Tritium results from two (2) of seventeen (17) wells were >2000 pCi/L, which are similar to results initially communicated in 2007. All gamma spectrometry analyses were <LLD.No adverse effect has been detected in offsite groundwater, drinking water and surface water.Onsite Spills: There were no onsite spills >100 gallons.Decomnnissioning File Update: There were no items added to the site decommissioning files in accordance with 10CFR50.75(g).
Abnormal Liquid Releases:
There were no abnormal liquid releases.Abnormal Gaseous Releases:
There were no abnormal gaseous releases.Liquid Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Liquid Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own ion-exchange vessels. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process liquid waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit 1 or 2 high level liquid waste was processed (e.g., coolant recovery waste) it was performed at Unit 1, because it has a carbon pre-conditioning filter.Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own charcoal delay beds and storage/decay tanks. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process gaseous waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit 1 or 2 went to a shutdown condition, the gaseous waste was transferred for storage and decay at Unit 2, because Unit 2 has four (4) additional storage tanks.I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Form 1/2-ENV-01.05.F01 (page 5 of 38), Rev 2 RTL# A9.690E Beaver Valley Power Station -Units 1 & 2 Enclosure 2, Page v Radioactive Effluent Release Report Calendar Year -2009 Executive Summary -Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Control (Part 2 of 2)Lower Limits of Detectability (LLD): All a-priori calculated LLD met the minimum requirements specified in the ODCM.Effluent Monitoring Channels Inoperable
>30 Days: There were two (2) Effluent Monitoring Instrumentation Channels not returned to Operable status within 30 days. They are described in Table 6.ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies:
There were two (2) ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies.
They are described in Table 8.ODCM Changes: There were two (2) changes made to the ODCM.Meteorological Data Recovery:
The Meteorological Data Recovery met the minimum requirement of at-least 90%, as specified in Section 5 of Revision i to Regulatory Guide 1.23, Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants.Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
The 0-50 mile total and average population doses were calculated using liquid and gaseous release quantities and real time meteorology.
The average population dose is based on four (4) million people within 0-50 miles of the BVPS site. The following comparison to natural background radiation demonstrates that BVPS operations did not adversely affect the surrounding environment.
621 man-mrem =BVPS Total Population Dose for the year 0.000 1553 mrem = BVPS Average Individual Dose for the year 296 mrem = Natural Background Individual Dose for the year. This dose value is documented as natural background radiation exposure for an individual in a year from the 1990 BEIR V Report.

(2) These LLD calculations contain a default weekly continuous sample volume of 2.85E+8 cc. Therefore, grab sample LLD values reflect a different volume (ie; 10 cuft or 2.83E+5 cc).(3) The calculated LLD's, except those denoted by (1), are from a counter/detector calibration on 06108/09.
These values are typical for other counter/detectors used for effluent counting at BVPS.(4) Based on counting 50 ml of the water that was bubbled through a 20 liter air sample.

The installed Model 843-32 detector failed calibration requirements, and several attempts to calibrate new detectors (that were located from old stock and other nuclear power plants) were also unsuccessful.
The thirty (30) day criteria was exceeded due to performance of Model 843-32 detectors that are no longer manufactured.
An upgraded detector (Model 843-32R) was purchased (which required an updated calibration geometry) and subsequent changes were made to applicable engineering documents, calculation packages and procedures.
The monitor was calibrated and returned to operable status on 02/05/09.
This condition and associated Corrective Actions are detailed in BVPS Condition Report No. CR 08-50435, CR 08-50765, CR 08-50899, CR 09-52947, CR 09-52964 and BVPS-SAP Order Number 200197646-0700.
As required by ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, "Controls for RETS and REMP Programs", (as referenced in procedure Attachment E, Control 3.3.3.9, Table 3.3-12, Action 24), effluent releases via this pathway may continue provided grab samples are analyzed once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. However, SINCE this liquid effluent pathway was diverted to the Tunnel Sump / Liquid Radwaste Treatment System on 11/16/08 (and remained diverted until the monitor was returned to operable status on 02/05/09), THEN there were no liquid releases through this effluent pathway. Therefore, grab sampling was not required.[RM-lVS-109]
Ch-7 & Ch-9 -Unit 1 Auxiliary Building Ventilation System (Ventilation Vent) Noble Gas Activity Monitor On 06/07/09 this monitor was removed from service to perform the eighteen (18) month calibration.
The thirty (30) day criteria was exceeded due to additional work being required during the calibration.
The computer system did not respond as expected and required parts and repair work. The two monitor channels were calibrated and returned to operable status on 07/29/09.
This condition and associated Corrective Actions are detailed in BVPS Condition Report No. CR 09-61459.As required by ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, "Controls for RETS and REMP Programs", (as referenced in procedure Attachment D, Control 3.3.3.1, Table 3.3-6, Action 35), effluent releases via this pathway may continue provided the preplanned alternate method of monitoring of appropriate parameters is imitated.
[RM-1 VS-111] Unit 1 Ventilation Vent is the first Preplanned Method of Monitoring and was in-service during the maintenance and calibration of [RM-1 VS-109].

The dose commitment limits for 40 CFR 190 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC (ODCM 1/2-ODC-3.03 Control 3.11.4.1) are as follows: a) < or = 25 mrem / calendar year (for the total body, or any organ except the thyroid)b) < or = 75 mrem / calendar year (for the thyroid)(2) The dose contribution listed for the total body is for Direct Radiation.
This was calculated by comparing offsite TLD exposure at the ODCM controlling location (0.8 'miles NW; Midland, PA) to TLD exposure at the REMP'control location (16.5 miles SSW; Weirton, WV).I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I-Compliance to 100 mrem Limit of 10 CFR 20.1301 For Total Effective Dose Equivalent Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1301 (a)(1), the Total Effective Dose Equivalent from licensed operation to the maximum individual during the report period, is 2.74 mrem. This is a summation of Direct Radiation Exposure (calculated by comparing the maximum of all perimeter TLD exposures to TLD exposure at the REMP control location) plus Effluent Doses (calculated per the ODCM).Members of the Public Doses Due To Their Activities Inside The Site Boundary The radiation doses for MEMBER(S)
OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the site boundary are not greater than the doses listed in this table to show compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 or 10 CFR 20.1301. Evaluations have shown that exposure time for individuals not occupationally associated with the plant site is minimal in comparison to the exposure time considered for the dose calculation at or beyond the site boundary.
Therefore, a separate assessment of radiation doses from radioactive effluents to MEMBER(S)
OF THE PUBLIC, due to their activities inside the site boundary, is not necessary for this report period.0-50 Mile Population Doses From Liquid and Gaseous Effluents 0-50 mile Total Population Dose from liquid and gaseous effluents

The Warehouse Extension Decon Facility is monitored as required by OCDM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03 as an effluent pathway. The particulate filter paper samples from this area are included in the monthly composite analysis for Gross Alpha and Sr-89 and Sr-90. An extensive search was conducted to locate these filter papers but they were never located. Analysis data was available for 1-133, 1-131 and principle gamma emitters.
This condition and associated Corrective Actions are detailed in BVPS Condition Report No. CR 09-64033 and CR 10-69838.ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, "Controls for RETS and REMP Programs", (as referenced in procedure Attachment K, Control 3.11.2.1, Table 4.11-2), requires a monthly composite for Gross Alpha, Sr-89 and Sr-90. Activity was estimated at Lower Levels of Detection for this release pathway based on the work that occurred in the facility during the time period the sample was collected.
Also the results from the monthly composite sample for the same time period were evaluated.
No Gross Specific Activity or activity from Sr-89 or Sr-90 was detected for the weeks prior to and after the time periods of the missing particulate filter paper samples.

There were two changes made to the Unit 1 and 2 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual during this report period.Change 25 to the ODCM added the Emergency Planning &Preparedness Emergency Action Level Radiation Monitors (EPP-EAL).
This changed added the EAL Area Monitors and Process Monitors for both Units that were not specifically required by the ITS, LRM or ODCM.Shortly after the implementation of this change it was determined that the ODCM is not the appropriate document for control of the EPP-EAL monitors.
Change 26 removed the changes made during Change 25 and restored the affected ODCM documents to their previous content (Change 24).I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I RTL # A9.690E Enclosure 2, Attachment 1 Beaver Valley Power Station -Units 1 & 2 Radioactive Effluent Release Report Calendar Year -2009 Attachment 1 Joint Frequency Distribution Tables-Attachment 1 As specified in the ODCM, an annual summary of hourly meteorological data (in the form of joint frequency distribution) is provided for the calendar year. In summary the joint frequency distributions for 2009 returned to a more normal distribution than in 2008. During 2009 there were fewer hours of"D" stability and correspondingly more hours of "E" stability class than normally expected.
This was probably caused by a combination of normal year-to-year variation and the cooler and wetter than normal conditions that occurred in the Beaver Valley area during 2009..Meteorological Data Recdovery.-
The Meteorological Data Recovery for the calendar year met the minimum requirement of at-least 90% (as specified in Section 5 of Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23, Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants). The actual Meteorological Data Recovery is shown in the following table: PERCENT RECOVERY OF INDIVIDUAL METEOROLOGICAL PARAMETERS 99.4% = Wind Speed 35'99.4% = Wind Speed 150'98.3% = Wind Speed 500'99.4% = Wind Direction 35'99.4% = Wind Direction 150'99.4% = Wind Direction 500'99.4% = Delta Temperature (150'- 35') 1P 99.4% = Delta Temperature (500' -35' ) 2P 99.4% = Temperature 35'99.4% = Precipitation 99.3%= Average Recovery of Individual Meteorological Parameters PERCENT RECOVERY OF COMPOSITE VARIABLES 99.4% = Wind Speed 35', Wind Direction 35', Delta Temperature 1 P 99.4% = Wind Speed 150', Wind Direction 150', Delta Temperature 1P 99.0% = Wind Speed 500', Wind Direction 500', Delta Temperature 2P 99.3% = Average Recovery of Composite Variables Attachment 1 ClarifLcation Hourly meteorological data is not provided for specific periods of Abnormal Gaseous Release during the calendar quarters (as indicated in Regulatory Guide 1.21), for the following reasons: 1) All routine Gaseous Releases for the calendar year were determined to be within design objectives, where as, the ODCM Dose Limits and the ODCM Dose Rate Limits are considered to be the design objectives.
- 2) There were no Abnormal Gaseous Releases during the calendar year.For a copy of the hourly meteorological data during the calendar quarters, contact Ms. Jennifer Powell-Campbell at 724-682-4209.

SUMMARY
and INDEX Report Overview: The AREOR provides a detailed summary of the BVPS Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). During the report period, samples of air, water, shoreline sediment, milk, fish, food crops, feed crops, vegetation, and direct radiation (in the vicinity of the BVPS site)have been measured, analyzed, evaluated, and summarized.
During the report period, the BVPS radioactive effluent releases (as performed in accordance with the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) program), did not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License Technical Specifications, and/or the ODCM. The results of the REMP verify that the effluent releases did not impact the environment with measurable concentration of radioactive materials and/or levels of radiation that are higher than expected.Description of Pre-operational REMIP (1974 -1975): A pre-operational REMP program was performed during the period 1974 through 1975. At that time, samples were collected and analyzed to determine the amount of radioactivity present in the environment prior to BVPS operation.
The resulting values are considered a "baseline" to which current sample analyses can be compared.
A summary of the pre-operational data is summarized in Table 2-3 of this report.Description of Operational REMIP (1976 -Present): The operational REMP program was initiated during calendar year 1976 and continued through the report period. During the past thirty-four (34) years, radiation and radioactivity in the environment was monitored within a 10-mile radius of the site. A description of the operational REMP program is outlined in Table 2-1 of this report. In general, two (2) types of samples were collected and compared during the report period, and are described as follows: Control Samples: These samples are collected from areas that are beyond measurable influence of BVPS operation, and are used as reference data. Normal background radiation levels, or radiation present due to causes other than BVPS operation, can thus be compared to the environment surrounding the BVPS site. During the report period, three hundred fifty eight (358) analyses were performed on samples from the control locations.
In addition, eight (8) analyses were completed for TLDs at the control locations.
Results of the analyses from the control locations are summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.Indicator Samples: Indicator samples are collected to determine the radiological impact of BVPS operation in the environment.
These samples are collected from various locations near the BVPS site. At a minimum, the samples are collected from areas where the BVPS contribution would indicate the most significant radiological impact. During the report period, one thousand five hundred sixteen (1516) analyses were performed on samples collected from ninety one (91) indicator locations.
In addition, five hundred two (502)analyses were completed for TLDs at the indicator locations.
Results of the analyses from the indicator locations are also summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.iii Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
and INDEX I Comparisons:
Current analysis results from the indicator samples were compared to both current control sample values and the pre-operational baseline to determine if changes in radioactivity levels were attributable to BVPS operation.
Determination of Environmental Impact 2009 Sample Media and Analyses:
Results for drinking water, surface water, precipitation, groundwater, shoreline stream sediment, fish, cow milk, goat milk, feedstuff, foodcrops, air particulate and air radioiodine media remained consistent with previous data. Minor increases and decreases were noted in most sample media, and any positive results attributable to the BVPS operation were consistent with station data of authorized radioactive discharges, and were within limits permitted by the operating license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD).o Airborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of airborne radioiodine and airborne particulates.
The results during this report period were similar to previous years. There was no notable increase in natural products and no detectable fission products or other radionuclides in the airborne particulate media during the I year.* Direct Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via measurement I of environmental radiation doses by use of Thermo-Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs). The results of TLD processing have indicated a stable trend and compare well with previous years.* Ingestion Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of milk, fish, and foodcrops (leafy vegetables).
For milk samples, Strontium-90 (attributable to past atmospheric weapons testing), was detected at levels similar to those of previous years. The gamma spectrometry analyses only indicated positive results for naturally occurring Potassium-40 at average environmental levels. No other radionuclides were identified.
The fish samples indicated below LLD levels in each of the sample analyses.Foodcrop (leafy vegetation) samples indicated naturally occurring Potassium-40 at average I environmental levels.o Waterborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM pathway was evaluated via samples of drinking water, ground (well) water, surface (river) water and river sediment.Water samples were analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides.
Tritium was not identified in any of these water samples. Iodine-131 analysis of drinking water indicated iv 3 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
and INDEX positive analyses, but the values were consistent with Iodine-131 at the upstream surface (river) water control location, and was not due to liquid effluent releases from BVPS.Sediment samples were collected from upstream of the site, at the discharge point of BVPS liquid effluent releases, and downstream of the site. Analysis of samples indicated naturally occurring radionuclides Potassium-40, Thallium-208, Bismuth-214, Lead-212, Lead-214, Radium-226, and Actinium-228 in all results. The analyses also indicated Cesium-137, but the values were consistent with Cesium-137 at the control location, and most likely due from previous nuclear weapons tests. Cobalt-58, Cobalt-60 and Zinc-65 were identified in some of the samples that were obtained at the shoreline of the BVPS main outfall facility.
This is not unusual, because the BVPS site discharges Cobalt-58, Cobalt-60 and Zinc-65 in liquid waste effluents.
The activity detected at this sample location is consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release concentration limits set forth in the ODCM.o Other Exposure Pathways:
In addition to the samples collected from the exposure pathways described above, other media (i.e., precipitation, feedstuff and soil) were also collected.
Results were consistent with previous years, with no degrading trends.o Offsite Groundwater Monitoring:
A total of six (6) offsite groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for Tritium and by gamma spectrometry during the report period.The samples were collected on a semi-annual basis from three (3) locations within four (4)miles of the site. The locations included one (1) well in Shippingport PA, one (1) well in Hookstown PA, and one (1) well in Georgetown PA. No gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in the analyses.
All tritium results were less than the pre-operational value.o Supplemental Sample Sites: The REMP program includes supplemental sampling sites in addition to the required sites set forth in the ODCM. The supplemental sites include five (5)air sampling sites, one (1) surface water site, three (3) groundwater sites, three (3)precipitation sites, two (2) sediment sites, ten (10) soil sites, one (1) local large dairy, and one (1) milk animal feedstuff site. The soil sites are on a triennial sample frequency.
They were sampled in 2009 and are scheduled to be sampled again in 2012.* Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
During the report period, the total calculated 0-50 mile population dose was 422 man-mrem (liquid releases), and 199 man-mrem (gaseous releases).
The average individual population dose from BVPS operation was much less than<1 mrem. For information, the National Academy of Sciences 1990 BEIR Report shows that the typical dose to an individual from background (natural radiation exposure including radon) is an estimated average of 296 mrem per year. The following graph illustrates that the average individual population dose was not affected from BVPS operation.

The BVPS operational REMP program was followed throughout the report period. The results demonstrate the adequacy of radioactive effluent control at BVPS, and that BVPS operation did not adversely affect the surrounding environment.
Positive results attributable to BVPS operation were consistent with station data of authorized radioactive discharges and were within limits permitted by the NRC license and the ODCM.Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD).I I I I I I I I I I I I vi Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
and INDEX Inter-laboratory Comparison Programs:* Split Sample Program: BVPS shared split samples with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) in support of their nuclear power plant monitoring program. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of; milk (1), surface water (3), river sediment (1), fish (1), foodcrops (2), co-located air particulate/air iodine (4), and TLD (24). The split sample program was coordinated by the state, and the results are not provided with this report.* Spike Sample Program: Spiked samples were provided by an independent laboratory and then analyzed by the REMP contractor laboratory.
The samples were provided throughout the report period and included water samples, milk samples, filter paper samples and charcoal cartridge samples. All one-hundred-thirteen (113) analyses performed by the contactor laboratory on the spiked samples met the NRC comparison criteria.Special Reports: o SINCE no reporting levels were exceeded during 2009, THEN no Special Reports were required.
For information, a Special Report shall be submitted to the NRC when (1) levels of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeds the limits specified in ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, Attachment Q Table 3.12-2, and when (2) the results of the following calculation are >1.0 (for calculations performed when more than one radionuclide is detected in the sampling medium): Concentration (1) + Concentration (2) + ... > 1.0 Limit Level (1) Limit Level (2)Land Use Census Results: Highlights from the most recent Land Use Census are documented in letter NPD3NRE:0627, dated September 29, 2009 and are summarized as follows:* Nearest Residence:
The location of the Nearest Residence has not changed since the previous census. The Nearest Residence location remains at the Terwilliger Residence, 211 Ferry Hill Road, Shippingport, PA (0.406 miles, in the NE Sector).* Nearest Garden: The location of the nearest garden has changed since the previous census.The new location is at the Knisley Residence, 175 Kerona Road, Shippingport, PA (0.7 miles, NE). However, the previous sampling location at the Cox Residence, 238 State Route 168, Hookstown, PA (0.760 miles, in the SSW Sector) will remain the primary sample location because the Knisley Residence garden did not contain leafy vegetables most appropriate for sampling (cabbage) this year.* Nearest Dairy Cow: The nearest dairy cow milked has not changed since the previous census.The location remains at the Searight Dairy, 948 McCleary Road, RD 1, Hookstown, PA (2.097 miles SSW).vii Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
and INDEX o Nearest Doe Goat: The nearest location has changed since the previous census. The new 3 location is at the Ferry Farm, 227 Calhoun Road, Aliquippa, PA (3.320 miles SE).o Nearest Beef Cattle: The Beef Cattle locations in each sector were not validated during the i current census. This was not performed because (1) the census of Beef Cattle is not required by ODCM Control 3.12.1, and (2) there has been a steady decline in total number of Beef Cattle from 1977 through 2007. All associated sections were removed from the report. i o Prevailing Winds: The prevailing wind direction for Ground Releases was identified by showing the highest D/Q in the East Sector. The prevailing wind direction for Elevated I Releases was identified by showing the highest D/Q in the ESE Sector. The REMP properly monitors the environment with air particulate sampling stations in some Sectors and direct radiation TLDs in all Sectors.o 2010 Dairy Cow Sampling Locations:
Using the results of the 2009 Land Use Census, the 2010 dairy cow milk sampling locations will remain at the same locations used in 2009. The I locations are; Searight Dairy, 948 McCleary Road, RD1, Hookstown, PA (2.097 miles SSW), Halstead Dairy, 104 Tellish Diive, Hookstown PA (5.079 miles SSW), Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.158 miles SE), and Weindsheimer Dairy, RD 1 Burgettstown, PA (10.476 miles SSW).o 2010 Doe Goat Sampling Locations:
Using the results of the 2009 Land Use Census, the i 2010 Doe Goat sampling location will be at the Ferry Farm, 227 Calhoun Road, Aliquippa, PA (3.320 miles SE). 3 o D/O for Milch Animal Locations:
None of the 2009 milch animal sampling locations experienced a >20% increase in deposition parameter (D/Q). 3 o D/Q for Offsite Dose Determination:
There was no adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases.
Specifically, a linear regression analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased
>20% more than the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM methodology.
3 o D/Q Historical Comparison:
There was no adverse trend in D/Q when comparing data to the ODCM default D/Q values, which validates that there was no adverse effect on the current i ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases.
Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased
>20% more than the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM i methodology.
Therefore, a change in ODCM Receptor location and/or a change to meteorology at the current ODCM Receptor location were not required.I viii i Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE

2-64 xiii Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION 3 A. Radiation Fundamentals 3 Radiation is the conveyance of energy through space. For example, heat emanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. All matter consists of atoms, which are comprised of positively charged particles (protons), negatively charged particles (electrons), and non-charged/neutral particles (neutrons).
The relatively large particles (protons and neutrons) are packed tightly together in a cluster at the center of the atom called the nucleus, while the smaller particles (electrons) orbit around the nucleus. In an electrically neutral atom, the negative charges of the electrons are balanced by the positive charges of the protons. Due to their dissimilar charges, the protons and electrons have a strong attraction for each other. This holds the atom together.
Other attractive forces between the protons and neutrons keep the densely packed protons from repelling each other, and prevent the nucleus from breaking apart.B. Radiation and Radioactivity I The following provides an alphabetical glossary of terms associated with radiation, radioactivity, and the radioactive decay process. The terms discussed include Alpha Particles, Beta Particles, Gamma Rays, Genetic Effects, Half-life, Ionization, Isotopes, Neutrons, Radiation, Radioactive I Decay, Radionuclides and Somatic Effects.Alpha Particles:
Particulate and electromagnetic radiation each travel through matter differently because of their different properties.
Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons, are relatively I large, and carry an electrical charge of +2. Alpha particles are ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive atom at speeds ranging from 2,000 to 20,000 miles per second. However, due to its comparatively large size, an alpha particle usually does not travel very far before it loses most of its energy through collisions and interactions with other atoms. As a result, a sheet of paper or a few centimeters of air can easily stop alpha particles.
3 Beta Particles:
Beta Particles:
Beta particles are very small, and comparatively fast particles, traveling at speeds near the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Beta particles have an electrical charge of either +1 or -1. Because they are so small and have a low charge, they do not collide and interact as often as alpha particles, so they can travel farther. Beta particles can usually travel through several meters of air, but may be stopped by a thin piece of metal or wood.Gamma Rays: Gamma rays are pure energy and travel at the speed of light. They have no 3 measurable charge or mass, and generally travel much farther than alpha or beta particles before being absorbed.
After repeated interactions, the gamma ray loses its energy and vanishes.
The range of a gamma ray in air varies, depending on the ray's energy and interactions.
Very high- 3 energy gamma radiation can travel a considerable distance, where as, low energy gamma radiation may travel only a few feet in air. Lead is used as shielding material for gamma radiation because of its density. Several inches of Lead or concrete may be needed to effectively shield gamma rays. 3 Genetic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation which are observed in the offspring of the exposed individual that could occur as a result of ionizing radiation interacting with the genes in the human cells.Half-life:
The length of time an atom remains radioactive is defined in tenns of half-life, which is the amount of time required for a radioactive substance to lose half of its activity through the process of radioactive decay. Radionuclides that have infrequent emissions have a long half-life, I where as, radionuclides that have more frequent emissions have a short half-life.
I 1-1 1 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION Ionization:
Through interactions with atoms, alpha, beta, and gamma radiation lose their energy.When these forms of radiation interact with any form of material, the energy they impart may cause atoms in that material to become ions, or charged particles.
Normally, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, thus, the number of positive and negative charges cancel, in which the atom is electrically neutral. When one or more electrons are removed, an ion is formed.Ionization is one of the processes that may result in damage to biological systems.i Isotopes:
A group of identical atoms containing the same number of protons make up an element.In fact, the number of protons an atom contains determines its chemical identity.
For instance, all atoms with one proton are hydrogen atoms, and all atoms with eight protons are oxygen atoms.However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an element may vary. Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes.
Different isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties, and many are stable or non-radioactive.
An unstable or radioactive isotope of an element is called a radioisotope, a radioactive atom, or a radionuclide.
Radionuclides usually contain an excess amount of energy in the nucleus. The excess energy is usually due to a surplus or deficit in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Radionuclides such as Uranium-238, Berylium-7 and Potassium-40 occur naturally.
Others are man-made, such as Iodine-131, Cesium-137, and Cobalt-60.
Neutrons:
Neutrons come from several sources, including the interactions of cosmic radiation with the earth's atmosphere and nuclear reactions within operating nuclear power reactors.
However, neutrons are not of environmental concern since the neutron source at nuclear power stations is sealed within the containment building.
Because neutrons have no charge, they are able to pass very close to the nuclei of the material through which they are traveling.
As a result, neutrons may be captured by one of these nuclei or they may be deflected.
When deflected, the neutron loses some of its energy. After a series of these deflections, the neutron has lost most of its energy., At this point, the neutron moves about as slowly as the atoms of the material through which it is traveling, and is called a thermal neutron. In comparison, fast neutrons are much more energetic than thermal neutrons and have greater potential for causing damage to the material through 'which they travel.Fast neutrons can have from 200 thousand to 200 million times the energy of thermal neutrons.Neutron shielding is designed to slow fast neutrons and absorb thermal neutrons.
Neutron shielding materials commonly used to slow neutrons down are water or polyethylene.
The shield is then completed with a material such as Cadmium, to absorb the now thermal neutrons.
Concrete is also used to form an effective neutron shield because it contains water molecules and can be easily molded around odd shapes.Radiation:
This is the conveyance of energy through space. For instance, heatemanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. Ionizing radiation is another type of radiation and has similar properties to those of the examples listed above. Ionizing radiation consists of both electromagnetic radiation and particulate radiation.
Electromagnetic radiation is energy with no measurable mass that travels with a wave-like motion through space.Included in this category are gamma rays and X-rays. Particulate radiation consists of tiny, fast moving particles which, if unhindered, travel in a straight line through space. The three types of particulate radiation of concern to us are alpha particles, which are made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons; beta particles, which are essentially free electrons; and neutrons.
The, properties of these types of radiation will be described more fully in the Range and Shielding section.1-2 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION Radioactive Decay: Radioactive atoms, over time, will reach a stable, non-radioactive state through a process known as radioactive decay, which is the release of energy from an atom through the emission of ionizing radiation.
Radioactive atoms may decay directly to a stable state or may go through a series of decay stages, called a radioactive decay series, and produce several daughter products that eventually result in a stable atom. The loss of energy through radioactive decay may transform the atom into a chemically different element. For example, when Uranium-238 decays, it emits an alpha particle and, as a result, the atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Since the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its chemical identity, then when the Uranium-238 atom loses the 2 protons and 2 neutrons, it is transformed into an atom of Thorium-234.
Thorium-234 is one of the .14 successive daughter products of Uranium-238.
Radon is another daughter product, and the decay series ends with stable Lead-206.
The following example is part of a known radioactive decay series, called the Uranium series, which begins with Uranium-238 and ends with Lead-206.
The information provided in the upper portion of each block is the isotope name, while the information provided in the lower portion of each block is the half-life.

Somatic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation which develop in the directly exposed individual, including an unborn child. Somatic effects can be divided further into acute and chronic effects.Acute effects develop shortly after exposure to large amount of radiation.
Chronic effects are a result of exposure to radiation over an extended period of time.1-3 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION C. Units of Measurement Activity (Curie): This relates the number of atoms in a sample that disintegrate (decay) per unit of time. Each time an atom disintegrates, radiation is emitted. The curie (Ci) is the unit used to describe the activity of a material and indicates the rate at which the atoms of a-radioactive substance are decaying.
One curie indicates the disintegration of 37 billion atoms per second. A curie is a unit of activity, not a quantity of material.
Thus, the amount of material required to produce one curie varies. A smaller unit of the curie is used when discussing the low concentrations of radioactivity detected in environmental samples. For instance, the picocurie (pCi) represents one trillionth of a curie.Absorbed Dose (rad): This is a term used to describe the radiation energy absorbed by any material exposed to ionizing radiation, and can be used for both particulate and electromagnetic radiation.
The rad is the unit used to measure the absorbed dose. It is defined as the energy of ionizing radiation deposited per gram of absorbing material (1 rad = 100 erg/gm). The rate of absorbed dose is usually given in rad/hu. The rad is not used to quantify biological damage caused by ionizing radiation.
Dose Equivalent (rem): Biological damage due to alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation may result from ionizing radiation.
Some types of radiation, especially alpha particles which cause dense local ionization, can result in up to 20 times the amount of biological damage for the same energy imparted as do gamma or X-rays. Therefore, a quality factor must be applied to account for the different ionizing capabilities of various types of ionizing radiation.
When the quality factor is multiplied by the absorbed dose (Rad), the result is the dose equivalent, which is an estimate of the possible biological damage resulting from exposure to a particular type of ionizing radiation.
The dose equivalent is measured in rem. An example of this conversion from absorbed dose (rad) to dose equivalent (rem) uses the quality factor.for alpha radiation, which is equal to 20. Thus, 1 Rad of alpha radiation
= 20 rem. Since beta and gamma radiation each have a quality factor of 1, then 1 Rad of either beta or gamma radiation
= 1 rem. Neutrons have a quality factor ranging from 2 to 10.In terms of radiation, the rem is a relatively large unit. Therefore, a smaller unit, the millirem, is often used, where as, one millirem (mrem) is equal to 1/1000 of a rem.D. Lower Limit of Detection The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for environmental samples is a calculated value that represents an a-priori (before-the-fact) limit for the smallest concentration (i.e.; pCi per unit mass or volume)of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability, and with 5%probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. A calculated LLD must consider such analytical variables as standard deviation of the background counting rate, the counting efficiency, the sample size, the fractional radiochemical yield, the radioactive decay constant, and the elapsed time between sample collection and time of counting.E. Scope and Objectives of the REMP Program The environmental program consists of environmental monitoring for radioactivity in the vicinity of BVPS. Environmental sampling and analyses include air, water, milk, vegetation, river sediments, fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surrounding the site. The results of these media are assessed to determine impacts of the plant operation on the environment.
The Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) for BVPS summarizes the Radiological Environmental 1-4 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company during the report period. I F. Description of the Beaver Valley Site £BVPS is located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the Borough of Shippingport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on a 453 acre tract of land. The site is approximately one mile from Midland, Pennsylvania; five miles from East Liverpool, Ohio; and twenty-five miles from Pittsburgh, I Pennsylvania.
Figure 1-1 shows the site location in relation to the principal population centers.Population density in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. The population within a five mile radius of the plant is approximately 15,493 and the only area within the radius, of 5 concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, Pennsylvania, with a population of approximately 3,321.The site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. It extends from the river (elevation 665 feet above sea I level) to a ridge along the border south of the Beaver Valley Power Station at an elevation of 1,078 feet. Plant grade level is approximately 735 feet above sea level.BVPS is on the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, at a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is 3.3 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam, and 19.4 miles upstream from New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia border is located 5.2 river miles downstream from the site. The river flow is regulated by a series of dams and reservoirs on the Beaver, Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and their tributaries.
During the report period, the Ohio River flow (as obtained from the Corps of Engineers
-Water Resources Engineering) at I the New Cumberland Dam ranged from 16,000 cubic feet per second (minimum monthly average) to 64,800 cubic feet per second (maximum monthly average).
The mean flow during the report period was 36,113 cubic feet per second. I Water temperature of the Ohio River typically varies from 340 Fahrenheit to 750 Fahrenheit.
The minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures in July and/or August. Water quality in the Ohio River at the site location is affected primarily by the water quality of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Beaver rivers.The climate of the area may be classified as humid continental.
The predominant wind direction is typically from the southwest in summer and from the west southwest in winter. The National Climate Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/v4.html) indicates the following data for the Pittsburgh, PA area: " The total annual precipitation during the report period was 32.27 inches 5 o The average mean temperature during the report period was 51.00 Fahrenheit I I I 1-55 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION The basic features of the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 are tabulated below: Beaver Valley Unit 1 Beaver Valley Unit 2 Licensed Power Level 2900 -megawatts thermal 2900 -megawatts thermal Type of Power PWR PWR No. of Reactor Coolant Loops 3 3 No. of Steam Generators
& Type 3 -Vertical 3 -Vertical Steam Used by Main Turbine Saturated Saturated The BVPS units utilize two separate systems (primary and secondary) for transferring heat from the source (the reactor) to the receiving component (turbine-generator).
Because the two systems are isolated from each other, primary and secondary waters do not mix; therefore, -radioactivity in the primary system water is normally isolated from the secondary system. Reactor coolant in the primary system is pumped through the reactor core and steam generators by means of reactor coolant pumps. Heat is given up from the primary system to the secondary system in the steam generators, where steam is formed and delivered to the main unit turbine, which drives the electrical generator.
The steam is condensed after passing through the turbine, and returned to the steam generators to begin another steam/water cycle.1-6 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 1 -INTRODUCTION Figure 1-1 Geographical Map and Principal Communities in 50-mile Radius of the Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SHFNANGO I I I I I I i I U I I I I I I I I I I 0 20 40 MILES 1-7 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM A.

Perform Gamma (b) isotopic analysis on each sample when gross beta is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of control samples.(c) Long-term composite samples are obtained from short-term composite samples at the specified locations.(d) Composite samples are collected at intervals not exceeding 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.(e) Weekly milk sample from the Searight Dairy is analyzed for Iodine-1 31 only.(f) Milk samples are collected bi-weekly when animals are grazing. The milk samples are collected monthly at other times.(g) The fish samples contain whatever species are available.
IF adequate sample size is available, THEN the sample is separated according to species, and compositing will provide one sample of each species.IF adequate sample size is not available, THEN separation by species is not practical.
Therefore edible parts of all fish in the sample are mixed to provide one sample.(h) Composite samples are obtained by collecting an aliquot at intervals not exceeding 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> at location 2.1.

Summary of Results All results of this monitoring program are summarized in Table 2-2. This table is prepared in the format specified by the NRC via the Branch Technical Position in NUREG-1301, and in accordance with Beaver Valley Power Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. Summaries of results of analysis of each media are discussed in Sections 2-B through 2-H and an assessment of radiation doses are given in Section 2-I. Table 2-3 summarizes BVPS pre-operational ranges for the various sampling media during the years 1974 and 1975. Comparisons of pre-operational data with operational data indicate the ranges of values are generally in good agreement for both periods of time.Activity detected was attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides, BVPS effluents, previous nuclear weapons tests or to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD).The conclusion from all program data is that the operation of BVPS has resulted in no significant changes to the environment.
- 3. Quality Control Program The Quality Control Program implemented by BVPS to assure reliable performance by the contractor and the supporting QC data are presented and discussed in Section 4 of this report.4. Program Changes There were no changes of significance to the sampling program during the report period.2-5 Beaver Valley Power Station 2008 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM Table 2-2 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

Air Monitoring I. Characterization of Air and Meteorology The air in the vicinity of the site contains pollutants typical for an industrial area. Air flow is generally from the southwest in summer and from the northwest in the winter.2. Air Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program The air is sampled for gaseous radioiodine and radioactive particulates at each of ten (10)offsite air sampling stations.
The locations of these stations are listed in Table 2-1 and shown on a map in Figure 2-1.Samples are collected at each of these stations by continuously drawing two cubic feet per minute of atmosphere air through a glass fiber filter paper and a charcoal cartridge.
The glass fiber filter paper is used for collection of airborne particulates, while the charcoal cartridge is used for collection of radioiodine.
Samples are collected on a weekly basis.The charcoal cartridge is used in the weekly analysis of airborne Iodine-131.
The glass fiber filter papers are analyzed each week for gross beta, then composited by station each quarter for gamma spectrometry analysis.
In order to reduce interference from short-lived naturally occurring radioactivity (e.g.; radon and thorium), the glass fiber filter papers are decayed prior to performing beta analysis in a low background counting system.b. Procedures.
Gross Beta Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by placing !the glass fiber filter paper from the weekly air sample in a 2 inch planchet and analyzing it'in a low background, gas flow proportional counter.Gamma Emitter Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by sta~king all of the glass fiber filter papers collected from each monitoring station during the quarter and scanning this composite on a high resolution germanium gamma spectrometer.
Iodine-131 Analysis of Charcoal Cartridge:
Analysis is performed by a gamma scan of each charcoal cartridge.
2-23 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of data is presented in Table 2-2. i a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates Gross Beta: A total of five-hundred-nineteen (519) weekly samples from ten (10) locations were analyzed for gross beta. Results were comparable to previous years. Figure 2-2 indicates the weekly average concentration of gross beta in air particulates.
During the period 03/23/09 -03/30/09, the Gross Beta Results were unusually low.Specifically, the Gross Beta results for the ten (10) air particulate sample stations ranged from I 0.014 to 0.019 pCi/cubic meter, whereas the cumulative average ranged from 0.021 to 0.027 pCi/cubic meter. As noted, this condition existed at all nine (9) indicator locations and at the one (1) control location.
This issue was discussed with the REMP Administrators at the other i two FENOC sites (i.e. Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant and the Perry Nuclear Power Plant), and they also noticed similar decreases in Gross Beta results during this period. There is no consequence to unusually low sample results and the cause is most likely due to cosmic interference.
This issue is documented in SAP Order 200197646-0820.
During the period 05/26/09 -06/01/09, the Gross Beta Results were unusually low.Specifically, the Gross Beta results for the ten (10) air particulate sample stations ranged from 0.010 to 0.015 pCi/cubic meter, whereas the cumulative average ranged from 0.020 to 0.025 pCi/cubic meter. As noted, this condition existed at all nine (9) indicator locations and at the one (1) control location.
This issue was discussed with the REMP Administrators from two other FENOC sites (i.e. Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant and Perry Nuclear Power Plant), and they also noticed similardecreases in Gross Beta results during this period. There is no consequence to unusually low sample results and the cause is most likely due to cosmic interference.
This issue is documented in SAP Order 200197646-0820.
During the period 06/15/09 -06/22/09, the Gross Beta Results were unusually low. i Specifically, the Gross Beta results for the ten (10) air particulate sample stations ranged from 0.0 13 to 0.022 pCi/cubic meter, whereas the cumulative average ranged from 0.021 to 0.025 pCi/cubic meter. As noted, this condition existed at all nine (9) indicator locations and at the I one (1) control location, although the control location did not decrease as much. This issue was discussed with the REMP Administrators from two other FENOC sites (i.e. Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant and Perry Nuclear Power Plant), and they also noticed similar decreases i in Gross Beta results during this period. There is no consequence to unusually low sample results and the cause is most likely due to cosmic interference.
This issue is documented in SAP Order 200197646-0820.
During the period 10/05/09 -10/12/09, the Gross Beta Results were unusually low.Specifically, the Gross Beta results for the ten (10) air particulate sample stations ranged from 0.009 to 0.016 pCi/cubic meter, where as the cumulative average ranged from 0.021 to 0.026 pCi/cubic meter. As noted, this condition existed at all nine (9) indicator locations and at the one (1) control location.
There is no consequence to unusually low sample results and the cause is most likely due to cosmic interference.
This issue is documented in SAP Order 200197646-0820.
I 2-24i Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM Gamma Spectrometry:
The weekly air particulate samples were composited into forty (40)quarterly samples which were analyzed by gamma spectrometry.
Naturally occurring Beryllium-7 was identified in thirty-six of thirty-six (36 of 36) indicator samples, and four of four (4 of 4) control samples. No other radionuclides were detected.
A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-2.Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
There were some deviations from the required airborne particulate sampling and analysis schedule during the report period. Specifically, the following events occurred: During the sampling period of 06/22/09 -06/29/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at Shippingport, PA, Cooks Ferry Substation (Site No. 30, 0.43 miles ENE) was interrupted for 83 hours9.606481e-4 days <br />0.0231 hours <br />1.372354e-4 weeks <br />3.15815e-5 months <br /> and 53 minutes. The problem was traced to tripped breaker that apparently occurred during thunderstorm during that time period.On 07/06/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at Industry -Mckeel's Service Rt. 68, (Site No. 46.1, 2.28 miles NNE/NE) did not pass the leak check after the Air Particulate and Iodine sampling media were collected.
The station sample pump was replaced and the leak check passed. The station was then calibrated and returned to service the same day.On 07/20/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at Weirton Water Tower, Collier Way (Site No.48, 16.40 miles SSW) was found with "0.0" flow rate on Totalizer.
Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling media were changed and the Air Sample Station was returned to service. Sample volume for the week was estimated.
During the sampling period of 08/10/09 -08/17/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at Brunton's Dairy Farm (Site No. 27, 6.14 miles, SE), was found out of service due to a power outage. Total out of service time was estimated to be 164 hours0.0019 days <br />0.0456 hours <br />2.71164e-4 weeks <br />6.2402e-5 months <br /> and 30 minutes. Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling media were changed, the breaker was reset, and the air sampling station was returned to service on 08/17/09.During the sampling period of 08/17/009
-08/24/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at Shippingport, Cook's Ferry S.S. (Site No. 30, 0.43 miles, ENE) was found out of service due to a tripped breaker, possibly from storms during that week. The total out of service time was approximately 86 hours9.953704e-4 days <br />0.0239 hours <br />1.421958e-4 weeks <br />3.2723e-5 months <br /> and 16 minutes for the week, and the air sampling station was returned to service on 08/24/09.During the sampling period of 08/17/09 -08/24/09, the Air Particulate and Iodine Sampling Station at East Liver Pool Water Department (Site No. 47, 4.88 miles, WNW) was found out of service due to a tripped breaker, possibly from storms during that week. The total out of service time was approximately 99 hours0.00115 days <br />0.0275 hours <br />1.636905e-4 weeks <br />3.76695e-5 months <br /> and 35 minutes for the week, and the air sampling station was returned to service on 08/24/09.SINCE BVPS uses ten (10) airborne particulate sample stations versus five (5) required by the ODCM, THEN there was no consequence to interruption of sample collection during these periods. These conditions are documented in SAP order 200197646-0850.

Monitoring of Shoreline Stream Sediment and Soil 1. Characterization of Shoreline Stream Sediment and Soil The stream sediment (river bottoms) consists largely of sand and silt. Soil samples may vary from sand and silt to a heavy clay with variable amounts of organic material.2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program Shoreline stream sediment were collected semi-annually above the Montgomery Dam, in the vicinity of the BVPS outfall structure, and above the New Cumberland Dam. A Ponar or Eckman dredge is used to collect the sample. The sampling locations are also listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3.Although not required by the ODCM, soil samples are collected every three years. They were collected at each of ten (10) locations during 2009 and are scheduled to be collected again in 2012. At each location, twelve (12) core samples (3" diameter by 2" deep) are gathered at prescribed points on a 10 foot radius circle. Each location is permanently marked with reference pins. Each set of samples is systematically selected by moving along the radius in such a manner as to assure representative undisturbed samples.Sampling locations are listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3.Shoreline stream sediment and soil are analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides.
- b. Analytical Procedures Gamma Ermitter Analysis of Stream Sediment:
Analysis is performed in a 300 ml plastic bottle, which is analyzed by gamma spectrometry.

Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend I graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.a. Shoreline Stream Sediment Gamma Spectrometry:
A total of six (6) sediment samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring Potassium-40, Thalium-208, Lead-212, Lead-214, Bismuth-214, Radium-226 and Actinum-228, were detected in four of four (4 of 4) indicator samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples.Cesium-137:
This radionuclide was identified in three of four (3 of 4) indicator samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples. The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.07 to 0.15 pico Curie / gram) and less than the pre-operational level of 0.4 pico Curie / gram. Also, SINCE Cesium-137 was identified at the control location (upstream), THEN it was not due to plant effluent releases and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons tests.Cobalt-58:
Radionuclide Cobalt-58 was identified in one of four (1 of 4) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples which indicated Cobalt-58 was I obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility.
The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.51 to 0.51 pico Curie / gram), although this data is NOT currently less than the pre-operational level of 0.098 pico Curie / gram. I Cobalt-60:
Radionuclide Cobalt-60 was identified in two of four (2 of 4) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples that indicated Cobalt-60 were obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility.
The results were similar to previous years (current years range = 0.34 to 0.88 pico Curie / gram), although this data is NOT currently less than the pre-operational level of 0.4 pico Curie / gram.Zinc-65: Radionuclide Zinc-65 was identified in one of four (1 of 4) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples that indicated Zinc-65 were obtained at the shore line of the main outfall facility.
Although this data is NOT currently less than the pre-operational level of 0.4 pico Curie / gram, it is not an unlikely result for shoreline stream sediment near the main outfall. The plant discharges this radionuclide in liquid effluent releases.Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
There were no deviations from the required sediment sampling and analysis schedule during the report period.Summary: The identification of Cobalt-58, Cobalt-60 and Zinc-65 in the shoreline stream sediment near the main outfall facility is not unusual, because the plant discharges these radionuclides in liquid effluent releases.
The analyses are consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the ODCM.I 2-30 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM b. Soil Gamma Spectrometry:
A total of ten (10) soil samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring Potassium-40, Thalium-208, Lead-212, Lead-214, Bismuth-214, Radium-226 and Actinum-228 was detected in nine of nine (9 of 9) indicator samples and one of one (1 of 1) control samples.Cesium-137:
This radionuclide was identified in nine of nine (9 of 9) indicator samples and one of one (1 of 1) control samples. SINCE Cesium-137 was identified at the control location (upstream), THEN it was not due to plant effluent releases and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons tests.Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
There were no deviations from the required sediment sampling and analysis schedule during the report period.Summary: The identification of Cesium-137 in the soil surrounding BVPS is not unusual.The analyses are consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the ODCM.2-31 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I I I Figure 2-3 Environmental Monitoring Locations

Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program I Feedstuff:
Although not required by the ODCM, representative samples of Feedstuff (cattle feed) are collected monthly from the nearest dairy farm (Searight Dairy). See l Figure 2-6. Each sample is analyzed by gamma spectrometry.
Foodcrops (leafy vegetables):
Foodcrops are collected at garden locations during the growing season. Leafy vegetables, (e.g.; cabbage) are obtained from Shippingport, Georgetown, and Industry, Pennsylvania.
Samples are also obtained from the control location in Weirton, West Virginia.
All samples are analyzed for gamma emitters by i gamma spectrometry.
Samples are also analyzed by radiochemical analysis for Iodine-131.
- b. Procedures 3 Gamma Emitter Analysis of Foodcrops:
Analysis is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system. A high resolution germanium detector is utilized with this system. Samples of feedstuff and foodcrops are loaded into I tare weight 300 or 150 ml plastic bottles or I-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning for gamma emitters.Gamma Emitter Analysis of Feedstuff:
Although not required by the ODCM, analysis is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system.A high resolution germanium detector is utilized with this system. Samples of feedstuff and foodcrops are loaded into tare weight 300 or 150 ml plastic bottles or I-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning for gamma emitters.Iodine-131 Analysis of Foodcrops:
Analysis is performed by radiochemistry.
A stable iodide canrier is added to a chopped sample, which is then leached with a sodium hydroxide solution, evaporated to dryness and fused in a muffle furnace. The melt is I dissolved in water, filtered and treated with sodium hypochlorite.
The iodate is then reduced to iodine with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and is extracted into toluene. It is then back-extracted as iodide into sodium bisulfite solution and is precipitated as I palladium iodide. The precipitate is weighed for chemical yield and is mounted on a nylon planchet for low level beta counting.I I i I 2-36 3 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 3.

Monitoring of Local Cow and Goat Milk 1. Description
-Milch Animal Locations Samples of fresh milk are obtained from milch animals at locations and frequencies noted in i Table 2-1. The milk is analyzed for its radioiodine content, gamma emitters, Strontium-89 and Strontium-90.
Detailed field surveys are performed during the grazing season to locate and enumerate milch animals within a five (5) mile radius of the site. Survey data for the most recent survey conducted is shown in Section 3, Land Use Census. I 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program Cow milk was collected from the two (2) reference dairy farms within a 10-mile radius of the BVPS. These milk samples were obtained at the Searight Dairy Farm (2.1 miles SSW)and the Brunton Dairy Farm (6.1 miles SE).Cow milk and goat milk were also collected from two (2) other dairy farms within a 10- I mile radius of the BVPS site. The goat milk samples obtained at the Ferry Farm (3.3 miles SE) and the cow milk samples obtained at the Halstead Dairy Farm (5.1 miles SSW) were selected based on milch animal surveys and evaluations of meteorological data (i.e.; 1 deposition parameters).
They were added to the sampling program to ensure the highest potential milk pathway for radioiodine uptake is evaluated.
The dairies are subject to change based upon availability of milk or when more recent data (milch animal census, I and/or change in meteorological conditions) indicate other locations are more appropriate.
Cow milk was also collected from the one (1) control location dairy farm outside of the 10-mile radius. These milk samples were obtained at the Windsheimer Dairy Farm (10.4 miles SSW).The cow milk sample from the Searight Dairy Farm (2.1 miles SSW) is collected and i analyzed weekly for Iodine-131 using a method that ensures a high sensitivity.
Samples from each of the other dairies are collected monthly when cows are indoors and bi-weekly when cows are grazing. The monthly and/or bi-weekly sample is analyzed for principle gamma emitters (including Cesium-137 by high resolution germanium gamma spectrometry), and Iodine-131 high sensitivity analysis.
Although not required by the ODCM, the monthly and/or bi-weekly sample is also analyzed for Strontium-89, Strontium-90.
It was determined early in the year that all doe goats from the Collin's Dairy Farm (3.5 miles SE) would be dry for the entire milking season. The Ferry Farm (3.3 miles SE)agreed to participate in the sampling program during the milking season. Both sampling locations will be evaluated during 2010 for participation in the sampling program.

Procedure Iodine-131 Analysis of Milk: The milk samples are chemically prepared, and then analyzed with a low-level beta counting system. 3 Gamma Emitter Analysis of Milk: This is determined by gamma spectrometry analysis of a 1 liter Marinelli container of milk.Strontium-90 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the milk samples are prepared by adding a stable strontium carrier and evaporating to dryness, then ashing in a muffle furnace, followed by precipitating phosphates.
Strontium is purified in all samples I by the Argonne method using 3 grams of extraction material in a chromatographic column.Stable yttrium carrier is added and the sample is allowed to stand for a minimum of 5 days for the in-growth of Yttrium-90 (Y-90). Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is counted in a low-level beta counter to infer Strontium-90 activity.Strontium-89 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the Strontium-89 I activity is determined by precipitating strontium carbonate (SrCO 3) from the sample after yttrium separation.
This precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is covered with an 80 mg/cm 2 aluminum absorber for low level beta counting.
Chemical yields of strontium and yttrium are determined by gravimetric means.3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of Iodine-131 and Strontium-90 analyses (including the pre-operational period through I the report period) is shown on Figure 2-9.a. Strontium-89:
Although not required by the ODCM, a total of ninety-four (94) milk 3 samples were analyzed for Strontium-89 during the report period. Strontium-89 was not detected in any of the seventy-four (74) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the twenty (20) control samples. i b. Strontium-90:
Although not required by the ODCM, a total of ninety-four (94) milk samples were analyzed for Strontium-90 during the report period. Strontium-90 was detected in sixty-six of seventy-four (66 of 74) indicator samples and twenty of twenty (20 of 20) control samples. The levels detected were attributable to previous nuclear weapons tests and are within the normally expected range. n c. Gamma Spectrometry:
A total of ninety-four (94) milk samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period.

Environmental Radiation Monitoring
- 1. Description of Regional Background Radiation and Sources Historical information for regional background was obtained from Reuter-Stokes instruments i that were previously located within a five (5) mile radius of the BVPS site. Data is no longer available from these instruments, but historical data indicated that the background exposure rates ranged from 6 ptR/hr to 12 WtR/hr.The sources of background radiation are affected by the terrain in the vicinity of BVPS, where as, the local hills (i.e., with altitude variations of 300-400 feet) and densely wooded areas I contribute to differences in background radiation level. Other sources (e.g., Radon) are affected by the geological features of the region, which are characterized by nearly flat-laying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania Age. For information, the local sedimentary beds of i limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits partially cover the older sedimentary deposits in the northwest.
Most of the region is underlain by shale, sandstone, and some coal beds of the Conemaugh Formation.
Outcrops of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Allegheny Formation exist within the Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams.2. Locations and Analytical Procedures Ambient external radiation levels around the site were measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). I During the report period, there were a total of sixty-four (64) environmental TLD locations.
This is comprised of forty-four (44) offsite locations, along with twenty (20) fence perimeter I locations.
The offsite TLD locations are plotted on Figure 2-10, but the fence perimeter locations are not plotted due to the large scale of the figure.The TLDs were annealed at the Contractor Central Laboratory shortly before placing the TLDs in their field locations.
The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the Central Laboratory, the field location, and the Central Laboratory was corrected by transit controls maintained in lead shields at both the Central Laboratory and the field office. All dosimeters were exposed in the field for a calendar quarter, in a specific holder that contains two (2) TLDs at each location.3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the TLD results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph i of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-11. 3 TLD Analysis:
During the report period, the average quarterly external exposure rate (as measured from TLD) was 18.5 mR at the sixty-four (64) indicator locations, and 21.2 mR at the Control location.
This external exposure rate is comparable to previous years. As l expected, there was some variation in external exposure rate among locations and seasons.I 2-46 I Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM TLD Trend Evaluation:
As discussed in the 2007 report, the trends of the environmental TLD data during the period 2001 thru 2007 showed a small increase for the indicator locations, and a step (level) increase for the Control location.
The increase was traced to a change made in late 2001 with regards to the environmental TLD field holders, which resulted in an increased sensitivity to natural background beta radiation.
In summary, the increase in TLD data was consistent at all locations (including the control location), was most likely due to increased sensitivity to natural background beta radiation, and was not a consequence of BVPS gaseous effluent releases.
This issue is documented in SAP Order No. 200197646-0400.
Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
There was one deviation from the required sampling schedule (i.e.; TLD change out frequency) and analysis schedule (i.e.; TLD processing frequency) during the report period. Specifically, REMP TLD location #55-Shippingport Bridge (0.3 miles NE), was inadvertently discarded during construction activities on the bridge during the third quarter of 2009. This condition was found on 10/8/09, during the scheduled quarterly TLD change-out.
The location is considered an onsite TLD because it resides within the site boundary and is therefore not a required sample by the ODCM. This issue is documented in Condition Report 09-65670 and SAP Order No. 200197646-0860.
Summary: The quarterly TLD external exposure rates are comparable to those of previous years, except for the overall increase in 2001, as described above in the TLD Trend Evaluation.
There was no evidence of anomalies that could be attributed to the operation of BVPS. It should also be noted that the average external exposure rate at the indicator locations was less than average external exposure rate at the Control location.
Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational levels, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in external exposure in the vicinity of the site during the report period.The TLD exposure rates also confirm that changes from natural radiation levels, if any, are negligible.

Monitorin2 of Surface Water, Drinkine Water, Groundwater and Precipitation
- 1. Description of Water Sources The Ohio River is the main body of water in the area. It is the main surface water supply for generation of drinking water in the area. The Beaver Valley Power Station obtains water from the Ohio River for plant make-up water and discharges water to the Ohio River via NPDES discharge points (e.g. cooling tower blowdown, liquid effluent releases, etc).The Ohio River is the main surface water supply source for towns, municipalities and industries both upstream and downstream of the BVPS site. The nearest user of the Ohio River as a potable water source is Midland Borough Municipal Water Authority.
The intake of the treatment plant is approximately
1.5 miles
downstream and on the opposite side of the river.The next downstream user is East Liverpool, Ohio which is approximately 6 miles downstream.
The heavy industries in Midland, as well as others downstream, also use river water for cooling purposes.Groundwater occurs in large volumes in the gravel terraces which lie along the river, and I diminishes considerably in the bedrock underlying the site. Normal well yields in the bedrock are less than 10 gallons per minute (gpin) with occasional wells yielding up to 60 gpm.In general, the BVPS site experiences cool winters and moderately warm summers with ample annual precipitation evenly distributed throughout the year. The National Climate Data Center (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/cag3/v4.html) indicates the total annual precipitation during the report period for the Pittsburgh, PA area was 32.27 inches.I I I I I I I I 2-54 I Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques
- a. Surface (Raw River) Water The sampling program of river water includes three (3) sampling points along the Ohio River.Raw water samples are collected daily at the East Liverpool (Ohio) Water Treatment Plant, sample location 5, [River Mile 41.21, and the made into a weekly composite sample. One automatic river water sampler is located at the ATI-Allegheny Ludlam (formerly J&L Steel) river water intake, sample location 2.1, [River Mile 36.2]. The automatic sampler takes a 20-40 ml sample every 15 minutes and samples are collected on a weekly basis.The weekly samples are then made into a monthly composite sample for each location.The monthly composite samples are analyzed for gamma emitters.
In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared for each sample point from the monthly composites.
Quarterly composites are analyzed for Hydrogen-3 (Tritium).
A weekly grab sample is taken upstream of the Montgomery Dam, sample location 49[River Mile 29.6].

Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results of water samples (surface water, drinking water, ground water and precipitation) during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figures 2-15 through 2-18.a. Surface Water Tritium: A total of twelve (12) surface water samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the four (4) control samples.Gamma Spectrometry:
A total of thirty-six (36) surface water samples: were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in any of the twenty-four (24) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the twelve (12) control samples.Iodine- 131: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of fifty-two (52) surface water control samples were analyzed for Iodine-131 using radiochemical methods during the report period. Iodinel31 was detected in forty-three of fifty-two (43 of 52) weekly control samples, of which one (1) analysis exceeded the reporting level of 2 pico Curie / liter. The results were similar to previous years, (current years range = 0.3 to 2.4 pico Curie ! liter).The positive results were detected at the Control location, which is five (5) miles upstream (not influenced by BVPS operation).
Identification of Iodine-131 during the report period was most likely due to medical diagnostic and treatment procedures from upstream facilities.
This issue is documented in SAP Order 200197646-0770.
- b. Drinking Water Tritium: A total of twelve (12) drinking water samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the four (4) control samples.Gamma Spectrometry:
A total of thirty-six (36) drinking water samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in any of the twenty-four (24) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the twelve (12) control samples.Iodine-13 1: A total of one hundred-fifty-six (156) drinking water samples were analyzed for Iodine-131 (using radiochemical methods) during the report period. Iodine-131 was detected in fifty-five of one hundred four (55 of 104) indicator samples and forty-three of fifty-two (43 of 52) control samples. Some of the positive results at the downstream location exceeded the positive results from the upstream surface water Control location, but none of these analyses exceeded the reporting level of 2 pico Curieý / liter. Because positive results were detected in the upstream control sample, some positive results are most likely due to medical diagnostic and treatment procedures from upstream facilities, and not caused by BVPS operations.
However, the analyses are also consistent with 2-57 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the ODCM.c. Groundwater Tritium: Although not required by ODCM, a total of six (6) groundwater samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in any of the four (4) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the two (2) control samples.Gamma Spectrometry:
Although not required by ODCM, a total of six (6) groundwater samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting I radionuclides were not detected in any of the four (4) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the two (2)ycontrol samples.d. Precipitation n Tritium: Although not required by ODCM, a total of twelve (12) precipitation samples were analyzed for Tritium during the report period. Tritium was detected in two of eight (2 of 8) indicator samples, but was not detected in any of the four (4) control samples. The positive results at the Cooks Ferry Substation in Shippingport, PA (current range = 208 pico Curie / liter, with an LLD of 152 pico Curie / liter) and the East Liverpool Water I Department, in East Liverpool, OH (current range = 181 pico Curie / liter, with an LLD of 152 pico Curie / liter), are less than the pre-operational level of 300 pico Curie / liter, and are consistent with washout of tritium (from gaseous releases) during precipitation events. I Specifically, identification oftritium at this location is not unusual, because the plant discharges tritium in gaseous waste effluents, and washout does occur during precipitation.
Also, the liquid tritium activity is less than the tritium discharge data of authorized gaseous I effluent releases.
All gaseous effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. U Gamna Spectrometry:
Although not required by ODCM, a total of twelve (12)precipitation samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period.Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in any of the eight (8) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the four (4) control samples.e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
The monthly surface water composite sample at ATI-Allegheny Ludlam in Midland, PA (Site No. 2.1, 1.43 miles WNW) from September was inaccurately reported.
A positive result for Iodine-131 of 11.1 pico Curies/Liter was reported.
The ODCM does not require Iodine-131 analysis at this sample location.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the analysis was performed using gamma spectroscopy, which is not the preferred method of analysis for Iodine-131.
Additionally, it was determined that the Lower Level of Detection (LLD) for Iodine-131 by gamma spectroscopy is 15 pico Curies/ Liter. Therefore, the initial analysis I was inaccurately reported as a positive result when it was actually lower then the gamma spectroscopy LLD. To confirm the initial sample result, it was requested that the same sample be analyzed utilizing the wet chemical separation method for Iodine- 131 (EPA I Method 7500-I C). Results from the Iodine-131 wet chemical separation method were less than detectable.
This condition is documented in Condition Report 09-65940 and SAP Order No. 200197646-0870.

Summary: Data from the water sample analyses demonstrate that BVPS did not contribute a significant increase of radioactivity in the local river, in the drinking water, in the well water, or in the precipitation.
The analytical results confirm that the station assessments, prior to authorizing radioactive discharges, are adequate and that the environmental monitoring program is sufficiently sensitive.

Estimates of Radiation Dose to Man 1. Pathways to Man -Calculational Models The radiation doses to man as a result of BVPS operations were calculated for both gaseous and liquid effluent pathways using computer codes for the ARERAS/MIDAS computer system.These computer codes are equivalent to NRC computer codes XOQDOQ2, GASPAR, and LADTAP. Dose factors listed in the ODCM are used to calculate doses from radioactive noble gases in discharge plumes. BVPS effluent data, based on sample analysis were used as the radionuclide activity input.All liquid and gaseous effluent radionuclides listed in the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report were input as source terms to the computer codes.All batch and continuous gaseous effluent releases were included in the dose assessment calculations.
The release activities are based on laboratory analysis.
Meteorological data collected by the BVPS Meteorology System was also used as input to the computer codes.Except when more recent or specific data was available, the usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements or Regulatory Guide 1.109.All radioactive liquid effluents are released by batch mode after analysis by gamma spectrometry.
Each batch is diluted by cooling tower blowdown water prior to discharge into the Ohio River via the main outfall (River Mile 35.0). The actual data from these analyses are tabulated and used as the radionuclide source term input to the computer code. Except when more recent or specific data was available, the usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements or Regulatory Guide 1.109.The total population doses were evaluated for all liquid and gaseous effluent pathways out to 50 miles. For these evaluations, a total population of -4 million people was used. An estimate of the populations are listed in the BVPS-2 UFSAR Section 2.1.3.1 for 0-10 miles and Section 2.1.3.2 for 10-50 miles.2. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man -Liquid Effluent Releases During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population within 50 miles of the plant is presented in Table 2-4 for BVPS liquid effluent releases.
Also shown in this table is a comparison to natural radiation exposure.3. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man -Gaseous Effluent Releases During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population within 50 miles of the plant is presented in Table 2-5 for BVPS airborne effluent releases.
Also shown in this table is a comparison to natural radiation exposure.
The doses include the contribution of all pathways.2-65 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I 4. Conclusions Based upon the estimated dose to individuals from the natural background radiation exposure in Tables 2-4 and 2-5, the incremental increase in total body dose to the 50-mile population from the operation of BVPS -Unit 1 and 2, is less than 0.00005% of the annual background dose.The calculated doses to the public from the operation of BVPS -Unit 1 and 2, are below I ODCM annual limits and resulted in only a small incremental dose to that which area residents already received as aresult of natural background.
The doses constituted no meaningful risk to the public.I I I I I U I I I I I I 2-66 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM Table 2-4 Comparison of Natural Radiation Exposure Versus Calculated Population Dose to Man -Liquid Effluent Releases RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 TYPICAL DOSE TO INDIVIDUALS FROM NATURAL RADIATION EXPOSURE (a)Ambient Gamma Radiation Radionuclides in Body Global Fallout Radon Average Individual (Total from all sources shown above)58 millirem / year 40 millirem / y6ar<1 millirem / year 198 millirem / year 296 millirem / year (a) National Academy of Sciences, "The Effects on Populations of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation," BEIR Report, 1990 0-50 mile Population Dose from BVPS Liquid Effluent Releases Man-millirem Largest Isotope Contributor Total Dose 422 Tritium Average Dose 0.0001055 Tritium (per Individual) 0 Comparison of Individual Dose BVPS Liquid Effluent Releases Versus Natural Background Radiation millirem BVPS Liquid Effluent Release Dose 0.0001055 Natural Radiation Exposure 296 2-67 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 -ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM Table 2-5 Comparison of Natural Radiation Exposure Versus Calculated Population Dose to Man -Gaseous Effluent Releases TYPICAL DOSE TO INDIVIDUALS FROM NATURAL RADIATION EXPOSURE (a)Ambient Gamma Radiation Radionuclides in Body Global Fallout Radon Average Individual (Total from all sources shown above)= 58 millirem / year= 40 millirem / year S < 1 millirem year 198 millirem / year= 296 millirem / year (b) National Academy of Sciences, "The Effects on Populations of Exposure to Low Levels of Ionizing Radiation," BEIR Report, 1990 I I I I I I I I I I I I I U I I I I I 0-50 mile Population Dose from BVPS Gaseous Effluent Releases Man-millirem Largest Isotope Contributor Total 199 Tritium Average 0.0000498 Tritium (per Individual)

Land Use Census Overview:
A Land Use Census was conducted August 6 through September 25, 2009 to comply with: " Offsite Dose Calculation Manual procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, "Controls for RETS and REMP Programs", Attachment R, Control 3.12.2, and Surveillance Requirement 4.12.2.1 o BVPS REMP procedure 1/2-ENV-04.02, "Milch Animal Sampling Location Determination
& ODCM Procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, Control 3.12.2 Action Statements a and b Compliance Determination" The Land Use census indicated that no changes were required in the current sampling locations, and no changes were required to the methodology used for determination of offsite dose from plant releases.
A numerical summary of the Land Use Census results are provided in Table 3-1. The following information is also provided to clarify the Land Use Census as documented in letter NPD3NRE:0627, dated September 29, 2009: B. Nearest Residence:
The current location has not changed since the previous census.The current location is at 211 Ferry Hill Road, Shippingport, PA (0.406 miles NE).C. Nearest Garden >500 scift: The location of the nearest garden has changed since the previous census. The new location is at the Knisley Residence, 175 Kerona Road, Shippingport, PA (0.7 miles, NE).However, the previous sampling location at the Cox Residence, 238 State Route 168, Hookstown, PA (0.760 miles, in the SSW Sector) will remain the primary sample location because the Knisley Residence did not contain leafy vegetables most appropriate for sampling (cabbage) this year.D. Nearest Dairy Cow: The current location has not changed since the previous census.The current location is at the Searight Dairy, 948 McCleary Road, RD 1, Hookstown, PA (2.097 miles SSW).E. Nearest Doe Goat: The nearest location has not changed since the previous census. The location remains at the Ferry Farm, 227 Calhoun Road, Aliquippa, PA (3.320 miles SE). During 2009, the goat sampling location changed. The goats at the previous sampling location, (Collin's Farm 289 Calhoun Road, Aliquippa, PA -3.547 miles SE), went dry, and goats at the Ferry Farm became available for milk sampling.3-1 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E U 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 3 -LAND USE CENSUS 1 F. Projection for 2010 Dairy Cow Samplina Locations:
Using a linear regression analysis of deposition parameters (D/Q), Dairy Cow sampling locations were determined to remain at the same locations used in 2009:-Searight Dairy, 948 McCleary Road, RD1, Hookstown, PA (2.097 miles SSW) l-Halstead Dairy, 104 Tellish Drive, Hookstown, PA (5.079 miles SSW)-Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.158 miles SE)-Windsheimer Dairy, RD 1 Burgettstown, PA (10.476 miles SSW)G. Projection for 2010 Doe Goat Sampling Locations:
The linear regression analysis also indicated that there may be a Doe Goat sampling location in 2010. The Doe Goat sampling location for 2010 may be as follows:-Ferry Farm, 227 Calhoun Road, Aliquippa, PA (3.320 miles SE) 3 H. D/O for Milch Animal Locations:
None of the 2009 milch animal sampling locations experienced a >20% increase in D/Q.Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, Attachment R, Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" was not required.I. D/I for Offsite Dose Determination:
There was no adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases.
Specifically, a linear regression analysis of D/Q did 3 not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased
>20% more than the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM methodology.
Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM procedure 1/2-ODC-3.03, Attachment R, Control 3.12.2 I Action "a" and/or Action "b" was not required.J. D/) Historical Comparison:
3 There was no adverse trend in D/Q when comparing 1997 to 2009 data to the ODCM default D/Q values. This validates that there was no adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases.
Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased
>20% more than the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM methodology.
Therefore, a change in ODCM Receptor location and/or a change to meteorology at the current ODCM Receptor location are not required.I 3 I 3-2 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 3 -LAND USE CENSUS K. Discrepancies or Conditions of Note: During performance of the 2009 Land Use Census, discrepancies were discovered and documented in Condition Report 09-64044.
These discrepancies are summarized below.For years 2005-2008, two sectors (13-W and 14-WNW) within the five mile radius were erroneously reported as containing no Gardens. In 2009, communications with property owners revealed that between the years 2005-2008, Gardens were in fact present in sectors 13-W and 14WNW. These Gardens are co-located with the Nearest Residence of the sectors. During the investigation of these oversights, it was discovered that the format of the Land Use Census report changed in 2005 and these two Gardens were mistakenly omitted from the 2005-2008 Land Use Census Reports.Although Gardens were identified in the North sector (1-N), it was not until 2009 that the Nearest Garden co-located with the Nearest Residence of this sector was identified.
Upon review of historical Land Use Census Reports, it was determined that this Garden had not been previously identified.
In 2008, 5 out of 16 sectors were reported to contain no Gardens within the five mile radius. In 2009, 16 out of 16 sectors were reported to contain Gardens within the five mile radius; only one Garden was identified outside of the three mile radius (8-SSE).3-3 Beaver Valley Power Station 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report SECTION 3 -LAND USE CENSUS RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 S Table 3-1 Location of Nearest Residences, Gardens, Dairy Cows and Doe Goats DAIRY CTOR RESIDENCES GARDENS COWS DOE GOA 0 to 5 miles 0 to 5 miles 0 to 5 miles 0 to 5 mil (miles) (miles) (miles) (miles)N 1.584 1.584 None None NNE 1.661 2.0 None None NE 0.406 b 0.7 b None None ENE 0.603 1.047 None None E 0.429 2.252 None 3.402 ESE 0.476 1.713 None None SE 1.583 1.5 None a 3.320 b SSE 1.102 3.1 None None S 1.399 2.354 3.851 None SSW 0.760 0.760 2.097 b None SW 1.453 1.453 None None WSW 1.394 2.5 None None W 2.204 2.2 None None WNW 2.742 2.742 None None NW 0.885 1.033 None None NNW 0.902 2.413 2.442 None TS es a Although there are no Dairy Cows within 5 miles in this sector, a large local dairy located at 6.158 miles is included in the milk sampling program.b Distances shown in Bold print are the nearest location for that receptor.3-4 Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 4 -SPLIT SAMPLE PROGRAM and SPIKE SAMPLE INTER-LABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM A. Split Sample Program (Inter-Laboratory Comparison, Part 1 of 2): BVPS participates in a split sample program with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) in support of their nuclear power plant monitoring program.o BVPS provided split samples to PADEP throughout the report period. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of; milk (1), surface water (3), sediment (1), fish (1), and food crops (2).o PADEP has co-located continuous air particulate
& air iodine sample stations with four (4)of the BVPS locations." PADEP has co-located TLDs with twenty-four (24) of the BVPS TLDs.B. Spike Sample Program (Inter-Laboratory Comparison, Part 2 of 2):. BVPS participates in a spike sample program with an Independent Laboratory.
This program is used to independently verify sample analyses performed by the BVPS Contractor Laboratory.
o .Acceptance Criteria 1:. The NRC criteria listed in NRC Inspection Procedure 84750, 12/4/90, Inspection Guidance 84750-03 is used as acceptance criteria for comparisons of results of spiked samples between the Contractor Lab and the Independent Lab. These comparisons are performed by dividing the comparison standard (Independent Lab result)by its associated uncertainty to obtain the resolution.
The comparison standard value is multiplied by the ratio values obtained from the following table to find the acceptance band for the result to be compared.
However, in such cases where the counting precision of the standard yields a resolution of less than 4, a valid comparison is not practical, and therefore, not performed.
NRC Criteria Resolution Ratio<4 --4-7 0.50-2.00 8-15 0.60-1.66 16 -50 0.75 -1.33 51-200 0.80-1.25> 200 0.85-1.18.Acceptance Criteria 2:. BVPS also has self imposed acceptance criteria.

- Results of Split Sample Program:.The split sample program is coordinated by the state, and the results are not provided with this report.* Results of Spike Sample Program:.Based on the Inter-Laboratory comparison data, BVPS considers all analyses provided throughout the report period by the Contractor Laboratory to be acceptable with respect to both accuracy and measurement.
A comparison of the data, to the BVPS Acceptance Criteria, is provided in the following tables. There was one sample that is not within the BVPS Acceptance Criteria.
Although this sample analysis is not within the BVPS Acceptance Criteria, it is within the NRC Acceptance Criteria.
The BVPS acceptance criteria are self imposed FENOC internal goals and can be considered stringent compared to the NRC acceptance criteria.
The deviation occurred in the second quarter for milk for Sr-90 (-34.73%).
