SUMMARY

This Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report describes the McGuire Nuclear Station Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP), and the program results for the calendar year 2005.

Included are the identification of sampling locations, descriptions of environmental sampling and analysis procedures, comparisons of present environmental radioactivity levels and pre-operational environmental data, comparisons of doses calculated from environmental measurements and effluent data, analysis of trends in environmental radiological data as potentially affected by station operations, and a summary of environmental radiological sampling results. Quality assurance practices, sampling deviations, unavailable samples, and program changes are also discussed.

Sampling activities were conducted as prescribed by Selected Licensee Commitments (SLCs). Required analyses were performed and detection capabilities were met for all collected samples as required by SLCs. Eleven-hundred seventy-two samples were analyzed comprising 1,660 test results in order to compile data for the 2005 report.

Based on the annual land use census, the current number of sampling sites for McGuire Nuclear Station is sufficient.

Concentrations observed in the environment in 2005 for station related radionuclides were generally within the ranges of concentrations observed in the past. Inspection of data showed that radioactivity concentrations in surface water, drinking water, shoreline sediment and fish are higher than the activities reported for samples collected prior to the operation of the station. Measured concentrations were not higher than expected, and all positively identified measurements were within limits as specified in SLCs.

Additionally, environmental radiological monitoring data is consistent with effluents introduced into the environment by plant operations. The total body dose estimated to the maximum exposed member of the public as calculated by environmental sampling data, excluding TLD results, was 7.72E-2 mrem for 2005.

It is therefore concluded that station operations has had no significant radiological impact on the health and safety of the public or the environment.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

2.1 SITE DESCRIPTION AND SAMPLE LOCATIONS McGuire Nuclear Station (MNS) is located geographically near the center of a highly industrialized region of the Carolinas. The land is predominantly rural non-farm with a small amount of land being used to support beef cattle and farming. The McGuire site is in northwestern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, 17 miles north-northwest of Charlotte, North Carolina. The site is bounded to the west by the Catawba River channel and to the north by 32,510 acre Lake Norman. Lake Norman is impounded by Duke Power Companys Cowans Ford Dam Hydroelectric Station. The tailwater of Cowans Ford Dam is the upper limit of Mountain Island Reservoir. Mountain Island Dam is located 15 miles downstream from the site.

Lookout Shoals Hydroelectric Station is at the upper reaches of Lake Norman. Marshall Steam Station is located on the western shore of Lake Norman, approximately 16 miles upstream from the site (reference 6.3).

MNS consists of two pressurized water reactors. Each reactor unit is essentially a mirror image of the other joined by an auxiliary building housing both separate and common equipment. Each unit was designed to produce approximately 1200 gross Megawatts of electricity. Unit 1 achieved criticality August 8, 1981 and Unit 2 on May 8, 1983.

Figures 2.1-1 and 2.1-2 are maps depicting the Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) monitoring locations and the sampling locations. The location numbers shown on these maps correspond to those listed in Tables 2.1-A and 2.1-B. Figure 2.1-1 comprises all sample locations within 0.5 mile radius of MNS. Figure 2.1-2 comprises all sample locations within a ten mile radius of MNS.

2.2 SCOPE AND REQUIREMENTS OF THE REMP An environmental monitoring program has been in effect at McGuire Nuclear Station since 1977, four years prior to operation of Unit 1 in 1981. The preoperational program provides data on the existing environmental radioactivity levels for the site and vicinity which may be used to determine whether increases in environmental levels are attributable to the station. The operational program provides surveillance and backup support of detailed effluent monitoring which is necessary to evaluate the significance, if any, of the contributions to the existing environmental radioactivity levels that result from station operation.

This monitoring program is based on NRC guidance as reflected in the Selected Licensee Commitments Manual, with regard to sample media, sampling locations, sampling frequency, and analytical sensitivity requirements. Indicator and control locations were established for comparison purposes to distinguish radioactivity of station origin from natural or other man-made environmental radioactivity. The environmental monitoring program also verifies projected and anticipated radionuclide concentrations in the environment and related exposures from releases of radionuclides from McGuire Nuclear Station. This program satisfies the Section 2 - Page 1

requirements of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10CFR50 and provides surveillance of all appropriate critical exposure pathways to man and protects vital interests of the company, public, and state and federal agencies concerned with the environment. Reporting levels for radioactivity found in environmental samples are listed in Table 2.2-A. Table 2.2-B lists the REMP analysis and frequency schedule.

The Annual Land Use Census, required by Selected Licensee Commitments, is performed to ensure that changes in the use of areas at or beyond the site boundary are identified and that modifications to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are made if required by changes in land use. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10CFR50. Results are shown in Table 3.10.

Participation in an interlaboratory comparison program as required by Selected Licensee Commitments provides for independent checks on the precision and accuracy of measurements of radioactive material in REMP sample matrices. Such checks are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are valid for the purposes of Section IV.B.2 of Appendix I to 10CFR50. A summary of the results obtained as part of this comparison program are in Section 5 of this annual report.

2.3 STATISTICAL AND CALCULATIONAL METHODOLOGY 2.3.1 ESTIMATION OF THE MEAN VALUE There was one (1) basic statistical calculation performed on the raw data resulting from the environmental sample analysis program. The calculation involved the determination of the mean value for the indicator and the control samples for each sample medium. The mean is a widely used statistic. This value was used in the reduction of the data generated by the sampling and analysis of the various media in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The following equation was used to estimate the mean (reference 6.8):

N x

i =1 i

x =

N Where:

x = estimate of the mean, i = individual sample, N = total number of samples with a net activity (or concentration),

i = net activity (or concentration) for sample i.

NOTE: Net activity (or concentration)" is the activity (or concentration) determined to be present in the sample. No "Minimum Detectable Activity", "Lower Limit of Detection", "Less Than Level", or negative activities or concentrations are included in the calculation of the mean.

Section 2 - Page 2

2.3.2 LOWER LEVEL OF DETECTION AND MINIMUM DETECTABLE ACTIVITY The Lower Level of Detection (LLD) and Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) are used throughout the Environmental Monitoring Program.

LLD - The LLD, as defined in the Selected Licensee Commitments Manual is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above the 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 LLD is an a priori lower limit of detection. The actual LLD is dependent upon the standard deviation of the background counting rate, the counting efficiency, the sample size (mass or volume), the radiochemical yield, and the radioactive decay of the sample between sample collection and counting. The "required" LLD's for each sample medium and selected radionuclides are given in the Selected Licensee Commitments and are listed in Table 2.2-C.

MDA - The MDA may be thought of as an "actual" LLD for a particular sample measurement remembering that the MDA is calculated using a sample background instead of a system background.

2.3.3 TREND IDENTIFICATION One of the purposes of an environmental monitoring program is to determine if there is a buildup of radionuclides in the environment due to the operation of the nuclear station.

Visual inspection of tabular or graphical presentations of data (including preoperational) is used to determine if a trend exists. A decrease in a particular radionuclide's concentration in an environmental medium does not indicate that reactor operations are removing radioactivity from the environment but that reactor operations are not adding that radionuclide to the environment in quantities exceeding the preoperational level and that the normal removal processes (radioactive decay, deposition, resuspension, etc.) are influencing the concentration.

Substantial increases or decreases in the amount of a particular radionuclide's release from the nuclear plant will greatly affect the resulting environmental levels; therefore, a knowledge of the release of a radionuclide from the nuclear plant is necessary to completely interpret the trends, or lack of trends, determined from the environmental data. Some factors that may affect environmental levels of radionuclides include prevailing weather conditions (periods of drought, solar cycles or heavier than normal precipitation), construction in or around either the nuclear plant or the sampling location, and addition or deletion of other sources of radioactive materials (such as the Chernobyl accident). Some of these factors may be obvious while others are sometimes unknown.

Therefore, how trends are identified will include some judgment by plant personnel.

3.0 INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS Review of 2005 REMP analysis results was performed to detect and identify changes in environmental levels as a result of station operation. The radionuclides with Selected Licensee Commitments reporting levels that indicate consistent detectable activity have been historically trended from preoperation to present. Analyses from 1977 - 1978 have been excluded since these results were much higher than the other preoperational years due to outside influences such as weapons testing. The preoperational analyses from 1981 were combined with the operational analyses from the latter part of 1981 and averaged to give one concentration for each radionuclide for that year.

The highest annual mean concentration of applicable Selected Licensee Commitments radionuclides from the indicator locations for each media type was used for trending purposes.

Trending was performed by comparing annual mean concentrations to historical results. Factors evaluated include the frequency of detection and the concentration in terms of the percent of the radionuclides SLC reporting level (Table 2.2-A). All maximum percent of reporting level values were well below the 100% action level. The highest value reached during 2005 was 4.48% for drinking water tritium at the North Mecklenburg Water Treatment Facility (Location 101).

Only Selected Licensee Commitments radionuclides were detected in 2005.

Changes in sample location, analytical technique, and presentation of results must be considered when reviewing for trends. Calculation of the annual mean concentrations has been performed differently over the history of the REMP. During 1979-1986, all net results (sample minus background) positive and negative, were included in the calculation of the mean. Only positive net activity results were used to calculate the mean for the other years. All negative values were replaced with a zero for calculational and graphical purposes to properly represent environmental conditions. A change in gamma spectroscopy analysis systems in 1987 ended a period when many measurements yielded detectable low-level activity for both indicator and control location samples. It is possible that the method the previous system used to estimate net activity may have been vulnerable to false-positive results.

This section includes tables and graphs containing the highest annual mean concentrations of any effluent related radionuclide detected since the change in analysis systems in 1987. Any zero concentrations used in tables or graphs represent activity measurements less than detectable levels. Only the specific radionuclides that represent the highest dose contributors or demonstrate consistent detectable activity are shown graphically.

Data presented in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 support the conclusion that there was no significant increase in radioactivity in the environment around McGuire Nuclear Station due to station operations in 2005. Similarly, there was no significant increase in ambient background radiation levels in the surrounding areas. The 2005 land use census data, shown in Section 3.10, indicates that no program changes are required as a result of the census.

Section 3 - Page 1

3.1 AIRBORNE RADIOIODINE AND PARTICULATES In 2005, 371 particulate and radioiodine samples were analyzed, 318 at six indicator locations and 53 at the control location. Particulate samples were analyzed weekly for gamma and gross beta. Radioiodine samples received a weekly gamma analysis.

Gross beta analyses indicated 1.68E-2 pCi/m3 at the location with the highest annual mean and 1.77E-2 pCi/m3 at the control location. Detectable gamma emitting particulate activity was last observed in environmental air particulate samples in 2004 and is described in PIP G-04-00134.

No detectable I-131 activity in any environmental air radioiodine samples was found in 2005. K-40 and Be-7 that occur naturally were routinely detected in charcoal cartridges collected during the year. Cs-137 activity was detected on one cartridge in 2003 from the control location.

Cs-137 detection on the charcoal cartridge was determined in 1990 to be an active constituent of the charcoal. A similar study was performed in 2001 again yielding this conclusion. Therefore, any Cs-137 activities were not used in any dose calculations in Section 4.0 of this report.

Figure 3.1 shows gross beta highest annual mean indicator and control location concentrations since 1985. There is no reporting level for gross beta. Table 3.1-A shows indicator and control location highest annual means for Cs-137 and gross beta.

Table 3.1-B gives indicator location highest annual means and control means since 1979 for I-131. Preoperational and ten year averages are also shown. No I-131 activity has been detected since 1989. Since no activity was detected in 2005, no reporting levels were approached.

3.2 DRINKING WATER In 2005, 65 drinking water samples were analyzed for gross beta and gamma emitting radionuclides. Fifty-two samples were from the four indicator locations and 13 from the control location. Tritium (H-3) analyses were performed on 20 composite samples, 16 at indicator locations and four at the control location.

No detectable gamma activity was found in drinking water samples in 2005 and has not been detected since 1987. Gross beta analyses indicated 1.74 pCi/l at the location with the highest annual mean and 1.30 pCi/l at the control location. Tritium was detected in 12 of the 16 indicator composite samples taken in 2005 with the highest annual mean resulting in only 3.68% of the reporting level. The dose for consumption of water was less than one mrem per year, historically and for 2005; therefore low-level iodine analysis is not required.

Figure 3.2 shows tritium highest annual mean indicator and control location concentrations with comparisons to 10% of the reporting level. Table 3.2 gives indicator location highest annual means and control means since 1979 for tritium and gross beta. There is no reporting level for gross beta.

Drinking water Location 101 was added to the sampling program in 1999. Figure 3.2 shows an increase beginning in that year. There was an increase in drinking water tritium in 2005.

This increase correlates with effluent releases from the plant.

3.3 SURFACE WATER In 2005, 39 surface water samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides, 26 at the two indicator locations and 13 at the control location. Analyses for H-3 were performed on 12 samples, eight at indicator locations and four at the control location.

No detectable gamma activity was found in surface water samples in 2005 and has not been detected since 1988. Tritium was detected in all of the eight indicator composite samples taken in 2005.

Tritium was not detected in any of the control location composite samples in 2005.

Figure 3.3 shows tritium highest annual mean indicator and control location concentrations. Table 3.3 gives indicator and control location highest annual means since 1979 for tritium.

There was an increase in surface water tritium in 2005. This increase correlates with effluent releases from the plant.

3.9 DIRECT GAMMA RADIATION In 2005, 164 TLDs were analyzed, 160 at indicator locations, four at the control location. TLDs are collected and analyzed quarterly. The highest annual mean exposure for an indicator location was 109.2 milliroentgen. The annual mean exposure for the control location was 94.4 milliroentgen.

Figure 3.9 and Table 3.9 show TLD inner ring (site boundary), outer ring (4-5 miles), and control location annual averages in milliroentgen per year. Preoperational data and ten year rolling averages are also given. As shown in the graph, inner and outer ring averages historically compare closely, with control data somewhat higher. Inner and outer ring averages comprise a number of data points with the control average representing only one location.

The calculated total body dose from gaseous effluents for 2005 was 9.68E-1 millirem, which is 1.46% of the average inner ring TLD values. Therefore, it can be concluded that discharges from the plant had very little impact on the measured TLD values.

3.10 LAND USE CENSUS The land use census was conducted May 31 and June 1, 2005 as required by SLC 16.11.14.

Table 3.10 summarizes census results. A map indicating identified locations is shown in Figure 3.10.

During the 2005 census, no new or closer irrigated gardens were identified. The nearest residence is located in the East sector at 0.48 miles. No program changes were required as a result of the 2005 land use census.

4.0 EVALUATION OF DOSE 4.1 DOSE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL MEASUREMENTS Annual doses to maximum exposed individuals were estimated based on measured concentrations of radionuclides in 2005 MNS REMP samples. The primary purpose of estimating doses based on sample results is to allow comparison to effluent program dose estimates.

Doses based on sample results were calculated using the methodology and data presented in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109. Measured radionuclide concentrations, averaged over the entire year for a specific radionuclide, indicator location and sample type, were used to calculate REMP-based doses. Where applicable, average background concentration at the corresponding control location was subtracted.

Regulatory Guide 1.109 consumption rates for the maximum exposed individual were used in the calculations. When the guide listed NO DATA as the dose factor for a given radionuclide and organ, a dose factor of zero was assumed.

Maximum dose estimates (Highest Annual Mean Concentration) based on drinking water, fish, and shoreline sediment sample results are reported in Table 4.1-A. The individual critical population and pathway dose calculations are reported in Table 4.1-B.

REMP-based dose estimates are not reported for airborne radioiodine, milk, or broadleaf vegetation sample types because no radionuclides other than naturally occurring K-40 and Be-7 were detected in the samples. Dose estimates are not reported for surface water because sampled surface water is not considered to be a potable drinking water source. Exposure estimates based upon REMP TLD results are discussed in Section 3.9.

The maximum environmental organ dose estimate for any single sample type (other than direct radiation from gaseous effluents) collected during 2005 was 7.61E-2 mrem to the maximum exposed child liver, total body, thyroid, kidney, lung, and GI-LLI from the consumption of drinking water.

4.2 ESTIMATED DOSE FROM RELEASES Throughout the year, dose estimates were calculated based on actual 2005 liquid and gaseous effluent release data. Effluent-based dose estimates were calculated using the RETDAS computer program which employs methodology and data presented in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109. These doses are shown in Table 4.1-A along with the corresponding REMP-based dose estimates. Summaries of RETDAS dose calculations are reported in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (reference 6.6).

Section 4 - Page 1

The effluent-based liquid release doses are summations of the dose contributions from the drinking water, fish, and shoreline pathways. The effluent-based gaseous release doses report noble gas exposure separately from iodine, particulate, and tritium exposure. For noble gas exposure there is no critical age group; as the maximum exposed individuals are assumed to receive the same doses, regardless of their age group. For iodine, particulate, and tritium exposure the effluent-based gaseous release doses are summations of the dose contributors from ground/plane, inhalation, milk and vegetation pathways.

4.3 COMPARISON OF DOSES The environmental and effluent dose estimates given in Table 4.1-A agree reasonably well. The similarity of the doses indicate that the radioactivity levels in the environment do not differ significantly from those expected based on effluent measurements and modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. This indicates that effluent program dose estimates are both valid and reasonably conservative.

There are some differences in how effluent and environmental doses are calculated that affect the comparison. Doses calculated from environmental data are conservative because they are based on a mean that includes only samples with a net positive activity versus a mean that includes all sample results (i.e. zero results are not included in the mean). Also, airborne tritium is not measured in environmental samples but is used to calculate effluent doses.

In calculations based on liquid release pathways, drinking water and fish consumption were the predominant dose pathways based on environmental and effluent data. The maximum total organ dose based on 2005 environmental sample results was 7.722E-2 mrem to the child total body. The maximum total organ dose of 1.80E-1 mrem for liquid effluent-based estimates was to the child liver.

In calculations based on gaseous release pathways, vegetation was the predominant dose pathway for effluent samples. The maximum total organ dose for gaseous effluent estimates was 9.69E-1 mrem to the childs lung and GI-LLI.

No environmental doses resulted from the gaseous pathway in 2005 because broadleaf vegetation, milk, and airborne radioiodine and particulates indicated no activity. The gaseous effluent dose is due to tritium in broadleaf vegetation.

Noble gas samples are not collected as part of the REMP, preventing an analogous comparison of effluent-based noble gas exposure estimates.

The doses calculated do not exceed the 40CFR190 dose commitment limits for members of the public. Doses to members of the public attributable to the operation of MNS are being maintained well within regulatory limits.

Table 5.0-A Footnote Explanations (1) Gamma in Water, Sample ID Q053GWS, Reference Date 8/10/2005: 3.5 L Marinelli, 1.0 L Marinelli, 0.5 L Marinelli, 0.25 L Marinelli, 0.05 L bottle Failure to identify Hg-203 [279.19 keV] during initial cross-check analysis.

Gamma spectroscopy library XENVIRON updated to include Hg-203 nuclide.

Cross-check reanalyzed, yielding acceptable data. PIP G-05-00331 written to record corrective actions taken.

(2) Gamma in Water, Sample ID Q054GWR, Reference Date 11/21/2005: 3.5 L Marinelli, 1.0 L Marinelli, 0.5 L Marinelli, 0.25 L Marinelli Cross-check analysis yielded low Hg-203 results for all geometries tested.

Investigation indicated Hg-203 volatility (plate out) despite cross-check preservation. PIP G-06-00038 written.

APPENDIX A ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING ANALYSIS PROCEDURES Appendix A - Page 1

APPENDIX A ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURES Adherence to established procedures for sampling and analysis of all environmental media at McGuire Nuclear Station was required to ensure compliance with Station Selected Licensee Commitments. Analytical procedures were employed to ensure that Selected Licensee Commitments detection capabilities were achieved.

Environmental sampling and analyses were performed by EnRad Laboratories, Dosimetry and Records, and Fisheries and Aquatic Ecology.

This appendix describes the environmental sampling frequencies and analysis procedures by media type.

I. CHANGE OF SAMPLING PROCEDURES Four outer ring TLDs were relocated within the 6 to 8 km range (3.73 miles to 4.97 miles) from the site as required by SLC Table 16.11.13-1. Relocation of the TLDs is described in PIP G-04-00139 and was a result of NPA assessment GO-04-007 (NPA)(RP)(ALL).

  • Location 159 was moved within the NE sector from 4.98 miles to 4.73 miles.
  • Location 165 was moved within the S sector from 5.11 miles to 4.57 miles.
  • Location 166 was moved within the SSW sector from 5.25 miles to 4.44 miles.
  • Location 172 was moved within the NNW sector from 5.70 miles to 4.69 miles.

II. DESCRIPTION OF ANALYSIS PROCEDURES Gamma spectroscopy analyses are performed using high purity germanium gamma detectors and Canberra analytical software. Designated sample volumes are transferred to appropriate counting geometries and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Perishable samples such as fish and broadleaf vegetation are ground to achieve a homogeneous mixture. Soils and sediments are dried, sifted to remove foreign objects (rocks, clams, glass, etc.) then transferred to appropriate counting geometry.

Low-level iodine analyses are performed by passing a designated sample aliquot through a pre-weighed amount of ion exchange resin to remove and concentrate any iodine in the aqueous sample (milk). The resin is then dried, mixed thoroughly, and a net resin weight determined before being transferred to appropriate counting geometry and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy.

Appendix A - Page 2

Tritium analyses are performed quarterly by using low-level environmental liquid scintillation analysis technique on a Packard 2550 liquid scintillation system or Perkin-Elmer 2900TR liquid scintillation system. Tritium samples are batch processed with a tritium spike to verify instrument performance and sample preparation technique are acceptable.

Gross beta analysis is performed by concentrating a designated aliquot of sample precipitate and analyzing by Tennelec XLB Series 5 gas-flow proportional counters. Samples are batch processed with a blank to ensure sample contamination has not occurred.

III. CHANGE OF ANALYSIS PROCEDURES No analysis procedures were changed during 2005.

IV. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROCEDURES A.1 AIRBORNE PARTICULATE AND RADIOIODINE Airborne particulate and radioiodine samples at each of seven locations were composited continuously by means of continuous air samplers. Air particulates were collected on a particulate filter and radioiodines were collected in a charcoal cartridge positioned behind the filter in the sampler. The samplers are designed to operate at a constant flow rate (in order to compensate for any filter loading) and are set to sample approximately 2 cubic feet per minute. Filters and cartridges were collected weekly.

A separate weekly gamma analysis was performed on each charcoal cartridge and air particulate. A weekly gross beta analysis was performed on each filter. The continuous composite samples were collected from the locations listed below.

Location 120 = Site Boundary (0.46 mi. NNE)

Location 121 = Site Boundary (0.47 mi. NE)

Location 125 = Site Boundary (0.38 mi. SW)

Location 128 = Discharge Canal Bridge (0.45 mi. NE)

Location 131 = Cowans Ford Dam (0.64 mi. WNW)

Location 135 = Plant Marshall Intake Canal (11.9 mi. N)

A.4 MILK Biweekly grab samples were collected at each dairy. A gamma and low-level Iodine-131 analysis was performed on each sample. The biweekly grab samples were collected from the locations listed below.

Location 139 = William Cook Dairy (2.49 mi. E)

Location 141 = Lynch Dairy - Cows (14.8 mi. WNW)

A.5 BROADLEAF VEGETATION Monthly samples were collected as available and a gamma analysis was performed on each sample. The samples were collected from the locations listed below.

Location 120 = Site Boundary (0.46 mi. NNE)

Location 125 = Site Boundary (0.38 mi. SW)

Location 134 = East Lincoln Junior High School (8.77 mi. WNW)

Location 193 = Site Boundary (0.19 mi. N)

A.6 FOOD PRODUCTS Samples were collected monthly when available during the harvest season and a gamma analysis was performed on each. The samples were collected at the location listed below.

Location 188 = 5 mile radius Gardens (2.79 mi NNE)

A.7 FISH Semiannual samples were collected and a gamma analysis was performed on the edible portions of each sample. Boney fish (i.e. Sunfish) were prepared whole minus the head and tail portions. The samples were collected from the locations listed below.

Location 129 = Discharge Canal Entrance to Lake Norman (0.51 mi. ENE)

Location 137 = Pinnacle Access Area (12.0 mi. N)

Appendix A - Page 4

Location 129 = Discharge Canal Entrance to Lake Norman (0.51 mi. ENE)

Location 130 = Highway 73 Bridge Downstream (0.52 mi. SW)

Location 137 = Pinnacle Access Area (12.0 mi. N)

A.9 DIRECT GAMMA RADIATION (TLD)

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD) were collected quarterly at forty-one locations.

A gamma exposure rate was determined for each TLD. TLD locations are listed in Table 2.1-B. The TLDs were placed as indicated below.

  • An inner ring of 14 TLDs at the site boundary, one in each available meteorological sector. The site boundary locations in the N and NNW sectors are over water; however, two special interest TLD's were placed in these sectors inside the site boundary in March, 1991.
  • An outer ring of 16 TLDs, one in each meteorological sector in the 6 to 8 kilometer range.
  • The remaining TLDs were placed in special interest areas such as population centers, residential areas, schools, and control locations.

A.10 ANNUAL LAND USE CENSUS An annual Land Use Census was conducted to identify within a distance of 8 kilometers (5.0 miles) from the station, the nearest location from the site boundary in each of the sixteen meteorological sectors, the following:

  • The Nearest Residence
  • The Nearest Garden greater than 50 square meters or 500 square feet
  • The Nearest Milk-giving Animal (cow, goat, etc.)

The census was conducted during the growing season from 5/31 to 6/1/2005. Results are shown in Table 3.10. No changes were made to the sampling procedures during 2005 as a result of the 2005 census.

In the environmental program, the air deposition parameters (D/Q) are used to determine air, broadleaf vegetation and milk sampling locations. McGuires sectors with the three highest values did not change in 2005.

V. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) ANALYSIS The McGuire site centerline used for GPS measurements was referenced from the McGuire Nuclear Station Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), section 2.1.1, Site Location. Waypoint coordinates used for MNS GPS measurements were latitude 35°-25'-59"N and longitude 80°-56'-55"W. Maps and tables were generated using North American Datum (NAD) 27. Data normally reflect accuracy to within 2 to 5 meters from point of measurement. GPS field measurements were taken as close as possible to the item of interest. Distances for the locations are displayed using three significant figures.
