releases prior to this reporting period (2005), the ODCM limited the gamma air dose and beta air dose from noble gases released in gaseous effluents from the site to areas at and beyond the site boundary to those values specified in IOCFR50, Appendix I. The limit for gamma air doses was 5 mrad per calendar quarter and 10 mrad per year. The limit for beta air doses was 10 mrad per calendar quarter and 20 mrad per year. By implementing the requirements of IOCFR50, Appendix L the releases of radioactive noble gases in gaseous effluents had been kept "as low as is reasonably achievable."
During the first half of 2005 the plant site was in the final stages of decommissioning. All sources of noble gas effluents had been eliminated prior to the start of 2005. Therefore, there were no noble gases released from the site to the environment in this reporting period and as a result, no calculated dose impact.
3.3 Doses from Tritium and Radionuclides in Particulate Form During the time of effluent releases prior to this reporting period (2005), the ODCM implemented the limits on organ doses established in 10CFR50 Appendix I, which assured that the releases of iodines, tritium and particulates in gaseous effluent had been kept "as low as is reasonably achievable." Organ doses to individuals located at or beyond the site boundary as a result of tritium and particulate-form radionuclides (with half-lives greater than 8 days) in gaseous effluent were limited to 7.5 mrem per quarter and 15 mrem per year doses.
As with noble gases, all measurable sources of airborne tritium and particulate radioactivity had been eliminated prior to the start of the reporting period. Therefore, there were no recorded airborne tritium and particulate radioactivity released from the site to the environment in 2005 up to the time of completion of the decommissioning process, and as a result, no calculated dose impact.
3.4 Total Dose (Liquid, Gaseous and Direct External Radiation)
The annual (calendar year) total dose or dose commitment to any member of the public due to releases of radioactivity and direct radiation from fixed sources are limited to the EPA's radiation protection standards for the uranium fuel cycle (40CFR190). The dose limits are set to less than or equal to 25 mrem per year to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid, which is limited to less than or equal to 75 mrem per year.
Direct external dose from fixed sources of radioactive materials on-site were estimated from Maine Yankee's 2005 environmental TLD data. In prior years when there were fixed radiation sources associated with the plant, TLD data around the site indicated that members of the public on mud flats in Bailey's Cove could receive a small dose that needed to be accounted for. With the plant site in the final stages of remediation and decommissioning in 2005, all significant sources of fixed radiation on the plant proper had been removed, thereby eliminating direct dose impacts on the mudflats.
For the ISFSI, a series of TLDs have been located on-site in each of the sixteen compass sectors within 340 meters of the center of the facility. An assessment of the ISFSI quarterly TLD data trends from before any radioactive materials were placed into storage, through the fourteen month transfer period of materials onto the ISFSI, and following completion of all transfers, including the first half of 2005, was performed. Most of the TLD locations indicate little or no significant change in exposure rate from the pre-operational period to the current period in 2005. However, three on-site locations do appear to reflect some increase from the pre-operational conditions. Two of these locations are bordered by a water boundary (Back River) to the ISFSI site area. The third location is well within the site property and is the closest environmental TLD to the storage pad in any of the sixteen sectors. All three locations are at about half the distance or less to the ISFSI as the nearest property line bordered by land. None of the three locations are near a site property line which could be occupied by members of the public on a continuous basis. The closest site boundary bordered by land to the ISFSI is about 1100 feet from the center of the facility in the NE and ENE sectors, with the nearest real resident approximately twice this distance. The TLD history for the closest land site boundaries did not show any significant change in exposure rate from the pre-operational period through the full ISFSI configuration into 2005. With no changes in the configuration of the full ISFSI until such time that materials are shipped from the site, it is not anticipated that any change in the current trends of TLD response will be observed. Therefore, it is concluded that there is no measurable or significant direct dose to any offsite member of the public from the ISFSI in 2005.
Table 2 lists the dose contribution from each component (direct, liquid and gas) to the total body, maximum organ, and thyroid for the hypothetical limiting member of the public located on the nearest site boundary to the ISFSI pad.
