't, THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM ANNilAL REPORT FOR 1979 Metropolitan Edison Company APRIL 1980 4

PREFACE This annual report of the 1979 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station Units 1 and 2 satisfies the reporting requirements of both Unit 1 and Unit 2 as shown in their respec-tive Environmental Technical Specifications.

e i

SUMMARY

This report contains the results of the operational Radiological Environ-mental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Metropolitan Edison Company at Three Mile Island Nuclear Station (TMINS) during the period January 1 through December 31, 1979.

On March 28, 1979, there was an accident at Unit 2 resulting in a release of radioactivity to the environment. The operational program was immediately intensified.

This intensified program required, in addition to all normal operational procedures, an increased sampling and analysis frequency and the addition of new sampling locations. This was done to facilitate an orderly and timely acquisition of radiological data so as to evaluate, in the most efficient manner, the environmental consequences of the incident.

Environmental samples were collected and delivered to commercial radiation laboratories for analysis. There were over 5500 samples collected and over 9700 analyses performed on these samples.

A careful review of the monitoring data in accordance w'ith the Environ-mental Technical Specifications (ETS) for Unit 1 and Unit 2 led to the following conclusions:

1.

The requirements of the radiological portions of the Environ-mental Technical Specifications (ETS) for TMINS were met and exceeded.l.2 2.

Prior to the March 28, 1979 accident at Unit 2, there was no detectable radiological impact due to the normal operation of TMINS.

3.

From March 28, 1979 on, there were some transient, low level increases in the immediate radioenvironment. The increases were limited to iodine-131 in air and milk, and the gamma immersion dose.

4.

The average incremental radiological doses associatec with radioactivity increases along critical pathways were:

11

J Pathway Dose Organ Inhalation of airborne iodine-131 Approximately 1.38 mrem Adult thyroid i

Ingestion of iodine-131 in cows' milk Approximately 0.67 mrem Infant thyroid Gamma immersion dose Approximately 2.4 mrem Whole body 5.

There were no detectable increases found in the local off-site 4

radioenvironment after April 12, 1979, for gamma immersion dose, May 19, 1979, for iodine-131 in cows' milk, and May 3, 1979, for iodine-131 in air.

INTRODUCTION l

Metropolitan Edison Company has been conducting a REMP for TMINS since 1969. This program involves sampling and analyzing the aquatic, terrestrial, l

and atmospheric environments along established critical pathways in order to establish the radiological quality of the environment and to determine and evaluate any radiological impact caused by TMINS operation. This program j

'is designed and implemented to meet the ETS for each unit, both individually and collectively.1,2 On March 28, 1979, there was an accident at TMINS Unit 2 which caused the accidental and short-term intermittent release of radioactivity to the environment in excess of that released during normal operations. The normal environmental monitoring program was expanded to include additional sampling and analysis frequency and to include the addition of new analyses and sampling locations, a

. PROGRAM The REMP includes both a preoperational and an operational phase.

June 5, 1974, the date on which TMINS Unit 1 achieved initial criticality, marked the beginning of the operational phase of the program. The operational phase for Unit 2 began on March 28, 1978, when this unit achieved initial criticality.

In the operational phase for both units, radioanalytical data are collected for comparison with that generated in the preoperational phase and for comparison of indicator and control station results. A n indicator station is one where any reactor-caused increases would be expected to be seen; a control station is one that would likely be unaffected. Differences were then compared to determine whether any station effects existed based on the magnitude and fluctuations of radioactivity levels measured in the preoperational phase and at the control locations.

Objectives The objectives of the REMP are:

1.

To fulfill the obligations of the radiological surveillance sections of the ETS for both TMINS Unit 1 and Unit 2.1,2 2.

To determine and quantify any increase in the radioenvironment due to normal operations of Units 1 and 2, and to the accident of March 28, 1979 in Unit 2.

3.

To detect any buildup of long-lived radionuclides in the environment.

4.

To detect any change in ambient gamma radiation levels.

4 This report provides information for the Metropolitan Edison Company, General Public Utilities, regulatory agencies, and the public record, to support these objectives.

s

'. Design Sampling locations and media were based on (1) established critical pathways for the transmission of radionuclides through the environment to man, and (2) the experience gained during the course of the rogram.

Sampling i

locations were determined by site meteorology, Susquehanna River hydrology, local demography, and differential land useage.

l To examine the effects of TMINS operations on the environment, sampling i

locations were designated either as indicator or control.

Indicator stations are those which are expected to manifest effects, if any exist, of I

plant operations; control locations are those believed to be unaffected by I

plant operations. Fluctaations in the levels of radionuclides and direct i

I radiation at indicator stations were compared with those recorded for control stations to evaluate the contributions of normal'TMINS operations and the March 28, 1979 accident.

Indicator stations' data were also evaluated relative to background characteristics established prior to station operation.3 i

The analytical data gene, rated during the program was reviewed initially by the commercial laboratories and sent to Metropolitan Edison Company (Met-Ed) i where it was further reviewed for reasonableness, accuracy, and tompliance with the ETS.I.2 Table 5 (p. 8 ) presents a summary of t'he TMINS REMP. Appendix A explains i

the sample coding system which specifies sample type and location at a glance.

Table A-1 gives the pertinent information on individual sampling locations, while maps A-1, A-2, and A-3, show their geographical locations. Table A-2 provides a summary of the REMP sampling and analysis procedures. Appendix B i

provides a chronology of the changes that occurred in the sampling program due to the Unit 2 March 28, 1979 accident. Table B-1 presents a complete listing, by sample type, of all changes in the program that occurred in l

sampling location and frequency, and analysis type and frequency.

Exceptions The 1979 operational REMP for TMINS was conducted in accordance with the ETS for TMINS.1,2 Deviations from the sampling Program, as described in Table 3 of the Unit 1 ETS and in Table 3.2-2 of the Unit 2 ETS, occurred during this period and are reported below as required.1,2 The loss of these few samples did not hinder the effectiveness of the Program.

Unit 1: Pump outages resulted in the loss of four air particulate and four air iodine samples at various stations. One air particulate filter was lost in transit to the laboratory.

Fourteen surface water samples were not collected due to frozen' river conditions. High river flow conditions prevented the collection of two surface water samples.

The reporting levels for Unit I are based on specified limits set in the Unit 1 ETS; those values exceeding reporting levels for Unit 2 are aver-aged over any calendar quarter which was interpreted as "any consecutive 91-day period".1,2

The determination of values which exceeded reporting and investigative 1

levels for Unit 1 are assessed in a straightforward manner; i.e., by comparison of those values with specified levels of activity applicable tu any given sampling period. Due to changes in sampling frequency made in response to the March 28, 1979 accident, those levels for Unit 2 must be based on a weighted average which is calculated as follows:

E = f IXi n

where, x = weighted average of analytical values.

f = number of days over which each measurement applies, Xi = analytical value, n = total number of days under consideration (i.e., 91 days).

The following is a summary of those dates during which investigative and reporting levels were reached. Many more samples were taken, due to the March 28, 1979 accident, than were required by both Unit 1 and Unit 2 ETS.1,2 The resulting tables therefore include more values that exceeded ETSs' levels than would be exhibited had only ETSs' required samples and sampling periods have been included.

  • Although TLD stations 7F1 and 9G1, which are control locations, have exceeded investigation levels for Unit I during the period 11/17-12/1, section 5.6.2.2(b)(1)(2) of the Unit 1 ETS allows for an optional com-parison of data in which results for control stations for that specified time period can be compared with the values in question. When the mean 3

and standard deviation of the other control location data for the period 11/17-12/1 are compared with the values for 7F1 and 9G1, it is evident there is no significant difference between the other control values and the results in question; therefore, such values should be attributed to natural random variations in background levels.

4 Although the above TLD readings, which exceeded the investigation levels for Unit 1, encompassed the sampling period 12/27-3/29, it is our opinion that these values were a direct result of the Unit 2, March 28, 1979 accident.

Indeed, all of the above values which exceeded investigation or reporting levels, except where noted, could be attributed to the accident. For a detailed discussion of the significance of these values refer to the Results and Discussion and Impact sections of this report;

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The averages and ranges of analytical results are summarized in Table 6.

Results for each type of sample were grouped according to the analyses per-formed. The standard deviations of these results were calculated when applicable.

It should be noted that these standard deviations represent sample population variability and not analytical variability.

Prior to the March 28, 1979 accident at Unit 2, the REMP was identical to that performed in 1978.3 However, because of the accident, the Program was immediately and markedly expanded as can be seen in the Program Section and Appendix A of this report. This expanded Program was specifically geared to evaluate, in the shortest time possible, the accident's radio-environmental consequences. The discussion which follows centers on the environmental implications of these analytical results while the Impact Section of this report evaluates the radiological impact of these results.

Surface / Drinking Water Surface and drinking water samples were analyzed for iodine-131, tritium, gamma emitting radionuclides, gross beta activity, and strontium-89 and 90.

The results of these analyses indicate that the radiological quality of these environmental media were not affected by TMINS. The reasons for this con-clusion are discussed below.

Iodine-131 There were 3006 samples analyzed for iodine-131 with only 80 results above the limit of detection. These positive results ranged from 0.29 0.12 to 3.2 0.2 pCi/l with 20 of these results being above 1.0 pCi/1. A review of the temporal and spatial occurrence of these results showed no pattern that could be related to TMINS effluents. That is, positive results sporadically occurred upstream, in the plant intake, and dowastream.

For example, positive results were found at control b u t not indicator locations, or positive results were found 15 miles downstream but not in the plant effluent. Thus sources other than TMINS were considered.

When positive iodine results occurred, they generally were in evidence at TM-SW-1C3 (Swatara Creek, approximately 2.3 miles upstream), TM-SW-7G1 (Columbia Water Plant, approximately 15 miles downstream), and TM-SW-7C3 (Lancaster Water Company, approximately 15.5 miles downstream). Consideration was given to Hershey Medical Center as a possible source for the positive values in Swatara Creek. Lancaster General Hospital was considered as a potential source for the Columbia Water Plant and for Lancaster Water Company positive iodine results via Chickies Creek, a tributary flowing into the Susquehanna River just above the respective intakes for these water companies.'

Both hospitals were contacted; and, in many instances, it was learned that positive iodine-131 results found in the sampling program were associated with iodine-131 administered to patients for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes at both institutions.4,5 A study by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration in the Ohio River also found similar associative results for iodine-131 and medical uses.6 Also,

. the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has estimated that medical used of iodine-131 could cause riverine concentrations of between 0.5 and 2.7 pCi/l of iodine-131 around TMINS.7 Tritium The tritium levels detected were within the ranges found preoperationally and operationally prior to 1979; no trends or spatial differences were apparent in 1979 (See Figure 1).3,8,9,10,11 Gross Beta Activity The levels of gross beta activity were similar to those found in 1978, and no trends or spatial differences were apparent for 1979.3 Gamma Spectroscopy The only radionuclides found were naturally occurring radium-226, potassium-40, and thorium-228.

Strontium-89 and 90 Of the 16 samples analyzed, only 2 results for strontium-90 and no results for strontium 89 were above the limit of detection.

These few positive results are similar to those found preoperationally and prior to 1979.3,8,9,10,11 Effluent Water Prior to March 28, 1979, effluent water samples (combined Unit 1 and Unit 2 effluents) were analyzed monthly for tritium and gamma emitting radionuclides. However, beginning on March 29, 1979, effluent water samples were taken and analyzed on a daily basis for iodine-131, tritium, gross beta activity, gamma emitting radionuclides, and, on one occasion (June 25), for strontium-89 and 90.

The results of these post-incident analyses showed high levels of iodine-131 in two instances (62 and 43 pCi/l on April 1 and 2 respectively) and occasional low levels of iodine-131 throughout 1979. The low levels of iodine found may have been due to sources other than TMINS; and, in any event, these positive results did not correlate with positive results found in surface or drinking water (refer to Iodine-131 in Surface and Drinking Water Section).

Tritium levels in effluent water generally reflected typical ambient environmental concentrations, but occasional high values were noted. Gamma spectroscopy found very occasional low levels of:

cobalt-58, cesium-137, and naturally occurring thorium-228 and potassium-40.

Strontium analyses noted one low level positive strontium-89 and two low level positive strontium-90 results.

It should be noted, however, that these results for effluent water did not have an impact on surface or drinking water quality.

Precinitation Rainwater samples were typically collected monthly with the exception of April, during which samples were collected twice (for the period March 31 to April 5, and April 5 to April 27).

Samples were analyzed for gross beta activity, tritium, gamma emitting radionuclides, strontium-89 and 90; and, for those samples immediately post-accident, iodine-131 analyses were also performed.

All results for all samples, with the following exceptions, were well within normal environmental ranges. The only unusual results encountered were two low level positive iodine-131 values at TM-RW-8C1 (Falmouth) and TM-RW-5A1 (Observation Center) for the period March 31 to April 5, 1979.

l

Milk Prior to March 28, cow and goat milk samples were collected monthly, and each sample was analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides.

Beginning on March 29 and continuing to May 31, samples were collected and analyzed daily; from June 2 on, samples were collected and analyzed weekly for iodine-131 and gamma emitting radionuclides.

Strontium analyses were also performed on quarterly composites and on individual samples with iodine-131 concentrations greater than 10 pCi/1.

The iodine levels in milk were elevated temporarily due to the accident.

This elevation was most noticeable at TM-MG-1B1, a goat farm (on Route 441, 1.2 miles north of the site), where the values ranged from 1.1 0.2 to 110 10 pCi/1.from March 29 to May 23, 1979, and averaged 18.6 pCi/l for this same time period. No iodine was found after May 23, 1979.

Iodine-131 levels in cows' milk were elevated from March 29 to May 19, 1979.

No iodine was found after May 19, 1979. The highest levels were found at TM-M-7B3 (1.6 miles southeast of the site) which averaged 2.13 pCi/1, and ranged from <0.2 to 21 pCi/1 during this time period. When all milk samples from all sampled farms are considered, the average iodine-131 level in cows' milk du' ring this same time period was 0.93 pCi/1. The highest levels found were well below the 439 pCi/l found in milk in North York County in Pennsylvania as a result of the Chinese bomb testing in September 1976 and well below the proposed FDA limit of 12,000 pCi/1.12 Gamma spectroscopy of milk samples found, in addition to iodine-131, i

only naturally occurring potassium-40, normal background levels of fallout cesium-137, and, in two samples, very low levels of radioxenon. Radioxenon has no recognized dose implications in this pathway, thus there is no impact due to these findings.13 No detectable strontium-89. Only normal background levels of fallout strontium'-90 were found in the milk.

W 20-Air Iodine Continuous air iodine samples were taken weekly at four locations prior to March 28; from March 28 to June 1 this program segment was expanded to eight locations with samples taken every three or four days; and from June 2 t h e s e ei gh t locations were sampled weekly.

An increase in the airborne iodine-131 levels were evident from March 28 to May 3, 1979.

The air sampler at TMINS Observation Center (station TM-AI-5A1) had the highest levels during this time period, ranging from <0.02 to 20.3 2.0 3

pCi/m3 and averaging 2.94 pCi/m. The iodine-131 levels in Middletown (station TM-AI-1C1), a proximal population center, averaged 1.12 pCi/m3 and ranged f rom <0.04 to 12.7 1.3 pCi/m3 for this same time period.

I-131 levels in Goldsboro (station TM-AI-12B1), another proximal population center, averaged 1

2.09 pCi/m3 and ranged from <0.05 to 23.9 2.4 pCi/m3 for this same time period. The overall airborne iodine-131 concentration within 13 miles of the site averaged 1.20 pCi/m3 from March 28 to May 3, 1979. No airborne iodine-131 wac detected after May 3, 1979.

Air Particulates Continuous air particulate samples were collected at eight locations following the same sampling schedule as air iodine samples.

Each air particulate sample was analyzed for its gross beta activity, and composite samples were analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and strontium-89 and 90.

All analytical results for all air particulate samples were at normal ambient background levels with no spatial, temporal, or trend differences apparent (See Figure 2).

. Gamma Immersion Dose Prior to March 28, thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), used to measure the gamma immersion dose, were collected quarterly at twenty locations.

On March 29, 1979, TLDs were collected and analyzed for the first quarter of 1979, and again on March 31, 1979, and then collected every three or four days in April, weekly in May, and monthly and quarterly from June through December.

In the beginning of September, 35 new TLD locations were added to the monitoring program; TLDs from these new locations were analyzed for the month of September and quarterly thereafter.

In order to evaluate the results of the gamma immersion dose monitoring program, the 1978 observed backgrounds, which are unique for each location, were subtracted from the 1979 observed values to arrive at the incremental immersion dose attributable to TMINS.3 These values, which are in units of milli-Roentgens, were convertad to milli-rem for evaluation purposes by assuming 0.955 milli-rads per milli-Roentgen and a quality factor of unity.

1 Based on this methodology it,was determined that the off-site environmental dose rate was elevated from March 28 to April 12, 1979. No dose increments were observed after April 12, 1979. The table below and Figure 3 summarizes these increases.

Fish samples were collected weekly from April 11 to May 30, 1979, and once in July and October upstream (control) and downstream (indicator).

These samples were filleted, separated into classes of bottom feeder versus predator-game species, and analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides and strontium-89 and 90.

Strontium-89 was not detected in any sample, while low levels of fallout strontium-90 were, detected in some samples. Gamma spectroscopy found naturally occurring potassium-40 and thorium-228, low levels of fallout cesium-137, and, on two occasions, low levels of cesium-134.

Aquatic Sediment Aquatic Sediment samples were collected weekly from April 5 through May 29, 1979, and once in July and October at a variety of control and indicator locations. These samples were analyzed for strontium-89 and 90 and for gamma emitting radionuclides.

Strontium-89 was not found in any sample while low levels of fallout strontium-90 were found in some samples. Gamma

__, spectroscopy noted the presence of naturally occurring potassium-40, thorium-228, radium-226, and beryllium-7, low levels of fallout cesium-137 and strontium-90, and low levels of reactor produced cobalt-58, cobalt-60, manganese-54, and cesium-134.

Aquatic Plants Two aquatic plant samples upstream were taken in July 1979.

Both samples showed the presence of naturally occurring potassium-40.

Soil-Grass Vegetation One week after the accident, soil and grass and/or inedible vegetation samples were taken at each milk sampling location. These samples were analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Soil samples generally showed the presence of naturally occurring potassium-40, radium-226, and thorium-232 or thorium-228, and fallout-cesium-137. Grass and vegetation samples had, in some instances, detectable levels of naturally occurring beryllium-7, potassium-40, fallout cesium-137, and, in four samples, barely detectable levels of iodine-131.

Edible Foodstuffs A wide variety of edible foodstuf(c was sampled at various times and locations throughout 1979. These samples consisted of:

apples, asparagus, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, green beans, peaches, potatoes, spinach, beef, deer, eggs, mallard, poultry, and pork.

Each sample was analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. The only detected radionuclides were: naturally occurring potassium-40 in most samples, naturally occurring beryllium-7 and thorium-228 in one spinach sample, and fallout cesium-137 in one deer meat sample.

Miscellaneous Sample One miscellaneous sample, a goat foe.tus, whose mother had died due to pregnancy complications, was taken on April 5, 1979. Gamma spectral analysis of this sample found only naturally occurring potassium-40.

. ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT The March 28, 1979 accid.t resulted in cransient increases of radio-activity in the of f-site envit. nment.

In order to quantitatively evaluate t h i s impact, it is first necessary to calculate the potential radiological doses to individuals in the popu-lation at large that could have been exposed and to then estimate the health effects represented by these potential doses.

Methodology of Dose Assessment 13 The fundamental equation for calculation of radiation dose to man from measured concentratf.ons of various radionuclides in environmental media is:

U DF T

2.

D

=C ipr ip p ipr

where, ipr = the dose to organ r from nuclide i via pathway p, D

ip

= the concentration of nuclide i in the media of pathway p, C

U

= the exposure rate or intake rate associated with pathway p, p

DFipr = the dose factor specific to a given nuclide, pathway, and organ which can be used to calculate radiation dose from exposure rate to a given concentration of a radionuclide or the intake rate of a radionuclide, and, T

= the duration of the exposure or intake.

The terms used in the fundamental dose equation, and specifically their use in this report, are discussed below.

C ip The concentration of the i,th nuclide in the pth pathway are determined by averaging the observed values over those time periods during which such values were above normal background levels.

For purposes of calculating

. these averages, values below the analytical limit of detection are con-sidered to be at that level; this results in slightly higher averages and consequently slightly higher dose estimates than actually existed.

Up All exposure rates and intake rates used in this report were taken from United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1.109.13 DFipr All dose factors used in this report were taken from United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1.109.13 T

The exposure times used in this report correspond to the time periods of increased radioactivity for the discrete media type.

The incremental off-site gamma immersion dose was calculated directly from the thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) readings by subtracting the 1978 observed background from the 1979 observed values and summing these results over the time period of increased dose rate.3 These results were then con-verted to mrem by assuming 0.955 mrad per mRoentgen and a quality factor of 1.

The total population dose, expressed as person-rems, was, arrived at using the projected 1980 population.14 The equations used are:

DmR = DmR -DmR 1979-1978 3.

D

= 0.955D mrea mR 4.

D

=D x 1980 Population x 1000 person-rem mrem 5.

where, I

l i

L.

. DmR = the incremental off-site gamma immersion dose rate in mRoentgens for the time period of interest; DmR = the total observed dose rate for the time period of interest; 1979 DmR = the average observed dose rate for 1978 for the time period of 1978 interest; D

= the incremental of f-site gamma immersion dose in mrem for the mrem time period of interest; and, D

= the incremental person rem dose for the time period of person-rem interest.

Dose Calculations The doses calculated here are very conservative and necessarily represent upper limit estimations. This is attributed to the method of averaging radionuclide concentrations and not taking into account radio-active decay, occupancy factors, or shielding factors which would lower these calculated doses.

Air Iodine The concentrations of airborne iodine-131 were elevated for the period March 28 to May 3, 1979. To evaluate this increase, doses to the th'yroid gland are calculated for the potentially maximum adult at location TM-AI-5A1 (Observation Center which had the highest concentration), the average adult and child in Middletown (TM-AI-lC1) and Goldsboro (TM-AI-12B1),

and for the average adult and child in the general population.

Maximum Adult: This calculation assumes an individual was outside at the Observation Center (TM-AI-5A1) for the entire exposure period - an unlikely event.

D = (2.94 pCi/m3) (22m3 of air inhaled / day) (1.49 x 10-3 mrem /pci inhaled) (35 days) = 3.37 mrem

7. -..

(4.39 x 10-3 mrem /pCi inhaled)(35 days) =

1.72 mrem 3

Average Adult in Goldsboro:

D = (2.09 pCi/m )(22 m3 of air inhaled / day)

(1.49 x 10-3 mrem /pCi inhaled)(35 days) =

2.40 mrem Average Child in Goldsboro:

D = (2.09 pCi/m3)(10 m3 of air inhaled / day)

(4.39 x 10-3 mrem /pCi inhaled)(35 days) =

3.21 mrem Average Adult in the General Population: This and the following calculation for the average child utilized the average air iodine-131 concentration based on all off-site results.

3 D = (1.20 pCi/m )(22 m3 of air inhaled / day)(1.49 x 10-3 mrem /pci inhaled)(35 days) = 1.38 mrem 3

Average Child in the General Population: D = (1.20 pCi/m )(10 m3 of air inhaled / day)(4.39 x 10-3 mrem /pC1 inhaled)(35 days) = 1.84 mrem Iodine in Milk The concentrations of iodine-131 in cows' milk were elevated from l

March 29 to May 19, 1979, while those in goats' milk were elevated from March 29 to May 23, 1979.

To evaluate these increases, doses to the thyroid gland are calculated for the potentially maximum infant drinking only goats' l

milk from farm TM-MG-1B1, the potentially maximum infant drinking cows' milk i

from farm TM-M-7B3 (that farm with the highest concentration), and for the average infant in the general population.

1

. Maximum Infant Drinking Coats' Mi]ki This pathway truly did not exist in March and April as virtually all of the goat milk production was used either to suckle newborn goats or for environmental samples.15 Thus, the calculated dose is necessarily an overestimate of the potential maximum dose.

L = (18.6 pCi/1)(1 1/ day)(1.39 x 10-2 mrem /pCi ingested)(56 days) = 14.5 mrem The more likely potential maximum dose, which considers the twenty-three days of elevated concentrations in May, i s shown below.

D = (14.4 pCi/1)(1 1/ day)(1.39 x 10-2 mrem /pCi ingested)(23 days) = 4.60 mrem Maximum Infant Drinking Cows' Milk: D = (2.13 pCi/1) (1 1/ day)(1.39 x 10-2 mrem /

pCi ingested)(52 days) = 1.54 mrem Average Infant Drinking Cows' Milk: This calculation utilized the average milk iodine-Is1 concentration based on all results.

D = (0.93 pCi/1)(1 1/ day)(1.39 x 10-2 mrem /pci ingested)(52 days) =

0.67 mrem Gamma Immersion Dose The off-site gamma immersion dose was elevated for the period March 28 to April 12, 1979. To evaluate this increase, whole body immersion doses are calculated for the potentially maximum individual'at location TM-ID-4A1 (half mile ease northeast of site which had the highest dose rate where people likely would be), the average resident of Middletown (TM-ID-1Cl) and Goldsboro (TM-ID-12B1), and to the general population as a function of distance from TMINS.

i l

. Maximum Individual: This calculation assumes an individual was outside at this location for the entire exposure period - an unlikely event.

D = (79.9 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = 76.3 mrem Average Individual in Middletown: 0 = (7.2 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = 6.8 mrem Average Individual in Goldsboro:

D = (13.4 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = 12.8 mrem Average Individual at Discrete Distances From Three Mile Island: For these calculations, all results, from locations where people likely v.ould be, were averaged together for the appropriate distances:

D (site boundary to 1 mile) = (8.53 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (8.15 mrem)

(658 people)(1/1000) = 5.4 person-rems D (1 mile to 2 miles)

= (2.62 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (2.50 mrem)

(2017 people)(1/1000) = 5.0 person-rems D (2 miles to 3 miles)

= (1.74 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (1.66 mrem)

(7579 people)(1/1000) = 12.6 person-rems D (site boundary to 3 miles) = (4.30 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (4.11 mrem)

(10,254 people)(1/1000) = 42.1 person-rems D (5 miles to 10 miles)

= (0.8 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (0.76 mrem)

(137,454 people)(1/1000) = 104 person-rems D (site boundary to 10 miles)= (3.8 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (3.63 mrem)

(166.295 people)(1/1000) = 604 person-rems D (10 miles to 20 miles)

= (0.21 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (0.20 mrem)

(577,288 people)(1,1000) = 115 person-rems D (site boundary to 20 miles)= (2.51 mR)(0.955 mrad /mR)(1) = (2.40 mrem)

(743,583 people)(1/1000) = 1785 person-rems

. As can be seen from th'e summary table (Table 8), the average individual living near TMINS could have received an incremental dose for 1979 of less than 4 mrem. This dose level is less than the incremental whole body dose received on a transcontinental airplane flight and approximately 2% of the average annual radiological dose received by an individual due to medical exposures, fallout radioactivity, and natural background.

4 CONCLUSIONS Based on the information contained in this report, the following conclusions can be drawn concerning the 1979 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Programs and their results for TMINS.

1.

The re.quirement of the radiological portions of the ETS for TMINS Unit 1 and Unit 2 were satisfied.

2.

Prior to the March 28, 1979 accident at Unit 2, there was no detectable radiological impact due to the normal operation of either. unit.

3.

From March 28, 1979 on, there were some transient, low level increases in the immediate radioenvironment. The increases were limited to iodine-131 in air and milk, and the gamma immersion dose.

4.

The average incremental radiological doses associated with radio-activity increases along critical pathways were:

Inhalation of a'irborne iodine-131 resulted in about 1.'38 mrem to the adult thyroid; ingestion of iodine-131 in cows' milk resulted in about 0.67 mrem to the infant thyroid, and the gamma immersion dose resulted in about 2.4 mrem to the adult.

5.

There were no detectable increases found in the local off-site radioenvironment due to the accident ofter April 12, 1979, for gamma immersion dose, May 19, 1979, for iodine-131 in cows' milk, and May 3, 1979, for iodine-131 in air.

APPENDIX Sampling Locations Sample Identification Metropolitan Edison identifies samples by a three-part code: The first two letters are the power station identification code, in this case TM. The next one-to-three letters are for the media sampled.

AI = Air Iodine ID = Imersion Dose (TLD)

AP = Air Particulates M = Milk AQF = Fish RW = Precipitation AQP = Aquatic Plants SW = Surface Water AQS = Sediment V = Vegetation E

= Soil MG = Milk (Goats)

FPF = Fruit EW = Effluent Water FPL = Green Leafy Vegetables The last four symbols are a location code based on direction and distance from the site. Of the last four symbols, the first two represent each of the sixteen angular sectors of 22S degrees centered about the reactor site. Sector one is divided evenly by the north axis and the other sectors are numbered in a clockwise direction; i.e., 2 = NNE, 3 = NE, 4 = ENE, 5 = E, etc.

The next digit is a letter which represe,nts the radial distance from the plant:

S~

On-site location E

4-5 miles off-site

=

=

A 0-1 miles off-site F

5-10 miles off-site

=

=

l B

1-2 miles off-site G

10-20 miles off-site

=

=

l C

2-3 miles off-site H

> 20 miles off-site

=

=

D 3-4 miles off-site

=

This last number is the station's numerical designation within each sector and zone; e.g.,1, 2, -...

The location portions of these codes (i.e.,151, 3A1, etc.) are shown in Table A-1 along with detailed information and map coordinate numbers used to designate the individual samples on maps A 1. A-2, and A-3.

Table A-2 summarizes the Threa Mile Island Nuclear Station Radiological Monitoring Program sampling and analysis procedures.

MILK ANIMAL CENSUS The Environmental Technica'l Specifications for Unit I require that a census be conducted, during the midpoint of the grazing season, to determine the location of cows within a five-mile radius of the plant.1 The Environ-mental Technical Specifications for Unit 2 require that an annual census be conducted during the growing season to determine the location of the nearest milk animal in each of the sixteen meteorological sectors within a distance of five miles.2 These requirements were met by the performance of a complete dairy animal census from August 14 to August 29,1979, which is summarized in the following eight pages.
