1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, during the period January - December, 2005.

This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the Plant on its surroundings.

Tabulation of the individual analyses made during the year are not included in this report.

These data are included in a reference document (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2006a) available at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.

The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is a boiling water reactor with a nominal generating capacity of 620 MWe. It is located on the Mississippi River in Wright County, Minnesota, and operated by Nuclear Management Company, LLC. Initial criticality was achieved on December 10, 1970. Full power was achieved March 5, 1971 and commercial operation began on June 30, 1971.

SUMMARY

The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is described. Results for the year 2005 are summarized and discussed.

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

No effect on the environment due to the operation of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is indicated.

3.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP) 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is to assess the impact of the Plant on its environment. For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radioactive content. In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's).

Sources of environmental radiation include the following:

(1) Natural background radiation arising from cosmic rays and primordial radionuclides; (2) Fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations; (3) Releases from nuclear power plants; (4) Industrial and medical radioactive waste; and (5) Fallout from nuclear accidents.

In interpreting the data, effects due to the Plant must be distinguished from those due to other sources.

A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the Monticello Plant which is based on the indicator-control concept. Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant, upwind, or upstream). A plant effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location. The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources.

An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in environmental samples collected from the Plant site. The Plant's monitoring program includes analyses for tritium and iodine-131. Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified: zirconium-95, cesium-137, cerium-144, beryllium-7, and potassium-40. The first three gamma-emitting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that produced by a nuclear detonation.

Each of the three isotopes is produced in roughly equivalent amounts by a reactor: each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission products 10 days after reactor shutdown. On the other hand, 10 days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1:0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963). Beryllium-7 is of cosmogenic origin and potassium-40 is a naturally-occurring isotope. They were chosen as calibration monitors and should not be considered as radiological impact indicators. The other group quantified consists of niobium-95, ruthenium-103 and -106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141. These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing. Nuclides of the final group, manganese-54, iron-59, cobalt-58 and -60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products. They are typical components of a nuclear power plant's effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.

Proaram Desion and Data Interpretation (continued)

Other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation are employed in interpreting the data. Current radiation levels are compared with previous levels, including those measured before the plant became operational. Results of the Plant's Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world. Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.2 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Plant is summarized in Table 5.1 and briefly reviewed below. Table 5.2 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.1 and specifies for each location its type (indicator or control) and its distance, direction, and sector relative to the plant site. To assure that sampling is carried out in a reproducible manner, detailed sampling procedures have been prescribed (Monticello Generating Plant REMP Surveillances, Current Revision). Maps of sampling locations are included in Appendix D.

To monitor the air environment, airborne particulates are collected on membrane filters by continuous pumping at five locations. Also, airborne iodine is collected by continuous pumping through charcoal filters at all of these locations. Filters are changed and counted weekly.

Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-131. Quarterly composites of particulate filters from each location are determined by gamma spectroscopy. One of the five locations is a control (M-1), and four are indicators (M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5). One of the indicators is located in the geographical sector expected to be most susceptible to any atmospheric emissions from the Plant (highest D/Q sector).

Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at forty locations, using CaSO 4 :Dy dosimeters with four sensitive areas at each location: fourteen in an inner ring in the general area of the site boundary, sixteen in the outer ring within 4-5 mile radius, six at special interest locations and four control locations, outside a 10 mile radius from the plant. They are replaced and measured quarterly. An emergency set of TLDs is placed in the field along side of the regular set. The emergency TLDs are returned to EIML quarterly for annealing and repackaging.

Milk samples are collected monthly from three farms (two indicator and one control). There are currently only two milk producers within the indicator area. Milk is collected biweekly during the growing season (May - October), because the milk animals may be on pasture. All samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes.

Leafy green vegetables (cabbage) are collected annually from the highest D/Q garden and a control location and analyzed for iodine-131. Corn and potatoes are collected annually only if the field is irrigated by water in which liquid radioactive effluent has been discharged. Analysis is for gamma-emitting isotopes.

The terrestrial environment is also monitored by the quarterly collections of well water from four locations. Samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting isotopes.

River water is collected weekly at two locations, one upstream of the plant and one downstream.

Monthly composites are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.

Proaram Description (continued)

Drinking water is collected weekly from the City of Minneapolis water supply, which is taken from the Mississippi River downstream of the Plant. Monthly composites are analyzed for gross beta, iodine-131, and gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.

The aquatic environment is also monitored by semi-annual upstream and downstream collections of fish, invertebrates, and shoreline sediments. Shoreline sediment is also collected semi-annually from one downstream recreational location. All samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

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

(1) Surface water samples could not be collected from M-08 (upstream) for the weeks ending 01-05-05 through 03-16-05. The shoreline was frozen.

(2) No air particulate / air iodine sample was available from location M-2 for the week ending 05-11-05. The sampler pump failed.

(3) No air particulate / air iodine sample was available from location M-5 for the week ending 05-18-05. Power was interrupted due to an open fuse.

(4) Milk samples were not available from M-28 (Hoglund Farm) June 29th through October 5th, 2005. Dairy operations were temporarily discontinued. Collections were resumed on 10-20-05.

(5) No air particulate / air iodine sample was available from location M-4 for the week ending 09-14-05. The breaker was tripped due to lightning.

(6) The timer reading for air particulate I air iodine sampling from location M-3, for the week ending 09-28-05, showed a deficiency of approximately 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br />.

(7) Bottom organisms from the upstream location M-8 were not available for the collection of 10-27-05.

Deviations from the program are summarized in Table 5.3.

3,4 Laboratory Procedures The iodine-131 analyses in milk and drinking water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure which involves separation of the iodine using an ion-exchange method and solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.

Gamma-spectroscopic analysis is performed using a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector.

Levels of iodine-1 31 in cabbage and natural vegetation were determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were also determined by gamma spectroscopy.

Tritium was determined by a liquid scintillation technique.

Analytical Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.

Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984.

Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality controllquality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained. Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2003 ). The QA Program includes participation in Interlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs. Results obtained in the crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A.

3.5 Program Modifications There were no new program modifications in 2005.

3.6 Land Use Census In accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, sec. 07.01, a land use census shall be conducted and shall identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 ft2 producing fresh leafy vegetables, in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of 5 miles. The census shall also identify the locations of all milk animals and all 500 ft 2 or greater gardens producing broad leaf vegetation in each of the meteorological sectors within a distance of three miles. This census shall be conducted at least once per year between the dates of May I and October 31. New locations shall be added to the radiation environmental monitoring program within 30 days and sampling locations having lower calculated doses or a lower dose commitment may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which the land use census was conducted.

The 2005 land use census was conducted between August 29 and September 7, 2005.

An increased DIQ value (> 20%) was calculated for one nearest resident in the WNW sector. The change resulted from greater accuracy in measurement through the use of GPS location identification.

In summary, the highest D/Q locations for nearest garden, nearest residence and nearest milk animal did not change from the 2004 census.

Details of the land use census are contained in the Land Use Census and Critical Receptor Report, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.

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

All results are summarized in Table 5A4 in a format recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Regulatory Guide 4.8. For each type of analysis of each sampled medium, this table lists the mean and range for all indicator locations and for all control locations. The locations with the highest mean and range are also shown.

4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents at nuclear facilities and no atmospheric nuclear tests conducted in the year 2005. The last reported test was made by the People's Republic of China on October 16, 1980.

4.2 Summary of Preoperational Data The following constitutes a summary of preoperational studies conducted at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant during the years 1968 to 1970, to determine background levels expected in the environment, and provided, where applicable, as a means for comparison with present day levels. Strict comparisons, however, are difficult to make, since background levels of radiation were much higher in these years due to radioactive fallout from the atmosphere. Gross 2 2 beta measurements in fallout averaged 20,600 pCi/M in 1969 and 12,000 pCi/M in 1970. These levels are reflected throughout the various media tested.

In the air environment, ambient gamma radiation (TLDs) averaged 9.1 mRem/4 weeks during preoperational studies (1970). Gross beta in air particulates in 1969 and 1970 averaged 0.20 3 3 pCi/M . Present day levels have stabilized at around 0.025 pCi/M . Airborne radioiodine remained below detection levels.

In the terrestrial environment of 1968 to 1970, milk, agricultural crops, and soil were monitored. In milk samples, low levels of Cs-1 37 and Sr-90 were detected. Cs-137 levels averaged 16.7 pCi/L.

Soybean crop measurements in 1969 averaged 35.5 pCi/g for gross beta and 0.3 pCi/g for Cs-137. Gross beta measured in soil averaged 51.7 pCi/g . Present day measurements for cesium-137 are below detection levels in milk and agricultural crops.

The aqueous environment was monitored by testing of river water, bottom sediments, fish, aquatic vegetation, and periphyton. Specific location comparison of drinking, river, and well water concentrations for tritium and gross beta are not possible. However, tritium background levels, measured at seven separate locations from 1968 to 1970, averaged 970 pCi/L. Present day environmental samples measure below detection levels. Values for gross beta, measured from 1968 to 1970, averaged 9.8 pCi/L in upstream and downstream Mississippi River water, 4.4 pCi/L for well waters, and 18.6 pCi/L for lake waters. Gamma emitters were below the lower limit of detection (LLD). In shoreline sediments, gross beta background levels in 1970 averaged 49.8 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Cs-137 activity averaged 0.10 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Low levels of Cs-137, occasionally observed today can still be attributed to residual activity from atmospheric fallout. Gross beta levels in fish flesh averaged 5.3 pCi/g in 1968 and 1969. Cs-137, measured in 1969 and 1970, averaged 0.044 pCi/g. Gross beta background levels, in 1970, for aquatic vegetation, algae, and periphyton samples measured 86.7 pCi/g, 76.5 pCi/g, and 28.1 pCi/g respectively.

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

Ambient Radiation (TLD's)

Ambient radiation was measured in the general area of the site boundary, at an outer ring 4 - 5 mi.

distant from the Plant, at special interest areas and at four control locations. The means were similar for both inner and outer rings (15.6 and 15.2 mRemf91 days, respectively). The mean for special locations was 15.0 mRemI91 days. The mean for control locations was 15.1 mRem/91 days. Dose rates measured at the inner and outer ring locations were similar to those observed from 1990 through 2004 and are tabulated below. No plant effect on ambient gamma radiation is indicated (Figure 5-1).

Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta concentrations in airborne particulates were identical at indicator 3

and control locations (0.025 pCi/M ) and were similar to levels observed from 1990 through 2004.

The results are tabulated below.

A spring peak in beta activity had been observed almost annually for many years (Wilson et al.,

1969). It had been attributed to fallout of nuclides from the stratosphere (Gold et al., 1964). It was pronounced in 1981, occurred to a lesser degree in 1982, and has not occurred since 1983.

The highest averages usually occur during the months of January and December, and the first and fourth quarters, as seen in 1990 through 2005.

Two pieces of evidence indicate conclusively that the elevated activity observed during the first and fourth quarters was not attributable to the Plant operation. In the first place, elevated activity of similar size occurred simultaneously at both indicator and control locations. Secondly, an identical pattern was observed at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, about 100 miles distant from the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (XCEL Energy Corp., 2005b).

Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations. Beryllium-7, which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955) was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.057 pCi/m for all locations. All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD limits.

Airborne Iodine Weekly levels of airborne iodine-131 were below the lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.03 pCi/M 3 in all samples.

9

Milk lodine-131 activity measured below the detection limit of 0.5 pCi/L in all samples.

One milk sample from location M-28 tested positive for Cs-137, at a concentration of 10.1 pCi/L.

Low levels of cesium-137 are still detected in soil, and are generally attributed to fallout deposition. Ingestion of soil due to low grazing on pasture is the most likely source of Cs-137 activity in milk.

No other gamma-emitting isotopes except naturally-occurring potassium-40, were detected. This is consistent with the finding of the National Center for Radiological Health (1968) that most radiocontaminants in feed do not find their way into milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow. Common exceptions are radioisotopes of potassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine.

In summary, the milk data for 2005 show no radiological effects of the plant operation.

River Water and Drinking Water Tritium activity measured below the LLD of 500 pCi/L in all samples. Gross beta activity in Minneapolis drinking water averaged 2.8 pCi/L and was similar to average levels observed from 1990 through 2004. Gross beta averages are tabulated below.

Comparisons with data reported by the USEPA for Minneapolis drinking water samples collected in 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1978 indicate that concentrations of these nuclides are remaining fairly constant and are consistent with drinking water levels in other parts of the country. Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all surface water samples. There was no indication of a plant effect.

10

Well Water Tritium measured below the LLD level of 500 pCi/L in all samples. All gamma isotopic results were below detection limits. There was no indication of a plant effect.

Crovs Cabbage and broccoli were collected in September from three locations and analyzed for iodine-131. Levels of 1-131 measured below 0.031 pCi/g wet weight in both samples. Other gamma-emitting isotopes were below respective LLD levels. There was no indication of a plant effect.

There were no crops irrigated from the Mississippi River within 5 miles of the plant in 2005; therefore, no corn or potato samples were collected for analysis from irrigated fields.

Fish Fish samples were collected in May and October. Flesh was separated from the bones and gamma-scanned. Naturally-occurring potassium-40 was found to be similar in upstream and downstream samples (3.07 and 3.11 pCi/g wet weight, respectively). All gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD levels. There was no indication of any plant effect.

Invertebrates Samples were collected in May and October. The samples were analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. All gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. There was no indication of any plant effect.

Shoreline Sediments Upstream, downstream and downstream recreational area shoreline sediment collections were made in May and October and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Low levels of cesium-137 were detected in three of four downstream samples, averaging 0.14 pCi/g dry weight, and 0.029 pCi/g dry weight in one of two control samples. Similar levels of activity and distribution have been observed since 1978, and are indicative of the influence of fallout deposition The only other gamma-emitting isotope detected was naturally-occurring potassium-40. There was no indication of a plant effect.

Results are reported in Appendix A. TLD Intercomparison results, in-house spikes, blanks, duplicates and mixed analyte perfon-nance evaluation program results are also reported. Appendix A is updated four times a year; the complete Appendix is included in March, June, September and December monthly progress reports only.

January, 2005 through December, 2005

Appendix A Interlaboratorv 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.

Attachment A lists acceptance criteria for "spiked' samples.

APPENDIX B DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS B-1

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 = 2a counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).

In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L = the lower limit of detection based on 4.66a uncertainty for a background sample.

3.0. Duplicate analyses 3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x1 +/-s1 and x2 s+/-

2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (x + x2) and s = (1/2) +S 3.2. Individual results: < L ,. < L2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of Li and L2 3.3. Individual results: x +/- s, < L Reported result: x +/- s if x 2 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 . .. x are defined as follows:

x nT YnEx X8 s= n-i 4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.

4.3 If all values in the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.

4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.

4.5 In rounding off, the following rules are followed:

4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained is less than 5, the number is dropped, and the retained number s are kept unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.

4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45.
