Foreword O(March 28, 1979, a series of events occurred at Three Mile Island Unit 2, w5ich resulted in the release of approximately 600,000 of gallons contaminate,d water onto the containment floor.

Part of this liquid was discharged into the Susquehanna River over the period of March 28 through May 11.

This document presents data for these discharges, and analyses of their, consequences.

At no time did the releases endanger the health and safety of the public, nor did they result in significant environmental impact.

This document was assembled by members of the Radiological Assessment Branch staff. The analyses in the main body of it document were done by Walt Pasciak, and technical and editorial review was done by Frank J. Congel an'd Edward F. 9ranagan, Jr.

Introduction The purpose of this document is to present data on radionuclide releases made to Susquehanna River as a result of the incident at Three Mile Island Nuclear

~

Station during the period of 3/28/79 through acproximately 5/11/79, and to evaluate the health and environmental consequences of those releases.

The main body of this document presents methods used to determine the maximum doses that an individual would receive as a result of ingestion of drinking water and fish flesh, and also a method for determining maximum doses that could be received by the fish biota.

The calculated doses were well below the current criteria for public health, and protection of the environment.

Appendix A contains measurements made at the site prior to dilution with plant

~

and river flow and form the basis for calculating concentrations 'in the environ-cent and the resulting doses.

Appendix B contains data of measurements of concentrations at the-discharge and downstream of the discharge, and serve to provide backup evidence for the calculational method.

Most of the data of Appendicies A and B were infromally provided by Metropolitan Edicen Co., and their consultant, Porter-Gertz Consultants, Inc.

What wasen't supplied by these sources was based on calculations described in the text.

Appendix C contains dose calculations made by the license, and is presented for reference (1).

The results of their analysis are roughly comparable to the ones presented here and lead to the same conclusions regarding public health and protection of the environment.

was released from all flow paths except the Sec. Neut, path.

Table 1 also lists the expected activity that would be released annuall'y under normal operation according to the Final Environmental Statement (FES) for TMI, Unit 2 (1976).

As can be seen from comparison of the anticipated normal releases to the actual ones, for many nuclides the actual releases that occurred during the incident were much smaller than (or similar to) the findings of the FES, it can be concluded that these nuclide releases had no signi.ficant health or

\\

environmental effects.

The calculations which follow support.'this conclusion.

  • The sourco of water into the Secondary Neutralizing Tank is from the regeneration of tlio Illinois Water Treatment System demineralizer.

of water passing tlirough this system.

3.

Concentration of radionuclides in water At least 17 isotopes were released from the WECST tanks in measurable concentra-tMons as indicated by Table 1.

Most of these were released in such low corcen-trations and at such infrequent intervals that their effect is considered unimportant in comparison.

The isotopes of most concern were H-3, Co-58, Co-60, Cs-134, and Cs-137.

Figures A-1 through A-4 of Appendix A depict the concentration of each isotope and relate it to the discharge permit number.

The discharge permit number can be equated to the period over which the discharge occurred by means of Tabel A-4.

As can be seen from Table A-4, successive numbers correspond to successive days, hence the figures display the release over time.

In addition to the isotopes described above, I-131 was also released from the WECST tanks as well as from the IWFS and IWTS flow paths.

The I-131 that was released is handled separately from those nuclides above because it was released from the three sources.

The concentration of the isotopes, H-3, Co-58, Co-60, Co-134 and Cs-137, in the river water is determined by the figures and by Table A-4.

These concentra-tion estimates are made by selecting a concentration value from each figure that is larger than the average value, and dividing that value by 10% of the dilution factor of Table A-4.

A detailed discussion of river flows with which the dilution factors were determined is contained in Reference (3).

Ten percent is used to be conservative and to not take credit for full river mixing.

Table 2 lists the estimates of the concentration in river water determined by this method.

The results in this table are used to calculate the dose to humans from consumption of drinking water and from consumption of fish flesh, as well as dose to fishes.

-I I-131 6.2 x 10 pCf/1

-2 Cs-134 3.1 x 10 pCi/1

-2 Cs-137 9.3 x 10 pCi/1 The above value for I-131 was determined from the data in Table A-6, which lists the I-131 releases between 3/28/79 and 5/11/79 from all, known sources.

Included in Table A-6 is the time peried over which each releas~e was made, the release concentration which takes into consideration plant dilution flow but not river dilution flow, the activity released for each period, and the cumulative activity released.

The highest release concentration over the entire period was 2.8 x 10*4 pCi/1.

This value is conservative in comparison to the data of

~

~ ~

Table B-1 by over an order of magnitude.

The average release rates from the IWTS, IWFS, WECST, and Sec. Neut. flow paths was about 48,000 gal / day.

The average flew in the river over this period was about 34,000 cfs.

If the discharge flow were fully mixed with the river flow the discharge concentration 5

would be diluted by a factor 4.5 x 10.

As was done for the other nuclides in Table 2, for this calculation 10% dilution is assumed for conservatism, hence the average river water concentration of I-131 is 6.2 x 10'I pCf/1, which appears in the above table.

i 6-4.

Estimation of doses via consumotion of fishes The dose from the fish consumption pathway is determined as follows.

The concentration of the nuclide n fish flesh is determined by multiplication of the concentration in water times the bioaccumulation factor.

This approach for determining the concentration in fish flesh is conservative as it assumes that the concentration in the flesh has come to equilibrium with the concentration in the water.

The time period necessary to reach equilibrium can be long, and with intermittent releases such as occurred at TMI it is doubtful that equilibrium would be reached even if the releases went on indefinitely.

Multiplying these concentrations listed in Table 2 by the appropriate bicaccumulation factors of Reg. Guide 1.109 (2) for freshwater fish results in the follgwing concentrations of radionuclides in fishes.

Table 3

"~

Next, it was assumed that an individual could eat 0.25 kg of fish flesh at a meal, and no credit was taken for the decay of the nuclides in catching and preparing ' t.e fish.

This resulted in an estimated total body dose equivalent an adult individual would get from a meal of fish, based on dose factors in Reg. Guide 1.109, to be as follows.

Table 4 Nuclides Dose oer fish dinner

-6 H-3 1.5 x 10 mrem

-3 Cs-134 1.9 x 10 mrem Cs-137 3.3 x 10-3,7,g

-3 Total 5.2 x 10 mrem

~~~

Even if this amount of fish were eaten by a single individual twice daily for three months the dose would still be less than one millirem.

On this basis, we conclude that no significant doses or health effects occurred as a result of fish consumption.

Because of the unrealistic conservatism built into this calculation, and because the result is so insignificant, calculations are presented only for whole body dose, and not for other body organs.

It is not anticipated that significant dosas would occur for the other organs.

1546 170

'5.

Estimation of Doses via Consumotion of Drinkina Water Estimation of the dose by consumption of drinking water is made by multiplication of the consumption of water, by the concentration of nuclides in the water, by the ingestion dose factor. This calculation is based on a sixty day period -

pth a consumption rate of one liter per day.

The concentrations given in Table 2 and the dose ingestion factors of Reg. Guide 1.109 result in the following estimated doses.

-3 Total 1.3 x 10 mrem Actually the dose would be expected to be significantly smaller than this because the nearest location at which drinking water is drawn from the river is 4.1 miles downstream and more than 10% dilution would be expected, and secondly the releases were intermittent and during most of the time no releases ~

were being made at all, or the actual concentrations being released were smaller than those used for this calculation.

1546 171

....m-.

On the basis of this number we conclude that there were no health effects of any significance as'sociated with this pathway.

e Doses to fishes from accumulation of radionuclides 6.

The dose equivalent a fish would receive can be calculated from the data of This is done here by making the conservative assumption that all the Table 3.

decay energy from radioactive disintegration of nuclides accumulated within a fish is absorbed in the tissues of the fish.

Multiplication of each value of Table 3, by its appropriate decay energy, times 60 days, times the appropriate unit conversion fctors results in Table 5, the dose to fishes.

  • The mrad units are equivalent to mrem units in this instance as for this spectrum the principal forms of decay are $ particles, indicating a quality factor of 1.

1546 1712

This value is below the 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I criteria for humans of 5 mrem total body,15 mrem skin, thus we conclude that these releases will not have a significant effect on the fish populations.

-3 mrea due to drinking water consumption excessive fish consumption,1.3 x 10 In spite over sixty days, and a dose to fishes of 4.9 mrem over sixty days.

of the fact that these results are based on unrealistically conservative assumptions, they are small enough that they indicate that the health and safety of the public was not endangered, nor was there signif.icant environ-mental impact.

J Table A-6

[

This table lists data for I-131 releases between 3/28/79 and 5/11/19.

The l

data list releases from all, sources.

The first two columns give the start and f

stodhtimeanddateforeachrelease.

The third column is the release source; 6

the fourth column is the concentration at the station discharge based on dilution with plant flow; the fif th column is the concentrat',on at the discharge location based on a gram sample; the sixth column is the activity released over the discharge period; and the last column is the cumulative activity released starting from 3/28/79 at 4:00 a.m.

All isotopic samples on this,

tank after 4/2/79 showed no detectable I-131 or I-133.

~Since the input to this tank is essentially river water from upstream of a.

Accendix 3 This appendix contains data on concentration levels of I-131, measured at the disch'arge and at the East dike for the period bf 6/5/79 through 5/19/79. Table B-1 centains the data for the discharge h

and Table B-2 for the East dike. As the East dike samples (S-2) are from the opposite side cf the island as the radwaste discharge they serve to indicate ambient levels.

Table B-1 This table gives the time and dates for which grab samples for I-131 in discharge water were taken. Except for a few cases, the measured discharge concentration was less than 40. pCi/1, with

~

a mode of about 31. pCi/t.

These values are based on minimum detectable activity levels as almost all of the sample measurements resulted in null detection.

J Accendix C This appendix contains the licensee's analysis of the data for this period.

It is presented for reference. Table I is a comparis'en of doses to i

imaximum individual for drinking water, fish consumption, and b'oating activity, 8

Table II gives data on effluent releases for the period, Table III depicts the liquid release flow paths, Table IV summarizes the radienuclides that were released, Table V summarizes the H-3 concentrations at the Columbia water treatment plant, and Table VI discusses gross gamma measurements.

Many of the data presented here are redundant with earlier portions of this document, and are presented here only to keep the licensee's analysis intact.
