N Policy Issue 7: M0filTOP,ING AND SURVEILLAfiCE,0F FACILITIES Objectig : To determine the roles of Federal acencies, State governments, and non-Fe(eral groups in monitoring and surveillance of Federal and non-Federal facilities that use or produce radioactive materials where the potential exists for releases of radioactive material to the environment. Discussion: Although many agencies have responsibilities for the monitorino and surveillance of Federal and independent facilities, there is concern that these responsibilities are not fully coordinated or used efficiently. Agencies are irvclved in a variety of monitoring and surveillance activities such as: making measurements, developino radiation detection devices and measurement protocols, overseeing treasurement activities of facility operators, certification, and instrument calibration. Yet there is no overall policy reoardino the monitorino 's. and surveillance of these facilities. Amonc the specific topics to be addressed are: - Should independent monitoring be carried out in Federal facilities d and/or non-Federal facilities? If the measurements are made by the facility operator, should there be active independent oversight or surveillance of the monitoring? Should the Federal government develop a broad set of quality assurance guidelines to be used where there is not independent monitorino? Should all occupational monitoring of Federal facilities be conduct ed by OSHA? Would OSHA have the capability to carryout the monitorino or oversight of monitoring activities? - Should EPA or another Federal agency coordinate a nationwide environ-mental radiation monitoring program and provide funds, guidance and technical assistance to the States for it? If so, v. hat should be the characterics of the program. - What role, if any, should States and non-governmental public groups have in monitoring and surveillance activities of Federal facilities or Federally reculated facilities.

Dear Congrecsman Studds:

Thank you fe; forwarding to us the inquiry trom your coastituent, William A. Caswell, concerning monitoring the radiation received by residents living near nuclear ower plants. While it appears that Mr. Caswell's principal concern is measuring radioactivity levels in the body, radiation is also received from radioactive materials external to the body. In fact, in most instances, external radiation exposure is the greatest contributor to the dose received by individuals. There is no simple, inexpensive device which would monitor the internal radioactivity levels in residents living near nuclear pwer plants. Past experience has shown that emissions of radioactive materials from the routine operation of nuclear power reactors are generally too low to result in any measurable increase in the internal radioactivity levels of nearby residents. Internal levels of certain radioactive materials can be monitored by measuring radiation emitted from within the body by a technique known as whole-body nunting, requiring sophisticated, expensive instruments. Such monitoring was done on approximately 750 residents living within three miles of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station following the March 28, 1979 accident. No abnormal radioactivity levels attributable to radionuclides from either the accident or the normal operation on the Three Mile Island plant were found. There are relatively inexpensive devices that can be used to monitor radiation doses from external sources such as noble gases and other radionuclides. These devices, called thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's), are used in the vicinity of nuclear power stations, such as the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, to measure radiation levels around the facility. In addition to the thermo-luminescent dosimeters placed by licensees, subsequent to the iMI-2 accident the NRC also has increased the number of TLD's that it has placed around operating nuclear reactors, including the Pilgrim site. Rather than monitor individual residents, we require nuclear reactor 2 licensees to monitor effluents, both prior to release and during release. We also require environmental si: veillance programs to measure external doses and the radioactivity levels in air, water, and foods. A copy of the effluent

Congressman Studds, and environmental ~ surveillance requirements for the Pilg. im Nuclear Power Station is enclosed. The results obtained from the environmental surveillance program would be ayailable in the local public document room. The local public document room for the Pilgrim Nuclear Station is located at: Plymouth Public Library North Street Plymouth, Massachusetts 02360 617-746-1923-Mr. Caswell might also be interested in knowing that the issue of radiation monitoring around nuclear facilities is one of the agenda topics for the Federal Radiation Policy Council. A statement of the issues that will be - considered in this regard is enclosed. If Mr. Caswell wishes to provide comments to the Radiation Policy Council he may send them to: Mr. Carl R. Gerber, Executive Director Radiation Policy Council Staff c/o Office of Science and Technology Policy Executive Office of the President 'New Executive Office Building Room 3105 Washington, D.

i? Policy Issue 7: !40NITORIfiG Af4D SURVEILLAf4CE,0F FACILITIES Objective: To determine the roles of Federal aoencies, State governments, and non-Federal groups in monitoring and surveillance of Federal and non-Federal facilities that use or produce radioactive materials where the potential exists for releases of radioactive material to the environment. Discussion: Altbcuph many agencies have responsil,ilities for the monitorino and surveillance of Federal and independent facilities, there is concern that these respor.sibilities are not fully coordinated or used efficiently. Agencies are involved in a variety of monitoring and surveillance a"tivities such as: making measurements, developing radiation detection devices and measurement protocols, i overseeing creasurement activities of facility operators, certification, and instrument calibration. Yet there is no overall policy regarding the monitorino w and surveillance of these facilities. Anonc the specific topics to be addressed are: - Should independent monitoring be carried out in Federal f acilities 9 and/or non-Federal facilities? If the measurements are made by the facility operator, should there be active independent oversight or surveillance of the monitoring? Should the Federal government develop a broad set of quality assurance guidelines to be used where there is not independent monitorina? - Should all occupational monitoring of Federal facilities be conducted by OSHA? Wculd OSHA have the capability to carryout the monitorino or oversight of monitoring activities? Should EPA or another Federal agency coordinate a nationwide environ-mental radiation monitoring program and provide funds, guidance and technical assistance to the States for it? If so, what should be the characterics of the program. L' hat role, if any, should States and non-covernmental public groups have in monitoring and surveillance activities of Federal facilities or Federally reaulated facilities. ENCLOSURE 2}}
