2000 AIR SAMPLES Air samples are taken at various fixed locations using a line powered piston type compressor Operating at a rate of I cubic foot per ,hiniite nominal. The sample is collected on a fiberglass 2" diameter filter. Collection time is continuous with a nominal sampling period of four: Weeks.

The samples aire sent to the Vermont State Department of Health Laboratory for gross Alpha and Beta analyses. Results are repotted in picoCuries per cubic meter of air with 2 sigma (standard deviation) value. In June, Guilford Town Clerk Station was relocated to Guilford Town Highway Garage, a nominal onequarter mile distance north westerly from the Town Clerk's Office, at the request of the Town of Guilford.

BIOTA 2000 Occasional sampling, most often once a year, is done on other biologicals and wild foods as available or needed. Samples are collected (usually in the Northwest quadrant) within a mile or two from the facility. These normally consist of ferns (fiddleheads), edible fungi (Clavaria sp., Boleti sp., Russlae sp., grapes, etc.) and grass. Sample sizes range from 250 to 1,000 grams. The samples are weighed, placed wet in reentrant beakers and analyzed in the laboratory gamma spectrometer. Usual spectra include primordial radionuclides, archival Cesuim-137 and occasional cosmogenic Beryllium-7. Reporting units are picoCuries per Kilogram.

FISH 2000 Two locations (3-4 Vernon Pond and 3-8 Route 9 Highway bridge) provide fish samples in Spring and Fall of about one kilogram each sample lot for a total of two sample lots each year. Fish are captured via an electroshock method with those having game or commercial value chosen for a total of four sample lots each year. Fish are captured via an electroshock method with those having garhe or commercial value chosen for samples. The fish are frozen' whole, weighed, and chopped (entire) for loading into a reentrant beaker and subsequent analysis in a ReGe detector equipped Gamma Spectrometer System. Radionuclides detected usually include naturally occurring Potassium 40, Thorium and Uranium with daughters, archival 137 due to former open atmospheric nuclear testing, and occasional traces of cosmogenic Beryllium-7.

Reporting units are picoCuries per Kilogram.

2000 IODINE CARTRIDGES Charcoal cartridges loaded with TEDA for facilitative iodine collection are part of the air sampling train at selected air. filter sampling stations. The sample rate and sampling times c6incide with. those used for air filters. Response to Ch6nobyl iodine release was marked, proving the sensitivity to environmental trace levels of iodine of this system.IThe Health Department Radiation Laboratory analyzes the cartridges for iodine by gamma spectroscopy. Nominal Minimum Detectable Activity is 2 x IO's pCi/l of air.

SEDIMENT - 2000 A sediment sample is taken ranging from 0.75 to 1.25 kilograms, approximate, from the Connecticut River at three separate locations in the'spring and fall of each year. The sample is dried and sieved with 1/8" mesh hardware cloth, then weighed and top loaded in a one liter Marinelli Beaker and counted. A normal spectrum will include primordial radionuclides with daughters, and archival Cesium-137 dissipating from former open atmospheric nuclear testing. On occasion short-lived cosmogenic Beryllium-7 can be discerned at levels comparable with natural Potassium-40.

2000 THERMOLUMINESCENT DOSIMETRY (TLD) DATA (milliRoentgens 1 2 Sigma)

This method samples direct gamma radiation in the environment. Detectors utilize crystals which store eneigy from gamma and x-rays until analyzed for their cumulative energy exposure experience. Vermont has over twenty selected locations where direct radiation levels have been measure for over ten years.

Some of these sites are located where other types of samples'- air, milk, water are collected. Detectors were provided to the State of Vermont by Teledyne Inc. for the first, second and third quarters of this year.

The fourth quarter laboratory service was provided by Proxtronics, Inc. as Teledyne decided to discontinue this type of service. The fourth quarter dosimeters contained two detection cells for each dosimeter.

Levels of direct radiation from the natural environment are routinely detected at each site.

2000 TRITIUM IN WATER VERMONT YANKEE (CONNECTICUT RIVER)

Results (nCilliter +.2Sigma)

As part of the water sampling effort, an aliquot of the monthly grab samples is analyzed for Hydrogen -3.

Two locations are reported monthly for Hydrogen-3 content from the Connecticut River (upstream and downstream of the power station).
