DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I ~ ABSTRACT This report describes the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted during 1980 in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station. The Radiological Environmental Program consists of on-slte sampling of water and gaseous effluents and off-site monitoring of water, air, river sediments, soils, food pathway samples, and radiation levels in the vicinity of the site. This report discusses the results of this monitoring during 1980. The environmental program outlined in the Beaver Valley Power Station Technical Specifications was followed throughout 1980. There were no radioactive liquid effluents released from the Shippingport Atomic Power Station since radioactive liquids are processed and re-cycled within the plant systems. The results of this environmental monitoring program show that Shippingport Atomic Poser Station and Beaver Valley Power Station operations have not adversely affected the surrounding environment.

I I SECTION I DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY l 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I I. INTRODUCTION The 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report for the Beever Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station summarizes the radiological environmental program conducted by the Duquesne Light Company in 1980. The Duquesne Light Company operates the Shippingport Atomic Power Station for the United States Department of Energy and the Beaver I Valley Power Station pressurized water reactor - Unit No. 1 as part of the CAPCO pool. Beave.r Valley No. 2 Unit was under construction in 1980 and is scheduled to start-up in 1986. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station operated throughout 1980, with the gross electrical generation during the year of 384,750 megawatt-hours. The plant has been in operation utilizing a light water breeder reactor (LWBR) core since September 21, 1977. I The Shippingport Atomic Power Station was the first large-scale central station nuclear reactor in the United States. Since initial power generation in December, 1957, operation of the pressurized water reactor at the Shippingport plant has supplied power to the I Duquesne Light Company system in addition to providing technology which has served as a basis for the development of pressurized water reactors in the nuclear industry. The highest average daily output generated at the Beaver Valley Power Station during the year was 808 megawatts net in December, 1980. The total gross electrical generation during the year was 349,400 megawatt-hours. A. Scope and Objectives of the Program The environmental program consists of effluent and environmental monitoring for radioactivity. Liquid and gaseous effluents from I the Beaver Valley Power Station and gaseous effluents from the Shippingport Atomic Power Station were collected, processed, sampled, and analyzed to ensure conformance with the applicable regulations and permits prior to their release to the environment. I Environmental sampling and analyses included air, water, milk, soil, vegetation, river sediments, fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surroundiag both plants. I I I
I I SECTION I DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I I. INTRODUCTION B. Descri* tion of the Shippingport and Beaver Valley Site The Shippingport Atomic Power Station and the Beaver Valley Power Station are located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the I Borough of Shippingport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on a 486.8 acre tract of land which is owned by the Duquesne Light Company. Figure 1.0 is an artist's view of both stations. The site is approximately one mile from Midland, Pennsylvania; 5 miles from East Liverpool, Ohio; and 25 miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Figure 1.1 shows the site location in relation to the principal I population centers. Population density in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. There are no residents within a 1/2 mile radius of either plant. The population within a 5 mile radius of the plant is approximately 18,000 and the only I area of concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, Pennsylvania, with a population of approximately 5,000. The site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. It extends from the river (elevation 665 feet above sea level) to a ridge along the border south of the Shippingport and Beaver Valley Power Stations at an elevation of 1,160 feet. Plant entrance level at I both stations is approximately 735 feet above sea level. The two (2) stations are situated on the Ohio River at river I mile 34.8, at a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is 3.3 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam, and 19.4 miles upstream from New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The I Pennsylvania-Ohio-West Virginia border is located 5.2 river miles downstream from the site. The river flow is regulated by a series of dams and reservoirs on the Beaver, Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers and their tributaries. Flow ranges from a minimum of 5000 cubic feet per second (CFS) to a maximum of 100,000 CFS. The mean annual flow is approximately 25,000 CFS. Water temperature of the Ohio River varies from a minimum of 32 F to 84 F, the minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures _n July and August. Water quality in the Ohio River at the site location is affected primarily by the water quality of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Beaver rivers. The climate of the area may be classified as humid continental. Annual precipitation is approximately 33 inches typical yearly 3 I temparatures vary from approximately -3 F to 95 F with an annual average temperature of 52.8 F. The predominant wind direction is typically from the southwest in summer and from the northwest in winter. I 1980 Annual o g ca r n= ental Report - v -t 0{.

Because the two systems are isolated from each other, primary and secondary I waters do not mix; therefore, radioactivity in the primary system water is normally isolated from the secondary system. Reactor coolant in the primary system is pumped through the I reactor core and steam generators by means of reactor coclant pumps.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Plant operations at both the Beaver Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station had no adverse effects on the environment as a result of activities at either of the stations during 1980.. Comparisons of pre-operational data with operational I data indicates the ranges of values are in good agreement for both periods of time. The Shippingport Atomic Power Station operated throughout 1980; Beaver Valley Power Station experienced an extensive outage for major modifications ac required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. During the year, the radioactive releases from both stations were below the I limits of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I and applicable permits for each station. The releases at Beaver Valley Power Station did not exceed the limiting conditions identified in the Beaver Valley Power Station I Operating License Technical Specifications. These releases are summarized in Tables IV.A.3 and IV.A.4 of this report. The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for CY 1980 is generally similar to that of CY 1979. There have been a number of modifications in the details such as number and location of sample points for selected media, the sampling and analysis frequency of some media and the specific analysis performed. (Refer to Table V.A.1 for the 1980 Radiological Monitoring Program outline.) A major portion of these modifications reflect the requirements of I the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's version of the standardized Effluent Technical Specifications for PWRs (for implementation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I) as set forth in NUREG-0472, Revision 2 (January, 1980) and interpreted by NUREG-0133 " Preparation of Radiological I Effluent Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants." These requirements are the basis for industry-wide uniform technical speci-fications for PWRs (such as Beaver Valley Power Station) as related l to radiological effluents and environmental monitoring programs. l 1 5 Proposed revisions to Beaver Valley Technical Specifications have been prepared in accordance with these requirements and have been i submitted to the NRC for approval. The Radiological Environmental l Monitoring Program for 1980 is a transitional program reflecting both l the current Technical Specifications and the pending Technical Speci-l fications. A few additional analyses which were originally incorporated l into the environmental monitoring program in order to obtain information l on ambient levels in environmental samples were deleted from the 1980 l program. Sufficient data was collected during prior years to pro dde l g adequate measure of these ambient activity levels. While the abo,e g changes result in variations in details in the 1980 program, :he over-l all function and results are not impaired. ' I I
SECTION II DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I II. RESUL1 nND CONCLUSIONS (continued) The results of the 1980 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program a re onsistent with those of previous years. Radioactivity above normal t.ent levels in the environs was detected in some analysis but these slight increases are attributed to the nuclear weapons test on October 16, 1980 by the People's Republic of China. Examrtation of effluent data from the Beaver Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station demonstrate that none of the slightly elevated results are attributable to the operation of either power station. For the CY 1980, no analytical results of any of the environmental samples exceeded the Beaver Valley Technical Specification reporting limits. When detectable environmental radioactivity occurred, it was comparable to the national levels of radioactivity in the environ-ment and resulted in negligible exposure to members of the public. A summary of the 1980 operational environmental data (ranges and means) I for each sampling media is found in Table V.A.3. A summary of preop-erational (1974 - 1975) environmental data is found in Table V.A.4. The People's Republic of Ctina tested a nuclear weapons device on October 16, 1980. This test resulted in a slight increase in the radioactivity of certain media during November and December, 1980. In general, these increases are less than that associated with previous tests. The time periods in which the increase of activity in certain environmeatal media was seen corresponded to the passage of the plume over this part of the United States. This, along with the radionuclides found in some media samples, confirms that this slight increase was attributable to the Chinese test rather than a nuclear power plant. The Beaver Valley Power Station Technical Specifications require sampling of four (4) dairies which have the highest calculated milk pathway potential. These four dairies are determined from calculations I based on the meteorological data and the latest milch animal survey. However, these dairies are frequently small, consisting of as few as one cow or goat. The availability of milk from single cow dairies and revisions due to updated calculations and surveys result in sampling of I several additional dairies during the year in different sampling periods. In order to provide continuity in the sampling / analyses program, the I environmental monitoring program includes three larger dairies. Samples from each of these dairies are obtained each month in addition to the four dairies required by the Environmental Technical Specifications. I During some sampling periods, one or all of the additional dairies could be among the four required dairies. Thus, there were at least four and possibly as many as seven dairies sampled in any sampling ieriod. The collection periods associated with each of the w ations is provided ) in the detailed summary of the milk monitoring program Of this report (Section V-E). I i SECTION II DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report II. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS (continued) Lessoas learned from the Three Mile Island incident indicated the need for more radiation monitors in all sectors surrounding the plant. In the l 1980 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, twenty-eight (28) new l sites were added to the existing thirteen (13) TLD radiation monitoring sites. Engineering and procurement are in progress for 16 Reuter-Stokes Pressurized Ion Chamber environmental radiation monitors to be used to I circle the plant site, one in each of the 16 sectors. Installation of the monitors and system operation is planned for mid-1981. Engineering is in progress to upgrade and modify the BVPS meteorological system to meet requirements in U.S. NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23, Rev. 1, and U.S. I NUREG-0654, Appendix 2. The Reuter Stokes radiation monitors and the upgraded meteorological system will be tied into a new computer network to help meet some of the requirements set forth in U.S. NRC NUREG-0654 (Criteria for Preparational Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants) and U.S. NRC NUREG-0737 (TMI Action Plan Requirements). The complete meteorological system modifications and new computer network are still I in the plaaa4.ng stage and a preliminary operational date is planned for October, 1982. 1 l l l 1 l 1 I SECTION III DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report III. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CONSIDERATIONS A. Environmental Quality Control Programs The Quality Control (QC) Program used for the Beaver Valley - Shippingport Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Program consisted of eight (8) elements. It should be opted that the comparisons made were at very low levels of raaloactivity and consequently, the activities at these levels are difficult to measure. However, acceptable correlation was achieved in most instances as outlined in the discussions and tables which follow. 1. Radiation Monitoring (Duquesne Light Company (DLC) Contractor Laboratory - DLC OC Laboratory - Independent Laboratory) An independent program of external radiation monitoring was conducted by the QC Laboratory using lithium fluoride TLDs sharing the same location as the DLC Contractor Laboratory TLDs and Independent Laboratory TLDs. Summary data of the QC Laboratory program is provided in Table III.l. Duplicate contractor TLD, QC TLD, Annual TLD, and Independent Lab TLD and continuous integrating monitoring by a Pressurized Ion Chamber (PIC) show generally gcod agreement aad demonstrate acceptable performance by the DLC Contractor Laboratory. The arithmetic mean of each laboratory agrees within + 6% of the arithmetic mean of the three laboratories. This is well within the precision of a typical TLD system. 2. Split Sample Program (DLC Contractor Laboratorv - DLC QC Laboratorv Samples of surface (river) water and drinking water were routinely split and analyzed by the DLC Contractor Laboratory and the DLC QC Laboratory. In addition, samples of other media, I such as milk, soil, sediment and feederop were also split with I the DLC QC Laboratory (a laboratory of the Department of Energy). l l A summnry of results of split water samples is provided in ' E Table III.2. A summary of milk, sediment, and feed / food crop split samples is provided in Table III.3. Some variation is expected due to small varir. cions in duplicate samples, varia-tions in analytical proceuures, and in calibration, source type, etc. Because of the overall ur.iformity of comparable results, it is concluded that the two laboratories are consistent and in agreement. -

I SECTION III DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I III. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CONSIDERATIONS 3. DLC QC Laboratory Program Spiked samples prepared by DLC QC Laboratory were routinely submitted to the Contractor Laboratory for analysis. Tables I III.4 (water) and III.5 (milk) provide data from this portion of the QC program. The results demonstrate that the contractor performed acceptably in the program. 4. Comparisons of similar Samples (DLC Contractor _ Laboratory - DLC QC Laboratory) Duplicate air particulate and charcoal filters (radiciodine) samples were collected at Location #30 and compared during the year on a weekly basis. Comparison of particulate and I charcoal samples alternated from week to week. Duplicate monthly air particulate filters, composited from the weekly air particulate filters, are analyzed every other month for I gamma activity. Duplicate quarterly air particulate filters, composited fram the weekly air particulate filters, are analyzed for Sr-89, Sr-90 and alpha activity for the first and third quarters of the year. Table III.6 provides data I for this portion of the Q.C. program. The results demonstrate thiti the contractor performed acceptably in the program. 5. Contractor Internal QC Program The Duquesne Light Company Contractor Laboratory maintained its own QC Program which included participation in the I Environmental Protection Agency - Environmental Monitoring Safety Laboratory (EPA - EMSL) Interlaboratory Cross Check Program. This cross check program indicated that the I Contractor Laboratory results were in agreement with EPA - EMSL. DLC also audited the Contractor Laboratory and determined that internal QC practices were in effect and that procedures and laboratory analytical techniques I conformed to approved DLC procedures.

SECTION IZI DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY I 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report III. ENVIRONMENTAL MOVITORING CONSIDERATIONS I 6. Special QC Program (DLC Contractor Laboratory - Independent Laboratory - DLC QC Laboratory) Milk and water samples were prepared quarterly by an Independent Laboratory. This included low level spiking of specified nuclides. The prepared samples were split three ways and analyzed by the DLC-QC Laboratory and Independent Laboratory as well as the Contractor Laboratory. A sur:: mary of results of this portion of the QC program is I provided in Table III.7. The results show generally good agreement between the laboratories and demonstrate that the contractor perforn:ed acceptably in the program. 7. Nuclear Regulatory Com.nission (NRC) Program The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) also conducted a I surveillance program 32 the vicinity of the site. Samples of air, river water, drinking water, milk, vegetation, fish and radiation monitoring are included in their program. I The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's radiological laboratory is utilized by the NRC for analyzing these samples. Comparison of results also indicated agreement between the NRC Laboratory and the Duquesne Light Company Contractor laboratory. B. Evaluation of the Quality Control (QC) Program Data I The split sample program indicates that the Contractor laboratory is performing satisfactorily. In addition, three (3) independent laboratories are used to supplement the regular program. Compari-sons between the independent laboratories and the Contractor laboratory is acceptable, but review of the Q.C. spiked sample programs indicated that the Contractor laboratory analyses for radiostrontium and Iodine-131 may have a slightly low bit.s as I compared to the Q.C. Laboratory analyses. It was determined I that the bias low results of the rzdiostrontium analyses was caused primarily by incomplete separation of calcium from I strontium in the Sr (NO )2 precipitation step of the radio-3 strontium procedure. Traces of calcium carry over to the final strontium mount added to its mass and caused the apparent gravi-metric Sr yield tn be too high. This resulted in the slight low I bias of the calculated Sr-89 and Sr-90. An improved technique for more complete strontium separation from calcium was put into effect by the Contractor laboratory in November, 1980. While I this condition may have caused slightly lower analytical results for strontium in a few environmental samples, the bias was small enough that it does not change the basic conclusions of the I environmental radiological monitoring program. It was also I E
SECTION III DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I"II. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CONSIDERATIONS determined that the variation in the analytical results including Iodine-131 was due to the fact that both the Q.C. Laboratory and the Independent Laboratory spiked samples were not stabilized with the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium bisulfit: to prevent the radionuclides from plating out on the sample bottle walls I and the loss of Iodine-131. Both laboratories have been notified to add the concentrated hydrochloric acid and sodium bisulfite to the spiked Q.C. samples in the same concentrations as added to the envir-I onmental samples. This condition, while affecting the Q.C. spiked sample analyses, did not affect the environmental sampl. analyses. The latter environmental samples are treated with these etabilizing chemicals at the time of collection. I Based on all available Q.C. data and the data from the Contractor's internal EPA Interlaboratory Cross Check Program, the Environmental I Monitoring Program for 1980 is acceptable with respect to both accuracy and precision of measurement. C. Standard Requirements and Limitations for Radiological and Other Effluents The Shippingport and Beaver Valley Power Stations are gcVerned I by rules and regulations of the Federal Government and the Commc.nwealth of Pennsylvania. Effluent releases at both stations are controlled to ensure that limits set by Federal or State governments are not exceeded. In addition, self-l imposed limits have been established to further limit discharges l to the environment. I l Shippingport Atomic Power Station is operated in compliance with l regulations and permits involving radioactive and other effluents. Limits noted in Department of Energy (D.O.E.) Manual Chapters 0513 I and 0524, Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) Standards No. 1-70 and 2-70, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources - Industrial Waste Permit #1832, and Environmental l l Protection Agency (EPA) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination i Systut (NPDES) Permit #PA-0001589, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Industrial Waste Permit No. 0472205, and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Radio-active Gaseous Discharge Permit are observed and follow.4. Beaver Valley Power Station is subject to regulations which include the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PDER) Industrial Waste Permit #0473211, Sewage Treatment Facilities Permit #0472411, Gaseous Discharge Permit #04-306-001, PA Code - Title 24, Part I, I Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO) Standards No. 1-70 and 2-70, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit #0025615, I and the Beaver Valley Power Station Technical Specifications. ' = SECTION III DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I III. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CONSIDERATIONS D. Significant Changee and Reporting Levels Statistically significant changes in radiological environmental monitoring results are defined as the median value (M) plus two (2) times the 95% confidence interval (N), or ten (10) times the l lower limit of detection (LLD) for each sampling media analyzed t during the preoperational period 1972 - 1975. Analytical results ! l for sampling media noted in the Beaver Valley Power Station 3 Environmental Technical Specifications, which were greater than the statistically significant values determined in the pre-operational program (M + 2N or 10 x LLD), are values which require I reporting as an anomalous measurement. This report is forwarded to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission within ten (10) days after the completion of a confirming analysis. During the CY 1980, there were no analytical results of environmental samples which exceeded the reporting levels in the Beaver Valley Power Station Environmental Technical Specifications. l l I I

I SECTION IV DUQUENSE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report IV. MONITORING EFFLUENTS B.' Monitoring of Airborne Effluents 1. Description of Airborne Effluents a. Shippingport Atomic Power Station The potential source of airborne radioactivity associated with the Shippingport station is the radioactivity contained in the reactor coolant system. This system contains the activated I corrosion and wear products, activated impurities in reactor coolant, and small quantities of fission 1 products originated from naturally occurring uranium I impurity and could become airborne from reactor coolant, sampling operatiens, and maintenance and overhaul operations which require opening the system or working on contaminated components removed from the system. I Stringent radiological controls which have been developed during 23 years of operations at Shippingport are exercised during these operations to prevent radio-I activity from becoming airborne. Cobalt-60 is the nuclide of primary concern because of its long radio-active half-life and its concentration in reactor coolant. This radiocuclide, present in the form of I minute insoluble particles, could become airborne during maintenance operations on contaminated components removed from this system. However, strict radiological I surveillance is maintained throughout the operating plant, including continuous monitoring of airborne radioactivity in the operating spaces to ensure that concentrations are less than the uncontrolled area I limits specified in DOE Manual Chapter 0524. In addition, air exhausted from potentially contaminated areas, such as decontamination and maintenance areas, I is passed through high-efficiency pirticulate air filters. These filters are routinely serviced, changed, and tested in-place. I The principle environmental release point for the Shippingport Atomic Power Station is the containment ventilation exhaust. This point is continuously I monitored, and analyses are performed on charcoal cartridges weekly for I-131 and monthly for I-133 and I-135. Additionally weekly continuous air samples are obtained on fixed filter papers which are analyzed weekly for gross beta, and composited monthly to identify gamma emitting isotopes. Composite of the particulate filters are also analyzed monthly I for gross alpha determinations and quarterly for Sr-89 and Sr-90..A monthly gas sample is also obtained and analyzed for tritium.

Shipe.agport Atomic Power Station (continued) Reactor plant exhausts from the Decontamination Room, Sample Preparation Room, Laundry Room, Radiochemistry Laboratory, Gaseous Waste System, and Compacting Station are continuously sampled with fixed filter samplers. These samples are analyzed weekly for gross beta, and composited monthly to identify gamma emitting isotopas. Processing of noble gases (predominantly short lived Ic-133) is accomplished by collecting and storing the gases in Shippingport RWP vent gas system. After sampling and analysis, the gases are released when the storage tanks are full. Figure 4.6 shows a schematic diagram of the gaseous waste system in the - radioactive waste disposal system at Shippingport. b. Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS) The Beaver Valley Power Station identifies isotopes according to the Environmental Technical I Specifications and Regulatory Guide 1.21. Prior to waste gas decay tank batch releases and containment purge releases, an analysis of the principal gamma I esitters is performed. The principal gamma emitters ir_clude noble gases, iodines, and particulates. Figure 4.7 shews the gaseous radwaste system at Beaver Valley Power Station. The environmental release points also require specific nuclide identification. These points include the I Process Vent located on top of the Cooling Tower, the Ventilation Vent located on the top of the Auxiliary Building, and the Elevated Release Point located on top of the Containment. These points are continuously I monitored. Principal gamma e-titters and critium are analyzed on a monthly basis. Analysis is also done on charcoal cartridges for I-131, I-133, and I-135 that I have continuously sampled the gas stream for a week. Weekly continuous samples are also obtained on filter paper to identify the particulates gamma emitting isotopes. Compos 1w, 'f the particulate samples are I analyzed monthly for gross alpha determinations and 3 quarterly for Sr-89 and Sr-90. I

Gaseous wastes stripped from the reactor coolant at the Shippingport Station are circulated through a hydrogen analyzer and catalytic hydrogen burner t j system where the hydrogen is removed. The gases are initially stored in a vent gas surge drum, and subsequently compressed and transferred to one of l four gas storage drums. The decayed gases are sampled i l 5 prior to release. In addition, the exhaust from the l containment is equipped with high efficiency particulate air filters and monitoring devices to prevent releases ' 3 of radioactive particulates. Protective devices are g utilized in the event of high airborne activity to automatically seal off the primary containment to prevent an inadvertent release of radioactivity. I Reactor plant exhausts from the Decontamination Room, Sample Preparation Room, Laundry Room, Radfochemistry Laboratory, and Compacting Station are also equipped with high efficiency particulate air filters, and are continuously monitored for radioactive particulates by the use of fixed filter monitors. Exhausts from the Gaseous Waste System are filtered and sampled for I radioactivity at the release point also. Continuous i I air monitors are located within the containers, and other plant areas to constantly monitor the condition of the air. A stack release diagram is shown in Figure 4.8 identifying ventilation and gaseous release points for both Beaver Valley Power Station and Shippingport Atomic Power Station. b. Beaver Valley Power Station I Radioactive gases enter the gaseous waste disposal system from the degasifier vent chiller of the boren recovery system, and are directed to the gaseous waste charcoal delay subsystem upstrean of the overhead gas I compressor where the gas is chilled to condense most of the water vapor.

Beaver Valley Power Station (continued) The overhead gas compressor directs the radioactive gas stream to a gas surge tank. The system is designed I to return most of the gas to the volume control tank in the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVC System). A quantity of gas is periodically discharged from the I surge tank to one of the three (3) decay tanks for eventual release to the atmosphere via the process vent on top of the cooling tower. After the decay I tanks are sampled and authorization obtained for discharge, the flow of the waste gases from the decay tanks is recorded and rapidly diluted with about 1100 scfm of air in order to limit hydrogen concen-tration. The gases are then cor.bined with the containment vacuum system exhaust, aerated vents of the vent and drain system, and the main air ejector effluent. The mixture is then filtered through one of the gaseous waste disposal filters, each of which consists of a charcoal bed and a high efficiency filter. The filtered gases are then I discharged by one of the gaseous waste disposal blowers to the atmosphere via the process vent on the top of the cooling tower. The radioactivity levels I of the stream are monitored continuously. Samples are also taken periodically to determine the rate of activity released to the atmosphere. Should the radioactivity release concentration of the stream go above the allowable setpoint, a signal from the radiation monitor will stop all flow from the decay tanks. During a shutdown period after the containment has been sampled and the activity levels determined, the containment may be purged through the elevated release or, if the activity is low level, through the ventila-tion vent located on top of the Auxiliary Building. I Areas in the Auxiliary Building subject to radioactive contamination are monitored for radioactivity prior to entering the common ventilation vent. These individual I radiation monitors aid in identifying any sources of conts.minated air. The ventilation vent is also monitored continuously and sampled periodically. Upon a high radiation alarm, automatic dampers divert the system's exhaust air stream through one of the main filter banks in the supplementary leak collection and release system and to the elevated release point. SECTION IV DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report IV. MONITORING EFFLUENTS b. Beaver Valley Power Station (continued) Each filter bank consists of roughing filtsrs, charcoal filters, and pleated glass fiber type HETA filters. The roughing filters remove large particulates to prevent excessive pressure drop buildup on the charcoal and HEPA filters. The charcoal filters are effective for radioactive iodine ramoval and the HEPA filters remove I particulates and charcoal fines. 3. Analytical Procedure's for Sampling Airborne Effluents I a.

I I SECTION IV DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report IV. MONITORING EFFLUENTS 4. Results a. Shippingport Atomic Power Station I Analyses for the particulate airborne radioactivity in the plant effluents indicated that the gross alpha and gross beta activity concentrations were at or very near the minimum detectable activities (MDA). Analytical I results of charcoal filter samples showed that there were no instances of radioiodine concentrations above MDA. Specific gamma analyses of weekly and monthly composite air filter samples were also performed. Results showed I naturally occurring radioactivity typical of " background air" and nuclides attributable to worldwide fallout from nuclear weapons testing. During 1980, there was one instance where Cobalt 60 activity, attributable to plant I operations, was measured in the Radio Chemistry Laboratory Ventilation Exhaust. The total amount of Co-60 activity releasedwg 0.00000000422 curies at a concentration of 6.33 x 10-pC1/ml. Radiostrontium analyses of quarterly composite air filter I samples showed Sr-89 and Sr-90 concentrations in air which wereatgrneartheminimumdgectableconcentrationsof 5 x 10 pCi/ml, and 1 x 10 pC1/m1, respectively. The levels of Sr-89 and Sr-90 observed were extremely I low and are typical of " background air" radiostrontium levels. Also tritium and carbon-14 gaseous releases in the effluents were estimated based on analyses of primary I coolant and found to be below the predicted levels pre-sented in the LWBR Program Environmental Impact Statement. ) There were five (5) releases from the Shippingport I Atomic Power Station during 1980. The total releases of gaseous radioactivity from the Shippingport Atomic Power Station during 1980 were approximately 0.002415 I curies Xe-133 and 0.0001039 curies of Kr-85. These amounts of radioactivity released from the Shippingport Atomic Power Station during 1980 are extremely small and had a negligible effeet on the environment. I I i I

Solid Waste Disposal at the Shippingport and Beaver Valley Power Stations g During normal operations and periodic maintenance, Shippingport g and Beaver Valley Power Stations generated small quantities of radioactive solid waste materials such as evaporator concentrates contaminated rags, paper, plastics, filters, spent ion-exchange I resins, and miscellaneous tools and equipment. These were disposed of as solid radioactive waste. I At Shippingport Atomic Power Station and the Beaver Valley Power Station, the compactable wastes were segregated and compressed in a 55-gallon compactor to minimize disposal volumes. The compressed waste, plus other drums of noncompactable vaste, were then shipped I offsite for disposal at a site owned by the Department of Energy or a commercial radioactive material burial site licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or a state under agreement with I the NRC. No radioactive waste material was buried at the Shippingport or Beaver Valley Power Station site. All containers used for packaging, transport, and disposal of I radioactive materials met the requirements of the United States Department of Transportation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Shipments offsite were made in accordance with Department of I Transportation regulations. Figure 4.9 depicts solid waste handling at the site. I In 1980, the Shippingport plant generated a total of 4,054 cubic feet of radioactive solid waste having a total radioactivity of 0.112 curies. This included five (5) shipments of low level wastes and one (1) shipment of irradiated components. At Beaver Valley Power Station approximately 10,011.5 cubic feet of radioactive solid waste were shipped offsite in 1980. The I twenty-nine (29) shipments contained a total activity of 533.7 curies. Industrial solid wastes from both plants were collected in portable I bins, and removed to an approved offsite burial ground. No burning or burial of wastes was conducted at either the Beaver Valley or Shippingport plant. I I I

(b) Composite samples: In cases in which the sampling frequency is periodic, a composite sample is a grab samp34 taken from the well mixed total of the equal-sized periodic samples. For instance, a quarterly composite I smnple of monthly samples is a portion of the mixture of three, equal-sized =oothly samples. (c) In these cases, a y - isotopic analysis is done if the gross S value is I higher than the high 95 percentile value determinad from previous values. (d) The fish camples contain whatever species are available. If the available I sample size permits, then the sa=ple is separated according to species and compositing will provide one sample of each species. If the available size is too small to make separation by species practical, then edible parts of s11 fish in the sample are mixed to give one sample. (e) Two (2) TLDs are collected quarterly and annually from each monitoring location. Several TLDs were lost or stolen during the year. (f) Weekly milk sample from Searight's Dairy is analyzed for I-131 only. I (g) Dairies selected in confor=ance witn BVPS-ETS which requires sampling at dairies with highest potential dose pathway. (h) Automatic Surface Water Sampler automatically collcces 10 m1 to 40 =1 I sample every 15 minutes and retains sample in 5-gallon bottle. Necessary amount of sample collected weekly from 5-gallon bottle. I (1) Milk samples are collected by-weekly when animals are in pasture and monthly other times [assu=e April-October for grazing season (pasture)]. (j) Garden location within 5 miles of site.

I SECTION V - A DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING A. Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Program (continued) 3. Summary of Results All results of this monitoring program are summarized in Table V.A.3. This table is prepared in the format specified by NRC Regulatory Guide 4.8 and in accordance with Beaver Valley Power Station Operating License, (Appendix B, Environmental Technical Specifications). Summaries of results of analysis of each media are discussed in Sections V-B through V-H and an assessment of radiation doses are found in Section V-I. Table V.A.4 summaries Beaver Valley Power Station pre-operational ranges for the various sampling media during the years 1974 and 1975. Comparisons of pre-operational data with operational data indicate the ranges of values are in good agreement for both periods of time. In the few cases where activity was detected, some of the activity was directly attributable to the recent Chinese weapons test and the remaining detected activities were near the lower limit of their detection (LLD) and are attri-butable to the normal statistical fluctuation near the LLD level. The conclusion from all program data is that the operation of the Shippingport and Beaver Valley Power Station has not I resulted in any detectable changes to the environment attributable to either station. 4. Quality Control Program T1.s Quality Control Program implemented by Duquesne Light Company to assure reliable performance by contractor and l the supporting QC data are presented and discussed in Section III of this report.

I SECTION V - B DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B. Air Monitoring 1. Characterization of Air and Meteorology The air in the vicinity of thc site contains pollutants typical I for an industrial area. Air flow is generally from the South-west in summer and from the Northwest in the winter. 2. Air Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques a. Program The air is sampled for gaseous radioiodine and radioactive particulates at each of ten (10) off-site air sa=pling stations. The locations of these stations are listed in Table V.A.1 and shown on a map in Figure 5.B.1. Samples are collected at each of these stations by continuously drawine, about one cubic foot per minute I of atmosphere air thro.gh a glass fiber filter and through a charcoal cartridge. The former collects airborne particulates; the latter is for radiciodins I sampling. Samples are collected for analysi., on a weekly basis. The charcoal is used in the weekly aaalysis of airborne I I-131. The filters are analyzed each week for gross beta, then composited by station for monthly analysis by gamma spectrometry. They are further composited in a quarterly I sample from each station for alpha analysis and for Sr-89/ 90 analysis. In order to reduce interference from natural radon and thoron radioactivities, all filters are allowed to decay for a few days after collection prior to counting I for beta in a low background counting system. b. Procedures Gross beta analysis is performed by placing the filter paper from the weekly air sa=ple in a 2" x 1/4 planchet and counting it in a low background, gas flow proportional counter. Ga==a emitters are deter =ined by stacking all the filter papers from each monitoring station collected during the I month and scanning this composite on a lithium drifted germanium (Ge(L1)) gam =a spectrometer. Radiotodine (I-131) analysis is performed by a gamma scan I of the charcoal in a weekly charcoal cartridge. The activity is referenced to the mid-collection time. I I

Procedures (continued) Strontium-89 and Strontium-90 activities are determined in quarterly composited air particulate filters. Stable strontium carrier is added to the sample and it is I leached in nitric acid to bring deposits into solution. The mixture is then filtered. Half of the filtrate is taken for strontium analysis (the remainder being saved for gross alpha analysis) and is reduced in volume by evaporation. Strontium is precipitated as Sr(NO )2 ) sing u 3 fuming (90%) nitric acid. An iron (ferric hydroxide I scavenge is performed, followed by addition of stable yttrium carrier and a 5 to 7 day period for yttrium ingrowth. Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide, is dissolved and re-precipitated as oxalate. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is counted in a low level beta counter to infer strontium-90 activity. Strontium-89 activity is determined by precipitating I SrC0 from the sample af ter yttrium separation. 'Ihis 3 precipitate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is covered witn 80 mg/cm aluminum absorber for level beta counting. 2 Gross alpha activity is determined from the remaining half of solution prepared during the strontium analysis. The solution is filtered and then evaporated onto a 2-inch I stainless steel planchet. The sample is counted on a Beckman-Sharp Wide Beta II automatic counter for alpha activity. I 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of data is presented in Table V.A.3. a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates A total of five hundred twenty (520) weekly samples from ten (10) locations was analyzed for gross beta. Results were comparable to previous years; however, there were short-term increases due to the test of a nuclear weapons device by China on 10-16-80.

SECTION V - B DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report I V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates (continued) The weekly air particulate samples were composited to one hundred and twenty (120) monthly samples which I were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Naturally occurring Be-7 was present in every sample. Occasional traces above detection levels of other nuclides were present. I Som .ere natural, others were residual from previous and recent nuclear weapons tests. Examination of effluent data from the Beaver Valley Power Station I and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station demonstrated that none of the slightly elavated results are attri-butable to the operation of either power station. A total of forty (40) quarterly samples were each analyzed for gross alpha, Sr-89, and Sr-90. Results were comparable to those in previous years, including pre-operational years. Based on the analytical results, the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station and Shippingport Atomic Power Station I did not contribute to any increase in air particulate radioactivity during CY 1980. b. Radiciodine l A total of five hundred and twenty (520) weekly charcoal filter samples were analyzed for I-131. No detectable I concentrations were found at any locations. l Based on analytical results, the operation of Beaver Valley l l Power Station and Shippingport Atomic Power Station did !

Monitoring of Sediments and Soils (Soil Monitoring is required every 3 years and was not required in 1980.) 1. Characterization of Stream Sediments The stream sediments consist largely of sand and silt. 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques a. Program River bottom sediments were collected quarterly above the Montgomery Dam in the vicinities of the Beaver Valley discharge and Shippingport discharge and above I the New Cumberland Dam. A Ponar or Eckman dredge is used to. collect the sample. The sampling locations are also listed in Table V.A.1 and are shown in Figure 5.C.1. Bottom sediments are analyzed for gross alpha and beta activity, strontium, uranium and the gamma-emitting I radionuclides. B. Analytical Procedures Gross beta - sediments are analyzed for gross beta by mounting a 1 gram portion of dried sediment in a 2" planchet. The sample is counted in a low background, I gas flow proportional counter. Self absorption corrections are made on the basis of sample waight. Gross alpha activity of sediment is analyzed in the I same manner as gross beta except that the counter is set up to count only alpha. I Gamma analysis of sediment is performed in a 100 m'. plastic bottle which is counted by a gamma ec trar ae ter. f I I I I

- 3 A stable carrier is added for determination of recovery.
Strontium concentration and purification is ultimately realized by precipitations of strontium nitrate in fuming nitric acid. Additional hydroxide precipitations and barium chromate separations are also used. The purified strontium is converted to a carbonate for weighing and I counting. Samples are counted soon after separation (5 - 7 days is allowed for yttrium ingrowth). Activities arecalculatedonthebasisofappropriateSr-g9decayand Y-90. Separate mounts covered with a 80 mg/cm aluminum absorber are used for counting in a low background beta counter. U_ranium isotopic analysis of sediment samples were performed by alpha spectrometry after leaching and isolation of the uranium by anion exchange chromato-graphy plus mercury cathode electrolysis, then electroplated onto a planchet. 3. Results and Conclusions a. Results I The results of sediment analysis are summarized in Table V.A.3. I There were no significant differences between these. current levels and those previously detected in boch upstream and downstream sediment samples. Results-from gross alpha analysis tend to vary significantly as is characteristic of actual radioactivity in the environment, but all results were within the range anticipated. I I I I I SECTION V - C DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3. Results and Conclusions (continued) a. Results (continued) Uranium isotopic analyses were performed by alpha l spectroscopy. The results suggest that only naturally occurring U-234 and U-238 were present since the activities were nearly always the same in each sample and the levels are within the expected range of natural uranium activities. In equilibrium, U-234 and U-238 have the same activity. l I b. Conclusion Other than a very small amount of Co-60 at the outfall of Beaver Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Pouer Station. the sediment analyses do not indicate any increased radioactivity attributable to Beaver Valley Power Station. Since Shippingport Atoraic Power Station did not release any radioactive liquid j waste during 1980, it did not contribute to any changes 5 in river sediment radioactivity. Small amount of Cs-137 from fallout was found in all river sediment samples including those upstream above Montgomery Dam which I are unaffected by plant effluents. I !I I I

Characterization of Vegetation and Foe:lirscu According to a survey made in 1975, there were approximately 700 farms in Beaver County. The principle source of revenue for the fams was in dairy products which amounted to nearly $3,200,000.00. Reveaues from other farm products were as follows: ~ Crops $f,400,000.00 Horciculture $ 565,000.00 Mar.t $ 831,000.00 Poaltry $ 760,000.00 The percentage of crop land in Beaver County is approximately 17%, pasture land - 6.5%, forest land - 47.8%, and other land uses - 28.7%. 2. Sampling Program and Analvtical Techniques a. Program I Representative samples of cattle feed are collected monthly from the nearest dairy (Searight). See Figure 5.D.l. Each sr.mple is analyzed by gnmn spectrometry. The monthly samples are composited into a quarterly sample which is analyzed for Sr-90. Foodcrops (vegetables) were collected at garden locations I during the summer of 1980. Cabbage and lettuce vere obtained from gardens in Shippingport, Pa., Georgetown, Pa. and Industry, Pa. Cabbage was collected.It a garden in Weirton, W. Va. All samples were analyzed for gamma I emitters (including I-131 by gamma spectrometry). b. Procedures Gamma emitters, including I-131, are determined by scanning a dried, homogenized sample eith the gnm n spectrometry system. A Ge(L1) detector is utilized I with this system. Strontium 90 analysis for feedstuff is performed by a procedure similar to that described in V.C.2. M M M M M m m e e g g g g 05z ~ FIGURE 5.D.1 (* Mourno+raar Dari r..

SECTION V - D LUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report i V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of results is provided in Table V.A.3. The predominant isotope detected was naturally occurring K-40 in both food and feed. Other activity is attributable to residuals from previous nuclear weapons tests or naturally occurring radionuclides. All results were consistent with (or lower than) those obtained in the pre-operational program. These data confirm that Shippingport Atomic Power Station and Beaver Valley Power Station did not contribute to radioactivity in foods and feeds in the vicinity of the site.

Description - Milch Animal Locations During the seasons that animals producing milk (milch animals) l for human consumption are on pasture, samples of fresh milk are obtained from these animals at locations and frequencies l noted in Table V.A.l. This milk is analyzed for its radio-l iodine content calculated as Iodine-131. The analyses are performed within eight (8) days of sampling. l Detailed field surveys are performed during the grazing season to locate and enumerate milch animals within a five (5) mile radius of the site. Goat herd locations out to fifteen (15) miles are identified. Survey data for the most recent survey conducted in August, 1980 is shown in Figure 5.E.1. 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques a. Program Milk was collected from three (3) reference dairy farms within a 10-mile radius of the site. Additional dairies, l which represent the highest potential milk pathway for radiciodine based on milch animal surveys and meteorological data were selected and sampled. These dairies are subject to change when more recent data (including census) indicate other locations are more appropriate. The location of each is shown in Figure 5.E.2 and described below.

I I SECTION V - E DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING E. Monitoring of Local Cow's Milk (continued) a. Program (continued) The sample from Searight Dairy was collected and I analyzed weekly for radiciodine using a procedure with a high sensitivity. Samples from each of the other selected dairies were collected monthly when I cows are indoors, and bi-weekly when cows are grazing. This monthly or bi-weekly sample is analyzed for Sr-89, Ss 90, ga=ma emitters including Cs-137 (by Spectrometry) and I-131 (high sensitivity analysi ). b. Procedure I Radioicdine (I-131) analysis in milk was normally per-formed using chemically prepared samples and analyzed with a beta-gamma coincidence counting system. Gamma emitters are determined by gn==a spectrometry of a one liter Marinelli container of milk. I Strontium analysis of milk is similar to that of other foods (refer to V.C.2) except that milk samples are prepared by addition of Trichloracetic Acid (TCA) to I produce a curd which is removed by filtration and discarded. An oxalate precipitate is ashed for counting. 3. Results and Conclusions I A total of one hundred and forty-five (145) samples were analyzed for I-131 during 1980. All I-131 activities in milk I were below the minimum detectable leyel (0.3 pCi/1), except for samples collected at sample site during November and December. These positive results are attributable to fallout from the Chinese Weapon, Test of October 16, 1980. Examina-I tion of effluent data from the Beaver Valley Power Station and the Shippingport Atomic Power Station demonstrated that none of the elevated results are attributable to the operation l l of either power station. Refer to Figure 5.E.3 and Table ' W V.A.2. These positive values ranged up to 4.3 pCi/1. This is significantly lower than caused by similar wcapons tests in 1976, 1977 and 1978. A total of one hundred and thirteen (113) samples were analyzed by ga==a spectrometry and for strontium. Both he Cs-137 and Sr-90 levels were within the nor= ally expected range. l The dairy with the detectable levels of I-131 consisted of one cow. I I I

I SECTION V - F DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report i V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING i F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring 1. Description of Regional Background Radiation Levels and Source _s I The terrain in the vicinity of the Shippingport and Beaver i Valiey Power Station generally consists of rough hills with j altitude variations of 300 to 400 feet. Most of the land I is wooded. The principal geologic features of the region are nearly I flat-lying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania Age. Beds of limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits I partially cover the older sedimentary deposits in the northwest. Most of the region is underlain by shale, sandstone, and some coal beds of the Conemaugh Formation. Outcrops of sandstone, shale, and limestone of the Allegheny Formation exist within I the Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams. Based on surveys reported in previcus annual reports, exposure I rates ranged from 6 to 12 pR/hr. Results for 1980 indicated that background radiation continued in this range. 2. Locations & Analvtical Procedures f Ambient external radiation levels at the site were measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). There were three ' I (3) types used in the Duquesne Light Company Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. They are calciur sulphate dysprosium, CaSO (Dy) in teflon matrix, lithium fluoride 4 (LiF), and thulium activated calcium sulfate (CaSO :Tm). 4 The lithium fl.uoride TLDs were posted and analyzed by a laboratory of the Department of Energy (DOE) as an independent I check of environmental radioactivity levels. The CaSO :Tm TLDs 4 l were used as a back-up and as a QC program. The locations of I the TLDs are shown in Figures 5.F.1 thru 4. Comparisons of l TLD results are presented in Section III.l. In 1977,1978 and 1979, there were a total of thirteen (13) off-site environmental TLD locations. In 1980, the total of I off-site TLD locations was incraased to forty-three (43) to comply with the pending requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's version of the standardized Effluent Technical Specifications for PWR's. g 1 lI

Locations & Analytical Procedures (continued) The lithium fluoride (LiF) TLDs used for environmental purposes are pre-selected and annealed at least 5 working i l days prior to use. The radiation dose accumulated from l 5 the anneal date to the date of posting is accounted for utilizing background readings from five (5) TLD chips l 3 which are processed within 24 hours of the posting date. l E The calibration of the TLD reader is performad within 24 hours of processing the posted environmental TLDs. The environmental TLDs are processed after retrieval and a I background correction is made to account for the back-ground radiation accumulated from the date of retrieval t to the date of processing. The calcium sulfate (CaSO :Dy) TLDs were annealled shortly 4 before placing the TLDs in their field locations. The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the field i location and the laboratory was corrected by annealing control l dosimeters shortly before the field dosimeters were removed from the field location, then shipping the freshly annealed I control dosimeters with the exposed field dosimeters to the l laboratory for readout at the same time. All dosimeters were exposed in the field in a special environmental holder. l g The dosimetry system was calibrated by reading calcium sulfate 5 d simeters which.have been wposed in an accurately known gamma radiation field. l 3. Results and Conclusions Data obtained with the contractor TLD (CaSO :Dy in teflon) 4 during 1980 are summarized in Table V.A.3, and the quality I l control TLD results ar, listed in Table 111.1. 'he annual exposure rate of all off-site TLD's 9veraged I 19 mR/ day in 1980. As in previous years, there ws some variation among locations and seasons an 'ould be expected. I In 1980, ionizing radiation dose determinttions averaged approximately 69 mR for the year. This is comparable to previous years. There was no evidence of anomalies that could be attributed to operation of Beaver Valley Power j Station or Shippingport Atomic Power Station. Three sets i of TLDs of different types, each provided and analyzed by l a separate laboratory, demonstrate good agreement and con-E firm that changes from natural radiation levels, if any, l j l 3 are neglible.

Description Fish collected near the site are generally scrap fish. During 1980, fish collected for the radiological monitoring program included carp and catfish. I 2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques a. Program Fish samples are collected semi-annually in the New Cumberland pool of the Ohio River at the Beaver Valley I and Shippingport effluent discharge points and upstream of the Montgomery Dam. The edible portion of each different species caught is analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Fish sampling locations are shown in Figure 5.G.l. b. Procedure A sample is prepared in a standard tared 300 ml plastic bottle and scanned for gamma emitting nuclides with gamma spe.:trometry system which utilizcs a Ge(L1) detector. 3. Resulte and Conclusions A su.cary of the results of the fish monitoring data is I previded in Table V.A.3. Nine (9) fish were caught in May and June. Eight (8) more samples we.re caught during October - November. Except for naturally occurring K-40 I and Be-7, the only gamma emitter which was detected in any samples was a trace of Cs-137 in one sample. Cesium-137 is a long lived fission product and some residual activity persists from previous weapons testing programs. This I indicates that the operation of the Shippingport Atomic l Power Station and the Beaver Valley Power Station has not resulted in radioactivity in fish in the Ohio River. I I I I

Description of Water Sources The Ohio River is the main body of water in the area. It l is used by beth the Beaver Valley and Shippingport plants I for water make-up and receiving plant liquid effluents. l In addition, river water is used for cooling purposes at the Shippingport Atomic Power Station and make-up for the cooling tower at the Beaver Valley Power Station. Ohio River water is a source of water for some towns both upstream and downstream of the Beaver Valley and Shippingport g plant sites. It is used by several municipalities and ' g industries downstream of the site. The nearest user of the Ohio River as a potable water source is Midland Borough Municipal Water Authority. The intake of the treatment plant is approximately 1.5 miles downstream and on the opposite side of the river. The next downstream users are East Liverpool, Ohio, and Chester, West Virginia, which are g approximately 6 and 7 miles downstream, respectively. The ! g heavy industries in Midland, as well as others downstream use river water for cooling purposes. Some of these plants I also have private treatment facilities for plant sanitary water. Ground water occurs in large volumes in the gravel terraces which lie along the river, and diminishes considerably in l I the bedrock underlying the site. Normal well yields in the bedrock are less than 10 gallons per minute (gpm) with occasional wells yielding up to 60 gpm. l 2. Sampline and Analytical Techniques i a. Surface (Raw River) Water The sampling program of river water includes six (6) sampling points along the Ohio River. Raw water samples I are normally collected at the East Liverpool (Ohio) Water i Treatment Plant [ River Mile 41.2] daily and composited into a monthly sample. Weekly grab samples are taken from the Ohio River at the '.,llowing locations: Upstream of Montgomery Dam [ River Mile 31.8]; at discharge from Shippingport Atomic Power Station [ River Mile 34.8]; and near the discharge from the Beaver Valley Power Station [ River Mile 35.0]. Two automatic river water samplers I -

Surface (Raw River) Water (continued) are at the following locations: Upstream of Montgomery I Dam (River Mile 29.6]; and at Crucible Steel's river water intake { River Mile 36.2]. The automatic sampler takes a 20 m1 to 40 m1 sample every 15 minutes and is collected on a weekly basis. The weukly grab samples I and automatic water samples are composited into monthly samples from each location. In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared for each sample point. I The monthly composites are analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, and gamma emitters. The quarterly composites I are analyzed for tritium (H-3), strontium 89 (Sr-89), strontium 90 (Sr-90), and cobalt 60 (high sensitivity). Locations of each sample point are shown in Figure 5.H.l. b. Drinking Water (Public Supplies) I Drinking (treated) water is collected at both Midland (PA) and East Liverpool (OH) Water Treating Plants. An automatic sampler at each location collects 20-50 milliliters every 20 minutes. These intermittent samples are then composited I into a weekly sample. The weekly sample from each location is analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The weekly samples are also analyzed for radiciodine (I-131). Monthly composites of the weekly samples are analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, and by gnemn spectremetry. Quarterly com-I posites are analyzed for H-3, Sr-89, Sr-90 and Co-60 (high sensitivity). Locations of each sample point are shown in Figure 5.H.l. c. Ground Water Grab samples were collected each quarter from each of four I (4) well locations (see Figure V.H.1) within four (4) miles of the site. These locations are: One (1) well at Shippingport, PA One (1) well at Meyer's Farm (Hookstown, PA) One (1) well in Hookstown, I i One (1) well in Georgetown, PA Each groundwater sample is analyzed for gross ai,ha, gross beta, tritium, and by gamma spectrometry.

I I SECTION V - H DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques (continued) d. Procedure l Gross alpha and gross beta activities are determined first by evaporating one liter of the sample on a hotplate. The residue is mounted and dried on a 2-inch stainless steel planchet. The sample is counted in a low background, gas flow proportional counter. Self-absorption corrections are made on the basis of sample weight. Gamma analysis is performed on water sample by g loading one liter of sample into a one liter g marinelli container and counting on a Ge(L1) gamma spectrometry system. j Strontium-89 and 90 are determined on water samplet i by a procedure similar to that described in V.C.2 except that the leaching step is eliminated. Cobalt-60 is determined with a sensitivity of 1 pCi/l by evaporating 2 liters of sample on a hotplate and transferring the residue to a 2-inch planchet. The planchet is counted on a Ge(Li) l spectrometer system. l l Tritium is determined in water samples by converting i 2 ml of the sample to hydrogen and counting the activity in a 1 liter low level gas counter which is operated in the proportional range in anti-coincidence mode. I I I I SECTION V - H DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3. Results and Conclusions A summary of results of all analyses of water samples (surface, drinking, and ground) are provided by sample type and analysis I in Table V.A.3. These are discussed below, a. Surface Water A total of seventy-two (72) samples were each analyzed for gross alpha, grosa beta, and gamma activity. Twenty-four (24) quarterly composited samples were I analyzed for tritium (H-3) and radiostrontium (Sr-89 and Sr-90) as well as a high sensitivity analysis for Co-60. No alpha, Sr-89, Sr-90 or Co-60 were detected in surface water during CY 1980. All beta activities were within I normal range. Other than the naturally occurring radio-nuclide of Th-228 which was detected in several samples, the only other gamma emitter detected was Cs-137 at 10.3 + 4.4 pCi/1 in a BVPS discharge sample comp ( sited I for January. This is a very low-level activity and could have been caused either by fallout fram historical weapons testing or authorized releases from Beaver Valley Power Station. Cs-137 was not detected in any other downstream surface water or drinking water sample during the same period of time. The tritium data was within the praoperational ranges during CY 1980. No detectable increase in radioactivity in the Ohio River can be attributed to Shippingport Atomic Power Station since it did not discharge radioactive liquids during 1980. l [ l 1 -100-
8 SECTION V - H DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 3. Results and Conclusions (continued) b. Drinking Water A total of twenty-four (24) samples were analyzed for gross alpha and gross beta. All results were within preoperational data ranges. A total of eight (8) samples were analyzed for tritium (H-3),. radiostrontium (Sr-89 and Sr-90), and cobalt (Co-60). No Sr-89 or Co-60 were detected. The tritium data were within the preoperational range indicative of normal environmental levels. Sr-90 was detected in one 4th quarter drinking water sample taken from East Liverpool. Sr-90 was not detected in any of the surface water samples taken during the fourth quarter. This low-level result could be caused either by expected variability in analyses results producing an apparent indication I attributable to counting statistics when no activity was present or r; fallout from the recent Chinese weapons test. The absence in all other samples suggests the former. A total of another one-hundred and four (104) samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. No gamma emitting I radionuclides were detected by these analyses. A total of one hundred and four (104) samples were analyzed for radioiodine (I-131) using a highly sensitive technique. A detectable level of I-131 was l measured in one (1) weekly sample collected on October 2, 1980 at East Liverpool. The result of 0.23 pCi/ liter for this sample is only slightly above the minimum detectable activity of 0.2 pCi/ liter. This positive result could not be attributed to station discharges. The result may be attributed to expected variability in the analyses i results of very low levels of activity or to fallout l from the recent Chinese weapons test. II -101-

Summary The data from water analysis demonstrate that neither Beaver Valley Power Station nor Shippingport Atomic Pcwer Station contributed a significant increase of radioactivity in local river, drinking or well waters. The few positive results which could be attributable to authorized releases from Beaver Valley Power Station are characteristic of the effluent. These results confirm that the station assessments, prior to authorizing radioactive discharges, are adequate and that the environmental monitoring program is sufficiently sensitive. Further, the maximum detected activity attributable to Beaver Valley Power Station was. only a small fraction (<0.2%) of the concentration (averaged over a year) permitted by the Federal Reguletions for water consumed by the public. The Ohio River further reduced this concentration prior to its pottatial use by members of the public. -102-
SECTION V - I DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING I. Estimates of Radiation Dose to Man 1. Pathways to Man - Beaver Vallev Power Station a. Calculational Models - Beaver Valley Power Station The radiation doses to man as a result of Beaver Valley operations were calculated for both gaseous and liquid effluent pathways using NRC computer codes IOQDOQ, GASPAR, anc LADTAP. Dose factors listed in Beaver Valley Power Station Environmental Technical Specifications were used to calculate I doses to maximum individuals from radioactive noble gases in discharge plumes. Beaver Valley effluent data, based on sample analysis in accordance with the schedule set forth in Appendix B of the BVPS license, were used as the radionuclide activity input. Each radionuclide contained in the semi-annual effluent report format of Regulatory Guide 1.21 was considered. Certain radionuclides which were not detected in the effluents were not included in dose calculations when the inventory of such nuclides available for discharge was judged to be negligible. As a result, only noble gases, radioiodines, strontium, and tritium were included as source ter=s based on I the lower detectable limits of analysis (all sansi-tivities for analysis at Beaver Valley were equal to or better than required by the Beaver Valley license). All gaseous effluent releases, including Auxiliary Building Ventilation, were included in dose assess-ments. The release activities are based on laboratory l analysis. When the activity of noble gas was below detection sensitivity, either the inventory based on its MDL or an appropriate but conservative ratio to either measured activity of Kr-85 or Xe-133 was used. Meteorological data collected by the Beaver Valley Power Station Meteorology System.r.s used as input to X0QD0Q which in turn prov'ded input for GASPAR. Except when more recent oc specific data was available, all inputs were the same.ts used in the Beaver Valley Power Station Environmental Statements or in Regulatory Guide 1.109. The airborne pathways evaluated were beta and gamma doses from noble gas plu=es, inhalation, the " cow-milk child", and other ingestion pathways. I 1 l -103-l

I (continued) All potentially radioactive liquid effluents, including steam generator blowdown, are released I by batch mode after analysis by gamma spectrometry using a GeLi detector. Each batch is diluted by cooling tower blowdown water prior to discharge into the Ohio River at the Beaver Valley Power Station outfall (River Mile 35.0). The actual data from these analyses are tabulated and used as the radionuclide activity input term in LADTAP. The maximun individual for liquid pathways is located at Midland. Except when more recent or specific data for the period is available, all other input to LADTAP are obtr.ined f rom the Beaver Valley Power Station Environmental Statement or Regulatory Guide 1.109. Pathways, which were evaluated, are drinking water, fish consumption, shoreline recreation, swimming, and boating. 2.

I SECTION V - I DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 5. Dose Pathways to Man - Shippingport Atomic Power Station (continued) Effluent monitoring at the Shippingport Station during 1980 I has shown that the radioactivity releases were substantially below the Federal radioactivity concentration guides. The environmental monitoring program has demonstrated that the radiation exposure to the general public from the Shippingport Station operations was too low to measure and could only be estimated with the calculational models described below using measured or estimated effluent radioactivity data. a. Calculational Models - Shippingport Atomic Power Station I The radiation doses to man from Shippingport Atomic Power Station operations were estimated using calculational models recommended by the International Commission on I Radiological Protection (ICRP Publ. 2, 1959) and employ the general guidelines of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Regulatory Guide 1.109) established to maintain compliance with 10CFR50 Appendix I. I The air dose pathways considered were inhalation, imuersion in gaseous and suspended particulate activity, and the ingestion of food and milk produced in the Shippingport vicinity. It was conservatively assumed that food products consumed by the public were produced in the Shippingport area throughout CY 1980. The maximum potentially exposed individual for the air pathways was located at the site boundary. It was conservatively assumed that the maximum individual resides continually at the site boudary. Modeling parameters and usage factors used in the pathway calculations were consistent with values reco. amended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC Regulatory Guide 1.109). The population distribution within 50 miles of the site was based on census data projected for 1980 as provided in the LWBR Program Environmental Impact I Statement (ERDA 1541). Furthermore, the air pathway calculation employed site-specific meteorological and wind direction data. I I -109-
SECTION V - I DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1980 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 6. Results and Conclusions - ShippinRport Atomic Power Station Evaluation of the radiation dose-to-man calculations for the airborne effluents show that the maximum annual radiation I exposure potentially received by an individual residing at the site boundary is less than 1 mrem. The maximum dose to an individual is well below the 10CFR50 Appendix I dose limits. Furthermore, the radiation exposure to the entire population of 4 million persons within 50 miles of the Shippingport Station was less than 10 person-rem. This dose is negligible compared to the typical general use of more than 360,000 person-rem received by all individuals from typical background radiation. In conclusion, the radiation exposure received from the Shippingport Station during CY 1980 by any member of the general public is a very small fraction of the background radiation and has, therefore, no significant effect on the general public.
