OPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM

1. Introduction .

The Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, owned and operated by Alabama ,

Power Company (APCo), located in Houston County, Alabama is approximately i fif teen miles east of Dothan, Alabama on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River. Unit 1, a Westinghouse Electric Corporation Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) with a rated power output of 860 megawatts electrical (MWe) achieved initial criticality at 12:35 p.m. on August 9,1977. The unit was ,

declared " commercial" on December 1,1977.

During 1979 the unit was shutdown on March 9,1979 for refueling. As the result of the unit No. I anchor bolt inspection, the unit remained g shutdown through October and generated its first power of the second fuel cycle on November 6, 1979.

i The of f-site operational radiological environmental monitoring program has the objective of assessing the radiological impact of the operation of the Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) upon the surrocuding region. It is conducted to verify projected or anticipated radioactivity concentrations and related public exposures from plant operations.

The sample collection and analysis schedule for the operational off-site radiological environmental monitoring program implemented in Pay,1977 was

, _. continued during 1979. This program was designed to monitor any ,

radioactivity contribution to the environs from the plant through either the airborne or waterborne pathways. The type of samples monitored, and ,

number and type of sampling stations are shown in Table 1. Indicator f sampling stations were located, where practical, at locations where detection of the radiological ef fects of the plant's operation was thought _ to be most ,

likely, where the samples collected should provide a significant indication .

of potential dose to man, and where an adequate comparison of predicted I radiological levels might be made with measured levels. The control stations

  • were placed at locations where radiological levels were not expected to be significantly influenced by plant operation, i.e., at background locations.

For some airborne radioactivity samples, community stations were located at the principal population centers between the indicator and the control stations (3-8 miles) . These in normal operation could be used, if desired, as additional control stations, and alternatively, as indicator stations in the nearest population centers in the event. of a major airborne release of radioactivity from the plant.

II. Radiological Sampling and Analysis A detailed outline of the operational radiological sampling and analysis activities for the of f-site environmental program is given in Tabic 2. The samples were collected by APCo's technical staf f except for the irt situ Cc(LL) gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements of soil. The latter were made by staf f

+ mem b ers of the University of Georgia, Center for Applied Isotope Studies.

Allisample analyses were contracted to either the. University of Georgia (U.Ca.)

or the Eberline Instrument Corporation (EIC) Santa Fe Facility. The minimum 1 detectable concentration (MDC), specified by the contractor laboratories for the various sampics and their respective analyses are given in Table 3. l 4

A number of sampling problems were encountered during 1979 which are listed in Tabic 4. Green leafy vegetables were not available at either indicator or control locations during much of the normal October-March growing season in the Farley Plant area. The air sampling stations at some locations, particularly at the North and South peri =eter stations, had repeated pump failures and/or low volumes due to incorrect flow rate'. s Repair of the special irl situ Ce(Li) detector by Princeton Camma-Tech for the University of Georgia required three full redrift cycles before the detector passed acceptable specifications. Measurements were conducted -

at the earliest possible time af ter repair of the detector.

A. Airborne Particulates and Iodine All of the airborne particulates and iodine monitoring stations

' - shcan in Figures I and 2 were equipped with Bell and Gossett vacuum punps which operate continuously at a flow rate of about 0.04 m 3/ min (1.5 ft /3 min). The particulates were collected on Gelman Metricel 1

50 mm filters. In series with, but downstream of the particulate filters, Cc1 man 50 mm activated charcoal cartridges (or equivalent) 2 were used for collection of iodine. The latter were =ounted horizon-tally to insure uniform airflow through the filter. The accumulative air flows were measured with Rockwell Gas Meters which were calibrated against a certified flow meter. Both the particulate filters and charcoal cartridges were co11ceted weekly and were sent to U. Ca. for radioactivity analysis.

~

Gross beta radioactivity measurements were made on each air particulate filter using a Ecchman Lowbeta II low background proportional counter. The filters from each station were composited and at the end of cach quarter were analyzed for gamma emitters using a eighteen percent relative ef ficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based multichannel analyzer (MCA). In addition, strontium-89, 90 were separated from the quarterly composite filters following the gamma-ray spectroscopy analyses and the beta activity measured using a Beckman Lowbeta II low background proportional counter.

~

The single separation, dual count technique was used for the determination of the strontium-89 and strontium-90 present. Stable strontium carrier was added to each sample for determination of the radiochemical yield.

All the air monitoring station locations shown in Figures 1 and 2 have the capability of mouO.oring airborne iodine. However, weekly routine samples were collected only at the stations listed in Table 2.

These were analyzed for iodine-131 by U. Ca. using a Canberra 1024 channel MCA and a special counter designed and built by the U. Ca. for counting iodine-131 activity in charcoal cartridges, using two 1 x 3 NaI(TI) detcetors and matched photomultiplier tub.cs.

B. External Radiation For the continuous measurement of environmental gamma radiation, natural LiF (TLD-100) chips were supplied and read by EIC.

TLD packets each containing five ultrasonically cleaned and annealed LiF chips were supplied on both a quarterly and an annual basis. The chips were first sealed in opaque polyethylene to give a packet that was light-tight, weather-proof, and which had a low mass attenuation for radiation (approximately 50 mg/cm2),

TVo control TLD packets were shipped with each quarterly and annual batch of TLD's as an indicator of any unusual exposure during transit, and at the plant site prior to, or af ter field exposure.

On the. plant site, all TLD packets were kept in a lead safe with

~. 2-inen walls except for those receiving field exposure or in the process of being exchanged. Control Packet No. I which had been rece:.ved with the new batch of TLD's and Control Packet No. 2 rece:.ved with the previous batch of TLD's were returned with the field exposed TLD's for a reading of their respective doses. The new Control Packet No. 2 remained in the safe until the next TLD exchange and the above procedure was repeated.

At each external radiation monitoring station, shown in Figures 1 and 2, two TLD packets, one changed and read quarterly and one changes and read annually, were exposed side-by-side on wooden stakes 1 at a height of one meter above the ground. For the computation of the

~

not field doses, a log of all exposure periods was maintained for each TLD packet.

C. Milk Milk samples were collected semi-monthly at the location shown in Figure 2 and were analyzed by U. of Ga. for iodine-131, gamma emitters, and strontium-89, 90 in accordance with the schedule shown in Tabic 2. As a preservative during shipment, 1 n1 of a 25 percent (by weight) merthiolate (Thimerasol) solution and 4 ml of a 6N NaOH solution were added to each 2.5 gallon sample.

The iodine-131 concentration in each sample was determined by collection on anion exchange resin, elution with sodium hypochlorite, and precipitation as silver iodine for measurement of the beta activity with a Beckman Lowbeta II low background proportional counter.

Stable iodine carrier was added to each sampic for determination of the radiochemical yleid.

Once each month a 0.6 liter sample was evaporated to dryness at 1000C using a thin plastic film to retain the residue. The residues uere then analyzed by U. of Ca. for gamma emitters using a -18 per cent relative ef ficiency low backgr6und Ge(L1) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer based MCA. -

Also, once each month for each sampling station, a one or two liter aliquot of milk was taken for radiostrontium analysis. Following an EDIA separation of calcium, the single separation dual count technique, using a Beckman Lowbeta II background proportional counter, was used for beta measurements. Following the second count, the 4

in-growth of ythium-90 determined. Stable strontium carrier as added for determination of radiochemical yield. From these data, the

  • strontium-90 and strontium-89 concentrations were calculated.

D. Vegetation

1. Forage once cach month, forage was collected from indicator grass plots located near the air monitoring stations at the plant site perimeter in sectors 9 (SSE) and 16 (N), and from a control grass plot located near the air monitoring station in Dothan. After drying and pulverizing the samples were analyzed by U. Ca. for gamma emitters using a 9 per cent

, ,, relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer based MCA.

2. Vegetables and Fruits
a. Green Icafy vegetables '

During the growing season, October through March, green Icafy vegetables were obtained monthly as available from gardens in the vicinity of the plant (1-3 miles) and from gardens in the Dothan area (>10 miles) and were analyzed ,

by U. Ca. for gamma emitters using a 18 per cent relative efficiency low background low background Ce(L1) detector, and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.

b. Other Vegetables and Fruits As.availabic, samples of the principal vegetables and fruits (non-green leafy) grown in the plant vicinity (1-3 miles) were obtained at harvest along with sampics from gardens in the Dothan area (>10 miles). The edible portions of these samples were prepared and analyzed for gamma emitters by U. Ca. using a 18 per cent relative ef ficiency low background Cc(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.

E. Soil Semi-annual in situ gamma-ray spectroscopy measurementd were made by U. Ga. using a 14 per cent relative efficiency Ge(Li) detector and gamma-ray spectroscopy system specially designed for field use, at the 9 indicator locations shown in Figure 1 and at the 6 community and con-trol (background) locations shown in Figure 2. A 1024 channel Canberra MCA was interfaced to a Hewlett-Packard 9825A calculator for data storage and analysis. .

F. Surface Water (River)

Samples of water from the Chattahoochee River, above and below the plant site at the locations shown in Figure 3, were collected on a semi-continuous basis with Instrumentation Specialties Cocpany (ISCO) samplers.

Monthly composites were sent to U. Ga. for radioactivity analysis. One liter aliquots from each monthly composite were placed in trays lined i with plastic film and evaporated to dryness at 100 C.. The residue and plastic film was folded to fit a petti-dish and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 18 per cent relative efficiency Ge(Li) low background detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.

, At the end of each quarter, for each sampling location, the balance of the three monthly composites were combined to give a quarterly com-posite sample. Approximately 50 m1 from each quarterly composite sample

.- was distilled and a 25 ml aliquot taken for tritium analysis using a large volume (100 ml) low background liquid scintillation counter specially designed and built by U. Ca. ,

r One liter aliquots were taken from the quarterly strontium-89, 90 composites, evaporated to dryness, acidified and the strontium converted to the carbonate for strontium-89, 90 analysis using the single separation dual count technique. Stable strontium carrier was used for determination ,

of radiochemical yield. The beta activity was determined using a Beckman

I. Fish (River)

On a semi-annual basis three types of fish - game, forage feeding, '

and bottom feeding - were collected from the Chattahoochee River at the locations shown in Figure 3 and were sent to U. of Ca. for gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis. The edible tissue was removed, dried, pulverized and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 18 per cent relative efficiency low background Cc(Li) detector and a 4096 channel Canberra computer-based MCA.

J. Sediment (River) r On a semi-annual basis sediment sampics were collected from the Chattahoochee River above and below the plant site at the locations shown in Figure 3. Approximately 1 kg from each sampling point was 4

sent to U. Ca. for gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis. The samples were dried, mixed, and analyzed using a 18 per cent relative ef ficiency low background Ce(L1) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.

Af ter completion of the gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis, the 1 kg i sample from each location was used for strontium-90 analysis. The sampics were dried, mixed, and a portion of each was treated with acid. The strontium was converted to the carbonate and the strontium-90 content determined using the singic separation dual count technique. The beta activity was measured with a Ecckman Lowbeta 11 low background proportional counter. Stable strontium carrier was added for determination of radiochemical yicid.

K. Groundwater (WeII) 1 In the Parley plant area, there are nn indicator sources of groundwater.in the true sense of the. definition. A well which serves the Creat Southern Paper as a source of potabic water, located on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River about four miles south-southeast j of the plant, was sampled on a quarterly basis and designated as an indicator station. A deep well which supplies water to King's Trailer Court located about 0.9 miles west of' the center of the plant was sampled on a quarterly basis end designated as a control (back-

After distillation, 25 mi samples were analyzed using a large volume (100 ml) low background liquid scintillation counter specially designed and built by U. Ca. From the remainder of each sample, a one liter aliquot was taken and evaportated to dryness at 1000C in a tray lined with plastic film. The residue and film was folded to fit a petri dish and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 18 relative per cent Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA. -

III. Results and Discussion

,. In contrast to the 1978 operational reporting period, no atmospheric nucicar tests were conducted by the Peoples Republic of China during this operational period. Thus, the radioactivity detected and measured was primarily from natural sources with traces of long half-life fission products from weapons tests during prior years.

For measurements involving radioactivity concentrations by volume or mass the designation " minimum detectabic concentration" (MDC) is used to denote the limit of detection applicable at the 95 percent confidence level.

The IDC is defined as "the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a campic that will be detected with 95 percent probability with only'5 percent proba'vility of falsely concluding its present". For a particular measurement,

, which may include radiochemical separation:

MDC = 4.66 Sb 2.22 EMY l where MDC is the estimated minimum detectable concentration as defined above (pCi per unit mass or volume)

Sb is the standard deviation of the background counting rate for the sample being analyzed (a posteriori) or of a blank sample (a priori) as appropriate (counts per minute) i 2.22 is the' number of transformations per picocurie per '

minute E is the counting efficiency (counts per transformation)

- M is the weight of sample in kilograms or volume of sample in liters, as applicable Y is the fractional radiochemieni yield (when applicable)

-s'

o (26)

For measurements involving a quantity of radioactivity or radiation that is independent of the sample volume or mass the designation " lower limit of detection" (LLD) is used to denote the limit of detection applicable at the 95 percent confidence level. The LLD is defined as "the smallest amount of sample activity that will yield a net count for which there is confidence at a predetermined level that activity is present". It's'applica-tions are limited to measurement systems which denote a limiting detection capability without respect to the size of sample and/or radiochemical yield and to measurements which by their nature do not involve concentrations, such as radiation does rates (mrad /hr. , mrad /qtr. , etc.) -

A. Airborne Particulates and Iodine The results of the radioactivity analyses of airborne particulate filters and iodine charcoal cartridges are shown in Table F03-1. The mean gross beta activity values were identical for the indicator and control sampling locations. The community location value was slightly higher, but is not considered significant. The values were much lower than the preoperational period, which was influenced by two atmospheric nuclear weapons tests.

The gamma ray spectroscopy data for the air particulate filters showed only traces of cesium-137 in one indicator and three community sampling locations. Strontium-90 was found in most of the indicator, community and control location samples at levels considerably below that found during the preoperational sampling period. All iodine-131 values were below the measurement !@C.

B. External Radiation The results of the external radiation measurements using TLD packets, each containing five LiF chips, are shown in Table F03-2. Because of differences in soil radioactivity site specific differences in external radiation levels are reflected in these data. The mean values for the annual TLD's were lower than the four quarterly TLD's for the same locations, which is the reverse of that noted during the p teoperational period and the 1978 operational period when other facilities of EIC were supplying and reading the TLD's. As previously noted, the difference was greater for the indicator locations than for the community and control locations. There are examples of the unexplainabic variability in results, which were noted during the preoperational period from the use of LiF TLD's to measure external radiation levels. (?!0TE: At some TLD measurement locations duplicate TLD packets were exposed for QA purposes, thus the number of TLD values reported exceeds the number of external radiation measurement locations shown in Table 2.)

C. Milk The results from the analysis of milk for radioactivity.are shown in Table F03-3. Milk from the' Brooks-Silcox Dairy was sampled as the control. No indicator milk locations were availabic for comparison during 1979. Other than natural radioactivity only strontium-89 and strontium-90 were found in some samples at detectable levels.

D. Vegetation .

The vegetation sampled during this operational period included forage, green leafy vegetables and food crops grown +1n the area. The radioactivity analysis results for this operational period are shcun in Table F03-4.

Forage, as during the preoperational period, continued to be a very effective and sensitive indicator of airborne radioactivity. The specific activity values for the various gamma emitting radio-nuclides were not significantly dif ferent for the indicator locations and the control location. Of the man-made radioisotopes, only cesium-137 were found in a small number of forage samples. This was quite a contrast to the pre-operational and 1978 operational periods when many man-made radioisotopes from nuclear weapons test fallout were measured. As noted during the preoperational period, the vegetables and fruits sampled during the summer were poor indicators of airborne radioactivity.

Occasionally cesium-137 was measured at levels near its MDC in both the indicator and control samples.

E. Soil The results of the in situ Ge(L1) gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis of soil during this operational period are shown in Table F03-5.

Cesium-137 was measured at all locations in detectable quantities.

Ilowever, the differences between indicator and control locations were not significant.

F. Wa terbo rne : Surface and Ground Water The results of radioactivity analyses of surface water from the Chattahoochee River and ground water from wells are shoun in Table F03-6.

No significant.dif ference was noted for tritium in the indicator and control station samples. During the preoperational period a number of man-made and natural radionuclides were detected on a comewhat random basis at very low concentrations in both th surf ace and ground water sampics.

(28)

G. Aquatic Vegetation (River)

The results of the radioactivity analysis of aquatic vegetation from the Chattanoochee River are shown in F03-7. Only strontium-90 l was found at a detectable level at the indicator location in one sample  !

and this was significantly lower than for the preoperational period.

i H. Benthos: Clams t The results of the radioactivity analysis of tissue from Chattahoochee River clams are shown in Table F03-8. As noted during the preoperational period clams appear to be a poor indicator for waterborne radioactivity, since only strontium-90 was at a detectable

, level in one sample.

I. Fish: River The results of gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis of the edible portions of three types of fish taken from the Chattahoochee River ,are shown in Table F03-9. As was noted during the preoperational period, Cesium-137 was the only man-made radionuclide found in excess of the measurement MDC.

l J. Sediment: River

, The results of radioactivity analysis of sediment samples from the ,

t Chattahoochee River are shown in Table F03-10. No man-made radionuclides were found in the samples. The results were typical of those found during the preoperational period.

IV. Conclusion

During this operational period there was no evidence to indicate any increase in airborne or waterborne environmental radioactivity as the result of plant operation. This conclusion resulted from a comparison of indicator and control location values, as well as, with data for the preoperational surveillance period. This conclusion is supported by the very small quantities of radioisotopes measured in the plant ef fluents discharged to the environment, as reported in the semi-annual radioactive effluent release reports for 1979.
