1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiation Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, during the period January -

December, 1989.

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

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

These data are included in a reference document (Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory, 1989) available at Northern States Power Company, Nuclear Generation Department.

Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is a 545 MWe boiling water reactor located on the Mississippi River in Wright County, Minnesota, and operated by Northern States Power Company.

Initial criticality was achieved on 10 December 1970.

Full power was achieved on 5 March 1971 and commercial operation began on 30 June 1971.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)

Technical Specifications for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is described.

Results for 1989 are summarized and discussed.

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

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

3.0. RADIATION ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP) 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiation Environmental Monitoring -Program (REMP) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is to. assess the -impact of the Plant on its environment.

For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radio

-active content.

In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs).

Sources of environmental radiation include the following:

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

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

A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the Monticello Plant which is based on the indicator-control concept.

Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant,

upwind, or upstream).

A plant effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was signifi cantly larger than that at the control location.

The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources.

An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in environmental samples collected from the Plant site.

The Plant's monitoring program includes analyses for tritium and iodine-131.

Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting

"i-sotopes,-,with -results for the.-followi ng groups. quanti.f.ied.:_

zirconium-95, cesium-137, cerium-144, beryllium-7, and potassium-40.

The first three gamma-emitting' isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators 3

because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that pro duced by a nuclear detonation.

Each of the three isotopes is produced in

-'roughty..equivalent, amounts by a reactor.:

.each. cons.titutes,.about 10% of the total activity of fission products 10 days after reactor shutdown.

On the other hand, 10 days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1:0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963).

Beryllium-7 is of cosmogenic origin and potassium-40 is a naturally

-occurring isotope.

They were chosen as calibration monitors and should not be considered as radiological impact indicators.

The other group -quantified consists of niobium-95,ruthenium-103 and

-106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141.

These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing.

Nuclides of the final group, manganese-54, iron-59, cobalt-58 and -60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products.

They are typical components of nuclear power plant's effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.

Other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation can be employed in interpreting the data.

Current radiation levels can be compared with previous levels, including those measured before the plant became operational..

Results of the Plant's Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world.

Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.2 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiation Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Plant is summarized in Table 5.1 and briefly reviewed below.

Table 5.2 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.1 and specifies for each location its type (indi cator or control) and its distance, direction, and sector relative to the reactor site.

To assure that sampling is carried out in a reproducible manner, detailed sampling procedures have been prescribed (Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratotry, 1987).

To monitor the air environment, airborne particulates are collected on membrane filters by continuous pumping at five locations.

- Also, airborne iodine is collected by continuous pumping through charcoal filters at all of these locations.

Filters are changed and counted weekly.

Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-131.

Quarterly composites -of particulate filters from each location are gamma-scanned on a HP Ge or Ge(Li) detector.

One of 4

the five locations is a control (M-1),

and four are indicators (M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5).

One of the indicators is located in the geographical sector expected to be most susceptible to any atmospheric emissions from the Plant (-highest'D/Q sector).

As a "Lessons Learned" commitment, ambient gamma radiation is monitored at thirty-seven (37) locations using CaSo4:Dy dosimeter with four sensi tive areas at each location: fourteen (14) in an inner ring in the general area of the site boundary, sixteen (16) in the outer ring within 4-5 mi radius, six (6) at special interest locations. and one control location, 11.1 mi distant from the plant.

They are replaced and measured quarterly.

Also, a complete emergency set of TLDs for all locations is placed in the field -at-the same'time-as regular sets.

The emergency -set is returned to TIML quarterly for annealing and repackaging.

Milk samples are collected monthly from five farms (four indicator and one control).

The milk is collected biweekly during the growing season (June -

September).

All samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma

. emitting isotopes.

Leafy green vegetables (cabbage) are collected annually from the highest D/Q garden and a control location (M-10) and analyzed for iodine-131.

Corn and potatoes are collected annually only if the plant discharges radioactive effluent into the river.

Analysis is for gamma-emitting isotopes.

The terrestrial environment is also monitored by collection of well -water from four locations on a quarterly basis.

All samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting isotopes.

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

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

Drinking water is collected weekly from the City of Minneapolis water s'upply, which is taken from the Mississippi River downstream of the Plant.

Monthly composites are analyzed for gross beta, iodine-131, and gamma-emitting isotopes.

Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.

The aquatic environment is also monitored by semi-annual upstream and downstream collections of fish, algae or aquatic insects, and bottom sediments.

Shoreline sediment is collected semi-annually from one location. All samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

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

5

(1)

There were no milk data for Location M-24 for collection date 10-11-89 because milk was not available, farm went out of business.

(2) There were no milk data for Location M-24 for collection dates 11-08-89 and 12-07-89 because

,Holthaus Dairy went out of business.

-Deviations from the -program are summarized in Table 5.3.

The responsibi lities of collecting and shipping samples were transferred to Nuclear Radiological Services (NRS) effective January 1.,

1990.

An additional person has been added to NRS since March 1, 1990.

Additional effort will be made to collect any missed milk sample if milk will become available shortly; damaged or missed TLO holders will be investigated, replaced, or relocated which are similar to the actions that have been taken in the past.

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

All gamma-spectroscopic analyses were performed with an HP Ge or Ge(Li) detector.

Levels of iodine-131 in cabbage and natural vegetati'on were determined by HP Ge or Ge(Li) spectrometry. - The concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were.measured by HP Ge or Ge(Li) spectrometry.

Tritium was determined by a liquid scintillation technique.

Analytical procedures used by the Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory are specified in detail elsewhere (Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory, 1985).

Procedures are based on those prescribed by the National Center for Radiological Health of the U.S.

Public Health Service (U.S.

Public Health Service, 1967) and by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S.

Atomic Energy Commission (U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, 1972).

Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/

quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained. Details of TIML's QA Program are presented elsewhere (Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory, 1990).

The TIML QA Program includes parti cipation in Interlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs.

Results obtained in crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A.

3.5 Program Modifications During the growing season, milk producers were monitored to determine when the dai'ry 'animals were on.pasture.or fresh, cut.- feed.

The frequency of milk samples was increased to semimonthly at four indicator locations (Peterson,

Hoglund, Witschen, and Holthaus),

plus the control location (Kirchenbauer), at various times during the period because animals were on pasture or fresh cut feed.

3.6 Land Use Census In accordance with the Technical Specifications 4.16 Paragraph B1 a land

-- use-censusshall be conducted and ashall Jidentify-the..ocation.of the near est milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 ft 2 producing fresh leafy vegetables, in each of the 16 meteor ological sectors within a distance of 5 miles.

The censu shall also identify the locations of all milk animals and all 500 ft or greater gardens *producing broad leaf vegetation in each of the meteorological sectors within a distance of three miles.

This census shall be conducted at least once per year between the dates of May 1 and October 31.

New locations shall be added to the radiation environmental monitoring program within 30 days and sampling locations having lower calculated doses or a lower dose commitment may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which the land use census was conducted.

The 1989 land use census was completed on July 29, 1989.

This census did not identify any locations of exposure pathways different from those

-used in the program during the first six months of the year.

Milk and garden sample locations did not change due to the requirements of the land use census.

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

All results are summarized in Table 5.4 in a format recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Regulatory Guide 4.8.

For each type of analysis of each sampled medium, this table lists the mean and range for all indicator locations and for all control locations.

The locations with the highest mean and range are also shown.

4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 1989.

The last reported test was conducted by the People's Republic of China on October 16, 1980.

The reported yield was in the 200 kiloton to 1 megaton range.

There were no reported accidents at nuclear reactor facilities in 1989.

4.2 Program Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in the environ mental samples collected in the -vicinity of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in 1989.

Ambient Radiation (TLDs)

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

5 mi distant from the Plant, at special interest areas, and at one control location.

The means were nearly identical at both inner and outer rings (15.0 and 15.4 mR/91 days, respectively).

The mean at special locations was 15.0 mR/91 days.

The mean at the control location was 14.1 mR/91 days.

The differences are not statistically significant.

The dose rates measured were similar to those observed in 1978, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988 (12.3, 12.5, 13.6, 14.2, 15.3, 15.4 and 15.2 mR/91 days, respectively).

No Plant effect on ambient gamma radiation was indicated.

8

Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta concentration in airborne particulates was nearly identical at indicator and control locations (0.027 and 0.026 pCi/

dm3,.ervespectively) and was -nearly, identical,.orn.simila r.to the levels observed in 1982 (0.026 pCi/m 3), 1983 (0.023 pCi/m 3 ),

1984 (0.024 pCi/

m3 ), 1985 (0.025 pCi/m 3), and 1986 (0.026 pCi/m 3 ), 1987 (0.026 pCi/

m3 ) and 1988 (0.030 pCi/m 3 ).

The average of 0.026 pCi/m 3 for 1986 does not include the results from May 19 to June 9, 1986, which were influ enced by the accident at Chernobyl.

A-spring peak in beta activity had been observed almost annually for many years (Wilson et al.,,1969).

It had been attributed to fallout of nuclides from the stratosphere (Gold et al., 1964).

It was-pronounced in 1981, occurred to a lesser degree in 1982, and did not occur in 1983,

1984, 1985, or 1987.

In 1986, the spring peak could not be identified because it was overshadowed by the releases of radioactivity from Chernobyl.

The highest averages for gross beta were for the months of

January, February and December and the first and fourth quarter, as in
1983, 1984,
1985, 1986 (exclusive of the period between May 19, 1986 and June 9, 1986), 1987 and 1988.

Two pieces of evidence indicate conclusively that the elevated activity observed during the fourth quarter was not attributable to the Plant op eration.

In the first place, elevated activity of similar size occurred simultaneously at both indicator and control locations.

Secondly, an identical pattern was observed at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating
Plant, about 100 miles distant from the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (Northern States Power Company, 1990).

Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations.

Beryllium-7, which is produced continously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955),

was detected in all samples.

All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD limits.

Airborne Iodine Weekly levels of airborne iodine-131 were below the lower limit of de tection (LLD) of 0.07 pCi/m 3 in all samples.

Milk Iodine-131 results were below the detection limit of 1.0 pCi/l in all samples.

Cesium-137 results were below the LLD level of 15 pCi/l in all samples.

No other gamma-emitting isotopes except naturally-occurring potassium-40 were detected in any of the milk samples.

This is consistent with the finding of the National Center for Radiological Health that most radio-9

contaminants in feed do not find their way into milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow.

The common exceptions are radioisotopes of potassium,

cesium, strontium,
barium, and iodine (National Center for
  • Radiological Health,,.1968.

In summary, the milk data for 1989 show no radiological effects of the plant operation.

River Water and Drinking Water Tritium was below the LLD of 330 pCi/1 in all samples.

Gross beta in Minneapolis drinking water averaged 2.6 pCi/1. and was-identical or similar to the average level observed in 1977 (3.4 pCi/1),

in 1978 (3.8 pCi/1),

in 1979 (3.4 pCi/1),

in 1980 (3.2 pCi/1),

in 1981 (3.5 pCi/1),

and in 1982 (2.9 pCi/1),

in 1983 (3.3 pCi/1),

in 1984 (2.8 pCi/1),

in

-1985 (2.8 pCi/1),

in 1986 (2.5 pCi/1),

in 1987 (2.4 pCi/1) and in 1988 (2.7 pCi/1).

Comparisons with gross beta data reported by EPA for Minnea polis drinkingwater sample collected in 1975,

1976, 1977, and 1978 indic ates that concentrations of these nuclides are remaining fairly constant and are in the range of drinking water levels in other parts of the country (U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

1975, 1976,
1977, 1978).

Gamma emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all surface water samples.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

Well Water The tritium level was below the LLD level of 330 pCi/1 in all samples.

All of the gamma scan results were below detection limits.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

Crops Two (2) samples of cabbage were collected in September and analyzed for iodine-131.

The 1-131 level was below 0.023 pCi/g wet weight in both samples.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

The field sampling personnel conducted a survey at Monticello Plant and found that there were no radioactive liquid effluents released into Mississippi River.

There fore, it was not necessary to collect and analyze corn or potatoe samples.

Fish Fish samples were collected in May and October.

Flesh.was separated.from the bones and gamma scanned. Potassium-40, the naturally-occuring isotope, was found to be similar in upstream and downstream samples (3.16 and 2.48 pCi/g wet weight, respectively).

All gamma-emitting isotopes were below

-their-respective LLD levels.

There' was no-indication of a. plant effect.

10

Invertebrates Two samples were collected in May and two in September.

The samples were analayzed for.gamma-,emitting isotopes.

All..of the isotopes, except naturally-occurring K-40, were below detection limits.

Potassium-40 measured 4.60 pCi/g wet weight at the control location and was below the level of detection at the control location.

There was no indication of a plant effect.

Bottom and Shoreline Sediments Bottom and shoreline sediment collections were made in May and September and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

Cesium-137 was detected in two upstream and one downstream bottom sediment samples, averaging 0.12 pCi/g dry weight, and in two shoreline sediment samples, averaging 0.16 pCi/g dry weight, indicating the influence of fallout deposition. Similar levels of -activities and distribution were observed in 1978-1988.

The only other gamma-emitting isotope detected was naturally-occurring potassium-40. There was no indication of a plant effect.

TIML participates in intercomparison studies administered by U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring.Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada. The results are reported in Appendix A. Also reported-are results of in house spikes and blanks. Appendix A is updated twice a year and the complete Appendix is included in January and July monthly reports only.

Please refer to January and July Reports for information.

January 1990.

Appendix A Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory (formerly Hazleton Environmental Sciences) has participated in interlaboratory -comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of its quality control program in December 1971.

These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental-type samples (e.g., milk or water) containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories.

The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on the laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it to any possible.problems.

Participant laboratories measure the concentrations of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency.

Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits.

Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used.

The results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program for milk, water, air filters, and food samples during

-the-period:January ^1986" through November, 1989.

This program has been conducted by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency Intercomparison and Calibration

Section, Quality Assurance Branch, Environmental Monitoring and Support Labora tory, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The results in Table A-2 were obtained for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) during the period.1976,

1977, 1979,
1980, 1984, and 1985-1986 through partici pation in the Second,
Third, Fourth,
Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth International Intercomparison of Environmental Dosimeters under the sponsorships listed in Table A-2. Also Teledyne testing results are listed.

Table A-3 lists results of the analyses on in-house spiked samples.

Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house "blank" samples. lists acceptance criteria for "spiked" samples.

Addendum to Appendix A provides explanation for out of limit results.

Ad dition of errors to TIML result would put values within EPA control limits.

EPA also had the same problem in analyzing its own sample.

TIML results are usually within EPA control limits.

Analysis of the next sample was within EPA control limits.

No further action is planned.

Results in the past have been within EPA control limits and TIML will monitor the situation in the future.

Error in transferrance of data.

Correct data was 1105+/-33.

Results in the past have been within.the limits and TIML will monitor the situation in the future.

Sample recounted after 12 days.

The average result was 8.8+/-1.7 (within EPA control limits).

The sample was recounted in order to check the decay.

Results in the past have been within the limits and TIML will continue to monitor the situ ation in the future.

High level of Co-60 was due to contamination of beaker.

Beaker was discarded upon dis covery of contamination and sample was recounted.

Recount results were 53.2+/-3.6 and 50.9+/-2.4.

ADDENDUM TO APPENDIX A (continued)

EPA Lab Code Analysis TIML Result Control Limit Explanation STM-554 Sr-90 51.0+/-2.0 54.8-65.2 The cause of low result was due to very high fat content in the milk.

It should be noted that 63% of all participants failed this test.

Also, the average for all participants was 54.0 pCi/l before the Grubb and 55.8 pCi/l after the Grubb.

STW-560 Pu-239 5.8+/-1.1 3.5-4.9 The cause of high results is not known.

It is suspected that the standard was not properly calibrated by supplier and is under investigation.

New Pu-236 standard was obtained and will be used for the next test.

STW-568 Ra-228 2.6+/-1.0 2.7-4.5 The cause of low results is not known.

Next EPA crosscheck re sults were within the control limits.

No further action is planned.

STM-570 Sr-89 26.0+/-10.0 30.3-47.7 The cause of low results was Sr-90 45.7+/-4.2 49.8-60.2 falsely high recovery. due to suspected incomplete calcium removal.

Since EPA sample was used up, internal spike was pre pared and analyzed.

The results were within control limits (See table A-3, sample QC-MI-24).

No further action is planned.

Appendix B Data Reporting Conventions B-1

4 Data Reporting Conventions 1.0.

Al.1;activities. except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period.

2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows:

x+/- 5 where x = value of the measurement; s = 2a counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).

In cases where the activity is found to be below the lower limit of detection L it J.s.;eported as

<L where L = is the lower limit of detection based on 4.660 uncertainty for a background sample.

3.0. Duplicate Analyses 3.1.

Individual results: x1 +/-s x2 s2 Reported result:

x s where x = (1/2) (xl + x2)

's = (1/2) Fs2 + sF 1

2 3.2.

Individual results: <L1

<L2 Reported result:

<L where L = lower of L1 and L2 3.3.

Individual results:

x+/- s Reported result:

x +/- s if x > L;

<L otherwise B-2

4.0.

"'Computation of

-Averages--and

'Standard Deviations 4.1 Averages and-standard deviations listed in 'the tables are computed from all of the individual measurements over the period averaged; for example, an annual standard deviation would not be the average of.quarterly standard deviations. The average i and standard deviation(s) of a set of n numbers x1, x2,.

xn are defined as follows:

-- 1 n

s

( x - _ 2 n-1 4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.

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

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

4.5. In rounding off, the following rules are followed:

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

4.5.2 If the figure following those to be retained is greater than 5, the figure is dropped, and the last retained figure is raised by 1. As an example, 11.446 is rounded off to 11.45.

4.5.3. If the figure following those to be retained is 5, and if there are no figures other than zeros beyond-*the five, the figure 5 is dropped, and the last-place figure retained is increased by one if it is an odd number or it is kept unchanged if an even number. As an example, 11.435 is rounded off to 11.44, while 11.425 is rounded off to 11.42.
