Form 1/2-ENV-01 05.F01 (page 4 of 39), Rev 5 Beaver Valley Power Station - Units 1 & 2 RTL# A9.690E Enclosure 2, Page iv I Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report Calendar Year - 2017 I Executive Summary - Liquid and Gaseous Effluent Control (Part 1 of 2) I Onsite Groundwater Monitoring: H-3 Summary: In 2017, twenty three (23) on-site monitoring wells were sampled in the spring and fall sampling periods. No new wells were installed, nor were any wells retired. MW-16 was sampled twelve (12) times throughout 2017, two (2) of which were included in the I yearly biannual sampling. These samples that were taken account for the highest concentrations. No adverse effect to the offsite environment has been detected at this time, because all offsite groundwater, drinking water and surface water samples were <440 pCi/L. See Enclosure 2, Page xvii for additional I details. Onsite Spills: There were no onsite spills > 100 gallons. I Decommissioning File Update: There were no items added to the site decommissioning files in accordance with 10CFR50.75(g). I Abnormal Liquid Releases: There were no abnormal liquid releases. Abnormal Gaseous Releases: There were two abnormal gaseous releases. I Liquid Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Liquid Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own ion-exchange vessels. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process I liquid waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit I or 2 high level liquid waste was processed (e.g., coolant recovery waste) it was performed at Unit 1, because it has a carbon pre-conditioning filter. I Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own charcoal delay beds and storage/decay tanks. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process gaseous waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit I I or 2 went to a shutdown condition, the gaseous waste was transferred for storage and decay at Unit 2, because Unit 2 has four (4) additional storage tanks. I I I I I I I I

Effluent Monitoring Channels Inoperable >30 Days:There were two (2) Effl uent Monitoring I Instrumentation Channels not returned to Operable status within 30 days. ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies: There were two (2) ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies. I ODCM Changes: There was one (1) changes made to the ODCM. Meteorological Data Recovery: The Meteorological Data Recovery met the minimum requirement of at-I least 90%, as specified in Section 5 of Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23, Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants. I Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
The 0-50 mile total and average population doses were calculated using liquid and gaseous release quantities and real time meteorology. The average population dose is based on four (4) million people within 0-50 miles of the BVPS site. The following comparison to I natural background radiation demonstrates that BVPS operations did not adversely affect the surround ing environment. I 99.96 man-mrem =BVPS Total Population Dose for the year 0.0000250 mrem = BVPS Average Individual Dose for the year I 296 mrem = Natural Background Individual Dose for the year. This dose value is documented as natural background radiation exposure for an individual in a year from the 1990 BElR V Report. I Carbon-14 Dose Assessment: Carbon-1 4 dose was calcu lated using EPRI & RG-1 .109 calculation methods and the default ODCM receptor. The highest organ doses were to the bone (child). Details of the I dose assessment due to releases of Carbon-14 in gaseous effluents are provided in Attachment 3 of this report. I I I I I I

No new wells were installed, nor were any wells retired . MW-16 was sampled twelve (12) times throughout 2017 , two (2) of which were included in I the yearly biannual sampling . These samples that were taken account for the highest concentrations . Sixteen (16) wells returned results of less than the pre-operational mean (440 pCi/L) during all sample periods in 2017. Seven (7) wells returned results >440 pCi/L, but <2000 pCi/l. One (1) well returned results >2000 pCi/L. No wells exceeded 20,000 pCi/L with the highest concentration recorded as 15,516 pCi/L. I The NEUFENOC communication level was reached for MW-12S & MW-12D during 2007. Notification to local, state & federal agencies was performed on 10/08/07. Additional communication for new well results was performed on 09/08/1 O for those new wells that exceeded 2000 pCi/L. The newly installed well MW-20D exceeded 2,000 pCi/L on its first sample, but this was expected since the well was installed to monitor the previously identified plume intercepting MW-16. No adverse effect to the I offsite environment has been detected at this time, because all offsite groundwater, drinking water and surface water samples were <440 pCi/l. Mitigation activities (catch basin sleeving) to prevent tritiated condensate water from reach ing the groundwater were completed 12/17/11 . Remediation well , EW-1, was installed and began operation in October 2013. This equipment captures the tritium plume and it I becomes a permitted discharge. Samples are taken monthly to provide the concentration of the discharge. Remediation will continue until the suspected plume is depleted and tritium levels stabilize. Principal Gamma Emmitter Summary I All onsite monitoring wells were sampled during the year, and analyzed for Principal Gamma Emitters. The results showed no positive indication of Licensed Radioactive Material (LRM) in any of the analyses.

- 1) Unit 1 Main Steam Effluent Monitor, RM-1 MS-1 OOC On 03/25/17 the monitor was taken out of service to inspect and repair with regards to spiking . It was determined that the detector and preamp were to be replaced . Due to the location of the detector, it must be replaced during an outage . The monitor is currently out of service and is schedu led to be replaced during 1R25. (reference CR-2017-04541 ).
- 2) Unit 1 Liquid Waste Effluent Monitor, RM-1LW-104 On 11/26/17 the monitor was taken out of service in support of ECP 16-0113-001 that would replace and install new digital rate meters. Due to Engineering and vendor issues with parts, the replacement was delayed. The monitor was returned to I

I The dose commitment limits for 40 CFR 190 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC (ODCM 1/2-0DC-3.03 Control 3.11.4.1) are as follows : a) <or= 25 mrem / calendar year (for the total body, or any organ except the thyroid) I b) < or= 75 mrem / calendar year (for the thyroid) (2) The dose contribution listed for the total body is for Direct Radiation . This was calculated by comparing offsite TLD exposure at the ODCM controlling location (0 .8 miles NW; Midland, PA) to TLD exposure at the I REMP control location (16 .5 miles SSW; Weirton , WV) . Compliance to 100 mrem Limit of 10 CFR 20.1301 For Total Effective Dose Equivalent I Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(1), the Tota l Effective Dose Equivalent from licensed operation to the maximum individual during the report period , is 5.06 mrem. This is a summation of Direct Radiation Exposure (calculated by comparing the maximum of all perimeter TLD exposures to TLD exposure at the REMP control location) plus Effluent Doses (calcu lated per the ODCM). I Members of the Public Doses Due To Their Activities Inside The Site Boundary I The radiation doses for MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the site boundary are not greater than the doses listed in this table to show compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 or 10 CFR 20.1301 . Evaluations have shown that exposure time for individuals not occupationally associated with the plant site is minimal in comparison to the exposure time considered I for the dose calculation at or beyond the site boundary. Therefore , a separate assessment of radiation doses from radioactive effluents to MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC , due to their activities inside the site boundary , is not necessary for this report period. I 0-50 Mile Population Doses From Liquid and Gaseous Effluents 0-50 mile Total Population Dose from liquid and gaseous effluents= 99.96 man-mrem (Total Body) 0-50 mile Average Population Dose from liquid and gaseous effluents = 0.0000250 man-mrem (Total Body) I I I

- 1) Main Steam Cable Vault (Fire Sump) sample On 5/22/17 the main steam cable vault was discharged. Two independent samples were obtained by Radiation I
Protection and no isotopes were identified. However, the samples were discarded before Chemistry could analyze them for tritium . The discharge was documented and based on the tritium from the most recent sump discharge (reference CR-2017-07282) . I
- 2) Catch Basin (Yard Drain) Sample Catch Basin 17A, 1CB-17A, is sampled annually. During Q4 2017 , there was no flow observed at this location and no sample could be obtained. Th is location is the first sample point of the yard drains around Unit 1 and samples I
were obtained downstream of 1CB-17A and had no LRM detected . (reference CR-2018-00126)
- 3) Beaver Valley Representative Sampling I
It was determined that, due to incorrectly sized nozzles and variations the ventilation stack flows , the effluent monitor sampling skid does not provide representative sampling of particulate isotopes (especially of larger particle sizes) under all normally occurring ventilation conditions at all of Unit 1 pathways and Unit 2 Ventilation Vent and Condensate Polishing Building Vent pathways. This condition was identified and questioned during a Unit 1 sample I pump replacement in April 2017. Due to the limited amount of particu late that is released from the site, it does not significantly affect dose or dose rates to the pub lic, nor challenge any regulatory limits (reference CR-2017-04211 ).

Attachment 1 Clarification Hourly meteorological data is not provided for specific periods of Abnormal Gaseous Release during the calendar I quarters (as indicated in Regulatory Guide 1.21 ), for the following reasons :
- 1) All routine Gaseous Releases for the calendar year were determined to be within design objectives, where as, the I ODCM Dose Limits and the ODCM Dose Rate Limits are considered to be the design objectives.
- 2) There were two Abnormal Gaseous Releases during the calendar year, neither exceeded design objectives.

SUMMARY
and INDEX I Report Overview: I The AREOR provides a detailed summary of the BVPS Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). During the report period, samples of air, water, shoreline sediment, milk, I fish, food crops, feed crops, vegetation, and direct radiation (in the vicinity of the BVPS site) have been measured, analyzed, evaluated, and summarized. During the report period, the BVPS radioactive effluent releases (as performed in accordance with the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) program), did not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License, Technical Specifications and/or the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The results of REMP verify that the effluent releases did not impact the environment with a measurable concentration of radioactive materials and/or levels of radiation that are higher than expected. I Description of Pre-operational REMP (1974 - 1975): I A pre-operational REMP was performed during the period 1974 through 1975. At that time, samples were collected and analyzed to determine the amount of radioactivity present in the I environment prior to BVPS operation. The resulting values are considered a "baseline" to which current sample analyses can be compared. A summary of the pre-operational data is summarized I in Table 2-3 of this report. Description of Operational REMP (1976 - Present}: I The operational REMP was initiated during calendar year 1976 and continued through the report I period. During the past forty (40) years, radiation and radioactivity in the environment was monitored within a 10-mile radius of the site. A description of the operational REMP is outlined in Table 2-1 of this report. In general, two (2) types of samples were collected and compared I during the report period, and are described as follows:
- Control Samples: These samples are collected from areas that are beyond measurable I influence of BVPS operation, and are used as reference data. Normal background radiation levels, or radiation present due to causes other than BVPS operation, can thus be compared to I the environment surrounding the BVPS site. During the report period, three hundred four (304) analyses were performed on samples from the control locations. This includes eight (8) analyses were completed for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) at the control I locations. Results of the analyses from the control locations are summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.
I
- Indicator Samples: Indicator samples are collected to determine the radiological impact of BVPS operation in the environment. These samples are collected from various locations near I

SUMMARY
and INDEX the BVPS site. At a minimum, the samples are collected from areas where the BVPS I contribution would indicate the most significant radiological impact. During the report period, one thousand five hundred forty-nine (1,549) analyses were performed on samples I collected from eighty-seven (87) indicator locations. In addition, five hundred twenty (520) analyses were completed for TLDs at the indicator locations. Results of the analyses from the indicator locations are also summarized in Table 2-2 ohhis report. I
- Comparisons: Current analysis results from the indicator samples were compared to both I current control sample values and the pre-operational baseline to determine if changes in radioactivity levels were attributable to BVPS operation.
I Determination of Environmental Impact I
- 2017 Sample Media and Analyses: Results for drinking water, surface water, shoreline stream sediment, fish, cow milk, goat milk, feedstuff, foodcrops, air particulate and air radioiodine media remained consistent with previous data. Minor increases and decreases I
were noted in most sample media, and any positive results attributable to the BVPS operation were consistent with station data of authorized radioactive discharges, and were within limits I permitted by the operating license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of I Detection (LLD).
- Airborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of I
airborne radioiodine and airborne particulates. The results during this report period were similar to previous years. There was no notable increase in natural products and no I detectable fission products or other radionuclides in the airborne particulate media during the year attributed to effluent releases from BVPS. I
- Direct Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via measurement of environmental radiation doses by use of Thermo Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs). The I results of TLD processing have indicated a stable trend and compare well with previous years. I
- Ingestion Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of milk, fish, and foodcrops (leafy vegetables). I For milk samples, strontium-90 (attributable to past atmospheric weapons testing), was detected at levels similar to those of previous years. The gamma spectrometry analyses I

SUMMARY
and INDEX indicated positive results for naturally occurring potassium-40 at average environmental levels. The fish samples indicated below LLD levels in each of the sample analyses. Foodcrop (leafy vegetation) samples indicated naturally occurring potassium-40 at average environmental levels. I
- Waterborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM pathway was evaluated via samples of I drinking water, ground (well) water, surface (river) water and river sediment.
I Water samples were analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Tritium was not identified in any of these water samples. Iodine-131 analysis of drinking water indicated positive analyses, but the values were consistent with iodine-131 at the upstream surface I (river) water control location, and was not due to liquid effluent releases from BVPS. Sediment samples were collected from upstream of the site, at the discharge point of BVPS I liquid effluent releases, and downstream of the site. Analysis of samples indicated naturally occurring radionuclides potassium-40, thallium-208, bismuth-214, lead-212, lead-214, I radium-226, and actinium-228 in all results. The analyses also indicated cesium-137, but the values were consistent with cesium-137 at the control location, and most likely caused by previous nuclear weapons tests. Cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 were identified in some of the I samples that were obtained at the shorelines of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. This is not unusual because the BVPS site discharges cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 in liquid waste effluents. I The activity detected at these sample locations is consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release concentration limits set forth in the ODCM. I
- Other Exposure Pathways: In addition to the samples collected from the exposure I pathways described above, other media (i.e., feedstuff) were also collected. Results were consistent with previous years, with no degrading trends.
I
- Offsite Groundwater Monitoring (Historical): There were a total of four (4) offsite groundwater samples collected and analyzed for tritium and by gamma spectrometry. The samples were collected on a semi-annual basis from two (2) locations within four (4) miles of I the site. The locations included one ( 1) well in Hookstown, PA; and one (1) well in Georgetown, PA. No gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in the analyses. All I tritium results were less than the pre-operational value.

SUMMARY
and INDEX
- Supplemental Sample Sites: REMP includes supplemental sampling sites in addition to the I
required sites set forth in the ODCM. The supplemental sites include three (3 ) air sampling sites, one (1) sediment site, one (1) milk animal feedstuff site, and five (5) soil sampling I sites.
- Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
During the report period, the total calculated 0-I 50 mile population dose was 61 man-mrem (liquid releases), and 39 man-mrem (gaseous releases). The average individual population dose from BVPS operation was less than <1 I mrem. Accordingly, the typical dose to an individual from background (natural radiation exposure including radon) was estimated as an average of 296 mrem per year according to the National Academy of Sciences 1990 BEIR Report. In 2009, the NCRP Report No. 160:
"Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States," Journal of Radiological Protection J Radio/. Prat. 29.3 (2009) defined the radiation exposure population dose to be 620 mrem per year. The following graph in Figure i-1 illustrates that the average individual population dose was not affected from BVPS operation.

SUMMARY
and INDEX I
- Summary: During the report period, radioactive effluent releases from the BVPS site did I not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License, Technical Specifications and/or the ODCM. The BVPS operational REMP program was followed throughout the report period. The results demonstrate the adequacy of radioactive effluent control at BVPS, I and that BVPS operation did not adversely affect the surrounding environment. Positive results were attributable to BVPS operation and were consistent with station data of I authorized radioactive discharges within limits permitted by the NRC license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical I fluctuation for activities near the LLD.
Inter-laboratory Comparison Programs: I
- Split Sample Program: BVPS shared split samples with the Pennsylvania Department of I Environmental Protection (P ADEP) in support of their nuclear power plant monitoring program. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of milk (2),
surface water (3), river sediment (1), fish (1), foodcrops (2), co-located air particulate/air I iodine (4), and TLD (24). The split sample program was coordinated by the state, and the results are not provided with this report. I
- Spike Sample Program: Spiked samples were provided by an independent laboratory and then analyzed by the REMP contractor laboratory. The samples were provided throughout I the report period and included water samples, milk samples, filter paper samples and charcoal cartridge samples. All one hundred eight (108) analyses performed by the contactor I laboratory on the spiked samples met the NRC comparison criteria.
Special Reports: I
- Since no reporting levels were exceeded during 2017, no Special Reports were required. A I Special Report shall be submitted to the NRC when (1) levels of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeds the limits specified in ODCM procedure l /2-0DC-3.03 , Attachment Q Table 3.12-2, and when (2) the results of the following calculation are I ~ 1.0 (for calculations performed when more than one radionuclide is detected in the sampling medium):

SUMMARY
and INDEX Land Use Census Results: I Highlights from the most recent Land Use Census are documented in letter NPD3NRE: 1250, dated October 23 , 2017 and are summarized as follows: I
- Nearest Residence (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous I census. The nearest inhabited residence is 209 Ferry Hill Road, Shippingport, PA (0.4 miles, east).
I
- Nearest Garden >500 sgft: The location has not changed since the previous census. The closest garden location is the Colaber Residence, 1201 Virginia Avenue, Midland, PA 11 (1.033 miles, northwest). The Cox Residence, 238 State Route 168, Hookstown, PA (0.760 miles, south-southwest) was available for sampling cabbage this year but does not meet all the requirements of NUREG-1301.
I
- Nearest Dairy Cow (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous census. The location remains at Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, I
PA (6.067 miles, southeast). 11
- Nearest Doe Goat (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous census. The closest location is the Covert Residence, 930 Pine Street (Route 168),
Hookstown, PA (2.131 miles, southwest). I
- Prevailing Winds: The prevailing wind direction for ground releases was identified by I showing the highest deposition parameters (D/Q) in the east (E) sector. The prevailing wind direction for elevated releases was identified by showing the highest D/Q in the east-southeast (ESE) sector. The REMP properly monitors the environment with air I
particulate sampling stations in some sectors and direct radiation TLDs in all sectors. I
- 2017 Dairy Cow & Doe Goat Sampling Locations: The dairy cow sampling locations have not changed in 2017. The locations remain at Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.067 miles, southeast), and Windsheimer Dairy, 20 Windsheimer Lane, I
Burgettstown, PA (10.475 miles, south-southwest). The doe goat sampling location has not changed since the previous census and remains at the Covert Residence, 930 Pine I Street (Route 168), Hookstown, PA (2.131 miles, southwest).
- D/0 for Milch Animal Locations: The 2017 milch animal sampling locations have not I
experienced a >20% increase in D/Q. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" is not required. I I Vlll I

SUMMARY
and INDEX I
- D/0 for Offsite Dose Determination: There is no adverse effect on the current ODCM I methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM I methodology. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" is not required.
I
- D/0 Historical Trend Comparison: There is no adverse trend in D/Q when comparing 2003 to 2017 data to the ODCM default D/Q values. This validates that there is no I adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously I calculated using current ODCM methodology. Therefore, a change in ODCM Receptor location and/or a change to meteorology at the current ODCM Receptor location is not I required.
The 2017 Land Use Census results indicate that no significant changes are required in the current I Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program or to its methodology. I Deviations, Changes and Adjustments to the Normal Sampling Program
- Deviation from Normal Milk Sampling & Analysis Schedule: There were two deviations I from the required milk sampling and analysis schedule occurred for the reporting period.
Sufficient milk samples were not available from locations within the 5 mile radius in 2017. I The unavailability of milk caused the REMP to not meet the ODCM sample requirements in l/2-0DC-2.03 and in l/2-0DC-3.03 , Attachment Q Table 3.12-1 stating that a minimum of four (4) milk locations shall be sampled. This initiated the ODCM requirement for sampling I two (2) additional garden locations based upon the highest predicted annual average D/Q when milk locations are not available. The other issue was documented through internal notification because it regarded a supplemental sample. I
- Deviation from Normal Surface and Drinking Water Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
I There was one deviation from the ODCM required water sampling and analysis schedule during the report. The one issue was documented in Condition Report 2017-09446. I I I I lX

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION A. Radiation Fundamentals I Radiation is the conveyance of energy through space. For example, heat emanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. All matter I consists of atoms, which are comprised of positively charged particles (protons), negatively charged particles (electrons), and non-charged/neutral particles (neutrons). The relatively I large particles (protons and neutrons) are packed tightly together in a cluster at the center of the atom called the nucleus, while the smaller particles (electrons) orbit around the nucleus. In an electrically neutral atom, the negative charges of the electrons are balanced by the I positive charges of the protons. Due to their dissimilar charges, the protons and electrons have a strong attraction for each other. This holds the atom together. Other attractive forces I between the protons and neutrons keep the densely packed protons from repelling each other, and prevent the nucleus from breaking apart. I B. Radiation and Radioactivity The following provides an alphabetical glossary of terms associated with radiation, I radioactivity, and the radioactive decay process. The terms discussed include alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, genetic effects, half-life, ionization, isotopes, neutrons, radiation, I radioactive decay, radionuclides and somatic effects. Alpha Particles: Particulate and electromagnetic radiation each travel through matter I differently because of their different properties. Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons, are relatively large, and carry an electrical charge of +2. Alpha particles are I ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive atom at speeds ranging from 2,000 to 20,000 miles per second. However, due to its comparatively large size, an alpha particle usually does not travel very far before it loses most of its energy through collisions and interactions with other I atoms. As a result, a sheet of paper or a few centimeters of air can easily stop alpha particles. Beta Particles: Beta particles are very small, and comparatively fast particles, traveling at speeds near the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Beta particles have an electrical charge of either + 1 or -1. Because they are so small and have a low charge, they do not I collide and interact as often as alpha particles, so they can travel farther. Beta particles can usually travel through several meters in air, but may be stopped by a thin piece of metal or I wood. I I I 1- 1
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION Gamma Rays: Gamma rays are pure energy and travel at the speed of light. They have no measurable charge or mass and generally travel much farther than alpha or beta particles before being absorbed. After repeated interactions, the gamma ray loses its energy and vanishes. The range of a gamma ray in air varies, depending on the ray's energy and interactions. Very high-energy gamma radiation can travel a considerable distance, where as I low energy gamma radiation may travel only a few feet in air. Lead is used as shielding material for gamma radiation because of its density. Several inches of lead or concrete may be needed to effectively shield gamma rays. I Genetic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation which are observed in the offspring of the I exposed individual that could occur as a result of ionizing radiation interacting with the genes in the human cells. I Half-life: The length of time an atom remains radioactive is defined in terms of half-life, which is the amount of time required for a radioactive substance to lose half of its activity I through the process of radioactive decay. Radionuclides that have infrequent emissions have a long half-life, where as, radionuclides that have more frequent emissions have a short half-life. I Ionization: Through interactions with atoms, alpha, beta, and gamma radiation lose their I energy. When these forms of radiation interact with any form of material, the energy they impart may cause atoms in that material to become ions, or charged particles. Normally, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, thus, the number of positive and negative I charges cancel, in which the atom is electrically neutral. When one or more electrons are removed, an ion is formed. Ionization is one of the processes that may result in damage to I biological systems. Isotopes: A group of identical atoms containing the same number of protons make up an I element. In fact, the number of protons an atom contains determines its chemical identity. For instance, all atoms with one proton are hydrogen atoms, and all atoms with eight protons are oxygen atoms. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an element may vary. I Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Different isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties, and I many are stable or non-radioactive. An unstable or radioactive isotope of an element is called a radioisotope, a radioactive atom, or a radionuclide. Radionuclides usually contain an excess amount of energy in the nucleus. The excess energy is usually due to a surplus or I deficit in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Radionuclides such as uranium-238, beryllium-7 and potassium-40 occur naturally. Others are man-made, such as iodine-131 , I cesium-137, and cobalt-60. I 1-2 I
I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Neutrons: Neutrons come from several sources, including the interactions of cosmic radiation with the earth's atmosphere and nuclear reactions within operating nuclear power reactors. However, neutrons are not of environmental concern since the neutron source at nuclear power stations is sealed within the containment building. Because neutrons have no charge, they are able to pass very close to the nuclei of the material through which they are I traveling. As a result, neutrons may be captured by one of these nuclei or they may be deflected. When deflected, the neutron loses some of its energy. After a series of these I deflections, the neutron has lost most of its energy. At this point, the neutron moves about as slow as the atoms of the material through which it is traveling, and is called a thermal neutron. In comparison, fast neutrons are much more energetic than thermal neutrons and have greater potential for causing damage to the material through which they travel. Fast neutrons can have from 200 thousand to 200 million times the energy of thermal neutrons. I Neutron shielding is designed to slow fast neutrons and absorb thermal neutrons. Neutron shielding materials commonly used to slow neutrons down are water or polyethylene. The shield is then completed with a material such as cadmium, to absorb the now thermal I neutrons. Concrete is also used to form an effective neutron shield because it contains water molecules and can be easily molded around odd shapes. I Radiation: This is the conveyance of energy through space. For instance, heat emanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. Ionizing I radiation is another type of radiation and has similar properties to those of the examples listed above. Ionizing radiation consists of both electromagnetic radiation and particulate I radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is energy with no measurable mass that travels with a wave-like motion through space. Included in this category are gamma rays and x-rays. Particulate radiation consists of tiny, fast moving particles which, if unhindered, travel in a I straight line through space. The three types of particulate radiation of concern to us are alpha particles, which are made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons; beta particles, which are essentially free electrons; and neutrons. The properties of these types of radiation will be described more fully in the Range and Shielding section. I I 1-3
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Radioactive Decay: Radioactive atoms, over time, will reach a stable, non-radioactive state through a process known as radioactive decay, which is the release of energy from an atom I through the emission of ionizing radiation. Radioactive atoms may decay directly to a stable state or may go through a series of decay stages, called a radioactive decay series, and produce several daughter products that eventually result in a stable atom. The loss of I energy through radioactive decay may transform the atom into a chemically different element. For example, when uranium-238 decays, it emits an alpha particle and, as a result, I the atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its chemical identity, then when the uranium-238 atom loses the 2 protons and 2 neutrons, it is transformed into an atom of thorium-234. Thorium-234 is one of the 14 I successive daughter products of uranium-238. Radon is another daughter product, and the decay series ends with stable lead-206. The following example is part of a known I radioactive decay series, called the uranium series, which begins with uranium-238 and ends with lead-206. The information provided in the upper portion of each block is the isotope name, while the information provided in the lower portion of each block is the half-life.

I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Somatic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation develop in the directly exposed individual, including an unborn child. Somatic effects can be divided further into acute and chronic effects. Acute effects develop shortly after exposure to large amount of radiation. Chronic I effects are a result of exposure to radiation over an extended period of time. I C. Units of Measurement Activity (Curie): This relates the number of atoms in a sample that disintegrate (decay) per I unit of time. Each time an atom disintegrates, radiation is emitted. The curie (Ci) is the unit used to describe the activity of a material and indicates the rate at which the atoms of a I radioactive substance are decaying. One curie indicates the disintegration of 37 billion atoms per second. A curie is a unit of activity, not a quantity of material. Thus, the amount of material required to produce one curie varies. A smaller unit of the curie is used when I discussing the low concentrations of radioactivity detected in environmental samples. For instance, the picocurie (pCi) represents one trillionth of a curie. I Absorbed Dose (rad): This is a term used to describe the radiation energy absorbed by any material exposed to ionizing radiation, and can be used for both particulate and I electromagnetic radiation. The rad is the unit used to measure the absorbed dose. It is defined as the energy of ionizing radiation deposited per gram of absorbing material ( 1 rad = I 100 erg/g). The rate of absorbed dose is usually given in rad/hr. The rad is not used to quantify biological damage caused by ionizing radiation. I Dose Equivalent (rem): Biological damage due to alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation may result from ionizing radiation. Some types of radiation, especially alpha particles, cause I dense local ionization and can result in up to 20 times the amount of biological damage for the same energy imparted as do gamma or x-rays. Therefore, a quality factor must be applied to account for the different ionizing capabilities of various types of ionizing I radiation. When the quality factor is multiplied by the absorbed dose (rad) the result is the dose equivalent. Dose equivalent is an estimate of the possible biological damage resulting I from exposure to a particular type of ionizing radiation and is measured in rem. An example of this conversion from absorbed dose (rad) to dose equivalent (rem) uses the quality factor for alpha radiation, which is equal to 20. Thus, 1 rad of alpha radiation is equal to 20 rem. I Since beta and gamma radiation each have a quality factor of 1, then 1 rad of either beta or gamma radiation is equal to 1 rem. Neutrons have a quality factor ranging from 2 to 10. In I terms of radiation, the rem is a relatively large unit. Therefore, a smaller unit known as the rnillirem, is often used and one millirem (mrem) is equal to 1/1000 of a rem. I I 1-5
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I D. Lower Limit of Detection I The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for environmental samples is a calculated value that represents an a-priori (before-the-fact) limit for the smallest concentration (i.e. ; pCi per unit mass or volume) of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% I probability, and with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. A calculated LLD must consider analytical variables such as standard deviation I of the background counting rate, counting efficiency, sample size, fractional radiochemical yield, radioactive decay constant, and elapsed time between sample collection and time of counting. I E. Scope and Objectives of REMP I The environmental program consists of environmental monitoring for radioactivity in the vicinity of BVPS. Environmental sampling and analyses include air, water, milk, vegetation, I river sediments, fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surrounding the site. The results of these media are assessed to determine impacts of the plant operation on the environment. I The AREOR for BVPS summarizes REMP conducted by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company during the report period. I F. Description of the Beaver Valley Site I BVPS is located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the Borough of Shippingport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on a 453 acre tract of land. The site is approximately one mile from Midland, Pennsylvania, five miles from East Liverpool, Ohio, and twenty-five miles from I Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Figure 1-1 shows the site location in relation to the principal population centers. Population density in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. I The population within a five mile radius of the plant is approximately 15,000. The only area within the radius of concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, Pennsylvania, with a population of approximately 2,539 as determined from the 2016 U.S. Census. I The site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. It extends from the river ( elevation 665 feet I above sea level) to a ridge along the border south of the Beaver Valley Power Station at a maximum elevation of 1160 feet. Plant grade level is approximately 735 feet above sea level. I BVPS is on the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is I 3 .1 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam, and 19 .6 miles upstream from I 1-6 I
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia border is located 5.2 river miles downstream from the site. The river flow is regulated by a series of dams and reservoirs on the Beaver, Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and their tributaries. I During the report period, the Ohio River flow (as obtained from the Corps of Engineers - Water Resources Engineering) at the New Cumberland Dam ranged from 6,904 cubic feet I per second (minimum monthly average) to 204,852 cubic feet per second (maximum monthly average). The mean flow during the report period was approximately 49,837 cubic feet per second. Water temperature of the Ohio River typically varies from 33° Fahrenheit to I 80° Fahrenheit. The minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures in July and/or August. Water quality in the Ohio River at the site location is I affected primarily by the water quality of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Beaver rivers. The climate of the area may be classified as humid continental. The predominant wind I direction is typically from the southwest in summer and from the west in winter. The National Climatic Data Center indicates the following data for the Beaver Falls, PA area: I The total annual precipitation during the report period was 37.20 inches. The average mean temperature during the report period was 60.8° Fahrenheit. I The basic features of the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 are tabulated below: Beaver Valley Unit 1 Beaver Valley Unit 2 I Licensed Power Level 2900 - megawatts thermal 2900 - megawatts thermal Type of Power PWR PWR I No. of Reactor Coolant Loops No. of Steam Generators & Type 3 3 - Vertical 3 3 - Vertical I Steam Used by Main Turbine Saturated Saturated The BVPS units utilize two separate systems (primary and secondary) for transferring heat I from the source (the reactor) to the receiving component (turbine-generator). Because the two systems are isolated from each other, primary and secondary waters do not mix, and I radioactivity in the primary system water is normally isolated from the secondary system. Reactor coolant in the primary system is pumped through the reactor core and steam generators by means of reactor coolant pumps. Heat is transferred from the primary system I to the secondary system in the steam generators. The steam is then formed and delivered to the main unit turbine, which drives the electrical generator. The steam is condensed after I passing through the turbine, and returned to the steam generators to begin another steam/water cycle. I I 1-7

Particulate Samples are not counted within 24 hours after filter change. Perform gamma isotopic analysis on each sample when gross beta is greater than 10 times the yearly mean of (b) control samples. Long-term composite samples are obtained from short-term composite samples at the specified (c) locations. (d) Composite samples are collected at intervals not exceeding 2 hours. (e) Searight Dairy is no longer operational. (f) Milk samples are collected biweekly when animals are grazing . The milk samples are collected I monthly at other times. (g) The fish samples contain whatever species are available. IF adequate sample size is available, THEN the sample is separated according to species, and 11 compositing will provide one sample of each species. IF adequate sample size is not available, THEN separation by species is not practical. Therefore , edible parts of all fish in the sample are mixed to provide one sample. I (h) Composite samples are obtained by collecting an aliquot at intervals not exceeding 2 hours at location 2.1 . In December of 2016, location 2 .1 was closed. The water treatment plant operator at location 5 obtains the weekly grab sample from the daily composite grab samples. In I December of 2016 , location 5 was transitioned to a composite sample to replace location 2.1. For location 49A, the weekly grab sample is obtained by a field technician . I (i) Two (2) TLDs are collected quarterly from each monitoring location. (k) ODCM procedure 1/2-0DC-3.03, Attachment Q, Table 3.12-1 requires three (3) dairies to be selected on basis of highest potential thyroid dose using milch census data.

Characterization of Air and Meteorology I The air near the site contains pollutants typical for an industrial area. generally from the southwest in summer and from the west in the winter. Air flow 1s I 2. Air Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I a. Program I The air is sampled for gaseous radioiodine and radioactive particulates at each of eight (8) offsite air sampling stations. The locations of these stations are listed in Table 2-1 and shown on a map in Figure 2-1. I Samples are collected at each of these stations by continuously drawing two cubic I feet per minute of atmosphere air through a glass fiber filter paper and a charcoal cartridge. The glass fiber filter paper is used for collection of airborne particulates, while the charcoal cartridge is used for collection of radioiodine. Samples are I collected on a weekly basis. I The charcoal cartridge is used in the weekly analysis of airborne iodine-131. The glass fiber filter papers are analyzed each week for gross beta, then composited by station each quarter for gamma spectrometry analysis. In order to reduce interference I from short-lived naturally occurring radioactivity (e.g. radon and thorium), the glass fiber filter papers are allowed to decay prior to performing beta analysis in a low background counting system.

- 3. Results and Conclusions I
A summary of data is presented in Table 2-2. I
- a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates I Gross Beta: A total of four hundred sixteen (416) weekly samples from eight (8) locations were analyzed for gross beta. The results were comparable to that of I previous years. Figure 2-2 indicates the weekly average concentration of gross beta in air particulates. I Gamma Spectrometry: A total of thirty-two (32) quarterly samples were composited from eight (8) locations and analyzed for gamma spectrometry. Naturally occurring I beryllium-7 was identified in twenty-eight of twenty-eight (28 of 28) indicator samples, and four of four (4 of 4) control samples. No other gammas were identified.
A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A I trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-2. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were two deviations from the required airborne particulate sampling and analysis schedule I during the report period. I During the sampling period of 04/10/17-04/17/17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine sampling station at Brunton's Dairy in Aliquippa (Site No. 27, 6.16 miles SE) was found to be out of service. The cause was a tripped breaker on the totalizer due to I thunderstorms over the weekend. The breaker was reset during the change out for the next week. The sample station was out of service for approximately 22 hours as I reported by the REMP technician. (CR-2017-04551) During the sampling period of 12/1/17-12/18/17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine I sampling station at Cook's Ferry Substation in Shippingport (Site No. 30, 0.5 miles ENE) was found to be out of service. The cause was a malfunctioning totalizer. The I components of the air station were replaced and returned to service. The sample station was out of service for approximately 70 hours as reported by the REMP technician. (CR-2017-08225) I During the sampling period of 07/31 /17-08/07 /17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine I sampling station at Old Meyer Farm in Hookstown (Site No. 13, 1.49 miles SW) was found to be out of service.

- 1. Characterization of Shoreline Stream Sediment and Soil I
The stream sediment (river bottoms) consists largely of sand and silt. Soil samples may vary from sand and silt to a heavy clay with variable amounts of organic material. I
- 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I
- a. Program I Shoreline stream sediment was collected semi-annually above the Montgomery Dam, and near the BVPS outfall structure. A Ponar or Eckman dredge is used to collect the I sample. The sampling locations are also listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3. I Although not required by the ODCM, soil samples were collected at each of the nine (9) locations in 2015 . In 2017, the locations were reduced from ten (10) to five (5), I as well as the sample frequency was revised from once per three years to once every five years. Soil was last sampled in 2015 and will be performed in 2020. At each location, twelve (12) core samples (3" diameter by 2" deep) are gathered at prescribed I
points on a 10 foot radius circle. Each location is permanently marked with reference pins. Each set of samples is systematically selected by moving along the radius in I such a manner as to assure representative undisturbed samples. Sampling locations are listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3. I Shoreline stream sediment and soil are analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides. I
- b. Analytical Procedures Gamma Emitter Analysis of Stream Sediment: Analysis is performed in a 300 mL I
plastic bottle and analyzed by gamma spectrometry. I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Soil: Although not required by the ODCM, analysis is performed in a 300 rnL plastic bottle and analyzed by gamma spectrometry. I I I 2-28 I

- 3. Results and Conclusions I A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is I shown on Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.
I a. Shoreline Stream Sediment Gamma Spectrometry: A total of four (4) sediment samples were analyzed by gamma I spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring potassium-40, thallium-208, lead-212, lead-214, bismuth-214, radium-226 and actinum-228, were detected in I two of two (2 of 2) indicator samples and two of two (2 of2) control samples. Cesium-137: Radionuclide cesium-137 was identified in two of two (2 of 2) indicator I samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples. The results were comparable to that of previous years (current annual range = 0.05 to 0.08 picocurie / gram) and less than I the pre-operational level of 0.4 picocurie / gram. Also, because cesium-13 7 was identified at the control location (upstream), then it was not due to plant effluent releases and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons I tests. I Cobalt-58: Radionuclide cobalt-58 was identified in one of two (1 of 2) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The sample, which indicated cobalt-58, was obtained at the shore line of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. The I result was comparable to the previous years (current annual range = LLD to O.14 picocurie / gram) and the data is slightly higher than the BVPS Main Outfall Facility I pre-operational level of 0.098 picocurie / gram. Cobalt-60: Radionuclide cobalt-60 was identified in two of two (2 of 2) indicator I samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples, which indicated cobalt-60, were obtained at the shore line of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. The results were comparable to previous years (current annual range = 0 .12 to O.15 I picocurie / gram), and the data is currently lower than the BVPS Main Outfall Facility pre-operational level of 0.4 picocurie / gram. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required sediment sampling and analysis schedule during the I report period. I I 2-29
I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 11 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 11 Summary: The identification of cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 m the shoreline stream sediment near the main outfall facility is not unusual because the plant discharges these radionuclides in liquid effluent releases. The analyses are consistent with II discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the ODCM.

Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I a. Program I Feedstuff: Although not required by the ODCM, representative samples of feedstuff (cattle feed) are collected monthly from the nearest dairy farm (Brunton Dairy) and I analyzed by gamma spectrometry. See Figure 2-6. Foodcrops (leafy vegetables): Foodcrops are collected at garden locations during the I growing season. Leafy vegetables (e.g. cabbage) are obtained from Shippingport, Raccoon, Georgetown, and Industry, Pennsylvania. Samples are obtained from two I (2) additional locations based upon the highest predicted annual average ground D/Q when milk locations are unavailable. Samples are also obtained from the control location in Weirton, West Virginia. All samples are analyzed for gamma emitters by I gamma spectrometry. Samples are also analyzed by radiochemical analysis for iodine- I 31. I b. Procedures I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Foodcrops: Analysis is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system. A high-resolution I germanium detector is utilized with this system. Samples of feedstuff and foodcrops are loaded into tare weight 150 or 300 mL plastic bottles or I-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning I for gamma emitters. Gamma Emitter Analysis of Feedstuff: Although not required by the ODCM, analysis I is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system. A high-resolution germanium detector is utilized with this system. Samples I of feedstuff and foodcrops are loaded into tare weight 150 or 300 mL plastic bottles or 1-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning for gamma emitters. I Iodine-131 Analysis of Foodcrops: Analysis is performed by radiochemistry. A I stable iodide carrier is added to a chopped sample, which is then leached with a sodium hydroxide solution, evaporated to dryness and fused in a muffle furnace. The melt is dissolved in water, filtered and then treated with sodium hypochlorite. The I iodate is then reduced to iodine with hydroxylarnine hydrochloride and is extracted with toluene.

Monitoring of Local Cow and Goat Milk I 1. Description - Milch Animal Locations I Samples of fresh milk are obtained from milch animals at locations and frequencies noted in Table 2-1 . The milk is analyzed for its radioiodine content, gamma emitters, I strontium-89 and strontium-90. Detailed field surveys are performed during the grazing season to locate and enumerate I milch animals within a five (5) mile radius of the site. Survey data for the most recent survey conducted is shown in Section 3, Land Use Census. I 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program Cow milk was collected from the one (1) reference dairy farm within a IO-mile radius of the BVPS, Brunton Dairy Farm (6.076 miles southeast) and one (1) control location dairy farm outside of the 10-mile radius, Windsheimer Dairy Farm (10.475 I miles south-southwest).
Dairy cow sampling is performed at Brunton Dairy since 2016, due to the closure of Halstead Dairy and Searight Dairy in 2014. Additionally, one goat location was available for sampling and samples were obtained at the Covert Residence (2.131 miles southwest). The dairies are subject to change based upon availability of milk or when more recent data (milch animal census, and/or change in meteorological conditions) indicate other locations are more appropriate. The milk samples are collected and analyzed biweekly when the animals are on pasture and monthly at other times. The monthly and/or biweekly sample is analyzed for principle gamma emitters (including cesium-13 7 by high resolution germanium gamma spectrometry), and iodine-131 high sensitivity analysis. Although not I required by the ODCM, the monthly and/or biweekly sample is also analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90. I The location of each is shown in Figure 2-8 and described below. I I 2-39

- b. Procedure I Iodine-131 Analysis of Milk: The milk samples are chemically prepared, and then analyzed with a low-level beta counting system.
I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Milk: This is determined by gamma spectrometry I analysis of a 1 liter Marinelli container of milk. Strontium-90 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the milk I samples are prepared by adding a stable strontium carrier and evaporating to dryness, then ashing in a muffle furnace, followed by precipitating phosphates. Strontium is I purified in all samples by the Argonne method using 3 grams of extraction material in a chromatographic column. Stable yttrium carrier is added, and the sample is allowed to stand for a minimum of 5 days for the in-growth of yttrium-90 (Y-90). Yttrium is I then precipitated as hydroxide dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is counted in a low-level beta counter to I infer strontium-90 activity. Strontium-89 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the strontiurn-I 89 activity is determined by precipitating strontium carbonate (SrC03) from the sample after yttrium separation. This precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is covered with an 80 mg/cm2 aluminum absorber for low level beta counting. I Chemical yields of strontium and yttrium are determined by gravimetric means. I 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A I trend graph of iodine-131 and strontium-90 analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-9. I a. Strontium-89: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for strontium-89 during the report period. Strontium-89 was I not detected in any of the forty-two (42) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the twenty-one (21) control samples. I b. Strontiurn-90: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for strontium-90 during the report period. Strontium-90 was I detected in fourteen of forty-two (14 of 42) indicator samples and sixteen of twenty-I I 2-41
Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 11 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I one (16 of 21) control samples. The levels detected were attributed to previous nuclear weapons tests and are within the expected range. I
- c. Gamma Spectrometry: A total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was present in thirty-two of forty-two (32 of 42) indicator samples and twenty-one of I
twenty-one (21 of 21) control samples. No other gamma-emitting radionuclides were identified during analysis. I
- d. Iodine-131: A total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for iodine-131 during the report period. Iodine-131 was not detected in any of the forty-two (42)
I indicator samples, but was it detected in one of twenty-one (21) control samples. This anomaly was under the reportable limit and was documented for trending. I
- e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis: There were two deviations from the required milk sampling and analysis schedule occurred for the reporting period.
I Sufficient milk samples were not available from locations within the 5 mile radius in I 2017. The unavailability of milk caused the REMP to not meet the ODCM sample requirements in l/2-0DC-2.03 and in l/2-0DC-3.03, Attachment Q Table 3.12-1 stating that a minimum of four (4) milk locations shall be sampled. This initiated the I ODCM requirement for sampling two (2) additional garden locations based upon the highest predicted annual average D/Q when milk locations are not available. I During the sampling period, 07/09/2017 - 07/15/201 7, REMP milk (goat) sampling location at the Covert' s Residence in Hookstown, PA (Site No. 114, 2.131 miles SW) I was unavailable. The owner and goats were out of town during the sampling period. (Notification 601078879, Line 6) I
- f. Summary: Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational I
levels, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase m radioactivity in the milk during the report period compared to previous years. I I I I 2-42 I

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring I 1. Description of Regional Background Radiation and Sources I Historical information for regional background was obtained from Reuter-Stokes instruments that were previously located within a five (5) mile radius of the BVPS site. I Data is no longer available from these instruments, but historical data indicated that the background exposure rates ranged from 6 µR/hr to 12 µR/hr. I The sources of background radiation are affected by the terrain in the vicinity of BVPS, whereas, the local hills (i.e. altitude variations of 300-400 feet) and densely wooded areas I contribute to variations in background radiation. Other sources (e.g. radon) are affected by the geological features of the region, which are characterized by nearly flat-laying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania age. For information, the local sedimentary beds I of limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits partially cover the older sedimentary deposits in the I northwest. Most of the region is underlain by shale, sandstone, and some coal beds of the Conemaugh Formation. Outcrops of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Allegheny Formation exist within the Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams. I 2. Locations and Analytical Procedures I Ambient external radiation levels around the site were measured using TLDs. I During the report period, there were a total of sixty-six (66) environmental TLD locations. This is comprised of forty-four (44) offsite locations, along with twenty-two I (22) fence perimeter locations. The offsite TLD locations are plotted on Figure 2-10, but the fence perimeter locations are not plotted due to the large scale of the figure. I The TLDs were annealed at the Contractor Central Laboratory shortly before placing the TLDs in their field locations. The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the I Central Laboratory, the field location, and the Central Laboratory was corrected by transit controls maintained in lead shields at both the Central Laboratory and the field office. All dosimeters were exposed in the field for a calendar quarter, in a specific I holder that contains two (2) TLDs at each location. I I I 2-45
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2- ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
- 3. Results and Conclusions I
A summary of the TLD results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend I graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-11. I TLD Analysis: During the report period, the average quarterly external exposure rate (as measured from TLD) was 18.9 mR at the sixty-six (66) indicator locations, and 19.5 mR I at the control location. This external exposure rate is comparable to previous years. As expected, there was some variation in external exposure rate among locations and seasons. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There was one deviation from the required direct radiation monitoring schedule during the report period. On Thursday January 5, 2017, the REMP technician was performing the scheduled quarterly TLD changeout. During the work, it was noticed that Station #94 (McCleary Road & Pole Cat Hollow Rd, 2.37 miles SSW) was missing both of its two TLDs for the 4th quarter for 2016. The TLDs have been replaced at this location for 1st quarter collection (CR-2017-04706). I Summary: The quarterly TLD external exposure rates are comparable to that of the previous decade. There was no evidence ,of anomalies that could be attributed to the I operation of BVPS. It should also be noted that the average external exposure rate at the indicator locations was less than average external exposure rate at the control location. Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational levels, the I operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in external exposure in the vicinity of the site during the report period. The TLD exposure rates also confirm that I changes from natural radiation levels, if any, are negligible. I I I I I 2-46 I

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM H. Monitoring of Surface Water, Drinking Water, Groundwater, and Precipitation I 1. Description of Water Sources I The Ohio River is the main body of water in the area and is the main surface water supply for drinking water in the area. The Beaver Valley Power Station obtains water I from the Ohio River for plant make-up water and discharges water to the Ohio River via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge points (e.g. cooling tower blowdown, liquid effluent releases, etc.). I The Ohio River is the main surface water supply source for towns, municipalities, and I industries both upstream and downstream of the BVPS site. The nearest user of the Ohio River as a potable water source is Midland Borough Municipal Water Authority. The intake of the treatment plant is approximately 1.5 miles downstream of the Midland I Borough Municipal Water Authority and is located on the opposite side of the river. The next downstream user is East Liverpool, Ohio and is approximately 6 miles downstream. I The heavy industries in Midland, as well as other users downstream, also use river water for cooling purposes. I Groundwater occurs in large volumes in the gravel terraces which lie along the river, and diminishes considerably in the bedrock underlying the site. Normal well yields in the I bedrock are less than ten (10) gallons per minute (gpm) with occasional wells yielding up to 60 gpm. I In general, the BVPS site experiences cool winters and moderately warm summers with ample annual precipitation evenly distributed throughout the year. The National Climate I Data Center indicated the total annual precipitation during the report period for the Beaver Falls, PA area was 37.2 inches. I 2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques I a. Surface (Raw River) Water The sampling program of river water included three (3) sampling points along the I Ohio River for most of 2016. In December 2016, one of the locations closed in which the program now includes two (2) sampling points. I Furthermore, Site No. 2.1 , Sector 14, Midland - ATI Allegheny Ludlum, the downstream sample, is no longer a viable sample location. ATI permanently closed I the Midland facility in 2016. As of December 2016, surface water samples were no I 2-53
Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENT AL MONITORING PROGRAM I longer available. Site No. 5, Sector 14, East Liverpool Water Department was an additional downstream sample location in which grab samples were taken. The East Liverpool site was transitioned to a composite sample location thus replacing A TI I Allegheny Ludlum. Raw water samples were collected daily at the Water Treatment Plant in East I Liverpool, OH, sample location 5, [River Mile 41.2], and then made into a weekly composite sample. Now the water sample is collected with a composite water I sampler. .The automatic sampler takes a 20-40 mL sample every 15 minutes and samples are collected on a weekly basis. The weekly samples are then combined for a monthly composite sample for each location. The monthly composite samples are I analyzed for gamma emitters. In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared from the monthly composites for each sample point. Quarterly composites are I analyzed for hydrogen-3 (tritium).

- b. Drinking Water (Public Supplies)
I Drinking water (i.e. treated water) is collected at both the Water Treatment Plant in Midland, PA, sample location 4, and the Water Treatment Plant in East Liverpool, OH, sample location 5. An automatic sampler at each location collects 20-40 mL I every 20 minutes, which is then combined for a weekly composite sample. The weekly composite sample from each location is analyzed for iodine-131. Monthly I composites are prepared from the weekly samples and are analyzed by gamma spectrometry. In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared for each sample 11 point from the monthly composites. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium. A weekly grab sample is taken upstream of the Montgomery Dam, sample location 49A [River Mile 29.6]. This upstream sample at the Montgomery Dam is the control I sample.

Groundwater I For historical information, groundwater was collected semiannually by grab samples at locations within four (4) miles of the site (see Figure 2-14), one (1) well in Hookstown, PA and one (1) well in Georgetown, PA. Each ground water sample was I analyzed for tritium and is analyzed by gamma spectrometry. I d. Precipitation For historical information, prec1p1tation was collected in Shippingport, PA, East I Liverpool, OH, and Weirton, WV. Precipitation, when available, was collected each week and combined for quarterly composite samples from the weekly samples. The I quarterly composites were analyzed for tritium and gamma emitters.
- e. Procedures I Gamma Analysis of Drinking Water and Surface Water: The analysis is performed by I placing one liter of the sample into a Marinelli container and analyzing on a high-resolution germanium gamma spectrometry system. Although not required by the ODCM, this analysis is also performed on groundwater and precipitation samples.
I Tritium Analysis of Drinking Water and Surface Water: The tritium is determined in I water samples by liquid scintillation analysis. Although not required by the ODCM, this analysis is also performed on surface water, groundwater and precipitation samples. I Iodine-131 Analysis of Drinking Water: The sample is chemically prepared and I analyzed with a low-level beta counting system. Although not required by the ODCM, this analysis is also performed on surface water samples. I I I I 2-55

- 3. Results and Conclusions I
A summary of the analysis results of water samples (surface water, drinking water, I ground water, and precipitation) during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown in Figures 2-15 through 2-18. I
- a. Surface Water I
Tritium: A total of eight (8) surface water samples were analyzed for tritium during the report period. Tritium was not detected in the four (4) indicator samples, nor was I it detected in the four (4) control samples. I Gamma Spectrometry: A total of twenty-four (24) surface water samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting radionuclides were not detected in the twelve (12) indicator samples, nor were they I detected in the twelve (12) control samples. I Iodine-131: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of twenty-six (26) surface water control samples were analyzed for iodine-131 using radiochemical methods during the report period. Iodine-131 was detected in three of twenty-six (3 of 26) I weekly control samples, of which zero (0) analysis exceeded the reporting level of 2 picocurie / liter. The results were similar to previous years, (current annual range = I 0.3 to 1.3 picocurie / liter). The positive results were detected at the control location, which is five (5) miles upstream (not influenced by BVPS operation). Identification of iodine-131 during the report period was most likely due to medical diagnostic and I treatment procedures performed at upstream facilities . I
- b. Drinking Water Tritium: A total of twelve (12) drinking water samples were analyzed for tritium I
during the report period. Tritium was not detected in the eight (8) indicator samples and was not detected in any of the four (4) control samples. I Gamma Spectrometry: A total of thirty-six (36) drinking water samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Gamma emitting I radionuclides were not detected in any of the twenty-four (24) indicator samples, nor were they detected in any of the twelve (12) control samples. I I 2-56 I
I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM Iodine-131: A total of fifty ( 50) drinking water samples were analyzed for iodine-131 I (using radiochemical methods) during the report period. Iodine-131 was detected in one of fifty ( 1 of 50) indicator samples and three of twenty-six (3 of 26) surface water control samples. There was one positive result at the downstream location that was I similar to the positive results from the upstream surface water control location, and none of these analyses exceeded the reporting level of 2 picocurie / liter. Because I positive results were detected in the upstream control sample, some positive results are most likely due to medical diagnostic and treatment procedures performed at upstream facilities, and not caused by BVPS operations. I c. Groundwater I Since these samples are not required, they will no longer be collected as of 201 7.
- d. Precipitation I Since these samples are not required, they will no longer be collected as of 2017.
I e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There was one deviation from the ODCM required water sampling and analysis schedule during the report. I During the sampling period of 09/05/17-09/12/17, REMP Drinking water sampling station at Midland Water Department in Midland (Site No. 4, 1.26 miles NW) was I found to be out of service. The cause was the timing component that triggers the sample collection. No sample was lost because the trigger failed open causing the collection container to overflow. The component was replaced, and the water sampler I was returned to service. The sample station was out of service for approximately 4 hours while performing maintenance as reported by the REMP technician (CR-2017-I 09446).
- f. Summary: Data from the water sample analyses demonstrate that BVPS did not I contribute a significant increase of radioactivity in the local river, in the drinking water, in the well water, or in the precipitation. The analytical results confirm that I the station assessments, prior to authorizing radioactive discharges, are adequate and that the environmental monitoring program is sufficiently sensitive.

I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I. Estimates of Radiation Dose to Man 11 1. Pathways to Man - Calculation Models I The radiation doses to man as a result of BVPS operations were calculated for both gaseous and liquid effluent pathways using computer codes for the ARERAS/MIDAS computer system. These computer codes are equivalent to NRC computer codes I XOQDOQ2, GASPAR, and LADTAP. Dose factors listed in the ODCM are used to calculate doses from radioactive noble gases in discharge plumes. BVPS effluent data, I based on sample analysis were used as the radionuclide activity input. All liquid and gaseous effluent radionuclides listed in the Annual Radioactive Effluent I Release Report were used as input source terms to the computer codes. All batch and continuous gaseous effluent releases were included in the dose assessment I calculations. The release activities are based on laboratory analysis. Meteorological data collected by the BVPS Meteorology System was also used as input to the computer I codes. The usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements or Regulatory Guide 1.109, except when more recent or specific data was available. I All radioactive liquid effluents are released by batch mode after analysis by gamma spectrometry. Each batch is diluted by cooling tower blowdown water prior to discharge into the Ohio River via the main outfall [River Mile 35.0]. The actual data from these I analyses are tabulated and used as the radionuclide source term input to the computer code. The usage factors were obtained from the BVPS Final Environmental Statements I or Regulatory Guide 1.109, except when more recent or specific data was available. The total population doses were evaluated for all liquid and gaseous effluent pathways up I to 50 miles. For these evaluations, a total population of approximately 4 million people was used. An estimate of the populations are listed in the BVPS-2 UFSAR Section I 2.1.3.1 for 0-10 miles and Section 2.1.3.2 for 10-50 miles.
- 2. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man - Liquid Effluent Releases I During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population within 50 miles of the plant is presented in Table 2-4 for BVPS liquid effluent releases. Also shown in the I Table 2-6 is a comparison to natural radiation exposure.

- 3. Results of Calculated Population Dose to Man - Gaseous Effluent Releases During the report period, the calculated dose to the entire population within 50 miles of I the plant is presented in Table 2-5 for BVPS airborne effluent releases. Also shown in the Table 2-6 is a comparison to natural radiation exposure. The doses include the contribution of all pathways.
I
- 4. Conclusions I Based upon the estimated dose to individuals from the natural background radiation exposure in Tables 2-4 and 2-5 , the incremental increase in total body dose to the 50-mile I population from the operation of BVPS - Unit 1 and 2, is 0.00000403% of the annual radiation exposure. I The calculated doses to the public from the operation of BVPS - Unit 1 and 2, are below ODCM annual limits and resulted in only a small incremental dose to that which area residents already received as a result of natural background. The doses constituted no I
meaningful risk to the public. I I I I I 2-62

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 3 - LAND USE CENSUS A. Land Use Census Overview: A Land Use Census was conducted June 1 through September 1, 2017 to comply with:
- Offsite Dose Calculation Manual procedure l/2-0DC-3.03, "Controls for RETS and REMP Programs ", Attachment R, Control 3.12.2, and Surveillance Requirement I 4.12.2.1
- BVPS REMP procedure 1/2-ENV-04.02, "Milch Animal Sampling Location I Determination & ODCM Procedure 1/2-0DC-3. 03, Control 3.12.2 Action Statements a and b Compliance Determination "
I The Land Use Census indicated that no changes were required in the current sampling locations, and no changes were required to the methodology used for determination of I offsite dose from plant releases. A numerical summary of the Land Use Census results are provided in Table 3-1. The following information is also provided to clarify the Land I Use Census as documented in letter NPD3NRE:1250, dated October 27, 2017: B. Nearest Residence: The location has not changed since the previous census. The nearest I inhabited residence is 209 Ferry Hill Road, Shippingport, PA (0.438 miles, east-northeast). I C. Nearest Garden >500 sq ft: The location has changed since the previous census. The closest garden location is now the Colaber Residence, 1201 Virginia Avenue, Midland, I PA (1.03 miles, northwest). The previous sampling location at the Cox Residence, 238 State Route 168, Hookstown, PA (0.76 miles, south-southwest) was available for I sampling cabbage this year but does not meet all the requirements of NUREG-1301 Ref (h), I D. Nearest Dairv Cow: The location has not changed since the previous census. The location remains at Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.076 miles, I southeast). E. Nearest Doe Goat: The location has not changed since the previous census. The closest I location is the Covert Residence, 930 Pine Street, Hookstown, PA (2.131 miles, southwest). I I 3-1 I
Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 3 - LAND USE CENSUS I F. Projection for 2017 Dairy Cow Sampling Locations: Using a linear regression analysis of deposition parameters (D/Q), Dairy Cow sampling locations were determined I to remain at the same locations used in 2017: Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.076 miles southeast) Windsheimer Dairy, 20 Windsheimer Lane, Burgettstown, PA (10.475 miles south-I southwest) I G. Projection for 201 7 Doe Goat Sampling Locations: The linear regression analysis also indicated that there will be a Doe Goat sampling location in 201 7. The Doe Goat sampling location for 2017 may be as follows if Goat Milk continues to be available from I this site: Covert Residence, 930 Pine Street, Hookstown PA (2.131 miles, southwest) I H. D/0 for Milch Animal Locations: None of the 2017 milch animal sampling locations experienced a >20% increase in D/Q. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM procedure l/2-0DC-3.03 , Attachment R, Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" was not I required. I I. D/0 for Offsite Dose Determination: There was no adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose I could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM methodology. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM Control 3.12.2 Action "a" I and/or Action "b" is not required. J. D/0 Historical Comparison: There is no adverse trend in D/Q when comparing 2003 to I 2017 data to the ODCM default D/Q values. This validates that there is no adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent I releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM methodology. Therefore, a change in ODCM receptor location and/or a I change to meteorology at the current ODCM receptor location are not required. I I I I 3-2 I

I
- BVPS provided split samples to PADEP throughout the report period. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of milk (1), surface water (3), sediment (1), fish (1), and food crops (2) .
I
- PADEP has co-located continuous air particulate & air iodine sample stations with four (4) I of the BVPS locations.
- PADEP has co-located TLDs with twenty-four (24) of the BVPS TLDs.
I B. Spike Sample Program (Inter-Laboratory Comparison, Part 2 of 2): BVPS participates in I a spike sample program with an Independent Laboratory. This program is used to independently verify sample analyses performed by the BVPS Contractor Laboratory. I
- Acceptance Criteria: The NRC criteria listed in NRC Inspection Procedure 84750, 03/ 15/94, Inspection Guidance 84750-03 is used as acceptance criteria for comparisons of I results of spiked samples between the Contractor Lab and the Independent Lab. These comparisons are performed by dividing the comparison standard (Independent Lab result) by its associated uncertainty to obtain the resolution. The comparison standard value is I
multiplied by the ratio values obtained from the following table to find the acceptance band for the result to be compared. However, in such cases in which the counting precision of I the standard yields a resolution of less than 4, a valid comparison is not practical, and therefore, not performed.

No new wells were installed, nor were any wells retired. MW-16 was sampled twelve (12) times throughout 2017, two (2) of which were included in the I yearly biannual sampling. These samples that were taken account for the highest concentrations. No adverse effect to the offsite environment has been detected at this time, because all offsite groundwater, drinking water and surface water samples were <440 pCi/L. See Enclosure 2, Page xvii for additional I details. Onsite Spills: There were no onsite spills > 100 gallons. I Decommissioning File Update: There were no items added to the site decommissioning files in accordance with 10CFR50.75(g). I Abnormal Liquid Releases: There were no abnormal liquid releases. Abnormal Gaseous Releases: There were two abnormal gaseous releases. I Liquid Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Liquid Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own ion-exchange vessels. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process I liquid waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit I or 2 high level liquid waste was processed (e.g., coolant recovery waste) it was performed at Unit 1, because it has a carbon pre-conditioning filter. I Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System: The site operated via a shared Gaseous Radwaste Treatment System, even though each Unit has its own charcoal delay beds and storage/decay tanks. Shared operation allowed either Unit to process gaseous waste at the Unit of origin, or at the other Unit. Typically, when Unit I I or 2 went to a shutdown condition, the gaseous waste was transferred for storage and decay at Unit 2, because Unit 2 has four (4) additional storage tanks. I I I I I I I I

Effluent Monitoring Channels Inoperable >30 Days:There were two (2) Effl uent Monitoring I Instrumentation Channels not returned to Operable status within 30 days. ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies: There were two (2) ODCM Surveillance Deficiencies. I ODCM Changes: There was one (1) changes made to the ODCM. Meteorological Data Recovery: The Meteorological Data Recovery met the minimum requirement of at-I least 90%, as specified in Section 5 of Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 1.23, Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants. I Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
The 0-50 mile total and average population doses were calculated using liquid and gaseous release quantities and real time meteorology. The average population dose is based on four (4) million people within 0-50 miles of the BVPS site. The following comparison to I natural background radiation demonstrates that BVPS operations did not adversely affect the surround ing environment. I 99.96 man-mrem =BVPS Total Population Dose for the year 0.0000250 mrem = BVPS Average Individual Dose for the year I 296 mrem = Natural Background Individual Dose for the year. This dose value is documented as natural background radiation exposure for an individual in a year from the 1990 BElR V Report. I Carbon-14 Dose Assessment: Carbon-1 4 dose was calcu lated using EPRI & RG-1 .109 calculation methods and the default ODCM receptor. The highest organ doses were to the bone (child). Details of the I dose assessment due to releases of Carbon-14 in gaseous effluents are provided in Attachment 3 of this report. I I I I I I

The recent decreases were due to efforts to reduce overall offsite dose. Specifically, discharging liquid radioactive inventory provided the benefit ofreduced total I offsite dose, due to reduction in evaporative losses from the fuel pools. The increase in Unit I tritium was due to the steam releases from the Forced Outage in November. I 11 I

No new wells were installed, nor were any wells retired . MW-16 was sampled twelve (12) times throughout 2017 , two (2) of which were included in I the yearly biannual sampling . These samples that were taken account for the highest concentrations . Sixteen (16) wells returned results of less than the pre-operational mean (440 pCi/L) during all sample periods in 2017. Seven (7) wells returned results >440 pCi/L, but <2000 pCi/l. One (1) well returned results >2000 pCi/L. No wells exceeded 20,000 pCi/L with the highest concentration recorded as 15,516 pCi/L. I The NEUFENOC communication level was reached for MW-12S & MW-12D during 2007. Notification to local, state & federal agencies was performed on 10/08/07. Additional communication for new well results was performed on 09/08/1 O for those new wells that exceeded 2000 pCi/L. The newly installed well MW-20D exceeded 2,000 pCi/L on its first sample, but this was expected since the well was installed to monitor the previously identified plume intercepting MW-16. No adverse effect to the I offsite environment has been detected at this time, because all offsite groundwater, drinking water and surface water samples were <440 pCi/l. Mitigation activities (catch basin sleeving) to prevent tritiated condensate water from reach ing the groundwater were completed 12/17/11 . Remediation well , EW-1, was installed and began operation in October 2013. This equipment captures the tritium plume and it I becomes a permitted discharge. Samples are taken monthly to provide the concentration of the discharge. Remediation will continue until the suspected plume is depleted and tritium levels stabilize. Principal Gamma Emmitter Summary I All onsite monitoring wells were sampled during the year, and analyzed for Principal Gamma Emitters. The results showed no positive indication of Licensed Radioactive Material (LRM) in any of the analyses.

I The dose commitment limits for 40 CFR 190 MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC (ODCM 1/2-0DC-3.03 Control 3.11.4.1) are as follows : a) <or= 25 mrem / calendar year (for the total body, or any organ except the thyroid) I b) < or= 75 mrem / calendar year (for the thyroid) (2) The dose contribution listed for the total body is for Direct Radiation . This was calculated by comparing offsite TLD exposure at the ODCM controlling location (0 .8 miles NW; Midland, PA) to TLD exposure at the I REMP control location (16 .5 miles SSW; Weirton , WV) . Compliance to 100 mrem Limit of 10 CFR 20.1301 For Total Effective Dose Equivalent I Pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1301(a)(1), the Tota l Effective Dose Equivalent from licensed operation to the maximum individual during the report period , is 5.06 mrem. This is a summation of Direct Radiation Exposure (calculated by comparing the maximum of all perimeter TLD exposures to TLD exposure at the REMP control location) plus Effluent Doses (calcu lated per the ODCM). I Members of the Public Doses Due To Their Activities Inside The Site Boundary I The radiation doses for MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC due to their activities inside the site boundary are not greater than the doses listed in this table to show compliance with 40 CFR Part 190 or 10 CFR 20.1301 . Evaluations have shown that exposure time for individuals not occupationally associated with the plant site is minimal in comparison to the exposure time considered I for the dose calculation at or beyond the site boundary. Therefore , a separate assessment of radiation doses from radioactive effluents to MEMBER(S) OF THE PUBLIC , due to their activities inside the site boundary , is not necessary for this report period. I 0-50 Mile Population Doses From Liquid and Gaseous Effluents 0-50 mile Total Population Dose from liquid and gaseous effluents= 99.96 man-mrem (Total Body) 0-50 mile Average Population Dose from liquid and gaseous effluents = 0.0000250 man-mrem (Total Body) I I I

- 1) Main Steam Cable Vault (Fire Sump) sample On 5/22/17 the main steam cable vault was discharged. Two independent samples were obtained by Radiation I
Protection and no isotopes were identified. However, the samples were discarded before Chemistry could analyze them for tritium . The discharge was documented and based on the tritium from the most recent sump discharge (reference CR-2017-07282) . I
- 2) Catch Basin (Yard Drain) Sample Catch Basin 17A, 1CB-17A, is sampled annually. During Q4 2017 , there was no flow observed at this location and no sample could be obtained. Th is location is the first sample point of the yard drains around Unit 1 and samples I
were obtained downstream of 1CB-17A and had no LRM detected . (reference CR-2018-00126)
- 3) Beaver Valley Representative Sampling I
It was determined that, due to incorrectly sized nozzles and variations the ventilation stack flows , the effluent monitor sampling skid does not provide representative sampling of particulate isotopes (especially of larger particle sizes) under all normally occurring ventilation conditions at all of Unit 1 pathways and Unit 2 Ventilation Vent and Condensate Polishing Building Vent pathways. This condition was identified and questioned during a Unit 1 sample I pump replacement in April 2017. Due to the limited amount of particu late that is released from the site, it does not significantly affect dose or dose rates to the pub lic, nor challenge any regulatory limits (reference CR-2017-04211 ).

RTL# A9 .690E Beaver Valley Power Station - Units 1 & 2 Enclosure 2, Attachment 3 Annual Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Repor1 Calendar Year - 2017 Attachment 3 I Unit 1 and 2 Carbon-14 (C-14) Dose Estimates Carbon-14 Methodology I Gaseous doses from carbon-14 were calculated in accordance with EPRI and Regulatory Guide 1.109 methodology. Other considerations were made in the calculations ; daylight hours and growing season . Liquid effluent release doses are considered to be insignificant and are not included in this report . This report does I not address the amount of carbon-14 disposed of in shipments of solid waste and irradiated fuel. The term "other" discussed below refers to liver, total body, thyroid , kidney , lung and GI. Doses for these organs are assumed to be equal.

SUMMARY
and INDEX I Report Overview: I The AREOR provides a detailed summary of the BVPS Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). During the report period, samples of air, water, shoreline sediment, milk, I fish, food crops, feed crops, vegetation, and direct radiation (in the vicinity of the BVPS site) have been measured, analyzed, evaluated, and summarized. During the report period, the BVPS radioactive effluent releases (as performed in accordance with the Radiological Effluent Technical Specification (RETS) program), did not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License, Technical Specifications and/or the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The results of REMP verify that the effluent releases did not impact the environment with a measurable concentration of radioactive materials and/or levels of radiation that are higher than expected. I Description of Pre-operational REMP (1974 - 1975): I A pre-operational REMP was performed during the period 1974 through 1975. At that time, samples were collected and analyzed to determine the amount of radioactivity present in the I environment prior to BVPS operation. The resulting values are considered a "baseline" to which current sample analyses can be compared. A summary of the pre-operational data is summarized I in Table 2-3 of this report. Description of Operational REMP (1976 - Present}: I The operational REMP was initiated during calendar year 1976 and continued through the report I period. During the past forty (40) years, radiation and radioactivity in the environment was monitored within a 10-mile radius of the site. A description of the operational REMP is outlined in Table 2-1 of this report. In general, two (2) types of samples were collected and compared I during the report period, and are described as follows:
- Control Samples: These samples are collected from areas that are beyond measurable I influence of BVPS operation, and are used as reference data. Normal background radiation levels, or radiation present due to causes other than BVPS operation, can thus be compared to I the environment surrounding the BVPS site. During the report period, three hundred four (304) analyses were performed on samples from the control locations. This includes eight (8) analyses were completed for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) at the control I locations. Results of the analyses from the control locations are summarized in Table 2-2 of this report.
I
- Indicator Samples: Indicator samples are collected to determine the radiological impact of BVPS operation in the environment. These samples are collected from various locations near I

SUMMARY
and INDEX the BVPS site. At a minimum, the samples are collected from areas where the BVPS I contribution would indicate the most significant radiological impact. During the report period, one thousand five hundred forty-nine (1,549) analyses were performed on samples I collected from eighty-seven (87) indicator locations. In addition, five hundred twenty (520) analyses were completed for TLDs at the indicator locations. Results of the analyses from the indicator locations are also summarized in Table 2-2 ohhis report. I
- Comparisons: Current analysis results from the indicator samples were compared to both I current control sample values and the pre-operational baseline to determine if changes in radioactivity levels were attributable to BVPS operation.
I Determination of Environmental Impact I
- 2017 Sample Media and Analyses: Results for drinking water, surface water, shoreline stream sediment, fish, cow milk, goat milk, feedstuff, foodcrops, air particulate and air radioiodine media remained consistent with previous data. Minor increases and decreases I
were noted in most sample media, and any positive results attributable to the BVPS operation were consistent with station data of authorized radioactive discharges, and were within limits I permitted by the operating license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical fluctuation for activities near the Lower Limit of I Detection (LLD).
- Airborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of I
airborne radioiodine and airborne particulates. The results during this report period were similar to previous years. There was no notable increase in natural products and no I detectable fission products or other radionuclides in the airborne particulate media during the year attributed to effluent releases from BVPS. I
- Direct Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via measurement of environmental radiation doses by use of Thermo Luminescent Dosimeters (TLDs). The I results of TLD processing have indicated a stable trend and compare well with previous years. I
- Ingestion Exposure Pathway: This ODCM required pathway was evaluated via sampling of milk, fish, and foodcrops (leafy vegetables). I For milk samples, strontium-90 (attributable to past atmospheric weapons testing), was detected at levels similar to those of previous years. The gamma spectrometry analyses I

SUMMARY
and INDEX indicated positive results for naturally occurring potassium-40 at average environmental levels. The fish samples indicated below LLD levels in each of the sample analyses. Foodcrop (leafy vegetation) samples indicated naturally occurring potassium-40 at average environmental levels. I
- Waterborne Exposure Pathway: This ODCM pathway was evaluated via samples of I drinking water, ground (well) water, surface (river) water and river sediment.
I Water samples were analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Tritium was not identified in any of these water samples. Iodine-131 analysis of drinking water indicated positive analyses, but the values were consistent with iodine-131 at the upstream surface I (river) water control location, and was not due to liquid effluent releases from BVPS. Sediment samples were collected from upstream of the site, at the discharge point of BVPS I liquid effluent releases, and downstream of the site. Analysis of samples indicated naturally occurring radionuclides potassium-40, thallium-208, bismuth-214, lead-212, lead-214, I radium-226, and actinium-228 in all results. The analyses also indicated cesium-137, but the values were consistent with cesium-137 at the control location, and most likely caused by previous nuclear weapons tests. Cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 were identified in some of the I samples that were obtained at the shorelines of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. This is not unusual because the BVPS site discharges cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 in liquid waste effluents. I The activity detected at these sample locations is consistent with discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release concentration limits set forth in the ODCM. I
- Other Exposure Pathways: In addition to the samples collected from the exposure I pathways described above, other media (i.e., feedstuff) were also collected. Results were consistent with previous years, with no degrading trends.
I
- Offsite Groundwater Monitoring (Historical): There were a total of four (4) offsite groundwater samples collected and analyzed for tritium and by gamma spectrometry. The samples were collected on a semi-annual basis from two (2) locations within four (4) miles of I the site. The locations included one ( 1) well in Hookstown, PA; and one (1) well in Georgetown, PA. No gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in the analyses. All I tritium results were less than the pre-operational value.

SUMMARY
and INDEX
- Supplemental Sample Sites: REMP includes supplemental sampling sites in addition to the I
required sites set forth in the ODCM. The supplemental sites include three (3 ) air sampling sites, one (1) sediment site, one (1) milk animal feedstuff site, and five (5) soil sampling I sites.
- Population Dose vs. Natural
Background:
During the report period, the total calculated 0-I 50 mile population dose was 61 man-mrem (liquid releases), and 39 man-mrem (gaseous releases). The average individual population dose from BVPS operation was less than <1 I mrem. Accordingly, the typical dose to an individual from background (natural radiation exposure including radon) was estimated as an average of 296 mrem per year according to the National Academy of Sciences 1990 BEIR Report. In 2009, the NCRP Report No. 160:
"Ionizing Radiation Exposure of the Population of the United States," Journal of Radiological Protection J Radio/. Prat. 29.3 (2009) defined the radiation exposure population dose to be 620 mrem per year. The following graph in Figure i-1 illustrates that the average individual population dose was not affected from BVPS operation.

SUMMARY
and INDEX I
- Summary: During the report period, radioactive effluent releases from the BVPS site did I not exceed the limits identified in the BVPS Operating License, Technical Specifications and/or the ODCM. The BVPS operational REMP program was followed throughout the report period. The results demonstrate the adequacy of radioactive effluent control at BVPS, I and that BVPS operation did not adversely affect the surrounding environment. Positive results were attributable to BVPS operation and were consistent with station data of I authorized radioactive discharges within limits permitted by the NRC license and the ODCM. Other radioactivity detected was attributable to naturally occurring radionuclides, previous nuclear weapons tests, other man-made sources, and to the normal statistical I fluctuation for activities near the LLD.
Inter-laboratory Comparison Programs: I
- Split Sample Program: BVPS shared split samples with the Pennsylvania Department of I Environmental Protection (P ADEP) in support of their nuclear power plant monitoring program. The shared media and number of locations were typically comprised of milk (2),
surface water (3), river sediment (1), fish (1), foodcrops (2), co-located air particulate/air I iodine (4), and TLD (24). The split sample program was coordinated by the state, and the results are not provided with this report. I
- Spike Sample Program: Spiked samples were provided by an independent laboratory and then analyzed by the REMP contractor laboratory. The samples were provided throughout I the report period and included water samples, milk samples, filter paper samples and charcoal cartridge samples. All one hundred eight (108) analyses performed by the contactor I laboratory on the spiked samples met the NRC comparison criteria.
Special Reports: I
- Since no reporting levels were exceeded during 2017, no Special Reports were required. A I Special Report shall be submitted to the NRC when (1) levels of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeds the limits specified in ODCM procedure l /2-0DC-3.03 , Attachment Q Table 3.12-2, and when (2) the results of the following calculation are I ~ 1.0 (for calculations performed when more than one radionuclide is detected in the sampling medium):

SUMMARY
and INDEX Land Use Census Results: I Highlights from the most recent Land Use Census are documented in letter NPD3NRE: 1250, dated October 23 , 2017 and are summarized as follows: I
- Nearest Residence (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous I census. The nearest inhabited residence is 209 Ferry Hill Road, Shippingport, PA (0.4 miles, east).
I
- Nearest Garden >500 sgft: The location has not changed since the previous census. The closest garden location is the Colaber Residence, 1201 Virginia Avenue, Midland, PA 11 (1.033 miles, northwest). The Cox Residence, 238 State Route 168, Hookstown, PA (0.760 miles, south-southwest) was available for sampling cabbage this year but does not meet all the requirements of NUREG-1301.
I
- Nearest Dairy Cow (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous census. The location remains at Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, I
PA (6.067 miles, southeast). 11
- Nearest Doe Goat (0 to 5 mile radius): The location has not changed since the previous census. The closest location is the Covert Residence, 930 Pine Street (Route 168),
Hookstown, PA (2.131 miles, southwest). I
- Prevailing Winds: The prevailing wind direction for ground releases was identified by I showing the highest deposition parameters (D/Q) in the east (E) sector. The prevailing wind direction for elevated releases was identified by showing the highest D/Q in the east-southeast (ESE) sector. The REMP properly monitors the environment with air I
particulate sampling stations in some sectors and direct radiation TLDs in all sectors. I
- 2017 Dairy Cow & Doe Goat Sampling Locations: The dairy cow sampling locations have not changed in 2017. The locations remain at Brunton Dairy, 3681 Ridge Road, Aliquippa, PA (6.067 miles, southeast), and Windsheimer Dairy, 20 Windsheimer Lane, I
Burgettstown, PA (10.475 miles, south-southwest). The doe goat sampling location has not changed since the previous census and remains at the Covert Residence, 930 Pine I Street (Route 168), Hookstown, PA (2.131 miles, southwest).
- D/0 for Milch Animal Locations: The 2017 milch animal sampling locations have not I
experienced a >20% increase in D/Q. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" is not required. I I Vlll I
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
and INDEX I
- D/0 for Offsite Dose Determination: There is no adverse effect on the current ODCM I methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously calculated using current ODCM I methodology. Therefore, a Special Report per ODCM Control 3.12.2 Action "a" and/or Action "b" is not required.
I
- D/0 Historical Trend Comparison: There is no adverse trend in D/Q when comparing 2003 to 2017 data to the ODCM default D/Q values. This validates that there is no I adverse effect on the current ODCM methodology used for offsite dose determination from effluent releases. Specifically, the analysis of D/Q did not yield any valid locations where the offsite dose could have increased >20% of the offsite dose previously I calculated using current ODCM methodology. Therefore, a change in ODCM Receptor location and/or a change to meteorology at the current ODCM Receptor location is not I required.
The 2017 Land Use Census results indicate that no significant changes are required in the current I Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program or to its methodology. I Deviations, Changes and Adjustments to the Normal Sampling Program
- Deviation from Normal Milk Sampling & Analysis Schedule: There were two deviations I from the required milk sampling and analysis schedule occurred for the reporting period.
Sufficient milk samples were not available from locations within the 5 mile radius in 2017. I The unavailability of milk caused the REMP to not meet the ODCM sample requirements in l/2-0DC-2.03 and in l/2-0DC-3.03 , Attachment Q Table 3.12-1 stating that a minimum of four (4) milk locations shall be sampled. This initiated the ODCM requirement for sampling I two (2) additional garden locations based upon the highest predicted annual average D/Q when milk locations are not available. The other issue was documented through internal notification because it regarded a supplemental sample. I
- Deviation from Normal Surface and Drinking Water Sampling and Analysis Schedule:
I There was one deviation from the ODCM required water sampling and analysis schedule during the report. The one issue was documented in Condition Report 2017-09446. I I I I lX

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION A. Radiation Fundamentals I Radiation is the conveyance of energy through space. For example, heat emanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. All matter I consists of atoms, which are comprised of positively charged particles (protons), negatively charged particles (electrons), and non-charged/neutral particles (neutrons). The relatively I large particles (protons and neutrons) are packed tightly together in a cluster at the center of the atom called the nucleus, while the smaller particles (electrons) orbit around the nucleus. In an electrically neutral atom, the negative charges of the electrons are balanced by the I positive charges of the protons. Due to their dissimilar charges, the protons and electrons have a strong attraction for each other. This holds the atom together. Other attractive forces I between the protons and neutrons keep the densely packed protons from repelling each other, and prevent the nucleus from breaking apart. I B. Radiation and Radioactivity The following provides an alphabetical glossary of terms associated with radiation, I radioactivity, and the radioactive decay process. The terms discussed include alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, genetic effects, half-life, ionization, isotopes, neutrons, radiation, I radioactive decay, radionuclides and somatic effects. Alpha Particles: Particulate and electromagnetic radiation each travel through matter I differently because of their different properties. Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons, are relatively large, and carry an electrical charge of +2. Alpha particles are I ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive atom at speeds ranging from 2,000 to 20,000 miles per second. However, due to its comparatively large size, an alpha particle usually does not travel very far before it loses most of its energy through collisions and interactions with other I atoms. As a result, a sheet of paper or a few centimeters of air can easily stop alpha particles. Beta Particles: Beta particles are very small, and comparatively fast particles, traveling at speeds near the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). Beta particles have an electrical charge of either + 1 or -1. Because they are so small and have a low charge, they do not I collide and interact as often as alpha particles, so they can travel farther. Beta particles can usually travel through several meters in air, but may be stopped by a thin piece of metal or I wood. I I I 1- 1
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION Gamma Rays: Gamma rays are pure energy and travel at the speed of light. They have no measurable charge or mass and generally travel much farther than alpha or beta particles before being absorbed. After repeated interactions, the gamma ray loses its energy and vanishes. The range of a gamma ray in air varies, depending on the ray's energy and interactions. Very high-energy gamma radiation can travel a considerable distance, where as I low energy gamma radiation may travel only a few feet in air. Lead is used as shielding material for gamma radiation because of its density. Several inches of lead or concrete may be needed to effectively shield gamma rays. I Genetic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation which are observed in the offspring of the I exposed individual that could occur as a result of ionizing radiation interacting with the genes in the human cells. I Half-life: The length of time an atom remains radioactive is defined in terms of half-life, which is the amount of time required for a radioactive substance to lose half of its activity I through the process of radioactive decay. Radionuclides that have infrequent emissions have a long half-life, where as, radionuclides that have more frequent emissions have a short half-life. I Ionization: Through interactions with atoms, alpha, beta, and gamma radiation lose their I energy. When these forms of radiation interact with any form of material, the energy they impart may cause atoms in that material to become ions, or charged particles. Normally, an atom has the same number of protons as electrons, thus, the number of positive and negative I charges cancel, in which the atom is electrically neutral. When one or more electrons are removed, an ion is formed. Ionization is one of the processes that may result in damage to I biological systems. Isotopes: A group of identical atoms containing the same number of protons make up an I element. In fact, the number of protons an atom contains determines its chemical identity. For instance, all atoms with one proton are hydrogen atoms, and all atoms with eight protons are oxygen atoms. However, the number of neutrons in the nucleus of an element may vary. I Atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Different isotopes of the same element have the same chemical properties, and I many are stable or non-radioactive. An unstable or radioactive isotope of an element is called a radioisotope, a radioactive atom, or a radionuclide. Radionuclides usually contain an excess amount of energy in the nucleus. The excess energy is usually due to a surplus or I deficit in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. Radionuclides such as uranium-238, beryllium-7 and potassium-40 occur naturally. Others are man-made, such as iodine-131 , I cesium-137, and cobalt-60. I 1-2 I
I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Neutrons: Neutrons come from several sources, including the interactions of cosmic radiation with the earth's atmosphere and nuclear reactions within operating nuclear power reactors. However, neutrons are not of environmental concern since the neutron source at nuclear power stations is sealed within the containment building. Because neutrons have no charge, they are able to pass very close to the nuclei of the material through which they are I traveling. As a result, neutrons may be captured by one of these nuclei or they may be deflected. When deflected, the neutron loses some of its energy. After a series of these I deflections, the neutron has lost most of its energy. At this point, the neutron moves about as slow as the atoms of the material through which it is traveling, and is called a thermal neutron. In comparison, fast neutrons are much more energetic than thermal neutrons and have greater potential for causing damage to the material through which they travel. Fast neutrons can have from 200 thousand to 200 million times the energy of thermal neutrons. I Neutron shielding is designed to slow fast neutrons and absorb thermal neutrons. Neutron shielding materials commonly used to slow neutrons down are water or polyethylene. The shield is then completed with a material such as cadmium, to absorb the now thermal I neutrons. Concrete is also used to form an effective neutron shield because it contains water molecules and can be easily molded around odd shapes. I Radiation: This is the conveyance of energy through space. For instance, heat emanating from a stove is a form of radiation, as are light rays, microwaves, and radio waves. Ionizing I radiation is another type of radiation and has similar properties to those of the examples listed above. Ionizing radiation consists of both electromagnetic radiation and particulate I radiation. Electromagnetic radiation is energy with no measurable mass that travels with a wave-like motion through space. Included in this category are gamma rays and x-rays. Particulate radiation consists of tiny, fast moving particles which, if unhindered, travel in a I straight line through space. The three types of particulate radiation of concern to us are alpha particles, which are made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons; beta particles, which are essentially free electrons; and neutrons. The properties of these types of radiation will be described more fully in the Range and Shielding section. I I 1-3
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Radioactive Decay: Radioactive atoms, over time, will reach a stable, non-radioactive state through a process known as radioactive decay, which is the release of energy from an atom I through the emission of ionizing radiation. Radioactive atoms may decay directly to a stable state or may go through a series of decay stages, called a radioactive decay series, and produce several daughter products that eventually result in a stable atom. The loss of I energy through radioactive decay may transform the atom into a chemically different element. For example, when uranium-238 decays, it emits an alpha particle and, as a result, I the atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Since the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its chemical identity, then when the uranium-238 atom loses the 2 protons and 2 neutrons, it is transformed into an atom of thorium-234. Thorium-234 is one of the 14 I successive daughter products of uranium-238. Radon is another daughter product, and the decay series ends with stable lead-206. The following example is part of a known I radioactive decay series, called the uranium series, which begins with uranium-238 and ends with lead-206. The information provided in the upper portion of each block is the isotope name, while the information provided in the lower portion of each block is the half-life.

I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I Somatic Effects: The effects of ionizing radiation develop in the directly exposed individual, including an unborn child. Somatic effects can be divided further into acute and chronic effects. Acute effects develop shortly after exposure to large amount of radiation. Chronic I effects are a result of exposure to radiation over an extended period of time. I C. Units of Measurement Activity (Curie): This relates the number of atoms in a sample that disintegrate (decay) per I unit of time. Each time an atom disintegrates, radiation is emitted. The curie (Ci) is the unit used to describe the activity of a material and indicates the rate at which the atoms of a I radioactive substance are decaying. One curie indicates the disintegration of 37 billion atoms per second. A curie is a unit of activity, not a quantity of material. Thus, the amount of material required to produce one curie varies. A smaller unit of the curie is used when I discussing the low concentrations of radioactivity detected in environmental samples. For instance, the picocurie (pCi) represents one trillionth of a curie. I Absorbed Dose (rad): This is a term used to describe the radiation energy absorbed by any material exposed to ionizing radiation, and can be used for both particulate and I electromagnetic radiation. The rad is the unit used to measure the absorbed dose. It is defined as the energy of ionizing radiation deposited per gram of absorbing material ( 1 rad = I 100 erg/g). The rate of absorbed dose is usually given in rad/hr. The rad is not used to quantify biological damage caused by ionizing radiation. I Dose Equivalent (rem): Biological damage due to alpha, beta, gamma and neutron radiation may result from ionizing radiation. Some types of radiation, especially alpha particles, cause I dense local ionization and can result in up to 20 times the amount of biological damage for the same energy imparted as do gamma or x-rays. Therefore, a quality factor must be applied to account for the different ionizing capabilities of various types of ionizing I radiation. When the quality factor is multiplied by the absorbed dose (rad) the result is the dose equivalent. Dose equivalent is an estimate of the possible biological damage resulting I from exposure to a particular type of ionizing radiation and is measured in rem. An example of this conversion from absorbed dose (rad) to dose equivalent (rem) uses the quality factor for alpha radiation, which is equal to 20. Thus, 1 rad of alpha radiation is equal to 20 rem. I Since beta and gamma radiation each have a quality factor of 1, then 1 rad of either beta or gamma radiation is equal to 1 rem. Neutrons have a quality factor ranging from 2 to 10. In I terms of radiation, the rem is a relatively large unit. Therefore, a smaller unit known as the rnillirem, is often used and one millirem (mrem) is equal to 1/1000 of a rem. I I 1-5
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I D. Lower Limit of Detection I The Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for environmental samples is a calculated value that represents an a-priori (before-the-fact) limit for the smallest concentration (i.e. ; pCi per unit mass or volume) of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% I probability, and with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. A calculated LLD must consider analytical variables such as standard deviation I of the background counting rate, counting efficiency, sample size, fractional radiochemical yield, radioactive decay constant, and elapsed time between sample collection and time of counting. I E. Scope and Objectives of REMP I The environmental program consists of environmental monitoring for radioactivity in the vicinity of BVPS. Environmental sampling and analyses include air, water, milk, vegetation, I river sediments, fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surrounding the site. The results of these media are assessed to determine impacts of the plant operation on the environment. I The AREOR for BVPS summarizes REMP conducted by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company during the report period. I F. Description of the Beaver Valley Site I BVPS is located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the Borough of Shippingport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on a 453 acre tract of land. The site is approximately one mile from Midland, Pennsylvania, five miles from East Liverpool, Ohio, and twenty-five miles from I Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Figure 1-1 shows the site location in relation to the principal population centers. Population density in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. I The population within a five mile radius of the plant is approximately 15,000. The only area within the radius of concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, Pennsylvania, with a population of approximately 2,539 as determined from the 2016 U.S. Census. I The site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. It extends from the river ( elevation 665 feet I above sea level) to a ridge along the border south of the Beaver Valley Power Station at a maximum elevation of 1160 feet. Plant grade level is approximately 735 feet above sea level. I BVPS is on the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is I 3 .1 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam, and 19 .6 miles upstream from I 1-6 I
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION I New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia border is located 5.2 river miles downstream from the site. The river flow is regulated by a series of dams and reservoirs on the Beaver, Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and their tributaries. I During the report period, the Ohio River flow (as obtained from the Corps of Engineers - Water Resources Engineering) at the New Cumberland Dam ranged from 6,904 cubic feet I per second (minimum monthly average) to 204,852 cubic feet per second (maximum monthly average). The mean flow during the report period was approximately 49,837 cubic feet per second. Water temperature of the Ohio River typically varies from 33° Fahrenheit to I 80° Fahrenheit. The minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures in July and/or August. Water quality in the Ohio River at the site location is I affected primarily by the water quality of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Beaver rivers. The climate of the area may be classified as humid continental. The predominant wind I direction is typically from the southwest in summer and from the west in winter. The National Climatic Data Center indicates the following data for the Beaver Falls, PA area: I The total annual precipitation during the report period was 37.20 inches. The average mean temperature during the report period was 60.8° Fahrenheit. I The basic features of the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 are tabulated below: Beaver Valley Unit 1 Beaver Valley Unit 2 I Licensed Power Level 2900 - megawatts thermal 2900 - megawatts thermal Type of Power PWR PWR I No. of Reactor Coolant Loops No. of Steam Generators & Type 3 3 - Vertical 3 3 - Vertical I Steam Used by Main Turbine Saturated Saturated The BVPS units utilize two separate systems (primary and secondary) for transferring heat I from the source (the reactor) to the receiving component (turbine-generator). Because the two systems are isolated from each other, primary and secondary waters do not mix, and I radioactivity in the primary system water is normally isolated from the secondary system. Reactor coolant in the primary system is pumped through the reactor core and steam generators by means of reactor coolant pumps. Heat is transferred from the primary system I to the secondary system in the steam generators. The steam is then formed and delivered to the main unit turbine, which drives the electrical generator. The steam is condensed after I passing through the turbine, and returned to the steam generators to begin another steam/water cycle. I I 1-7

Characterization of Air and Meteorology I The air near the site contains pollutants typical for an industrial area. generally from the southwest in summer and from the west in the winter. Air flow 1s I 2. Air Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I a. Program I The air is sampled for gaseous radioiodine and radioactive particulates at each of eight (8) offsite air sampling stations. The locations of these stations are listed in Table 2-1 and shown on a map in Figure 2-1. I Samples are collected at each of these stations by continuously drawing two cubic I feet per minute of atmosphere air through a glass fiber filter paper and a charcoal cartridge. The glass fiber filter paper is used for collection of airborne particulates, while the charcoal cartridge is used for collection of radioiodine. Samples are I collected on a weekly basis. I The charcoal cartridge is used in the weekly analysis of airborne iodine-131. The glass fiber filter papers are analyzed each week for gross beta, then composited by station each quarter for gamma spectrometry analysis. In order to reduce interference I from short-lived naturally occurring radioactivity (e.g. radon and thorium), the glass fiber filter papers are allowed to decay prior to performing beta analysis in a low background counting system. I
- b. Procedures I Gross Beta Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by placing the glass fiber filter paper from the weekly air sample in a 2-inch planchet followed by analysis in a I low background, gas flow proportional counter.
I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Filter Paper: Analysis is performed by stacking all of the glass fiber filter papers collected from each monitoring station during the quarter and scanning the composite on a high-resolution germanium gamma spectrometer. I Iodine-131 Analysis of Charcoal Cartridge: Analysis is performed by a gamma scan 11 of each charcoal cartridge. I I 2-23

- 3. Results and Conclusions I
A summary of data is presented in Table 2-2. I
- a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates I Gross Beta: A total of four hundred sixteen (416) weekly samples from eight (8) locations were analyzed for gross beta. The results were comparable to that of I previous years. Figure 2-2 indicates the weekly average concentration of gross beta in air particulates. I Gamma Spectrometry: A total of thirty-two (32) quarterly samples were composited from eight (8) locations and analyzed for gamma spectrometry. Naturally occurring I beryllium-7 was identified in twenty-eight of twenty-eight (28 of 28) indicator samples, and four of four (4 of 4) control samples. No other gammas were identified.
A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A I trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-2. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were two deviations from the required airborne particulate sampling and analysis schedule I during the report period. I During the sampling period of 04/10/17-04/17/17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine sampling station at Brunton's Dairy in Aliquippa (Site No. 27, 6.16 miles SE) was found to be out of service. The cause was a tripped breaker on the totalizer due to I thunderstorms over the weekend. The breaker was reset during the change out for the next week. The sample station was out of service for approximately 22 hours as I reported by the REMP technician. (CR-2017-04551) During the sampling period of 12/1/17-12/18/17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine I sampling station at Cook's Ferry Substation in Shippingport (Site No. 30, 0.5 miles ENE) was found to be out of service. The cause was a malfunctioning totalizer. The I components of the air station were replaced and returned to service. The sample station was out of service for approximately 70 hours as reported by the REMP technician. (CR-2017-08225) I During the sampling period of 07/31 /17-08/07 /17, REMP Air Particulate and Iodine I sampling station at Old Meyer Farm in Hookstown (Site No. 13, 1.49 miles SW) was found to be out of service. The cause was shattered carbon vanes. They were I 2-24 I
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM replaced, and components of the air station were restored and returned to service. The I sample station was out of service for approximately 83 hours as reported by the REMP technician. (CR-2017-12347) I Summary: Based on the analytical results, the operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in air particulate radioactivity during the report period. I b. Airborne Radioiodine I Iodine-131 : A total of four hundred sixteen (416) weekly charcoal filter samples were analyzed for iodine-131. Iodine-131 was not identified in any of the three hundred

- 1. Characterization of Shoreline Stream Sediment and Soil I
The stream sediment (river bottoms) consists largely of sand and silt. Soil samples may vary from sand and silt to a heavy clay with variable amounts of organic material. I
- 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I
- a. Program I Shoreline stream sediment was collected semi-annually above the Montgomery Dam, and near the BVPS outfall structure. A Ponar or Eckman dredge is used to collect the I sample. The sampling locations are also listed in Table 2-1 and are shown in Figure 2-3. I Although not required by the ODCM, soil samples were collected at each of the nine (9) locations in 2015 . In 2017, the locations were reduced from ten (10) to five (5), I as well as the sample frequency was revised from once per three years to once every five years. Soil was last sampled in 2015 and will be performed in 2020. At each location, twelve (12) core samples (3" diameter by 2" deep) are gathered at prescribed I
points on a 10 foot radius circle. Each location is permanently marked with reference pins. Each set of samples is systematically selected by moving along the radius in I such a manner as to assure representative undisturbed samples.

- 3. Results and Conclusions I A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is I shown on Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5.
I a. Shoreline Stream Sediment Gamma Spectrometry: A total of four (4) sediment samples were analyzed by gamma I spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring potassium-40, thallium-208, lead-212, lead-214, bismuth-214, radium-226 and actinum-228, were detected in I two of two (2 of 2) indicator samples and two of two (2 of2) control samples. Cesium-137: Radionuclide cesium-137 was identified in two of two (2 of 2) indicator I samples and two of two (2 of 2) control samples. The results were comparable to that of previous years (current annual range = 0.05 to 0.08 picocurie / gram) and less than I the pre-operational level of 0.4 picocurie / gram. Also, because cesium-13 7 was identified at the control location (upstream), then it was not due to plant effluent releases and is most likely residual contamination due from previous nuclear weapons I tests. I Cobalt-58: Radionuclide cobalt-58 was identified in one of two (1 of 2) indicator samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The sample, which indicated cobalt-58, was obtained at the shore line of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. The I result was comparable to the previous years (current annual range = LLD to O.14 picocurie / gram) and the data is slightly higher than the BVPS Main Outfall Facility I pre-operational level of 0.098 picocurie / gram. Cobalt-60: Radionuclide cobalt-60 was identified in two of two (2 of 2) indicator I samples and zero of two (0 of 2) control samples. The samples, which indicated cobalt-60, were obtained at the shore line of the BVPS Main Outfall Facility. The results were comparable to previous years (current annual range = 0 .12 to O.15 I picocurie / gram), and the data is currently lower than the BVPS Main Outfall Facility pre-operational level of 0.4 picocurie / gram. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There were no deviations from the required sediment sampling and analysis schedule during the I report period. I I 2-29
I Beaver Valley Power Station 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report RTL A9.690E Enclosure 3 11 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 11 Summary: The identification of cobalt-58 and cobalt-60 m the shoreline stream sediment near the main outfall facility is not unusual because the plant discharges these radionuclides in liquid effluent releases. The analyses are consistent with II discharge data of authorized liquid effluent releases, and all liquid effluent releases during the report period did not exceed the release limits set forth in the ODCM.

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM I 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques I a. Program I Feedstuff: Although not required by the ODCM, representative samples of feedstuff (cattle feed) are collected monthly from the nearest dairy farm (Brunton Dairy) and I analyzed by gamma spectrometry. See Figure 2-6. Foodcrops (leafy vegetables): Foodcrops are collected at garden locations during the I growing season. Leafy vegetables (e.g. cabbage) are obtained from Shippingport, Raccoon, Georgetown, and Industry, Pennsylvania. Samples are obtained from two I (2) additional locations based upon the highest predicted annual average ground D/Q when milk locations are unavailable. Samples are also obtained from the control location in Weirton, West Virginia. All samples are analyzed for gamma emitters by I gamma spectrometry. Samples are also analyzed by radiochemical analysis for iodine- I 31. I b. Procedures I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Foodcrops: Analysis is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system. A high-resolution I germanium detector is utilized with this system. Samples of feedstuff and foodcrops are loaded into tare weight 150 or 300 mL plastic bottles or I-liter Marinelli containers, weighed and the net weight of the sample is determined prior to scanning I for gamma emitters. Gamma Emitter Analysis of Feedstuff: Although not required by the ODCM, analysis I is performed by scanning a dried, homogenized sample with a gamma spectrometry system.

Monitoring of Local Cow and Goat Milk I 1. Description - Milch Animal Locations I Samples of fresh milk are obtained from milch animals at locations and frequencies noted in Table 2-1 . The milk is analyzed for its radioiodine content, gamma emitters, I strontium-89 and strontium-90. Detailed field surveys are performed during the grazing season to locate and enumerate I milch animals within a five (5) mile radius of the site. Survey data for the most recent survey conducted is shown in Section 3, Land Use Census. I 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
- a. Program Cow milk was collected from the one (1) reference dairy farm within a IO-mile radius of the BVPS, Brunton Dairy Farm (6.076 miles southeast) and one (1) control location dairy farm outside of the 10-mile radius, Windsheimer Dairy Farm (10.475 I miles south-southwest).
Dairy cow sampling is performed at Brunton Dairy since 2016, due to the closure of Halstead Dairy and Searight Dairy in 2014. Additionally, one goat location was available for sampling and samples were obtained at the Covert Residence (2.131 miles southwest). The dairies are subject to change based upon availability of milk or when more recent data (milch animal census, and/or change in meteorological conditions) indicate other locations are more appropriate. The milk samples are collected and analyzed biweekly when the animals are on pasture and monthly at other times. The monthly and/or biweekly sample is analyzed for principle gamma emitters (including cesium-13 7 by high resolution germanium gamma spectrometry), and iodine-131 high sensitivity analysis. Although not I required by the ODCM, the monthly and/or biweekly sample is also analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90. I The location of each is shown in Figure 2-8 and described below. I I 2-39

- b. Procedure I Iodine-131 Analysis of Milk: The milk samples are chemically prepared, and then analyzed with a low-level beta counting system.
I Gamma Emitter Analysis of Milk: This is determined by gamma spectrometry I analysis of a 1 liter Marinelli container of milk. Strontium-90 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the milk I samples are prepared by adding a stable strontium carrier and evaporating to dryness, then ashing in a muffle furnace, followed by precipitating phosphates. Strontium is I purified in all samples by the Argonne method using 3 grams of extraction material in a chromatographic column. Stable yttrium carrier is added, and the sample is allowed to stand for a minimum of 5 days for the in-growth of yttrium-90 (Y-90). Yttrium is I then precipitated as hydroxide dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is counted in a low-level beta counter to I infer strontium-90 activity. Strontium-89 Analysis of Milk: Although not required by the ODCM, the strontiurn-I 89 activity is determined by precipitating strontium carbonate (SrC03) from the sample after yttrium separation. This precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is covered with an 80 mg/cm2 aluminum absorber for low level beta counting. I Chemical yields of strontium and yttrium are determined by gravimetric means. I 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the analysis results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A I trend graph of iodine-131 and strontium-90 analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-9. I a. Strontium-89: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for strontium-89 during the report period. Strontium-89 was I not detected in any of the forty-two (42) indicator samples, nor was it detected in any of the twenty-one (21) control samples. I b. Strontiurn-90: Although not required by the ODCM, a total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for strontium-90 during the report period. Strontium-90 was I detected in fourteen of forty-two (14 of 42) indicator samples and sixteen of twenty-I I 2-41

- c. Gamma Spectrometry: A total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry during the report period. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was present in thirty-two of forty-two (32 of 42) indicator samples and twenty-one of I
twenty-one (21 of 21) control samples. No other gamma-emitting radionuclides were identified during analysis. I
- d. Iodine-131: A total of sixty-three (63) milk samples were analyzed for iodine-131 during the report period. Iodine-131 was not detected in any of the forty-two (42)
I indicator samples, but was it detected in one of twenty-one (21) control samples. This anomaly was under the reportable limit and was documented for trending. I
- e. Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis: There were two deviations from the required milk sampling and analysis schedule occurred for the reporting period.
I Sufficient milk samples were not available from locations within the 5 mile radius in I 2017. The unavailability of milk caused the REMP to not meet the ODCM sample requirements in l/2-0DC-2.03 and in l/2-0DC-3.03, Attachment Q Table 3.12-1 stating that a minimum of four (4) milk locations shall be sampled. This initiated the I ODCM requirement for sampling two (2) additional garden locations based upon the highest predicted annual average D/Q when milk locations are not available. I During the sampling period, 07/09/2017 - 07/15/201 7, REMP milk (goat) sampling location at the Covert' s Residence in Hookstown, PA (Site No. 114, 2.131 miles SW) I was unavailable. The owner and goats were out of town during the sampling period. (Notification 601078879, Line 6) I

Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E I 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring I 1. Description of Regional Background Radiation and Sources I Historical information for regional background was obtained from Reuter-Stokes instruments that were previously located within a five (5) mile radius of the BVPS site. I Data is no longer available from these instruments, but historical data indicated that the background exposure rates ranged from 6 µR/hr to 12 µR/hr. I The sources of background radiation are affected by the terrain in the vicinity of BVPS, whereas, the local hills (i.e. altitude variations of 300-400 feet) and densely wooded areas I contribute to variations in background radiation. Other sources (e.g. radon) are affected by the geological features of the region, which are characterized by nearly flat-laying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania age. For information, the local sedimentary beds I of limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits partially cover the older sedimentary deposits in the I northwest. Most of the region is underlain by shale, sandstone, and some coal beds of the Conemaugh Formation. Outcrops of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Allegheny Formation exist within the Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams. I 2. Locations and Analytical Procedures I Ambient external radiation levels around the site were measured using TLDs. I During the report period, there were a total of sixty-six (66) environmental TLD locations. This is comprised of forty-four (44) offsite locations, along with twenty-two I (22) fence perimeter locations. The offsite TLD locations are plotted on Figure 2-10, but the fence perimeter locations are not plotted due to the large scale of the figure. I The TLDs were annealed at the Contractor Central Laboratory shortly before placing the TLDs in their field locations. The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the I Central Laboratory, the field location, and the Central Laboratory was corrected by transit controls maintained in lead shields at both the Central Laboratory and the field office. All dosimeters were exposed in the field for a calendar quarter, in a specific I holder that contains two (2) TLDs at each location. I I I 2-45
Beaver Valley Power Station RTL A9.690E 2017 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report Enclosure 3 I SECTION 2- ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
- 3. Results and Conclusions I
A summary of the TLD results during the report period are listed in Table 2-2. A trend I graph of analyses (including the pre-operational period through the report period) is shown on Figure 2-11. I TLD Analysis: During the report period, the average quarterly external exposure rate (as measured from TLD) was 18.9 mR at the sixty-six (66) indicator locations, and 19.5 mR I at the control location. This external exposure rate is comparable to previous years. As expected, there was some variation in external exposure rate among locations and seasons. I Deviations from Required Sampling and Analysis Schedule: There was one deviation from the required direct radiation monitoring schedule during the report period. On Thursday January 5, 2017, the REMP technician was performing the scheduled quarterly TLD changeout. During the work, it was noticed that Station #94 (McCleary Road & Pole Cat Hollow Rd, 2.37 miles SSW) was missing both of its two TLDs for the 4th quarter for 2016. The TLDs have been replaced at this location for 1st quarter collection (CR-2017-04706). I Summary: The quarterly TLD external exposure rates are comparable to that of the previous decade. There was no evidence ,of anomalies that could be attributed to the I operation of BVPS. It should also be noted that the average external exposure rate at the indicator locations was less than average external exposure rate at the control location. Based on all the analytical results and the comparison to pre-operational levels, the I operation of BVPS did not contribute any measurable increase in external exposure in the vicinity of the site during the report period. The TLD exposure rates also confirm that I changes from natural radiation levels, if any, are negligible. I I I I I 2-46 I
