" Allowable Total Releases," show the allowable yearly aver-age releases based on actual plant conditions, i.e.,

one or two blower operation whichever had occurred during the month, and any recalibrations which had been performed on the off-gas monitor.

LACBWR Technical Specification limits for liquid effluent-are limited to 1 MPC values after dilution averaged over i.no year.

The values reported in Table I, Liquid Releases,' Items I

Ib, c, and d; 2b'and c; 3b and c; and 4b are based on dilu-tion with plant site circulating water flow only.

No credit is taken for further dilution in the mixing zone of the Mis-sissippi River, shown as Item 5, Average Stream Flow.

2) Maximum Permissible Concentration (MPC)

The MPC used to c,alculate permissible release rates.are ob-tained from 10 CFR 20, Appendix D, Tables I and II.

In addi-tion, the following values.are used. -

3 x 10 'pCi/ml.

Tritium in Wai.er

=

Tritium in Air 2 x 10 # pCi/cc.

=

3) Average Energy The release rato limits for LACBWR are not based on average energy.
4) Measurement Methods Liquid effluent measurements for gross radioactivity are performed by gamma analysis on a Ge-Li detector for each l

tank discharged.

A composite sample is created by collect-ing representative amounts from each tank batch discharged and it is analyzed monthly for Tritium, Strontium 89 and 90, and Gross alpha activity.

In addition, each tank is analyzed for alpha concentration and the higher of these tao analysis is the basis for the values reported in Table I, line 4.

Airborne gaseous effluents are determined by gamma analysis on a Go-Li detector of samples from the various flow paths.

The analysis includes a determination of gaseous halogen content.

Airborne particulate and particulate halogen releases are determined by gamma analysis on a Ge-Li detector of weekly samples of stack discharges on glass fiber filter paper and charcoal cartridge absorbants.

5) Batch Releases All airborne effluent releases at LACBWR are Continuous-Elevated Release point type releases.

All liquid effluent releases at LACBWR are Batch Releases and the requested information is included in Table I, Item 8.

6) Abnormal Releases No abnormal releases occurred during this reporting period at LACBWR.

1.0 Introduction The La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor, also known as Genoa #2, is located on the east bank of the Mississippi River at Genoa, Vernon County, Wisconsin.

The plant was designed and constructed by the Allis-Chalmers Manufac-turing Company.

It was completed in 1967 and has a gener-ation capacity of 52 Mw(9) 165 Mw th The reactor is owned and operated by Dalryland Po(wer). Cooperative (DPC).

The reactor went critical in July 1967 and first con-tributed electricity to DPC's system in April 1968.

After completing full power tests in August 1969, the plant has been operating between 60% and 100% of full power, with the exception of plant shutdowns for maintenance and repair.

During 1979 the plant's plant factor has been 50%.

The monitoring program at the LACBWR facility includes monitoring of liquid and gaseous releases from the plant as

' I well as environmental samples of sr.rface air, river water, rain water, sediment, milk, fish, vegetation and penetra-ting radiation.

The penetrating radiation is measured by thermoluminescent dosimetry (TLD).

The program is conducted to the extent necessary to ensure that releases of radioactivity to the environment do not result in radiation doses to the surrounding population, which exceed established radiation protection regulations.

This monitoring report includes the pericd from January 1,

1979 to December 31, 1979.

The report includes a descrip-tion of the environmental samples collected, analytical methods and the results from these analyses.

A map of the general vicinity surrounding LACBWR is provided for the reader so that he may determine the spatial relationship of the plant to the surrounding area.

The map includes the plant boundary, roads, other generating plants, relation of the plant site to the nearest local community as j

shown in Figure 1.

h Figure 2 is a map that pinpoints the location of the environmental sampling stations for surface air, rain water, milk, vegetation and TLD's.

This map will allow the reader to determine the spatial relationship of the plant to the surrounding sampling stations.

2.0 Sample Collection The sampling frequency of the various environmental samples and the analyses performed on these samples are shown in Table IV.

The number of various samples col-lected and analyzed in 1979 appear in Table V.

I The penetrating radiation dose is measured by thermo-luminescent dosimeters consisting of five lithium fluoride (LiF) chips.

The TLD's are located in the vicinity of the plant on poles, trees and adjacent to air samplers.

The TLD's are collected, shipped and then analyzed by the Eberline Instrument Company.

Air samples are collected continuously at seven sites, six of which are within three miles of the plant and the seventh used as a control, located eighteen miles north of the plant in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Particulate air samples are collected at the rate of approximately 1 cfm with Gelman Air Samplers.

The air filter consists of two filters - one a membrane filter with an associated pore size of 0.45p and an activated charcoal filter for iodine collection.

The particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta gamma activity and the activated charcoal filters for 23l I.

River and rain water samples are collected monthly.

River water samples above and below the plant site are col-lected and gross beta gamma activity determined on a one-liter sample.

i A four-liter milk sample is collected from three farms in the vicinity of the plant on a biweekly basis during the grazing season.

The milk samples are then i

23l 80 analyzed for I and Sr, with a minimum sensitivity of 1 pCi/ liter.

l Vegetation samples arO cc11ected twice per year from nearby farms and isotopic analysis performed by gamma spectroscopy, i

Sediment samples are collected twice a year below the plant and an isotopic analysis performed.

l Fish samples are purchased on a monthly basis from commercial fishermen.

The fish are from Pool #8 above the plant, and Pool #9 below the plant.

I 3.0 Results of the 1979 Environmental Monitoring Survey 3.1 Penetrating Radiation The thermoluminescent dosimeters are changed on a quarterly basis and analyzed for dose by the Eberline Instrument Corporation.

The resulte of the analysis are shown on Table VI.

The highest measured on-site dose from LACBWR operations was to the adjacent coal-fired power plant, Genoa #3 (Environmental Station: #10).

This dose was approximately 29 mrem / quarter.

Tne average dose per quarter attributable to LACBWR operations at all off-site environmental stations during the year was <1 mrom/

quarter, with a maximum of 4 mrem / quarter at Station #17 during the fourth quarter of 1979.

3.2 Air Particulate The gross Beta-Gamma activity from the air particu-late filters are shown in Table VII.

Theairpagticulate Beta-Gamma activity ranged from.017

.136 pCi/M The air particulate activity in the vicinity of the site fol-lowed the trends indicated at the Cor4 trol Station.

3.3 Precipitation and River Samples The results of the gross Beta-Gamma activities from precipitation and river water are shown in Tables VIII and IX.

The river water samples taken above and below the plant exhibited similar patterns in activity over the year.

The precipitation samples taken in the vicinity of LACBWR ranged from <2 to 29 pCi/1.

3.4 Sediment Samples Sediment samples were collected from above and below the outfall of the plant.

The results of the gamma spec-troscopy analysis indicate that small amounts of radio-isotopes are found in the sediments.

Overall, there has been no significant buildup of radioisotopes in the sedi-ment samples during the past several years.

3.5 Milk Samples Milk samples were collected on a biweekly basis dur-ing the grazing season from three dairy farms in the vicin-I'l ity of LACBWR.

The samples were analyzed for I and

Sr with a detection limit of 1 pCi/1.

The average con-tent of Sr in the milk samples was 4.55 pCi/1.

I 1

1 3.6 Activated Charcoal Filter The analysis of the activated charcoal filter for 333 I was performed by compositing all of the charcoal filters collected during a one-week period.

The results shown in Table XII indicate all samples were well within established guidelines.

3.7 Vegetation Six vegetation samples were collected and analyzed in 1979, the results of which are shown in Table XIII.

3.8 Fish Fish samples were collected above and below the plant; the results of the gamma spectroscopy analysis are shown in Table XIV.

The results indicate there has been no significant accumulation of radioisotopes in fish in the vicinity of the plant.
