SUMMARY
During the period January 1 to December 31, 1981, Radiation Management Corporation (RMC) participated in the Operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted by Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) at Artificial Island, New Jersey. Salem Nuclear Generating Station (SNGS) Unit #1 becarre critical on December 11, 1976, thereby initiating the operational phase of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). This program was designed to identify and quantify concentrations of radioactivity in various environrrental rredia and to quan-tify ambient radiation levels in the environs of Artificial Island. Unit #2 achieved initial criticality on August 2, 1980. During the operational phase, the program will JTX)nitor the operations of SNGS Units #1 and #2 and will fulfill the requirements of the SNGS Environrrental Technical Specifications. This report presents the results of therJTX)l uminescent dosirretry and radiochemical analyses of en vi ronrrental samples collected during:1981. ~
- A totai of 2523 analyses were performed on 1534 environmental samples during the period covered by this report.
Samples of air particulates, air iodine, surface, ground ahd drinking water, benthos, sediment, milk, fish, crabs, vegetables, garre, fodder crops, and precipitation were collected. TherJTX)luminescent dosimeters were used to measure ambient radiation levels. A variety of. radionuclides, both naturally occurring and man-made, were found in the above samples. These nuclides were detected at levels simila-r to those found during the preoperational phase of this program. In general, results at indicator stations compared favorably to control stations. It is concluded that the radiological charac-teristics of the environment around Artificial Island during 1981 were not affected by the operation of SNGS Units #1 and #2. 1
// INTRODUCTION Radiation Management Corporation has participated in the Artificial Island Radio-logi ca 1 Envi ronmenta 1 Monitoring Program since January 1973. RMC has previously reported results from the preoperational phase of the REMP for 1973(1), 1974(2), 1975(3) and 1976(4). On December 11, 1976, SNGS Unit #1 first achieved criticality thereby initiating the operational phase of the REMP. RMC has also reported re-sults from the initial operating period between December 11 and December 31, 1976(5), January 1 and December 31, 1977(6), January 1 and December 31, 1978(7), January 1 and December 31, 1979(8) and January 1 and December 31, 1980(9). This report sum-marizes the operational period between January 1 and December 31, 1981. Artificial Island is the site of two nuclear power' reactors which are part of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. Units #1 and #2 are pressurized water reactors (PWR), 1090 MWe and 1115 MWe respectively. Both are presently operational. Artificial. l.sland is actually a man;..m.ade penins~1a in the De'laware River, created by.the deposition of dredging spoils. It is located in Lower Alloways Township,' Salem County, New Jersey. The environment around Artificial Island is character-ized mainly by the Delaware River and Bay, extensive tidal marshes, and grass lands. These 1 and types make up approximately 85% of the 1 and area within five mi* l es of the site. Most of the remaining land is used for agricultural production (10). More specific information on the demography, hydrology, meteorology, and land use characteristics of the local area may be found in the Environmental Report (10), Environmental Statement (11), and the Final Safety Analyses Report (Units 1 and 2 for SHGS (12). 2

THE PROGRAM In the operational phase of the REMP, the program was conducted in accordance with Section 3.2 of the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications (ETS). Radioanalytical data were collected and compared with results from the preoperational phase. Differences between these periods were examined statistically, where applicable, to determine whether any station operational effects existed. Objectives The objectives of the* operational radiological environmental _program are: l.* To fulfill the obligations of the Radiological Surveillance-Environmental sections of the Environmental Technical Specifications for SNGS.
- 2.
To determine.whether.any si"gnificant increase occu*rs in.the concentratio.n .of radionu~lide.s in critical pathways.
- 3.
To determine if SNGS has caused an increase in the radioactive inventory of long lived radionucl ides.
- 4.
To detect any change in a'mbient gamma radiation levels.
- 5.
To verify that SNGS operations have no detrimental effects on the health and safety of the public or on the environment. \\ This report as required by Section 5.6 of the Salem ETS (13) summarizes the findings of the 1981 REMP. Results of the four year preoperational program have been summarized for purposes of comparison with subsequent operational reports. (4) Sample Collection In order to meet the stated objectives, an appropriate operational REMP was developed by RMC in cooperation.with Public Service Electric and Gas Company. Samples of various media were selected to obtain data for the evaluation of the radiation dose*to man and other organisms. The selection of sample types was based on: (1) established critical pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to man, and (2) experience gained during the preoperational phase. Sampling locations were determined from site meteorology, Delaware estuarine hydrology, local demography, and land uses. Sampling locations were divided into two classes--indicator and control. Indicator stations ate those which*are expected to manifest station effects, if any exist; con- . trol samples are.collected at locations which are believed* to be unaffected by station operations. Fluctuations in the levels of radionuclides and direct radiation at indi-ca~or stations are evaluated with respect to analogous fluctuations at control stations, which are unaffected by station operation. Indicator and control station data are also evaluated relative to preoperational data. The REMP.. for the Artificial Island Site in-cludes additional samples and analyses not specifically required by the Salem ETS. The summary tables in this report include these addition al samples and analyses. 3

' '.. - *-*... :. ~....,:. - -........... ' - -~~ ' -,..*. .-...,.:,~*** -*-***~-:..,_:. Air particulates were collected on Schleicher-Schuell No. 25 glass fiber filters with low-volume air samplers. Iodine was collected from air by adsorption on TEDA charcoal cartridges connected in series ~ehind the air particulate filters. Air sample volumes were measured with calibrated dry-gas meters corrected to standard temperature and pressure. Precipitation was collected on a 95-square-inch rain gauge. Samples were collected monthly and transferred to new polyethylene bottles. The rain gauge was rinsed at collection with distilled water to include residual particulates in the precipita-tion samples. Tritium results were corrected for the tritium content of the dis-tilled water. Ambient radiation levels in the environs were measured with energy-compensated Caso4 (Tm) thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). Packets containing four TLDs each were placed on and around the Artificial Island Site at.various distances and were exposed on a monthly, quarterly and semi-annual basis. Mo~thly.well.and pot~bl~ water* samples were taken in new**two-gallon polyethyiene bottles. Separate raw and treated potable water samples were composited daily by personnel of the Salem Water Company. Surface water samples were collected by Icthyological Associates and shipped to ~~C for analysis in new polyethylene bottles. Sample containers were rinsed twice with the sample medium pri.or to collection. Edible fish and crabs were taken by net, sealed in a bag or jar and shipped frozen. Benthos and sediment were taken with a bottom grab sampler. Milk samples were taken in new polyethylene bottles and shipped fresh. Food products, fodder crops, game and bovine thyroid samples were taken and sealed in plastic bags or jars. Perishable samples were frozen at the time of sampling without any preservatives. Appendix A describes and summarizes, in the format of Table 5.6-1 of the Salem ETS, the entire operational program as performed in 1981. Appendix B describes the RMC coding system, which specifies sample type and relative locations at a glance. Also in Appendix B,. Table B-1 gives the pertinent information on indivi-dual sampling locations, while maps B-1 and B-2 show the sampling locations. 4

- Data Interpretation Radiation Management Corporation has an extensive quality assurance program designed to maximize confidence in the analytical procedures used.
Approximately 20% of the total analytical effort is spent on quality control, including process quality con-trol, instrument quality control, inter-laboratory cross-check analyses, and compre-hensive data review. The analytical methods utilized in this program are summarized in Appendix D-1. The methods utilized by the PSE&G Research and Testing Lab are summarized in Appendix D-2. Results of the EPA inter-laboratory comparison program .appear in Appendix E. A full discussion of these re*sul ts can be found in the 11Qual-ity Control Data 1981 - Annual Report 11 ( 14). Several factors are important in the interpretation of the data. These factors are discussed here to avoid repetition . in sections th~t follow.
- Grab ~ampring is* a* useful and acc~ptable_* p)'.'ocedure *for* taking environmental samples
.of a medium in.whkh the concentration* of radionucl i-des is expected to" vary slowly* with time or where intermittent sampling is deemed sufficient to establish the radiological chara_cteristics of the medium. This method, however, is only repre-sentative of the sampled medium-for that specific location and instant of time. As a result, variation in the radionuclide concentrations of the samples will
- normally occur. *Since these variations will tend to counterbalance one another, the extraction of averages based upon repetitive grab samples is valid.
Within the data tables (Appendix C) an approximate 95% (+/-2 sigma) confidence inter-val is supplied for those data points.above the lower limit of detection (LLD). An exception to this is Sr-89 and -90 detection capabilities which are based on the minimum detectable limit (MDL). These intervals represent the range of values into which 95% of repeated analyses of the same sample should fall. Results for each type of sample were grouped according to the analysis performed. t~ans and standard deviations of these results were calculated when applicable. The calculated* standard de vi at ions of grouped data found in Appendix C represent sarrqJle and not analytical variability. When a group of data was composed of mainly (>50%) LLD values, averages were not calculated. It is characteristic of environmental monitoring data that many results occur at or below the lower limit of detection. For reporting and calculation of averages, any result occurring at or below the lower limit of detection is considered to be at that limit. As a result, averages obtained using this method are biased hign. 5 0\\**~.-;*:* 4"**- ~.**.**

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The analytical results of the 1981 REMP samples are divided into categories based on exposure pathways: airborne, direct, water, aquatic and ingestion. The anal-ytical results for the 1981 REMP samples are surrrnarized ir1 Appendix A. The data for individual samples are presented in Appendix C. Airborne Air Particulates (Tables C-1, C-2, C-3, *c-4) Air particulate samples were analyzed for alpha, beta, gamma emitters, and Sr-89 and -90. The weekly air particulate samples were analyzed for gross beta activity at eight s~ations and for gross alpha.activity at two stations. Quarterly composites were prepared using the weekly samples from each station and analyzed for Sr-89,.
- sr..;90 *and* specific gamma. emi.tters.
Weekly gross beta analyses showed concentrations ranging from 0.01~ to 0.471 pCi/m3 with the average for the eight sampling stations being 0.112 pCi/m. Figure 1 shows the relation between gross beta activity in air and precipitation for the preopera-tional and the oper~tional periods, showing both seasonal and weapons-testing fluc-tuations. l~;:( Of the 104 weekly air particulate samples (two stations) analyzed for gross: alpha
- ,~~ll ef!1itters, 91 were above detectabl: c9ncentrations.
The rang7 o~ gross alpha acti-
- /~t,;
v1ty was from 0.0006 to 0.0027 pC1/m and averaged 0.0014 pC1/m. {f. Results of gamma spec~rometry showed detectable levels of.several radionucl ides, both naturally occurring and man-made (Be-7, K-40, Mn-54, Nb-95, Zr-95, Ru-103,
- '.~:~
Ru-106, Sb-125, Cs-137, Ce-141 and Ce-144). The level of man-made nuclides de- 0~ tected during the first and second quarters can be attributed primarily to fallout ~:j from the October 16, 1980 atmospheric nuclear weapons test. Concentrations of ?;~1 these nuclides decreased significantly during the third and fourth quarters. The ~;;i; presence of Be-7 throughout the year can be attributed to cosmic ray activity. The highest activity detected.was 0.12 pCi/m3 of Nb-95 in the second quarter composite for station APT-501. The Sr-89 analyses performed on the quarterly composites showed 23 qut 3f 32 samples with detectable activity. 3These ranged between 0.0007 and 0.0093 pCi/m with the average being 0.0054 pCi/m
- The positiv~ Sr-89 results can also be attributed to the fallout from the atmospheri3 nuclear weapons test.
Sr-90 concen3rations ranged between 0.0003 and 0.0022 pCi/m with the average being 0.0009 pCi/m
- Air Iodine (Table C-5)
Iodine cartridges were connected in series behind each of the air particulate filters for adsorption of air iodine. The adsorption media used in these cartridges was 11TEDA 11 impregnated cha3coal. All results for I-131 were below the LLD and ranged from <0.0054 to <0.026 pCi/m

- :*:. c Precipitation (Tables C-7, C-8)
Although not specifically required by the Salem ETS, precipitation was sampled con-tinuously and collected rrnnthly at the Salem substation sampling location. The precipitation was analyzed for tritium, gross alpha and gross beta emitters on a rrnnthly basis. Tritium activity was detected in four samples and ranged from 86 to 140 pCi/l. The LLDs ranged from <87 to <130 pCi/l. Of the twelve monthly rain water samples analyzed for gross alpha emitters, three showed detectable concentra-tions. The range of gross alpha activity was from 1.2 to 2.3 pCi/l with the average being 1.6 pCi/l. The LLDs ranged from _<0.6 to <1.2 pCi/l. Gross beta emitter con-centrations were detected in all samples and ranged from 4. 7 to 70 pCi /1 with an average of 30 pCi/l. Quarterly composites of preci pita ti on were analyzed* fo.r radi ostronti um and gamma emitters.* Sr-89 analyses showed positive results for the first three quart~rs of 1981. The concentrations ranged from 0.6 to 7.5 pCi /1, and averaged 3.8 pCi/l ** Sr-90 concentrations ranged between 0.8 and 1.4 pCi/l wi~h th~ average being 1.1 pCi/l. Results of gamma spectrometry showed detectable levels of several radio-nucl ides. All of the detected nucl ides are man-made and can be attributed to fallout from the October 16, 1980 atmospheric nuclear weapons test. By the fourth* quarter, activities had returned to LLD levels. Direct (Tables C-9, C-10, C-11) Direct radiation measurements w~re made at 41 different locations, 24 monthly and quarterly locations and 17 semi-annual locations using CaSOll. (Tm) thermal uminescent dosimeters. During 1981, 288 monthly, 96 quarterly and 34 semi-annual TLD packets were collected. Each packet included four dosimeters for a total of 1672 analyses. These analyses resulted in an average dose rate of 5.47 mrads/standard month for monthly TLDs, 5.37 mrads/standard month for quarterly TLDs and 5.54 mrads/standard month for semi-annual TLDs. A 11 TLD results presented in this report have been normalized to a standard roonth (30.4 days) to eliminate the apparent differences. caused by variations in exposure periods. \\~hen the monthly data is plotted as in Figure 2, a slight peak is observed after June 1979. This peak is attributed to the elevated readings from two on-site TLD stations. Since the two stations, lOSl and llSl, are on-site they do not represent any environmental dose to the public. A comparison of the direct radiation data for 1981 shows a similarity between the average monthly dose for both indicator stations (5.40 mrads/std. month) and con-trol stations (5.84 mrads/std. month). 10 ~;':..
- In *order to better evaluate the variation between TLD_results, a statistical model which is capable of separating a contribution by srrns from the background component has been developed.
The statistical rrethod utilized is a linear regression analysis which involves determining the functions which best describe the background component by the least squares rrethod. Six models *were originally tested and are described in a separate publication (14). The equation which describes the model selected is: where: y.. = Jml

im COT. 1 = average of the control stations.for rronth m a'nd year i' = avera~e of the control station for year i (a 11 p 11 in place of 11 i 1 represents the preoperational period) A computer program was developed for multiple regression analysis. The least squares fit (LSF) line based on all 1981 data was determined along with the statistics for this line. The data for 1981 was tes:ted against predicted values and prediction limits determined from the rrodel period line. Differences between predicted and observed values are terrred residuals. Residuals outsi.de the pre-diction limits of the predicted value are identified as outliers. For 198L 22 outliers were predicted from a possible 288. Four outliers at station lOSl and sixteen outliers at station 11Sl can be attri-, buted to the refueling of Unit #1. These stations are located in the vicinity of the Refueling Water Storage Tank. Since these locations are on-site they do not represent a dose to the public. No TLDs located beyond the plant boundary indicated any additional dose from SNGS operation. The remaining two outliers at stations 7Sl and 1401 can be attributed to statis-tical fluctuations. Water Surface Water (Tables C~12, C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16) Monthly surface water samples were taken at five locations in the Delaware estuary. One is downstream from the outfall area, one is in the outfall area, and another is directly west of the outfall area at the mouth of the Appoqui ni*mi nk River. Two* other stations are located upstream--one station is in the river and the other is in the Chesapeake and Del aware Canal. The station located at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River serves as the operational control. Surface water samples were analyzed for tritium, gross alpha emitters, gross beta emitters, strontium-89 and -90, and gamma emitters. 11

Analysis of surface water. for tritium yielded an average concentration of 163 pCi/l and* ranged from 58 to 412 pCi/1. These levels are similar to those measured in the preoperational program as shown in Figure 3. A gradual decrease in tritium activity. from 1973 to 1981 can be attributed to general reduction in the world-wide tritium inventory with the cessation of. routine atmospheric weapons testing. Gross alpha concentrations were generally below LLD, which ranged from <0.2 to <1.3 pCi/l. Eleven of the 55 samples analyzed showed detectable gross alpha activity. The average (0.3 pCi/l) was within the same range as the LLDs for the year. Gross alpha activity may be expected in suspended solids from naturally occurring radio-nuclides especially during periods of high surface runoff. Gross beta concentrations ranged from 10 to 129 pCi /1 and averaged 51 pCi /1. Nearly all of the beta activity was contributed by K-40, a natural component of salt and brackish waters, as illustrated in Figure 4, which compares gross beta and K-40 conc;:entrations in the Delaware River. Due to the flow rate vari-ations and the tidal natl.ire of the.estuarine environ*ment,. large varjations in the gross be:ta*
- concehtrations were ob~ierved* throughout the year.
Much of this variation* can be attributed to the tidal stage at the time of sampling. Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (<0.6 to <2.3 pCi/1) *in thirteen of seventeen sam-ples. Concentrations of detected Sr-89 ranged from 0.5 to 1.5 pCi/l, and averaged 0.8 pCi/l. Levels of detectable Sr-90 ranged* from 0.4 to 1.3 pCi/l in four of the seventeen samples. The MDL values for the remaining samples ranged from <0.3 to <0.9 pCi/l. The maximum level of Sr-90 detected in the preoperational program was
- 1. 6 pCi /1 ( 4.)
- Gamma spectrometric analysis of surface water samples showed detectable concentra-tions of K-40 in 53 of 55 samples.
The average K-40 concentration was 57 pCi /1 and ranged from 20 to 120 pCi/l. K~4o is a naturally occurring radionuclide which is expected to be fo.und in salt and brackish waters. Well Water (Tables C-27, C-18) Monthly well water samples were taken from two indicator wells and one control well. All well water samples were analyzed for tritium, gross alpha and gross beta acti-vity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption). Quarterly composites were analyzed for gamma emitters, and Sr-89 and Sr-90. Detectable concentrations of tritium were observed in two of the twenty-seven samples with levels of 106 and 268 pCi/l. The LLDs rangeq from <88 pCi/l to <174 pCi/l. Gross alpha concentrations were generally below LLD which ranged from <0.8 to <3.6 pCi/1 *. Two of the 36 samples analyzed showed detectable gross alpha activity (1.7 and 2.2 pCi /l). The concentrations of gross beta emitters averaged 11 pCi /l and ranged from 2.6 to 16 pCi/l. The potassium-40 activity as determined by atomic absorption averaged 8.5 pCi/l. This indicates that the gross beta activity observed in these samples is primarily the result of naturally occurring K-40, a beta emitter. 14
. ~-..:.' ~... :. *: ~. The only nuclide detected by garmia spectrometry was K-40 (19 to 22 pCi/T) ih three of twelve samples. All results for Sr-89 were below the MDL with a range of <0.6 to <2.2 pCi/l. Sr-90 was found in one sample with a concentra-tion of 0.4 pCi/l. The range of MDLs for Sr-90 was <0.4 to <1.1 pCi/l. Potable Water (Tables C-19, C-20) Both raw and treated water samples were taken at the Salem Water Company, the only drinking water processing plant in the vicinity of Artificial Island. The raw water source for this plant is Laurel Lake (a tributary of the Delaware River) and several adjacent wells. Potable water samples were analyzed monthly for tritium, grass alpha and gross ~eta activity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption); Sr-89 and -90, and garmia emitters.were analyzed on a quarterly basis. The concentration of tritium averaged 120 pCi/l for all analyses, with no signi-ficant differences betwe*en the raw and treated.samples. Detectable gross alpha activity was observed in 15 of 24 samples* ranging between 0.5 pCi/1-and 1.8 pCi/l
- with an average. of 1.0 pCi /1. : Gross betp. and K-40 *con~eot rati ohs were 1 ower thari in the* saline surface water, as expected for fresh water, with K-40 generally contributing less than 50% of the beta activity.
The average gross beta concen-trations were 3.9 pCi/l (raw) and 2. 7 pCi/l (treated). The average K-40 results were 1.4 pCi/l (raw) and 1.5 pCi/l (treated). Quarterly composites of raw and treated samples were analyzed for gamma emitters and Sr-89 and -90. No nucl ides were detected by garTBTia spectrometry in any of the samples. Of the seven samples analyzed for Sr-89, two showed detectable concen-trations (0.5 and 0.7 pCi/l). The MDL range for Sr-89 was <0.7 to <1.2 pCi/l. Sr-90 was observed in four of the seven samples with concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 1.1 pCi/l, and the average being 0.7 pCi/l. Aquatic Benthos (Table C-21) .'*'.r..~* Benthic organisms were collected at four locations and analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (<0.2 to <169 pCi/g-dry) for all eight analyses. The wide fluctuations in MDL values were due to inconsistencies in sample size (0.01 to 9 grams dry). Three of eight samples showed detectable Sr-90 concentration averaging 1.2 pCi/g-dry. The detectable activity of these samples is within the MDL range ( <0.8 to <83 pCi/g-dry) of the other analyses. The MDL for radiostron-ti um as required by the Environmental Technical Specifications for benthic organisms was not met in all of the samples due to the iflllracticality of obtaining a sufficient-ly large sample size of benthic organisms. Sediment (Table C-22) Sediment was collected semiannually at four locations and analyzed for Sr-90 and gamma emitters. Levels of Sr-90 were below MDL (<0.04 to <0.1 pCi/g-dry) in seven of the eight sam-ples analyzed. The single concentration (0.04 pCi/g-dry) was within the MDL range. 15

Various fa1lout nu-clides were observed intermittently in the sediment samples. Ingestion Milk (Tables C-23, C-24) Milk samples were taken twice a month from six local farms during 1981 and analyzed for I-131; gamma emitters, Sr-89 and Sr-90 were analyzed monthly. I-131 was not observed in any milk samples during 1931. Figure 5 shows the average -I-131 concen-trations in milk samples resulting from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests by the Peoples Republic of China (June 1974, March 1978, and October 1980) and the Three* Mile Island incident in 1979.
- GC111ma-spectrometry showed detectab*le c::oncentrations of K-40 in all samples and.Cs-137.
in 36 *of the 72. s*amples analyzed. The annual ave.rage concentrations *were 1500 pCi/l. for K-40 and 2.9 pCi/l for -Cs-137. These levels *were not si§nificantly different between control and indicator stations. Strontium-89 was:detected in twelve of the seventy-eight sar.iples analyzed with re-sults ranging between 1.8 pCi/l and 8.5 pCi/l. The range of r.mL values for Sr-89 . was <1.7 pCi/l to <37 pCi/l. The wide range of values for.the MDL was due to low chemical yields and long decay periods in some of the analyses. All of the posi-tive results detected were within the MDL range. The concentration of Sr-90 was positive in 71 of the 78 samples analyzed and averaged 3.4 pCi/l. The MDL range was <0.7 pCi/l to <8.9 pCi/l.. Sr-90 concentrations were similar at indicator* and control stations, indicating no contribution from SNGS. D~e to the 28 year half-life and biological assimilation, Sr-90 can be expected to remain long after routine atmospheric testing has ceased. All Sr-89 and -90 analyses have been chemical yield verified by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Fish (Tables C-26, C-27) Edible fish samples (American Eel, White Perch, Channel Catfish, Spot, etc.) were collected at three locations and analyzed for tritium and gamma emitters. Fish bones were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Gamma spectrometry of these samples showed K-40 in all six samples analyzed at an average concentratiorr of 3.6 pCi/g-wet with a range of 2.9-4.6 pCi/g-wet. All six bone samples analyzed for Sr-89 (°.Jere below the MDL (<0.06 to <0.2 pCi/g-dry). Two of the six samples analyzed for Sr-90. had detectable concentrations of 0.04-0.05 pCi/g-dry. The maximum level detected during the preoperational period was 0.94 pCi/g-dry. Tritium analyses were performed on both aqueous and organic fractions of the flesh portions of these samples. The average concentration of tritium was 82.5 pCi/l for the aqueous fraction and 200 pCi/l for the organic fraction. Of the six sam-ples analyzed, all results are essentially the same as those found in surface water for the same period. 16

Blue Crab (Tables C-28, C-29) Blue crab samples were collected at two locations and the flesh was analyzed for tritium in the aqueous fraction, gamma emitters and Sr-89 and -90. The shells were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. K-40 was the only garrma emitter detected with an average of 2.1 pCi/g-wet. All results for Sr-89 in flesh were below MDL with a range of 0.01 to 0.08 pCi/g-dry. Detectable concentrations of Sr-89 were found in two of the four shell samples, and averaged 1.3 pCi/g-dry. The MDL range for Sr-89 in shells was <0.08 to <0.1 pCi/g-dry. Three of four flesh samples showed detectable activity with concentrations of 0.007 to 0.07 pCi/g-wet of Sr-90. The MDL value was <0.007 pCi/g-wet. All of the shells had detectable activity of Sr-90. The range of activiti~s was 0.24 to 1.0 pCi/g-¢ry with no differen.ce observed between indicator a.nd control sta"tions ** One.sample. from statinn. llAl showed d.etectable -~oncentrations.of tritium~ The result (123+/-68 pCi/l) was comparable to tritium values found in surface water for this same period. Food Products (Table C-30) A wide variety of other human food products was sampled and analyzed for gamma emitters and Sr-89 and -90. These included cucumbers, asparagus, peppers, cabbage, corn, squash and tomatoes. All samples contained K-40 at concentrations from 1.5 to 5.9 pCi/g-wet. No other garrma emitters were detected in these food products. Sr-89 concentrations were all below MDL, which ranged from <0.006 to <0.2 pCi/g-wet. Eight of the fourteen samples analyzed showed detectable Sr-90 activity ranging from 0.003 to 0.015 pCi/g-wet. The MDLs ranged from <0.003 to <0.007 pCi/g-wet. Game (Table C-31) Two samples of muskrat were taken during this period. Flesh from both samples was analyzed for gamma emitters while muskrat bones were analyzed for.Sr-89 and Sr-90. Only naturally occurring K-40 was detected in the flesh samples ranging from 2.4 to 3.1 pCi/g. Both results for Sr-89 in muskrat bones were below MDL (<0.2 and <0.9 pCi/g-dry). *Detectable Sr-90 concentrations averaging 0.5 pCi/g-dry were observed in both samples. Beef (Table C-31) Three beef samples were collected during this reporting period. Only naturally occurring K-40 was detected in these samples at concentrations ranging between 1.7 and 2.7 pCi/g-wet. Beef Thyroid (Table C-31) Three beef thyroids were taken during this p~riod and analyzed for garrma emitters. One samp*le showed a detectable concentration of naturally occurring K-40 at a con-I I IB

Fodder Crop~ (Table C-32) Nine fodder crop samples were taken at six local farms and analyzed for garrrna emit-ters. Gamma spectrometry of these samples showed several radionuclides, both man-made and naturally occurring. Of the naturally occurring gamma emitters present, only K-40 was observed in all samples with an average. of 11 pCi/g-dry. The other naturally occurring nuclide detected was Be-7 which occurred in one weed chop sample. The man-made nuclide Cs-137 was observed in one soybean sample. The pre-sence of Cs-137 can be attributed to fallout from atmospheric n~clear weapons tests * . *~. 19

CONCLUSIONS The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for Salem Nuclear Generating Station at Artificial Island was conducted during 1981 in accordance with the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications. The objectives of the program were met during this period. The data collected assists in demonstrating that SNGS Units #1 and #2 were operated in compliance with Environmental Technical Speci fi cati ans. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the levels and fluctuations of radioactivity in environmental samples were as expected for an estuarine en-vironment. In addition no increases were observed in either radionuclide con-centrations in critical pathways or wi"th respect to radionucl.ide build up.
- Ambient radiation levels were relatively low, averaging* about 5.84 mrad/st.d *
. month.
- No. other unusual radi ol ogi cal* characteristics Y'ere observed j n_ the environs*of Artiftctal Island.
The operation of SNGS Unit~ #1 and #2 had* no* discernable effect on the radiological characteristics of the environs of Artificial Island. 20

. ~ APPENDIX B Sample Designation RMC identifies samples by a three part code. The first two letters are the power station identification code, in this case 11sA11. The next three letters are for the media sampled. AIO = Air Iodine GAM = Game APT = Air Particulates GAD = Deer ECH = Hard Shell Blue Crab IDM = Immersion Dose (TLD) ESB = Benthos MLK = Milk ESF = Edible Fish PWA
Potable Water; (PWR = raw, PWT
ESS = Sediment RWA = Ra_i.n Water FPS Beef SWA. = Surface Water FPV = Food Products, Various iHB. = Bov*i ne Thyroid FPG = Corn VGT = Fodder Crops FPL = Green Leafy Vegetables WWA = Well Water The last four symbols are a location code based on direction and distance from the site. Of these, the first two represent each of the sixteen angular sectors of 22.5 degrees centered about the reactor site. Sector one is divided evenly by the north axis and other sectors are num-bered in a clockwise direction; i.e., 2=NNE, 3=NE, 4=ENE, etc. The next digit is a letter which represents the radial distance from the plant: s = On-site location E = 4-5 miles off-site A = 0-1 miles off-site F = 5-10 miles off-site B = 1-2 miles off-site G = 10-20 miles off-site c = 2-3 miles off-site H = >20 miles off-site D = 3-4 miles off-site The last number is the station numerical designation within each treated) sector and zone; e.g., 1,2,3,.... For example, the designation SA-WWA-5Dl would indicate a sample in the SNGS program SA, consisting of well water (WWA), which had been collected in the 22.5 degree sector centered on each axis (5), at a distance of 3 to 4 miles off-site (D). The number 1 indicates that this is sampling station #1 in the designated area. 33

- Alpha emitte.rs are concentrated initi a fly from a 1 i.ter aliquot of wa.ter sample by coprecipitatiori with magnesium hydroxide.
The precipitate is then dissolved in hydrochloric acid and titanium trichloride is added to the solution. The alpha emitters are coprecipitated by adding barium chloride and sulfuric acid to pre-cipitate barium sulfate. The precipitate is transferred to a tared stainless steel planchet and dried. The plahchet is reweighed and counted in a low back-ground gas-fl ow proporti anal counter. Self-absorption corrections are made on the basis of the weight of the precipitate.

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR IODINE-131 Milk or Water (!0) The initial stable iodide concentration in milk is determined with an iodide ion specific electrode. Thirty milligrams of stable iodide carrier is then added to four (4) liters 6f milk. The iodide is removed from the milk by passage through ion-exchange resin. The iodide is eluted from the resin with sodium hypochlonite, and purified by a series of solvent extractions with the final extraction into a toluene phase. The toluene phase is mixed with a toluene-based liquid scintillation solution. The sample is then counted in a beta-gated ganma coincidence detector, shielded by six inches of steel. Distilled water is used as a blank. The yield is calculated from stable iodide recovery based on the recovered volume. Calculations are made utilizi.ng the follow.ing. equations:

The energy response curve has been flattened by a complex multiple element energy compensation shield supplied by Panasonic Corporation, manufacturer of the TLD reader. The four dosimeters per station* are sealed in a polyethylene bag.to demonstrate integrity at time of measurement. Visible through the bag are the sample placement instru.ctions. One set of TLDs is placed in a lead shield at RMC and represents a ze.ro dose. The TLDs are then taken and placed in the field stations; one field TLD set is placed in a field le.ad sh-ield-.at station 18.and i's us.ed in calculating the _in*-transit dose. Following the pre-designated exposure period the TLD is heated with hot gas and the luminescence measured with a TLD reader. Data are normalized to standard machine conditions by correcting machine settings to zero before readout. Data are corrected for in-transit dose using a set of TLDs which is kept in a lead shield in the field and only exposed d~ring transit. Average dose per exposure period, and its *error, are calculated. The basic calibration is in mR exposure to a standard Cs-137 source. This is converted to absorbed dose in tissue by the factor : 0.955 rad/Roentgen and to dose equivalent by using a quality factor of 1.

-.*:l GAMMA ANALYSIS OF AIR PARTICULATE COMPOSITES At the end of each calendar qu~rter, 13 weekly air filters from a given location are stacked in a two inch diameter Petri dish in chronological order, active area facing down, with the oldest filter at the bottom, nearest the detector, and the newest one on top. The Petri dish is closed and the sample counted on a Ge(Li) detector for 500 minutes. Calculation of Gamma Activity A special program developed by Tracor Northern is run on a PDP-11 computer. Photo-peaks are located by passing a digital filter through the spectrum, channel-by-channel, with the effect that the background portion of the spectrum is greatly reduced, leaving the peaks intact. To compute the desired net count under any one of these photopeaks, a background baseline is established extending from 1.5 times the full-width-at-half-max above, to the same distance below the centroid. The counts under this baseline are then subtracted out from the total number _of-counts -.under the photopeak. - The following are the calculations performed for the gamma activity, 2 sigma error and LLD: Result = (pCi /m3) = --~r~~*..;;;..D-~-- t2. 22)*(E)*(A)*(T)*(V) 2 sigma error (pCi/m3} = 2* (crk 2+crs 2)1/2 crk = 1 1/2 n 1

.. ;::_~ I I I * ~ ~...... .. ~... ANALYSIS OF AIR FILTERS FOR RADIOSTROtffIUM The air filters are placed in a small beake; and just enough concentrated nitric acid is added to cover the filters. A blank, composed of the same number of clean air filters, is prepared in the same way. Stable strontium carrier is then intro-duced into each sample and several nitric acid leachings are carried out to remove the radiostrontium from the filter media. Once this is done, the resultant nitrates are dissolved in distilled water and the filter residue is filtered out. Radioactive interferences are stripped out by coprecipitation on ferric hydroxide (yttrium strip) followed by a barium chromate strip. The strontium, now largely devoid of any radio-logical impur.ities, is converted to a carbonate form which is dried and weighed. The samples and blank are then counted on a low background gas proportional counter and, again, at least 14 days later. The basis for this two count method is that Sr-90 and Sr-89 are both unknown *quantities requiring two simultaneous equations to solve for them. Calculation of Sr-90 Activity:

- ANALYSIS OF RAW MILK-FOR RADIOSTRONTIUM A stable strontium carrier is first introduced into a one liter milk sample and into a distilled water sample of equal volume to be used as a blank.
The sam-ple(s) and blank are passed through cation resin columns which pick up stron-tium, calcium, magnesium and other cations. These cations are then eluted off with a TRIS-buffered 4N sodium chloride solution into a beaker and precipitated as carbonates upon heating. The carbonates are converted to nitrates with 6N nitric acid and, by acidifying further to an overall_ concentration of 70% ni-tric acid, strontium is forced out of solution somewhat ahead of calcium. Barium chromate precipitation is then performed to remove any traces of radium and radio-bari um. Strontium recrystallization is carried out to remove residual calcium which may have been coprecipitated with the initial strontium precipitation. Another recrystallization removes ingrown Y-90, marking the time of the yttrium strip. The strontium is _reconverted_ to the carbonate, filtered, dried and weighed to determine strontium recovery. The samples and blank are then-counted on a low-background gas proportional". counter and, again' at least 14 days later..The basis for this two count method is* that Sr-90 and Sr-89 are both unknown quanti-- ties requiring two simultaneous equations to solve for them.

RADIOSTRONTIUM IN WATER Stable strontium carrier is first introduced into a two liter water sample and into a distilled water sample of the same volume which is used as a blank. The sample(s) and blank are then made alkalin_e and heated to near boiling before pre-cipitating the carbonates. The carbonates are converted over to nitrates by fuming nitric acid recrystallization which acts to purify the sample of most of the calcium. Radioactive interferences are stripped out by coprecipitation on ferric hydroxide (yttrium strip) followed by a barium chromate strip. The stron-tium, now largely devoid of any chemical or radiological impurities, is converted back to a carbonate form before being dried and weighed. The samples and blank are then counted on a low background gas proportional counter and, again, at least 14 days later. The basis for this two count method is that Sr-90 and Sr-89 are both unknown quantities requiring two simultaneous equations to solve for them * .
