Executive Summary The data from the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) indicate that SONGS had a negligible radiological environmental impact during 2009.
Preparation of the 2009 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) used the data reduction protocol described in NUREG/CR-4007. A meaningful analysis of data at, near, or below the detection limit must necessarily involve a consideration of the degrees of uncertainty associated with the data. The data have been summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B. The plant related radionuclides, including Cs-137 (cesium-137) in soil and sediment, as well as I-131 (iodine-131) in kelp, detected above the a posteriori MDC (minimum detectable concentration) are attributable to fallout from nuclear weapons testing (Cs-137) and medical administrations of radionuclides (I-131). These isotopes have been detected at indicator as well as control locations in past years. The naturally occurring radionuclides, including Be-7 (beryllium-7), K-40 (potassium-40), and Th-228 (thorium-228),
were detected in both control and indicator locations at substantially similar concentrations and are not related to the operation of SONGS. Tritium (H-3, hydrogen-3) was detected in one ocean water sample at a level below the a priori LLD. The single detection of tritium in ocean water in 2009 is attributable to the sampling being taken shortly after the planned, controlled discharge of a waste stream from SONGS. Subsequent samples did not detect tritium in ocean water.
Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed discussion. No other SONGS related radionuclides were detected in REMP samples during 2009.
INTRODUCTION SONGS consists of two pressurized water nuclear reactors housed in separate containment buildings. Unit 1 attained initial criticality June 1967, was permanently retired from service in November 1992. The removal of Unit 1 structures was completed in 2008. Unit 2 attained initial criticality in July 1982 and Unit 3 in August 1983. Both units continue to operate today.
The purpose of the REMP is to quantify ambient radiation levels in the environs of SONGS, and to identify and quantify concentrations of radioactivity in various environmental media in the vicinity of SONGS that have a potential radiation exposure pathway to a member of the general public. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) are used to measure direct radiation levels.
Sampled environmental media include soil, shoreline sediment (beach sand), air (particulate &
iodine), local crops, non-migratory marine species, kelp, drinking water, ocean water, and ocean bottom sediments. Each of the samples was analyzed for both naturally-occurring and SONGS-related radionuclides.
The REMP is conducted in accordance with Section 5.0 of the SONGS Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
To conform with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV B.2, data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment have been compared against predicted (calculated) values to evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive material 1
released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. Refer to Appendix B for a correlation of effluent to environmental concentrations.
A land use census was performed in 2009 to ensure that changes in the use of areas at and beyond the SITE BOUNDARY are identified and that modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census. Appendix F of the report identifies changes to the census and the resultant dose increase, if any, to individuals from principal pathways of exposures in conformance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV. B.3.
OBJECTIVES
- 1. To fulfill the radiological environmental monitoring requirements of the ODCM
- 2. To detect any significant increase in the concentration of radionuclides in critical pathways.
- 3. To detect any significant change in ambient gamma radiation levels.
- 4. To verify that the operation of SONGS Units 2 and 3 has a negligible effect on the health and safety of the public and the environment.
SAMPLE COLLECTION Samples of various environmental media were obtained to meet the stated objectives. The selection of sample types was based on established critical pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to individuals, and the evaluation of data during the operational phase. Sampling locations were selected with consideration given to site meteorology, local demography, and land uses. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of REMP sample locations as described in Table 5-4 of the ODCM.
Sampling locations were divided into two classes, indicator and control. Control stations were at locations considered to be unaffected by SONGS operations. All others are considered indicator locations and may be potentially affected by SONGS operations.
REGULATORY LIMITS, GUIDANCE, AND REQUIREMENTS
- 10CFR50 The Code of Federal Regulations Title 10, Part 50, Appendix I.
- 40CFR190 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established environmental radiation protection standards for nuclear power plants in 40CFR190. The standards for normal operation recommend that the dose from all discharges of radioactivity should not exceed 25 mrem/yr. These limits are applicable to the sum of both liquid and gaseous effluents 2
and direct radiation. The environmental doses calculated at SONGS are a small fraction of the dose limits established by the EPA.

A custom data management software package was used to perform the statistical analysis and tabulation of the data.
The REMP data are reviewed for accuracy and comparison against NRC reporting levels, and then entered into the REMP database. One of the REMP menus flags measurements exceeding the administrative levels (10% of the NRC reporting levels) established by Southern California Edison (SCE). The a posteriori MDC is compared to the maximum value for the a priori Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) specified in the ODCM. This ensures that regulatory limits for the maximum LLD are met.
The impact of SONGS on the surrounding environment was assessed through a series of analyses. These analyses included: data reduction, comparisons of indicator to control locations, and summary (Appendix B); comparison of operational to preoperational environmental data (Appendix D); summary of deviations from sampling requirements and corrective actions taken (Appendix E); and the results of the 2009 Land Use Census (Appendix F).
All Radiological Environmental Monitoring activities for San Onofre are assessed in accordance with Quality Assurance requirements as defined in Regulatory Guide 4.15. The Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) participated in an interlaboratory comparison program in partial fulfillment of the quality assurance requirements for environmental monitoring. The CEAL participated in cross check programs which meet the intent of Reg.
Guide 4.15. Refer to Appendix C.

DETECTION LIMIT TERMINOLOGY This report utilizes three distinct terms to describe the concept of lower limit of detection at various detection confidence levels. The terms are briefly defined below. For a more thorough discussion, the reader should refer to NUREG/CR-4007.
Critical level - Defined as 1.64 sigma. For a sufficiently large database of [isotopically analyzed] sample results, with the true activity being equal to zero, approximately 5% of the results are expected to be above the critical level.
Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) - The LLD is the a priori (before the fact) lower limit of detection. This value is calculated for each isotope and every matrix based on typical or expected values of decay time, sample size, counter efficiency, etc. These values are listed in the ODCM and represent the maximum permissible value for the lower limit of detection for specified sample media.
Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) - The MDC is the a posteriori (after the fact) lower limit of detection based on actual decay time, measured sample size, counting efficiency as determined by recent calibration, etc. The MDC is compared to the LLD to verify that the measurement met the ODCM requirements for the maximum value of the LLD for the listed analytes. Values above the MDC are presumed to represent detected activity at the 95%
detection confidence level. Refer to NUREG 1576.
The 2009 SONGS REMP data required by the ODCM have been summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B.

CONCLUSION Levels of radioactivity in environmental media are a function of several factors including: site release rates; meteorology; number, location, size and date of nuclear weapons tests; seasonal variability of fallout; soil conditions; local terrain and variability in the natural environment.
Radiological environmental data collected throughout 2009 have been evaluated to determine the impact, if any, of San Onofre operations on the surrounding environment. To accomplish this, several methods of evaluation were employed, namely:
- 1. Compilation and verification of all data, as well as a determination of those data considered to be significantly greater than background levels.
- 2. Correlation of effluent concentrations to concentrations in the environment. Refer to Appendix B.
- 3. Examination of time-dependent variations of pertinent radioisotopes in selected environmental media throughout the year at both indicator and control locations.
- 4. Comparison of radioactivity in various media in 2009 against the levels observed in pre-operational years.
- 5. Historical trending of radionuclides in various media during operational years.
In comparing these findings to the conservatively-defined limits of the facility operating licenses, it is concluded that the radiological environmental impact of the operation of SONGS through 2009 has been negligible, and the resulting dose to a member of the general public is negligible.

APPENDIX B
SUMMARY
, RESULTS, AND DISCUSSIONS OF 2009 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA 19
SUMMARY
To assess the changes or trends in the radioactivity level in the environment over the past year, the data from January 2009 to December 2009 were evaluated. The 2009 REMP data were evaluated according to the criteria described in NUREG/CR-4007 and with the methodology described by Currie (1968).* The REMP data above the critical level (1.64 times one sigma) for selected radionuclides, were reduced and tabulated in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data in accordance with the format specified in Reg. Guide 4.8. The 2009 SONGS REMP database, when examined in accordance with the Currie data reduction protocol, leads to the conclusion that SONGS had no statistically significant radiological environmental impact. A summary of the type and number of REMP samples obtained in 2009 appears in Table B-2.
As noted above, the SONGS REMP data base behaves substantially similar to a data base with values statistically indistinguishable from zero for station related isotopes. The exceptions, summarized in Table B-1, include isotopically analyzed samples with station related activity reported above the a posteriori MDC. All sample values were significantly less than the NRC reporting levels. I-131 was detected in kelp, tritium was detected in ocean water, and Cs-137 was detected in soil. These radionuclides have been detected in control as well as indicator locations in previous years. Cs-137 is commonly detected in environmental sediment samples because of fallout from weapons testing. Cs-137 has been intermittently detected in the indicator and in the control soil samples in past years and no correlation between Cs-137 level in soil and proximity to the plant has been observed. The data strongly suggest that the low level Cs-137 in certain soil samples is due to fallout from nuclear weapons testing and from Chernobyl. We conclude that the low level Cs-137 in soil is not due to the operation of SONGS. I-131 is a medically administered radionuclide which is often detected in sewage plant outfalls The I-131 detected in the kelp samples is attributable to sewage plant discharges external to SONGS.
Tritium in one ocean water indicator sample was detected at a level less than the a priori LLD (lower limit of detection) but greater than the lower, sample specific, a posteriori MDC (minimum detectable concentration). The detected ocean water tritium is attributable to the operation of SONGS. We conclude that SONGS had a negligible radiological environmental impact during 2009.
Historical trending of data near and below the detection limits is necessarily limited. The concentration of radionuclides in the environs of SONGS has trended downward since the early to mid 1980s. In the past decade only a few REMP analysis results have been above the detection limit. These isotopes are detected in control as well as indicator locations and there are known sources for these radionuclides external to SONGS. The overall trend of the REMP data at SONGS is de minimis levels of anthropogenic radioactivity with occasional samples showing radioactivity above the a posteriori MDC.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS OF 2009 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA A. Direct Radiation The purpose of this program element was to measure the quarterly environmental gamma radiation in the vicinity of SONGS. To accomplish this task, calcium sulfate (CaSO4) thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were placed at 38 indicator and 11 control locations.
They were collected and analyzed quarterly in accordance with ANSI-N545 standards. TLDs within five miles of SONGS were considered indicator locations. TLDs located greater than five miles from SONGS are considered control locations. The indicator locations are selected as inner and outer rings as required by the ODCM. Additional TLDs are placed at locations of interest such as schools and hospitals.
Six laboratory control TLDs were analyzed quarterly. TLD numbers 17, 18, and 60 are used for background dose normalization. TLDs #A and #B are used to compensate for transit dose. A fader TLD is used to evaluate for the time and temperature dependent "fade" that may affect dosimeter data.
After the samples were analyzed, the measured doses were corrected for pre and post field exposure times. The average indicator location dose was 17.26 mR with a range of 10.65 to 24.94 mR. The average control location dose was 16.47 mR with a range of 12.88 to 20.11 mR.
The routine 2009 REMP TLD data has been grouped into four categories based on distance from SONGS for the purposes of trending any correlation between distance from SONGS and total annual dose.
2009 REMP TLD data (Average Dose vs. Distance from SONGS)
Average Quarterly Dose in mR TLDs 0.5 miles from SONGS 19.10 TLDs > 0.5 miles AND 1.0 mile from SONGS 15.24 TLDs > 1.0 mile AND 5.0 miles from SONGS 16.97 TLDs > 5 miles from SONGS (Control TLDs) 16.47 Statistically, the control and indicator doses beyond the EAB (Exclusion Area Boundary)are the same value. The routine indicator location at the South Yard Facility (0.4 miles ESE from the Units 2/3 midpoint) had the highest TLD average in 2009. The operation of SONGS had no impact beyond the EAB as measured by this sample medium.
Figure 2A compares environmental radiation levels of indicator and control locations for the operational year 2009 and for previous years. This figure shows the close correlation between the control and indicator location TLD dose data.
21
Quality Control Duplicate Direct Radiation Samples Duplicate QC TLDs were installed adjacent to TLD #66 and TLD #67. Refer to Appendix C for results. These TLDs were not required by the ODCM and are not included in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data.
ISFSI Direct Radiation Samples ISFSI (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation) TLDs were deployed in the vicinity of the ISFSI. Data from these TLDs have not been included in the statistical summary of REMP data since these TLDs are not required by the ODCM. The ISFSI data are listed and discussed in Appendix J.
B. Airborne Particulate, Iodine, and Composite Isotopic Analyses Air particulate samples were collected on a weekly basis from eight indicator locations and from one control location. The samples were analyzed for gross beta activity, I-131, and composited quarterly for gamma isotopic analysis. Sample locations were selected according to the requirements of the ODCM.
Gross beta analysis is a measure of total radioactivity of beta-emitting radionuclides in a sample.
Beta radiation is emitted by many radionuclides, but beta decay gives a continuous energy spectrum rather than the discrete energy lines or peaks associated with gamma radiation. Gross beta measurements only indicate whether the sample contains normal or abnormal concentrations of beta-emitting radionuclides and does not identify specific radionuclides. Gross beta measurement data serves as a screening tool to determine if further analysis is required.
All gross beta activity analysis results were above the a posteriori MDC. The concentration of gross beta activity in the samples collected from the indicator locations ranged from 0.0169 to 0.0862 pCi/m3, averaging 0.0438 pCi/m3 of air. The concentrations of gross beta activity in the samples from the control locations ranged from 0.0225 to 0.0777 pCi/m3, averaging 0.0441 pCi/m3 of air. Figure 3D shows the variation in gross beta activity level in 2009 at different locations. This graph show a close correlation between the indicator and control location data.
Per the requirements of the ODCM, Section 5, Table 5.1, an assessment was performed to determine whether the gross beta activity of the indicators exceeded 10 times the background (control location #15). The results showed that indicator locations maximum gross beta activity in air in 2009 was 0.0862 pCi/m3 and the 2008 control location average was 0.0416 pCi/m3. No action was taken since no indicator location value exceeded ten times the annual average gross beta activity of the control location data from the previous year.
All samples analyzed for I-131 were less than the a posteriori MDC and all I-131 samples were less than the a priori lower limit of detection (LLD). The airborne indicator and control I-131 REMP samples taken in 2009 at SONGS were statistically indistinguishable from zero.
No samples yielded station related isotopic results confirmed above the a posteriori MDC.
Quarterly composite gamma spectral analysis analyses yielded naturally occurring beryllium-7 (Be-7) above the a posteriori MDC.
22
We conclude that the operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
C. Ocean Water Monthly ocean water samples were collected from three indicator locations in the vicinity of each station discharge and from the control location at Newport Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides. Quarterly composite ocean water samples were analyzed for tritium according to ODCM requirements.
Throughout 2009, only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in the monthly gamma spectral analyses of ocean water. Monthly ocean water samples were also analyzed for tritium, consistent with the State of California Department of Public Health (DPH) split sample program.
The sample taken in October 2009 near the Unit 2 diffusers represents surface water in the vicinity of the Unit 2 diffuser discharge plume. The October 2009 station B, Unit 2 Outfall, indicator ocean water tritium analysis results were below the a priori LLD, but above the a posteriori MDC. The concentration of H-3 (tritium) measured in ocean water was consistent with a calculated value based on the level of radioactivity in a planned, controlled discharge of a waste stream from SONGS approximately three hours before the sample was taken and on the known mixing conditions. The October 2009 station B H-3 sample result was 613 pCi/l with an MDC of 425 pCi/l. The California Department of Public Healths analysis of the October 2009 station B split sample yielded a sample result of 387 pCi/l H-3 with an MDA (Minimum Detectable Activity) of 238 pCi/l. The amount of H-3 detected in ocean water is well below all regulatory limits. Because no drinking water pathway exists at SONGS, the public dose consequence is negligible. The remaining 2009 monthly DPH and SONGS ocean water tritium analysis results were less than the a posteriori MDC.
Naturally occurring potassium-40 (K-40) was detected in all ocean water samples obtained in 2009. Excluding naturally occurring radionuclides, the ocean water gamma isotopic database is statistically indistinguishable from a database with zero activity.
The data indicate that the operation of SONGS had a negligible impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.Monthly ocean water samples were collected from three indicator locations in the vicinity of each station discharge and from the control location at Newport Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides. Quarterly composite ocean water samples were analyzed for tritium according to ODCM requirements.
D. Drinking Water In 2009, drinking water samples were collected on a monthly basis from one indicator location and from the Oceanside control location. Samples were analyzed for tritium, gross beta, and naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma emitting radionuclides. There is no drinking water pathway for liquid effluent at SONGS.
23
No station related radionuclides were detected in drinking water during 2009. The gross beta activity is due to naturally occurring radionuclides. The drinking water gamma isotopic database is statistically indistinguishable from a database with zero activity. The operation of SONGS had no impact on this sample medium.
E. Shoreline Sediment (Beach Sand)
Beach sand was collected semiannually in 2009 from three indicator locations and from a control location situated in Newport Beach. After collection, the samples were analyzed for plant-related and naturally-occurring radionuclides. Naturally occurring K-40 and thorium-228 (Th-228) were detected in all samples. No plant related radionuclides were reported above the a posteriori MDC. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
F. Ocean Bottom Sediments Ocean bottom sediments were collected in the vicinity of each of the three SONGS discharge locations and at the Newport Beach control location. The samples were analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and station-related radionuclides. Naturally occurring K-40 and Th-228 were detected in ocean bottom sediment samples collected during 2009.
Four non-ODCM ocean bottom sediment samples were obtained from two locations, Unit 2 outfall conduit and Unit 3 outfall conduit. The conduit samples were collected to measure the radiological environmental effect potentially resulting from the minor conduit leakage. During 2009, all of the conduit sample analysis results were below the MDC for station related radionuclides.
We conclude that the operation of SONGS had no measurable impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
G. Non-Migratory Marine Species (Flesh)
Species of adult fish, crustacea and mollusks, were collected on a semi-annual basis at the SONGS Unit l outfall, the SONGS Units 2/3 outfall and from Laguna Beach control location.
The flesh portion of each sample type was analyzed for gamma-emitting station-related and naturally occurring radionuclides. The results were subsequently reported to SCE in terms of wet sample weights. Because results based on a wet sample weight are most useful for calculating doses, the results of sample analyses are summarized in terms of "as received" wet weights. No plant related radionuclides were detected above the a posteriori MDC.
Naturally-occurring K-40 was detected in most marine species samples collected during 2009.
No plant related isotopes were reported above the a posteriori MDC. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium. The potential dose to members of the public from consumption of marine species near SONGS is negligible.
24
H. Local Crops Fleshy and leafy crops were collected semiannually in 2009 from the SONGS garden and from the control location 21 miles from SONGS Units 2/3 midpoint in sector F. The crop samples were analyzed quantitatively for naturally occuring and plant related radionuclides. Only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected. SONGS had no measurable impact on this sample medium.
I. Soil To determine if there is evidence of a build-up of radionuclides in the land near SONGS, indicator soil samples were collected from the East Site Boundary (Former Visitor's center), Old Route 101, Basilone Road, and Camp San Onofre. A control sample was obtained from Oceanside. Surface soil was collected from all indicator and control locations at the depth of 3 inches. The sampling protocol is consistent with the procedure described in HASL-300. Soil sampling is not required by the ODCM.
Soil samples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides using gamma spectral analysis. All 2009 soil samples yielded naturally occurring K-40 and Th-228. Cs-137 was detected in two indicator samples, as well as the control sample.
Cs-137 is often detected in environmental sediment samples and the presence of Cs-137 is most likely related to nuclear weapons testing fallout.
Cs-137 and strontium-90 (Sr-90) were detected in soil profile analyses conducted in previous years. These radionuclides are mostly due to the nuclear weapons testing fallout depositing on soil and retention of these radionuclides due to their long half lives. The presence of Cs-137 in the indicator and the control locations in previous years supports the conclusion that the major source of this radionuclide is fallout deposition. During 2009, the operation of SONGS had a negligible impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
J. Kelp Sampling Kelp was collected in April and October of 2009 from the San Onofre kelp beds, San Mateo kelp bed, Barn kelp bed, the Dana Point Kelp Bed, the Capistrano Beach Reef, the San Clemente Pier, the Wheeler North Artificial Reef, and from the Salt Creek control location. Upon collection, the samples were analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and Station-related radionuclides. The radionuclides detected in 2009 included K-40 and I-131. K-40 is naturally occurring and not related to the operation of SONGS. I-131 was detected in all sixteen kelp samples collected during 2009 and is most likely attributable to the San Juan Sewage Plant effluents.
I-131 has been detected at indicator and control locations in previous years. The northern control locations are too far away and in the predominantly upstream current direction for the I-131 activity to be attributable to SONGS. The I-131 activity in kelp data, graphically presented in Figure 4, shows a relatively close correlation between indicator and control locations over a 25 year period - further supporting the assessment that the likely source for this radionuclide is external to SONGS. Refer to Figure 5-6 for the relative location of the kelp beds, the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall, and the SONGS outfalls.
25
K. Deer Sampling Deer meat and bone samples were collected in 2009 because locally harvested deer meat is a potential pathway to humans. Road kill deer were sampled in accordance with a California Fish and Game scientific take permit issued to the Camp Pendleton Game Warden. The 2009 analysis results were less than the a posteriori MDC (Minimum Detectable Concentration) for SONGS related radionuclides. The deer meat and bone data collected to date are consistent with the activity attributable to fallout. Effects from the operation of SONGS were not detected in this sample media.
L. Correlation of Effluent Concentrations to Concentrations in the Environment In accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, IV.b.2 data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment have been evaluated to determine the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure.
The REMP soil Cs-137 levels in the control and indicator samples are statistically equal which leads to the conclusion that Cs-137 in soil is attributable to residual fallout from external anthropogenic factors such as nuclear weapons testing and Chernobyl. The predicted concentration for Cs-137 in soil (based on effluent data reported in the 2008 SONGS Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report) is about 2 to 3 orders of magnitude lower than the measured concentration of Cs-137 in soil. The effluent based correlation calculation indicates that even if there were no Cs-137 in soil from sources external to SONGS, the Cs-137 concentration in soil attributable to the operation of SONGS would be undetectable and the resultant doses to individuals would be negligible.
Data from 2009 continue to support the historical conclusion that the measured concentration of I-131 in kelp is not increasing near SONGS, and is not statistically higher around SONGS than it is at the control locations. I-131 in kelp is due to the release of medical administrations to the ocean from sewage treatment facilities. The data showing that environmental concentrations are not statistically higher around SONGS than at the control locations are consistent with the low levels of radio-iodine released during 2009. The effluent based correlation calculation indicates that I-131 activity in kelp attributable to the operation of SONGS would be undetectable and the resultant doses to individuals would be negligible.
The control and indicator samples of deer meat and bone samples collected during 2009 are statistically equal and all less than the a posteriori MDC for SONGS related radionuclides. This data is consistent with the low levels of Sr-90 and Cs-137 released from SONGS. The evaluation indicates that Cs-137 activity in deer meat attributable to the operation of SONGS would be undetectable and the resultant doses to individuals would be negligible.

Unique sampling conditions (collection closely timed with a release) and the variability of the local current conditions may have led to detectable concentrations of tritium in these samples and would be expected. The remaining samples show no detectable concentration of tritium and demonstrate that environmental concentrations are consistent with the low levels of tritium released during 2009. The evaluation indicates that tritium activity in ocean water attributable to the operation of SONGS would result in negligible doses to individuals.

- 1. The total number of analyses listed above include REMP samples not required by the ODCM, including air sampler # 14, air sampler # 16, San Clemente drinking water sample # 2, and additional control kelp samples. These samples were not collected for all of 2009. Collection of air sampler # 14 was discontinued in 2009. Collection of air sampler # 16 (control) was started in 2009. The San Clemente drinking water sample (collection requested by the City of San Clemente) was not available for three months during 2009. One ODCM specified direct radiation sample was not available during 2009. Additional control kelp samples were obtained to track I-131 (iodine-131) activity in kelp attributable to municipal waste water discharges. Therefore, the total number of analyses will not always equal the product of the ODCM specified sample frequency times the total number of ODCM locations.

5.1 Mi. NW Be-7 (Beryllium 7) is a naturally occurring radioactive isotope produced by cosmic radiation. Be-7 was confirmed above the detection limit in all the SONGS air particulate quarterly composite samples analyzed in 2009. The results for all plant related radionuclides were less than the a posteriori MDC.
The term "< LLD," as used above, means that all results were less than the critical level (1.64 x one sigma). The critical level is used to determine if a bias exists in the database and is not used to determine if a particular sample result should be considered other than background. The numerical values for Cs-134 (Cesium-134) and Cs-137 (Cesium-137) listed in this table are those values above the critical level and do not indicate that these radionuclides were detected in any samples.

During 2009 gross beta was confirmed above the a posteriori MDC in most drinking water samples. Gross beta is attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides.
All the other analysis results were less than detectable for SONGS related radionuclides.
The term "< LLD," as used above, means that all results were less than the critical level (1.64 x one sigma). The critical level is used to determine if a bias exists in the database and is not used to determine if a particular sample result should be considered other than background.

I-131 (iodine 131) was also confirmed above the a posteriori MDC in twelve samples. I-131 is known to be a constituent of sewage plant discharges due to medically administered I-131. The activity of I-131 in the control sample (Salt Creek - about 11 miles up coast from SONGS) has is historically been higher than the I-131 activity in kelp closer to SONGS. I-131 in kelp is attributable to sewage plant effluents.

All REMP samples are collected, shipped, and analyzed in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15. Marine radiological environmental samples are collected by a vendor, MBC Environmental, per the vendor=s Quality Assurance manual. REMP sample analysis is performed by the Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) in accordance with the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan. During 2009 the CEAL was GEL (General Engineering Laboratory). The CEAL for REMP TLDs was Areva.
INTERLABORATORY CROSS-CHECK PROGRAM:
The CEAL participates in a number of independent cross check programs, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Analytics cross-check programs. A summary of the cross check data is included in Table C-1. The CEAL=s performance meets the criteria described in Reg. Guide 4.15. Discrepancies and non-agreement results are resolved through a formal Condition Report evaluation process.

ANNUAL DUPLICATE TLDs An annual duplicate TLD package is collocated with TLD 67.
TLD 67 TLD 201 (annual duplicate) average dose in mR dose in mR per standard quarter per standard quarter (July 2008 to July 2009) (July 2008 to July 2009) 17.35 17.08 COMPARISON OF TLD TO PIC DATA, PIC 1 PIC 3 PIC 4 PIC 8 16.83 17.33 17.81 13.36 TLD 10 TLD 40 TLD 61 TLD 65 15.38 17.86 18.74 11.09 PIC data converted to mR per standard quarter compared to the 4th Quarter co-located 2009 TLD data.
CALIBRATION OF AIR SAMPLER VOLUME METERS The Shop Services and Instrumentation Division of SCE performs an annual calibration procedure using standards referenced to NIST on all REMP air sampler gas meters. When the gas meters are removed from service, the meter is calibrated and the calibration reports are reviewed for bias. This is an a posteriori review of the gas meter performance to evaluate method bias and to identify possible outlier analysis results. In 2009, three (3) gas meter failed to meet this criterion at all calibrated flow rates and one gas meter was inoperable. A review of the affected gross beta data has revealed no meaningful anomalies. Thus no discernable impact to the REMP database or conclusions resulted from use of the out of tolerance gas meter.

APPENDIX D COMPARISON OF OPERATIONAL TO PREOPERATIONAL DATA AND ANALYSIS OF TRENDS 67
Comparison of Operational to Preoperational Data and Analysis of Trends Unit 1 achieved criticality on June 14, 1967 and was permanently retired from service on November 30, 1992. Unit 2 attained initial criticality on July 26, 1982 and Unit 3 on August 29, 1983.
A variety of environmental samples were analyzed and the analytical results (January 1, 1979 to July 31, 1982) were compared with the 2009 operational data obtained for SONGS Units 2/3.
The following media were evaluated and compared with the operational data of SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3:
A. External Radiation F. Ocean Bottom Sediments B. Air Particulates G. Marine Species C. Radioiodine H. Local Crops D. Ocean Water I. Soil E. Shoreline Sediment (sand) J. Kelp K. Drinking Water All of the measurements obtained from the SONGS Unit 1 operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) during the period from January 1979 to July 1982 are used as the preoperational baseline for SONGS Units 2/3. This is in accordance with San Onofre Units 2/3, Environmental Report, Operating License Stage, Appendix 6A, Pre-operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring, May 31, 1978. Comparisons of preoperational data to 2009 operational data are possible for each of the exposure pathways to man, namely: (1) direct radiation, (2) air particulates (inhalation), and (3) ocean water (waterborne). Comparisons can also be made between preoperational and operational data for ocean bottom sediment data to ascertain if there has been any significant increase in radioactivity in ocean bottom sediments in the vicinity of the SONGS Units 2/3 outfalls.
Overall, the preoperational data are much higher than the operational data. The decrease in radioactivity is due primarily to the cessation of nuclear weapons testing and to the decay of fallout radionuclides. There is a close correlation between indicator and control data over several decades. See Figures 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 3C and 4. There are no indications of adverse effects from SONGS on the environment.
A. Direct Radiation SONGS Units 2/3:
Direct radiation measurements for the SONGS REMP were made quarterly at 38 indicator locations and 11 control locations in 2009. (See Appendix I for ISFSI TLD data). Direct radiation samples (TLDs) were collected at a number of inner and outer ring locations as specified by the ODCM. During the preoperational period from January 1979 to July 31, 1982, the indicator stations ranged from 16.1 to 46.6 millirem. The preoperational indicator average was 25.3 mR. The preoperational control range was 19.3 to 30.1 and the control mean was 23.1 mR. During the 2009 operational year for Units 2/3, the routine indicator TLD locations ranged 68
from 10.65 to 24.94 millirem, averaging 17.26 millirem while the control locations ranged from 12.88 to 20.11 millirem with an average of 16.47 millirem.
Factors such as meteorology, geographic location, the fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and seasonal fluctuations account for the variability in the data seen during the preoperational period for each location. The decrease in radiation levels at all TLD sample locations is attributable to the curtailment of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and the continued decay of fission products from previous nuclear weapons tests.
The average direct radiation doses were larger at both indicator and control locations during the preoperational period than during the 2009 operational period for SONGS Units 2/3. The larger average observed during the preoperational time span may be attributable to Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapons tests on March 14, 1978 and on October 15, 1980. The large average of the annual direct radiation levels seen at most TLD sample locations during 1986 and 1987 is attributable to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident that occurred April 26, 1986.
Figure 2A and 2B compares the environmental radiation levels of selected indicator and control locations. Simultaneous variation in the radiation levels at both the control and indicator locations show that the variations are due to factors external to SONGS. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
B. Air Particulates SONGS Units 2/3:
From January 1979 through July 1982 (considered to be the preoperational period for SONGS Units 2/3), there is a period of noticeably higher gross beta activity in air at all sample locations.
This period extends from the fourth quarter of 1980 through the fourth quarter of 1981. These higher activity levels are attributable to the Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapons test conducted on October 15, 1980.
Figures 3A, 3B, and 3C compare the monthly average gross beta particulate in air activity levels of selected indicator locations with the control location over a period of 32 years (January 1976 to December 2009). The data clearly show a close correlation between the indicator and control locations for the entire time period covered. The various spike increases in gross beta activity at all sample locations are closely grouped and timed to coincide with known events external to SONGS with worldwide radiological impact. These events include: Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapons testing on September 17, 1977; March 14, 1978; October 15, 1980; and the April 1986 Chernobyl accident. The graphs (Figures 3A, 3B and 3C) show that the environmental levels of gross beta remained substantially similar at both the indicator and the control locations over an extended period of time, with both control and indicator locations showing simultaneous variations of equal magnitude. The fluctuations in gross beta activity are not attributable to SONGS and are the result of other environmental phenomena and seasonal variations.
69
C. Radioiodine SONGS Units 2/3:
Most of the preoperational and all of the 2009 operational data for I-131 level were below the detection limit.
D. Ocean Water SONGS Units 2/3:
Ocean water samples were collected on a monthly basis in the vicinity of each of the Station discharge outfalls, which served as indicator locations, and from the Newport Beach control location. The ocean water samples are analyzed for naturally-occurring and station-related gamma-emitting radionuclides. They are composited quarterly and analyzed for tritium.
During the preoperational period, naturally-occurring potassium-40 was detected in each of the samples collected from both indicator and control locations. Other gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in only one ocean water sample. In May 1980, Co-58, Co-60, Cs-l34, and Cs-137 were detected in an ocean water sample collected from the SONGS Unit l outfall. Concentrations of the radionuclides in this sample were 11, 6, 380, and 430 pCi/l, respectively. Tritium was also detected in two of the ocean water samples collected in May 1980 from the SONGS Unit 2 outfall and from the Newport Beach control location.
Tritium was detected in one indicator ocean water sample was below the a priori LLD but above the a posteriori MDC. The data for all other SONGS related radionuclides at all other ocean water locations during the 2009 operational period were below both the a priori LLD and the lower a posteriori MDC. We conclude that the operation of SONGS had a negligible impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
E. Shoreline Sediments (Sand)
SONGS Units 2/3:
Beach sand is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated at Newport Beach. The samples are analyzed for naturally-occurring and plant-related radionuclides.
To assess the impact of SONGS operations on this environmental medium, preoperational data were compared to 2009 operational data. The radionuclide detected in shoreline sediment in the preoperational time frame was Cs-137 with a range of 0.012 to 0.022 pCi/g, averaging 0.019 in 5 sediment samples. One control sample with a Cs-137 activity of 0.032 pCi/g was observed in July 1979. The presence of Cs-137 in both control and indicator locations during the preoperational period leads to the conclusion that the root cause is external to SONGS and is most likely attributable to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. No SONGS-related radionuclides were detected in shoreline sediment during the 2009 operational period. Thus the 70
impact of SONGS on the environment as measured by the sample medium is considered to be negligible.
F. Ocean Bottom Sediments SONGS Units 2/3:
During the preoperational and operational periods, representative samples of ocean bottom sediments were collected semiannually from each of the Station discharge outfalls and from a control station in Laguna Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally occurring and SONGS related radionuclides. The results of the analyses are listed in Table D-1B.
SONGS-related radionuclides were also detected in samples collected during preoperational period. Manganese-54 (Mn-54) was detected in 5 of the 28 samples. The concentrations of Mn-54 in these samples ranged from 0.015 to 0.49 pCi/g, averaging 0.13 pCi/g. Cobalt-58 (Co-58) was detected in nine samples. The concentration of Co-58 in the samples ranged from 0.013 to 1.16 pCi/g, averaging 0.20 pCi/g. Cobalt-60 (Co-60) was measured in 15 of the 28 samples. The concentration of Co-60 in the sample ranged from 0.014 to 8.l pCi/g, averaging 0.79 pCi/g. Cs-137 was also detected in 16 of the 28 samples. The concentrations of Cs-137 in the samples ranged from 0.014 to 0.090 pCi/g, averaging 0.039 pCi/g. Cerium-144 (Ce-144) was found in two samples. The concentration of Ce-144 in the samples was 0.06 and 0.26 pCi/g, respectively.
The results indicate that there has not been a build-up of radionuclides with time in ocean bottom sediments near SONGS. The results also indicate notable decrease in the concentrations of plant-related radionuclides in the ocean bottom sediment. Although Co-58, Co-60, and Cs-137 are normally associated with nuclear power operations, preoperational study reveals no accumulation trend for these radionuclides, and no increase in levels for these radionuclides was detected during the operational period.
The concentration of station-related radionuclides in all ocean bottom sediment samples analyzed in 2009 was below the a posteriori MDC. We conclude that operation of SONGS Units 2/3 has had a negligible impact upon this environmental medium.

G. Marine Species (Flesh)
SONGS Units 2/3:
Non-migratory marine species were collected semi-annually near SONGS to determine the amount of radioactivity that could be consumed by man or that was present in the food chain to man. Marine species caught by the SONGS outfalls and from Laguna Beach include two species of adult fish, crustacea and mollusks. Upon collection, the flesh portion is analyzed for gamma-emitting, radionuclides as specified in the ODCM. The results are subsequently reported as pCi/gram wet weight.
Results for several marine species for both the preoperational and 2009 operational periods for Units 2/3 are summarized in Table D-2. The marine species used for purposes of comparison include: sheephead (a fish), Blacksmith, black perch (a fish), bay mussel (a mollusk), spiny lobster (a crustacea), and keyhole limpet (a mollusk). Radionuclides analyzed but not included in Table D-2 were below the lower limits of detection for both the preoperational and operational periods.
During the 2009 operational period, no SONGS related radionuclides were detected at either the a priori LLD or the lower a posteriori MDC. The data indicate no accumulation trends. The operation of SONGS Units 2/3 in 2009 had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.

H. Local Crops SONGS Units 2/3:
In the preoperational period of January 1979 through July 1982, Sr-90 was detected in the control samples of kale, parsley, and squash. Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in cucumber, kale, and tomato samples from the indicator and control locations. Ce-144 and Zr-95 were detected in one sample of parsley at the control location at concentrations of 0.12 and 0.09 pCi/g, wet weight respectively.
In the 2009 operational period, only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in the crop samples. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
I. Soil SONGS Units 2/3:
A comparison of operational and preoperational data does not reveal any accumulation pattern of SONGS related isotopes in soil. The intermittent detection of Cs-137 in both indicator and control locations is due to residual fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing.
J. Kelp SONGS Units 2/3:
Kelp is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated in Laguna Beach. After collection, the samples are analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related radionuclides. During 2009 four additional control sample locations were analyzed.
To assess the impact of SONGS operations on kelp, preoperational data were compared to 2009 operational data in Table D-4. Radionuclides detected during the preoperational period for SONGS Units 2/3 include Mn-54, Co-60, Zr-95, I-131, and Cs-137.
During the 2009 operational period, I-131 was detected in all samples. No other station related isotopes were detected in kelp samples during the 2009 operational period. Figure 4 (I-131 in Kelp) shows a close correlation between indicator and control sample locations over an extended period of time.
Although I-131 activity has been randomly detected in kelp since 1977, there is no evidence that the concentration of I-131 or other station related radionuclides in kelp is increasing near SONGS. I-131 in kelp is due to the sewer release of medical administrations, since it has been detected consistently in control as well as indicator locations. Since 1988 the concentration of I-131, when detected, has typically been highest at the control location. These data support the conclusion that during the Units 2/3 operational period, the detection of I-131 in kelp is primarily due to factors external to SONGS.
77
K. Drinking Water No plant related radionuclides were detected during the 2009 operational period. Gross beta activity was detected during both the operational and preoperational periods at both the indicator and the control locations. No trends have been noted. There is no drinking water pathway for SONGS. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.

APPENDIX E DEVIATIONS FROM ODCM SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS IN 2009 80
DEVIATIONS FROM ODCM SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS Deviations from the ODCM sampling requirements are identified below in accordance with section 5.0 of the ODCM. The performance standard for environmental data collection of 95%
was met for all sample types. During 2009, the ODCM specified a priori LLD was achieved for most REMP samples. Deviations from the ODCM were associated with external factors not within the control of REMP personnel such as limited availability of marine samples at the locations specified in the ODCM. The 2009 ODCM deviations had no meaningful impact on the REMP database and did not compromise the validity of the reported conclusions.
PART I TERRESTRIAL SAMPLING A. WEEKLY AIR SAMPLING Downtime for each air sampler in 2009 due to weekly sample collection, annual preventive maintenance (PM), and the annual gas meter change out was approximately 46 minutes for each sampler.
Weekly Change out: Approximately 0.5 minutes x 52 = 26 minutes Annual PM: Approximately 15 minutes Annual Gas Meter change out: Approximately 5 minutes Down times in excess of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> are described below for each ODCM required air sample.
Air Sampler 1 (City of San Clemente): No deviations were observed.
Air Sampler 9 (State Beach Park): No deviations were observed Air Sampler 12 (Former SONGS Evaporation Pond): No deviations were observed Air Sampler 13 (Camp Pendleton East): This sampler had 11.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> of down time due to external power outages.
Air Sampler 15 (Oceanside Control): No deviations were observed.
Summary of Air Sampler Corrective Actions The useful life of the vacuum pump motor assemblies is estimated to be five years based on the recommendation of the manufacturer and upon experience. If the internal components (motor and control valve) are replaced the useful life may be extended. During 2009 the REMP air samplers experienced no down time attributable to motor or vacuum pump assembly failure.
Thus there were no avoidable air sampler deviations from the ODCM during 2009.
81
B. DIRECT RADIATION TLD # 34 was not on station for the first quarter 2009. The TLD canister was found broken.
C. LOCAL CROPS No deviations were observed.
D. SHORELINE SEDIMENTS No deviations were observed.
E. DRINKING WATER No deviations were observed.
F. SOIL No deviations were observed.
PART II MARINE SAMPLING A. NON-MIGRATORY MARINE ANIMALS Samples were collected from the specified ODCM sample location when samples were available at that location. When the specified sample type was not available at the ODCM listed location, alternate locations were selected based on sample availability and proximity to the specified sample location. All indicator samples were obtained within two miles of the associated outfall. In some cases the indicator species is not the same as the control species due to limited availability at the indicator location. Most non-migratory marine species samples were not available at the locations specified in the ODCM. All indicator marine animal samples were collected within 2 miles of the Units 2
& 3 discharge diffusers.
B. OCEAN WATER SAMPLING No deviations were observed.
C. OCEAN BOTTOM SEDIMENTS No deviations were observed.

APPENDIX F LAND USE CENSUS 83
INTRODUCTION Southern California Edison conducted the annual 2009 Land Use Census (LUC) in accordance with section 5.2 of the ODCM. The purpose of the LUC is to identify important radiological exposure pathways to humans. The LUC identifies the nearest residences, milk animals, meat animals, gardens of at least 500 square feet that produce fleshy or leafy vegetables, and other specified uses (campgrounds, employment, etc.) in each of the meteorological landward sectors within five miles of SONGS. Results are summarized in Table F-1 and F-2 at the end of this appendix.
THE STUDY AREA The study area includes half of the city of San Clemente (population estimated at 68,316 as of January 1, 2009), the San Clemente State Park, U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton (MCB), San Onofre State Beach and Park, the San Clemente Ranch (now known as Seaview Farm), the former U. S. Coast Guard Station at San Mateo Point, and SONGS.
METHODOLOGY A review of the 2009 LUC and documentation notebook was conducted. Verification and revision of the 2009 data was accomplished by inquiry to the cognizant agency, organization, or individual possessing direct knowledge of the item being verified.
The garden census was performed by examining aerial photographs taken. The photographic image areas which appeared to correspond to likely garden locations were converted to street addresses. The corresponding residences were observed from the nearest public road to determine if a garden was present. If the entire property was not visible from the street then a garden was assumed to be present.
The closest residence was established in each sector by correspondence with cognizant authorities (City of San Clemente Planning Department and USMC Camp Pendleton). The meat and milk animal survey was performed by contacting the natural resources office on Camp Pendleton, the Orange County Agricultural Commissioner, and the County of San Diego Department of Agriculture. Information on other uses was obtained by contacting the appropriate organizations.
DEFINITIONS Residence is defined as any structure (single-family house, apartment, mobile home, barracks or similar unit) occupied by individual(s) for three months (2,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br />) or longer per year.
Other Specified Use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population as other than their primary residence. The use is divided into two categories: employment and non-employment related.
84
Employment use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population engaged in normal work activities regardless of the length of time spent at the location, and regardless of its permanence, including concession stands, restaurants, markets and guard shacks.
Non-employment-related use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population who are not engaged in normal work activities, including campgrounds, temporary housing, time-share condominiums, motels, hotels, schools and beaches.
Milk animals include, but are not limited to cows, goats and sheep, whose milk is used in dairy products for human consumption.
Meat animals include, but are not limited to deer, other game animals, cattle, goats and sheep, whose meat is used for human consumption.
Leafy vegetables include, but are not limited to lettuce, cabbage, collard greens, Bok choi, sorrel, and spinach.
Fleshy vegetables include, but are not limited to tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower, squash, beans, zucchini, and sweet corn.
SUMMARY
OF CHANGES Summary of Changes
- 1. Unnecessary information, not specified in the procedure, has been removed from the LUC report. Non-residential uses further away than the closest residence have been deleted.
- 2. Obsolete references to the distance from the Unit1 plant vent stack have been deleted.
- 3. San Onofre III housing was completed and occupied during 2009. This is the closest permanent structure residence for all age groups in Sectors Q and R.
- 4. LUC # R-R3 - Camp Mesa Dry Camping had an estimated occupancy of 3100 hours0.0359 days <br />0.861 hours <br />0.00513 weeks <br />0.00118 months <br /> in 2009.
- 5. Age group data has been included for transient residences. Permanent residences are presumed to be occupied by all age groups. Permanent residences known to be occupied only by adults (Camp Pendleton barracks) are identified.
85
- 6. The San Onofre State Beach campground was occupied by only one surf camp in 2009. LUC
- O-2C - Surfcamp.com and O-2B YMCA surf camp did not occupy camping spaces at San Onofre during 2009.
- 7. The Camp Pendleton hunting take for the period July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 is listed in Table 2 of the 2009 LUC. Per the base wildlife biologist, the exact location of a particular kill is not known. The reported take area should be interpreted as an estimate of approximate location.
Thus a deer reported as taken in hunting area Alpha 2 may actually have been taken in an adjacent hunting area (such as Romeo 3 or Bravo 3). There are no changes to the estimated distances from SONGS to the nearest vegetation potentially consumed by deer for 2009.

Appendix J ISFSI (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation) TLD Data 102
ISFSI (Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation) TLD Data Per 10 CFR 72.126, SONGS implemented an environmental TLD program in the vicinity of the ISFSI. In the fourth quarter of 2001, 21 pre-operational TLDs were deployed in the area around the ISFSI foundation then under construction. The pre-operational TLDs data are compared to the data obtained after the commencement of used fuel storage in the ISFSI for the purposes of estimating the additional dose potentially attributable to the operation of the ISFSI.
An evaluation of the entire REMP TLD database yielded estimated background dose rate of approximately 15 mR / std quarter. However, some local variability within the CAB / EAB are to be attributable to factors external to SONGS (such as micro-geological variations). Another variable for the measured dose rate is transit dose to and from the TLD lab. The transit dose is variable and is corrected by the lab but the issue of TLD shipment packaging geometry can not be readily corrected. Therefore, a comparison of pre-operational data and operational data needs to be considered in conjunction with a comparison of ISFSI TLD data and the background dose rate estimate. Using this information, we conclude that the dose rate at the CAB (10 CFR 72 Controlled Area Boundary) is less than detectable. The dose attributable to the operation of the ISFSI as indicated by this media is not measurable beyond the immediate area of the ISFSI.
During the fourth quarter 2009 the storage of the original Steam Generators from Unit 2 near the ISFSI in the NIA (North Industrial Area) elevated the dose rate measurably in the immediate area of the ISFSI. The original steam generators did not affect the dose rate at the CAB/ EAB.
Environmental dose rates are variable. The REMP TLD data show a seasonal variability that does not appear to be related to any activities at SONGS. Data from the REMP indicator and control TLDs increase and decrease in a synchronous manner. The data support the conclusion that macro-environmental factors are the causative agents for the variations. Refer to Figure 2a and 2b. The ISFSI TLD data gathered to date appears to follow a similar seasonal variability.
Refer to Figures 6-1, 6-2, and 7a. In addition to environmental factors, some non-ISFSI work activities at Unit 1 have elevated the pre-operational measured ISFSI TLD dose. The storage and transport of radioactive materials and waste near the location of the ISFSI foundation area in 2001 and 2002 appears to have elevated the dose rates of TLDs 306 to 315. In addition, the removal of the Unit 1 reactor vessel in October 2002 caused a noticeable increase in the measured dose for TLDs 301 to 315. Refer to Tables J-1 and J-2 which list all the REMP and ISFSI TLD data within the 10 CFR 72 Controlled Area Boundary and the 10 CFR 50 EAB (Exclusion Area Boundary).
The measured dose rate for the ISFSI TLDs close to the ISFSI is consistent with the dose rate expected from known radiological work activities. The elevated dose rate from TLDs 336,337 and 338 is due to the movement and storage of used fuel at the ISFSI.
The TLDs close to the ISFSI foundation (TLDs 306 to 315) all showed a decrease in measured dose after the commencement of used fuel storage in the ISFSI. Refer to Table J-1. This decrease in measured dose may be attributable to the aforementioned seasonal variability of environmental dose rates or it may be attributable to the decrease in non-ISFSI radioactive material work activity in the Unit 1 area.
103
In the fourth quarter 2008, 5 TLDs were placed on the perimeter fence west, southwest, and southeast of the ISFSI module. These TLDs (322, 323, 324, 325, and 326) showed the highest measured dose in 2009. The closest publicly accessible location SW of the ISFSI is the San Onofre Beach access road. The TLDs located along the access road measured a dose indistinguishable from background in 2009.
Starting in the fourth quarter 2009 neutron dosimeters were placed in ISFSI TLD canisters 311, 324, 325, and 326. The neutron signal from these TLDs is consistent with the projected neutron dose rates (calculation SCE-23-0508) and is consistent with known ISFSI radiological conditions. The measured ISFSI gamma TLD dose rates were also determined to be consistent with the calculated ISFSI dose rates and known radiological conditions.
We conclude that dose attributable to the storage of used fuel in the ISFSI is not measurable beyond the immediate area of the ISFSI and is well below regulatory limits.

Local Drinking Water Well Data No drinking water pathway exists at SONGS. Refer to Figures 7-1 and 7.2 for a general indication of groundwater flow in the vicinity of SONGS.
In accordance with the GPI (Groundwater Protection Initiative) samples were collected the SONGS GPI monitoring wells (see figure 7-2). The analysis results for PA-1, PA-2, PA-3, PA-4, OCA-1, OCA-2, and OCA-3 were less than the a posteriori MDC (Minimum Detectable Concentration) and the for all plant related radionuclides during 2009.
The analysis results for wells NIA-1 and NIA-2 were all less that the a priori (LLD) for all plant related radionuclides. Tritium was detected in wells NIA-1 and NIA-2 at a level below a priori (LLD) , but above the lower, analysis specific a posteriori MDC (Minimum Detectable Concentration). We conclude that the operation of SONGS had no affect on drinking water wells in the vicinity of SONGS.
