SUMMARY

During the period January 1 to December 31, 1982, Radiation Management Corporation (RMC) participated in the Operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted by Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) at Artificial Island, New Jersey. Salem Nuclear Generating Station (SNGS) Unit #1 became critical on December 11, 1976, thereby initiating the operational phase of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). This program was designed to identify and quantify concentrations of radioactivity in various environmental media and to quan-tify ambient radiation levels in the environs of Artificial Island. Unit #2 achieved initial criticality on August 2,1980. During the operational phase, the program will monitor the operations of SNGS Units #1 and #2, will fulfill the requirements of the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications, and will provide background data for the Hope Creek Generating Station. This report presents the results of thermo-luminescent dosimetry and radiochemical analyses of environmental samples collected during 1982. A total of 2571 analyses were performed on 1551 environmental samples during the period covered by this report. Samples of air particulates, air iodine, surface, ground and drinking water, benthos, sediment, milk, fish, crabs, vegetables, game, fodder crops, meat and precipitation were collected. Thermoluminescent dosimeters were used to measure ambient radiation levels. A variety of radionuclides, both naturally occurring and man-made, were found in the above samples. These nuclides were detected at levels similar to those found during the preoperational phase of this program. In general, results at indicator stations compared favo'rably to control ~ stations. It is concluded that the radiological charac-teristics of the environment around Artificial Island during 1982 were not affected by the operation of SNGS Units #1 and #2. t i 1

r INTRODUCTION Radiation Management Corporation has participated in the Artificial Island Radio-logical Environmental Monitoring Program since January 1973. RMC has previously reported results for the preoperational phase of the REMP from 1973 to 1976 (1-4). On Decenber 11, 1976, SNGS Unit #1 first achieved criticality thereby initiating the operational phase of_the REMP. Continuing since then, RMC has reported results for the operational phase of the REMP from 1976 to 1981 (5-10). This report sum-marizes the operational' period between January 1 and December 31, 1982. Artificial Island is the site of two nuclear power reactors which are part of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. Units #1 and #2 are pressurized water reactors (PWR), with a capacity of 1090 MWe and 1115 MWE respectively. Both are presently operational.- Artificial Island is actually a man-made peninsula in the Delaware River, created by the deposition of dredging spoils. It is located in Lower Alloways Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The environment around Artificial Island is character-ized mainly by the Delaware River and Bay, extensive tidal marshes, and grass lands. These land types make up approximately 85% of the land area within five miles of the site. Most of the remaining land is used for agricultural production (11). More specific information on the demography, hydrology, meteorology, and land use characteristics of the local area may be found in the Environmental Report (11), Environmental Statement (12), and the Final Safety Analyses Report (Units 1 and 2 for SNGS (13). i l 2 I

m THE PROGRAM In the' operational phase of the REMP, the program was conducted in accordance with i Section 3.2 of the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications (14). Radioanalytical data were collected and compared with results from the preoperational phase. Differences between these periods were examined statistically, where applicable, to determine whether any station operational effects existed. Objectives The objectives of the operational radiological environmental program are: 1. To fulfill the obligations of the Radiological Surveillance-Environmental sections of the Environmental Technical Specifications for SNGS. 2. To determine whether any significant increase occurs in the concentration of radionuclides in critical pathways. 3. To determine if SNGS has caused an increase in the radioactive inventory of long lived radionuclides. 4. To detect any change in ambient pamma radiation levels. 5. To verify that SNGS operations have no detrimental effects on the health and safety of the public or on the environment. This report, as required by Section 5.6 of the Salem Environmental Technical Specifi-cations (ETS), summarizes the findings of the 1982 REMP. Results of the four year preoperational program have been summarized for purposes of comparison with subsequent operational reports (4). Sample Collection In order to meet the stated objectives, an appropriate operational REliP was developed by RMC in cooperation with Public Service Electric and Gas Company. Samples of various media were selected to obtain data for the evaluation of the radiation dose to man and other organisms. The selection of sample types was based on: (1) established critical pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to man, and (2) experience gained during the preoperational phase. Sampling locations were determined from site meteorology, Delaware estuarine hydrology, local demography, and land uses. Sampling locations were divided into two classes--indicator and control. Indicator stations are those which are expected to manifest station effects, if any exist; con-trol samples are collected at locations which are believed to be unaffected by station operations. Fluctuations in the levels of radionuclides and direct radiation at indi-cator stations are evaluated with respect to analogous fluctuations at control stations, which are unaffected by station operation. Indicator and control station data are also evaluated relative to preoperational data. The REMP for the Artificial Island Site in-cludes additional samples and analyses not specifically required by the Salem ETS. The summary tables in this report include these additional samples and analyses. 3

F Air particulates were collected on Schleicher-Schuell No. 25 glass fiber filters with low-volume air samplers. Iodine was collected from air by adsorption on TEDA charcoal cartridges connected in series behind the air particulate filters. Air sample volumes were measured with calibrated dry-gas meters corrected to standard temperature and pressure. Precipitation was collected on a 95-square-inch rain gauge. Samples were collected monthly and transferred to new polyethylene bottles. The rain gauge was rinsed at collection with distilled water to include residual particulates in the precipita-tion samples. Tritium results were corrected for the tritium content of the dis-tilled water. Ambient radiation levels in the environs were measured with energy-compensated CaSO4 (Tm) thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). Packets containing four TLDs each were placed on and around the Artificial Island Site at various distances and were exposed on a monthly, quarterly and semi-annual basis. 3 Monthly well and potable water samples were taken in new two-gallon polyethylene bottles. Separate raw and treated potable water samples were composited daily by personnel of the Salem Water Company. Surface water samples were collected by Icthyological Associates and shipped to RMC for analysis in new polyethylene bottles. Sample containers were rinsed twice with.the sample medium prior to collection. Edible fish and crabs were taken by net, sealed in a bag or jar and shipped frozen. Benthos and sediment were taken with a bottom grab sampler. Milk samples were taken in new polyethylene bottles and shipped fresh. Food products, fodder crops, game and bovine thyroid samples were taken and sealed in plastic bags or jars. Perishable samples were frozen at the time of sampling ) without any preservatives. Appendix A describes and summarizes, in the format of Table 5.6-1 of the Salem ETS, the entire operational program as perfomed in 1982. Appendix B describes the RMC coding system, which specifies sample type and relative locations at a glance. Also in Appendix B, Table B-1 gives the pertinent infomation on indivi-dual sampling locations, while naps B-1 and B-2 show the sampling locations. j i 4

Data Interpmtation Radiation fianagement Corporation has an extensive quality assurance program designed to maximize confidence in the analytical procedures used. Approximately 20% of the total analytical effort is spent on quality control, including process quality con-trol, instrument quality control, inter-laboratory cross-check analyses, and compre-hensive data review. The analytical methods utilized in this program are sunrnarized in Appendix D-1. The nethods utilized by the PSEaG Research and Testing Lab are summarized in Appendix D-2. Results of the EPA inter-laboratory comparison program appear in Appendix E. A full discussion of these results can be found in the " Quale ity Control Data 1982 - Annual Report" (15). Several factors am important in the interpretation of the data. These factors are discussed here to avoid repetition in sections that follow. I Grab sampling is a useful and acceptable procedum for taking environmental samples of a medium in which the concentration of radionuclides is expected to vary slowly with time or where intermittent sampling is deemed sufficient to establish the radiological characteristics of the medium. This method, however, is only mpre-sentative of the sampled medium for that specific location and instant of time. As a result, variation in the radionuclide concentrations of the samples will normally occur. Since these variations will tend to counterbalance one another, the extraction of averages based upon repetitive gra'o samles is valid. Within the data tables (Appendix C) an approximate 95% ( 2 sigma) confidence inter-val is supplied for those data points above the lower limit of detection (LLD). An exception to this is Sr-89 and -90 detection capabilities which are based on the minimum detectable limit (MDL). These intervals mpresent the range of values into which 95% of repeated analyses of the same sample should fall. Results for each type of sample were grouped according to the analysis performed. Means and standard deviations of these msults were calculated when applicable. The calculated standard deviations of grouped data found in Appendix C represent sanple and not analytical variability. When a group of data was composed of mainly (>50%) LLD values, averages were not calculated. It is characteristic of environmental monitoring data that many results occur at or below the lower limit of detection. For reporting and calculation of averages, any msult occurring at or below the lower limit of detection is considered to be at that limit. As a msult, averages obtained using this method are biased high. i 5

f~. Quality Assurance Program (RMC) Beginning on October 1,1981, modifications were made to the portion of the Radio-logical Environmental Monitoring Program for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station performed by RMC. It should be noted that all analyses not performed by RMC are being analyzed by the PSE&G Research and Testing Laboratory, a wholly owned subsi-diary-of PSE&G. In order to insure quality of the results obtained by their laboratory, PSE&G has instituted a quality assurance program in which a portion of those samples analyzed ~ by PSE&G will also be analyzed by RMC. This program is discussed below. 1. Milk - Station MLK-3G1 will be analyzed for Sr-89 and -90 on a monthly basis by RMC. Each month one additional station will be chosen by Public Service Electric & Gas Company to receive Sr-89 and -90 analyses. 2. Surface Water - Station SWA-12C1 will be analyzed for tritium on a monthly basis, and for Sr-89 and -90 on a quarterly composite basis by RMC. In addition, one other station will be. chosen by PSE&G to receive monthly tritium analyses and quarterly composite Sr-89 and -90 analyses. 3. Potable Water - Monthly tritium analyses and quarterly composite analyses for Sr-89 and -90 will be performed for station PWT-2F3 by.RMC. All res~ults for the samples included in the quality assurance program appear on the data tables'in Appendix C. This data is not included in the Results and Discussion portion of the text or in Appendix A. Program Changes The sampling frequency for the semi-annual TLDs was changed to quarterly collections. / I l

a RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The analytical results of the 1982 REMP samples are divided into categories based on exposure pathways:. airborne, direct, water, aquatic and ingestion. The analytical results for the 1982 REMP samples are summarized in Appendix A. The data for indi-vidual samples are presented in Appendix C. .This section discusses the data collected for the REMP proaram. It does not include the data from the quality assurance prog,am discussed previously. Airborne Air Particulates (Tables C-1, C-2, C-3) Air particulate samples were analyzed for alpha and beta emitters, Sr-89 and -90, and gamma emitters. The weekly air particulate samples were analyzed for pross alpha activity at two stations and for gross beta activity at eight stations. Guarterly composites were prepared using the weekly samples from each station and analyzed for Sr-89, Sr-90 and specific gamma emitters. Of the 104 weekly air particulate samples (two stations) analyzed for gross alpha emitters, 96 were above detectable cgncentrations. The rance o gross' alpha acti-vity was from 0.0007 to 0.0048 pCi/m and averaged 0.0016 pCi/m 3 Weekly gross. beta analyses showed concentrations ranging from 0.00g to 0.060 pCi/m Fiaure 1 shows with the average for the eight sampling stations beina 0.027 pCi/m. the relation between gross beta activity in air and precipitation for the preopera-tional and the operational periods, showing the weapons-testina fluctuations. The Sr-89 analyses performed on the 32 quarterly composites jndicated no detectable in4ofthe32samplesrangedbetweeng.0003and0.0010pCi/m$.Sr-90 c activity. The MDLs ranged between <0.0003 and <0.0013 pCi/m The MDLs for Sr-90 ranged between 0.0002 and 0.0009 pCi/m. Results of gamma spectrometry showed detectable levels of several radionuclides, both naturally occurring and man-made (Be-7, Cs-137 and Ce-144). The presence of Be-7 throughout the year can be attributed to cosmic ray activity. Cs-137 and Ce-144 activities are due to fa} lout from previous atmospheric testing. The highest activity detected was 0.067 pCi/m of Be-7 in the second quarter composite for station APT-2S2. Air Iodine (Table C-4) Iodine cartridges were connected in series behind each of the air particulate filters for adsorption of air iodine. The adsorption media used in these cartridaes was "TEDA" impregnated cha oal. All results for I-131 were below the LLD and ranged from <0.0064 to <0.060 pCi/m 7

Precipitation (Tables C-6, C-7, C-8) Although not specifically required by the Salem ETS, precipitation was sampled con-tinuously and collected monthly at the Salem substation sampling location. The precipitation was analyzed for tritium, gross alpha and gross beta emitters on a monthly basis. Tritium activity was detected in three samples and ranged from 140 to 160 pCi/1. The LLDs ranged from <120 to <140 pCi/1. Of the eleven monthly rain water samples analyzed for gross alpha emitters, five showed detectable concentra-tions. The range of gross alpha activity was from 0.5 to 2.0 pCi/1. The LLDs ranged from <0.6 to <1.1 pCi/1. Gross beta emitter concentrations were detected in nine samples and ranged from 2.4 to 16 pCi/1 with an average of 6.3 pCi/1. Quarterly composites of precipitation were analyzed for radiostrontium and ganma emi tters. The Sr-89 levels were below the MDL which ranged from <0.2 to <2.7 pCi/1. All results for Sr-90 were also below the MDL which ranged between <0.2 and <1.1 pCi/1. Results of gamma spectrometry showed two samples with detectable levels of K-40 (14 and 26 pCi/1.) Direct (Tables C-9, C-10, C-11) Direct radiation measurements were made at forty-one different locations, using CaS0 (Tm) thermoluminescent dosimeters. During 1982, 288 monthly,113 quarterly 3 and 34 semi-annual TLD packets were collected. Each packet included four dosimeters for a total of 1740 analyses. These analyses resulted in an average dose rate of 5.76 mrads/ standard month for monthly TLDs, 5.14 mrads/ standard month for quarterly TLDs and 4.93 mrads/ standard month for semi-annual TLDs. All TLD results presented in this report have been normalized to a standard month (30.4 days) to eliminate the apparent differences caused by variations in exposure periods. When the monthly data is plotted as in Figure 2, a slight peak is observed after June 1979, while from March 1981 to May 1981 a sharp reduction in the average is noted. This peak is attributed to the elevated readings from two on-site TLD stations. Since the two stations, 10S1 and 11S1, are on-site, they do not represent any environmental dose to the public. During the year a general increase in the ambient radiation levels were noted at all locations. The monthly TLD results (Table C-9) in the last quarter of 1982 were above the levels obtained earlier in the year. Ambient radiation levels tend to fluctuate during the year due to natural varia-tions in terrestrial and airborne radiation components, due primarily to the evolution of naturally radioactive radon daughter products from the soil and the shielding affects from the moisture content of the soil (NCRP-45). The quarterly TLD measurements (Table C-10) tend to fluctuate less than the monthly TLD measure-ments due to the fact that the variation in the natural radiation components mentioned above are less pronounced when averaged over a calendar quarter. The quarterly TLD results (Table C-10) were slightly lower than some of the levels obtained earlier in the year, nevertheless, the average of the monthly and quar-terly results fall within each others error bands and are consistent. The average of all monthly TLD results and the average of only the control stations are plotted in Figure 2, to indicate that the general increase in ambient radiation levels noted occurred concurrently at indicator and control stations. A comparison of the direct radiation data for 1982 shows a similarity between the average monthly dose for both indicator stations (5.70 mrads/std. month) and control stations (6.01 mrads/std. month). 9 l l

r q l In order to better evaluate the variation between TLD results, a statistical model s, which is capable of separating a contribution by SNGS from the background component ' < has been developed. The statistical metbod-utilized is a linear rearession analysis which involves determining the functions which best describe the backaround component. by the least squares method. Six models were originally tested and arCdescribed in ' a separate publication (16). The equation 'which describes the model selected is: F (Y (CON jmi 3 im / COT ) (C0Tj / COT )) Y = j p where: f denotes a function of = Y,4 predicted value for station j, month m, and. year i = 3 preoperational mean for station j Y = j average of the control stations for month m and year i CON = im average of the control station for year i (a "p" in place COT = j of "i" represents the preoperational period) A computer program was developed for multiple repression analysis. The leasti squares fit (LSF) line based on all 1982 data was detennined along with the statistics for this line. The data for 1982 was tested against predicted values and prediction limits determined from the model period line.. Differences between m predicted and observed values are termed residuals. Residuals outside the pre-diction limits of the predicted value are identified as outliers. For 1982, thirty-five outliers were predicted from a possible 288. Eleven outliers at station 10S1 and twelve outliers at station 11S1 can be attri-buted to the refueling of Unit #1. These stations are located in the vicinity of the Refueling Water Storage Tank. Since these locations are on-site they do not represent a dose to the public. Water Surface Water (Tables C-12, C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16) Monthly surface water samples were taken at five locations in the Delaware estuary. One is downstream from the outfall area, one is in the outfall area, and another is directly west of the outfall area at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River. Two other stations are located upstream--one station is ir the river and the other is .in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The station (12C1) located at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River serves as the operational control. Surface water samples were analyzed for tritium, gross alpha, gross beta and gamma emitters, and strontium-89 and -90. s 12 .s.

Analysis of surface water for tritium yielded an average concentration of 167 pCi/l and ranged from 120 to 470 pCi/1. These levels are similar to those measured in the preoperational program as shown in Figure 3. A gradual decrease in tritium activity from 1973 to 1982 can be attributed to general reduction in the world-wide tritium inventory with the cessation of routine atmospheric testing. Gross alpha concentrations were generally below LLD, which ranged from <0.2 to <1.0 pCi/1. Four of the sixty samoles analyzed showed detectable gross alpha activity ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 pCi/1. Gross alpha activity may be expected in suspended solids from naturally occurring radionuclides especially during periods of high surface runoff. Gross beta concentrations found in fifty-nine of the sixty samoles ranged from 2.6 to 117 pCi/1 and averaged 43 pCi/1. Nearly all of the beta activity was contributed by K-40, a natural component of salt and brackish waters, as illustrated in Figure 4, which compares gross beta and K-40 concentrations in the Delaware River. Due to the flow rate variations and the tidal nature of the estuarine environment, large varia-tions in the gross beta concentrations were observed throughout the year. Much of this variation can be attributed to the tidal stage at the time of sampling. Gamma spectrometric analysis of surface water samples showed detectable concentra-tions of K-40 in forty-five of sixty samples. The average K-40 concentration was 44 pCi/l and ranged from 9.7 to 150 pCi/1. K-40 is a naturally occurring radio-nuclide which is expected to be found in salt and brackish waters. Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (<0.5 to <1.2 pCi/1) in all twenty quarterly composite samples. A detectable concentration of Sr-90 was found in one sample with a result of 0.5 pCi/1. The MDL values for the remaining samples ranged from <0.4 to <0.9 pCi/1. The maximum level of Sr-90 detected in the preoperational program was 1.6 pCi/l (4). Well Water (Tables C-17, C-18, C-19, C-20) Mcrthly well water samples were taken from two indicator wells and one control well. Ait well water samples were analyzed for tritium, gross alpha and gross beta acti-vity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption). Quarterly composites were analyzed for gamma emitters, and Sr-89 and Sr-90. No detectable concentrations of tritium were observed in any of the thirty-six well water samples analyzed. The LLDs ranged from <120 pCi/l to <140 pCi/1. Gross alpha concentrations were generally below LLD which ranged from <0.8 to <3.6 pCi/1. Four of the samples analyzed showed detectable gross alpha activity ranging between 1.3 and 1.7 pCi/1. The concentrations of gross beta emitters averaged 12 pCi/l and ranged from 6.2 to 16 pCi/1. The potassium-40 activity as determined by atomic ab-sorption averaged 10 pCi/l and ranged between 7.1 and 14 pCi/1. This indicates that the gross beta activity observed in these samples is primarily the result of naturally occurring K-40, a beta emitter. 15

F . Quarterly composites of well water samples were analyzed for gamma emitters and Sr-89 and -90. K-40 was detected by gamma spectrometry in two of the samples with results of 11 and 17 pCi/1. All results for Sr-89 were below the MDL with a range of <0.5 to <0.8 pCi/1, All results for Sr-90 were also below the MDL with a range of <0.3 to <0.7 pCi/1. Potable Water (Tables C-21, C-22, C-23, C-24) Both raw and treated water samoles were taken at the Salem Water Company, the only drinking water processing plant in the vicinity of Artificial Island. The raw water source for this plant is Laurel Lake (a tributary of the Delaware River) and several adjacent wells. Potable water samples were analyzed monthly for tritium, gross alpha and gross beta activity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption); Sr-89 and -90, and gamma emitters were analyzed on a quarterly basis. Detectable concentrations of tritium were observed in five of the twenty-four sam-ples ranging from 130 to 170 pCi/1, with no significant differences occurring be-tween the raw and treated samples. Detectable gross alpha activity was observed in thirteen of twenty-four samples ranging between 0.6 pCi/l and 3.1 pCi/l with an average of 1.2 pCi/1. Gross beta and K-40 concentrations were lower than in the saline surface water, as exoected for fresh water. The average gross beta concentrations were 3.1 pCi/l (raw) and 2.6 pCi/l (treated). The average K-40 results were 2.2 pCi/l (raw) and 2.1 pCi/l (treated). Quarterly composites of raw and treated water samples were analyzed for Sr-89 and -90 and gamma emitters. Of the eight samples analyzed for Sr-89, three showed detectable concentrations ranging from 1.1 to 1.2 pCi/1. The MDL range for Sr-89 was <0.5 to <1.3 pCi/1. Sr-90 was observed in two of the eight samples with each having a concentration of 0.6 oCi/1. The MDL range for Sr-90 was <0.4 to <0.9 pCf /1. No nuclides were detected by ganma spectrometry in any of the samples. Aquatic Benthos'(Table C-25) Benthic organisms were collected at four locations and analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (<0.02 to <24 pCi/g-dry) for all seven analyses. The wide fluctuations in MDL values were due to inconsistencies in sample size (0.05 to 25 grams dry). Sr-90 was found in one sample with a concentration of 0.03 pCi/g-dry. ) The detectable activity of this sample is within the MDL range (<0.02 to <12 pCi/g-l dry) of the other analyses. The MDL for radiostrontium as required by the Environ-1 1 mental Technical Specifications for benthic organisms was not met in all of the samples due to the impracticality of obtaining a sufficiently large sample size of benthic organisms. l Sediment (Table C-26) Sediment was collected semiannually at four locations and analyzed for Sr-90 and gamma emitters. i Levels of Sr-90 were below MDL (<0.02 to <0.05 pCi/g-dry) in all eight samples analyzed. l 16

Results of gamma spectrometry showed detectable levels of a variety of naturally occurring radionuclides as well as man-made radionuclides. Ingestion Milk (Tables C-27, C-28, C-29) Milk samples were taken twice a month from six local farms during 1982 and analyzed for I-131; gansna emitters, Sr-89 and Sr-90 were analyzed monthly. I-131 was not observed in any milk samples during 1982. Figure 5 shows the average I-131 concen-trations in milk samples resulting from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests by the Peoples Republic of China (June 1974, March 1978, and October 1980) and the Three Mile Island incident in 1979. Gamma spectrometry showed detectable concentrations of K-40 in all samples and Cs-137 in twenty-five of the seventy-two samples analyzed. The annual average concentrations were 1500 pCi/l for K-40 and 1.8 pCi/l for Cs-137. These levels were not significantly different between control and indicator stations. Strontium-89 was detected in one of the seventy-two samples analyzed with a result of 6.9 pCi/1. The range of MDL values for Sr-89 was <1.3 pCi/l to <2.7 pCi/1. The concentrations of Sr-90 were positive in sixty-nine of the seventy-two samples analyzed and averaged 2.9 pCi/1. The MDL range was <1.4 pCi/l to <1.8 pCi/1. Sr-90 concentra-tions were similar at indicator and control stations, indicating no contribution from SNGS. Due to the twenty-eight year half-life and biological assimilation, Sr-90 can be expected to remain long after routine atmospheric testing has ceased. Fish (Tables C-31, C-32) Edible fish samples (American Eel, White Perch, Channel Catfish, Spot, etc.) were collected at three locations and analyzed for tritium and gamma emitters. Fish bones were collected for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Ganina spectrometry of these samples showed K-40 in all six sangles analyzed at an average concentration of 3.1 pCi/g-wet with a range of 2.9 to 3.7 pCi/g-wet. All six bone samples analyzed for Sr-89 were below the MDL (<0.02 to <0.3 pCi/g-dry). Four of the six samples analyzed for Sr-90 had detectable concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 0.21 pCi/g-dry with an average of 0.12 pCi/g-dry. The maximum level detected during the preoperational period was 0.94 pCi/g-dry. Tritium analyses were performed on both aqueous and organic fractions of the flesh portions of these samples. Only one sample had detectable concentrations of tritium for the aqueous fraction with a result of 81 pCi/1. Of the six samples analyzed for the aqueous fraction of tritium, all results are essentially the same as those found ( ( . in surface water for the same period. Four of the six samples analyzed for the or-ganic fraction of tritium showed detectable activity ranging between 134 and 1800 pCi/1. One sample from the control station (12C1) and one sample from the indicator } station (7E1) showed results of 1740 and 1800 pCi/1, mspectively. The high results could be due to chemiluminescence in the samples; however, due to the small sample sizes, the results could not be confirmed by reanalysis. These results probably cannot be attributed to plant operation since the cit.sest indicator station (11A1) had no unusual levels.of tritium in the organic fraction. 17

I Blue Crab (Tables C-33, C-34) Blue crab samples were collected at two locations and the flesh was analyzed for gamma emitters, Sr-89 and -90, and tritium in the aqueous fraction. The shells were also analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. K-40 was the only gamma emitter detected with an average of 2.1 pCi/g-wet. All results for Sr-89 in flesh were below MDL with a range of <0.006 to <0.02 pCi/g-wet. Detectable concentration of Sr-89 was found in one of the shell samples, with a result of 0.2 pCi/g-dry. The MDL range for Sr-89 in shells was <0.04 to <0.1 pCi/g-dry. Three of four flesh sanples showed detectable activity with concentrations of 0.005 to 0.014 pCi/g-wet of Sr-90. The MDL value was <0.006 pCi/g-wet. All of the shells had detectable activity of Sr-90. The range of activities was 0.09 to 0.31 pCi/g-dry. Two samples showed detectable concentrations of tritium. The results were comoarable to tritium values found in surface water for this same period. Food Products (Table C-35) A wide variety of other human food products was sampled and analyzed for Sr-89 and -90 and ganina emitters. These included cucumbers, asparagus, peppers, cabbage, corn, soybeans and tomatoes. Sr-89 concentrations were all below MDL, which ranged from <0.003 to <0.2 pCi/g-wet. Sixteen of the twenty-three samples analyzed showed detec-table Sr-90 activity ranging from 0.002 to 0.08 pCi/g-wet. The MCts ranged from <0.002 to <0.007 pCi/g-wet. All samples contained K-40 at concentrations of 0.9 to 12 pCi/g-wet. No other gamma emitters were detected in these food products. Game (Table C-36) Two samples of muskrat were taken during this period. Bones from both samples were analyzed for Sr-89 and -90 while muskrat flesh was analyzed for gamma emitters. One sample showed a detectable concentration of Sr-89 in muskrat bones with a result of 0.07 pCi/g-dry. Detectable Sr-90 concentrations averaging 0.085 pCi/g-dry were observed in both samples. Only naturally occurring K-40 was detected in the flesh samples with results of 2.0 to 2.3 pCi/g-wet. Beef (Table C-36) Two beef samples were collected and analyzed for gamma emitters. Only naturally occurring K-40 was detected in these sanples at concentrations of 1.1 and 2.2 pCi/g-wet. 19

Beef Thyroid (Table C-36) Two beef thyroids were taken during this period and analyzed for gamma emitters. One sample showed a detectable concentration of naturally occurring K-.40 at a con-centration of 2.3 pCi/g-wet. The other sample had an LLD for K-40 of <0.6 pCi/g-wet.: No detectable concentrations of I-131 were detected in the samples. Fodder Crops (Table C-37) Ten fodder crop samples were taken at six local fams and analyzed for gama emit-ters.. Gamma spectrometry of these -samples showed K-40, a naturally occurring nuclide, in all samples ranging between 2.7 and 18 pCi/g-dry. The average for these samples was 5.9 pCi/g-dry, i ( 20

l l CONCLUSIONS The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for Salem Nuclear Generating Station at Artificial Island was conducted during 1982 in accordance with the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications. The objectives of the program were met during this period. The data collected assists in demonstrating that SNGS Units #1 and #2 were operated in compliance with Environmental Technical Specifications. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the levels and fluctuations of radioactivity in environmental samples were as expected for an estuarine en-vi ronment. With the possible exception of the organic fraction of tritium in fish flesh, no increases were observed in either radionuclide concentrations in critical pathways or with respect to radionuclide build up. The elevated levels of tritium in the organic fraction of fish flesh can probably be attri-buted to chemiluminescence rather than plant operation. Ambient radiation levels were relatively low, averaging about 5.76 mrad /std. month. No other unusual radiological characteristics were observed in the environs of Artificial Island. The operation of SNGS Units #1 and #2 had no discernable effect on the radiological characteristics of the environs of Artificial Island. 21

APPENDIX B Sample Designation RMC identifies samples by a three part code. The first two letters are the power station identification code, in this case "SA". The next three letters are for the media sampled. Air Iodine GAM Game AIO = = Immersion Dose (TLD) Air Particulates IDM APT = = Milk Hard Shell Blue Crab MLK ECH = = Potable Water (Raw) Benthos PWR ESB = = Potable Water (Treated) Edible Fish PUT ESF = = Sedinent RWA Rain Water ESS = = Beef SWA Surface Water FPB = = Bovine Thyroid Food Products, Various THB FPV = = Fodder Crops; Vegetation Grains VGT FPG = = Green Leafy Vegetables WWA Well Water FPL = = The last four symbols are a location code based on direction and distance from the site. Of these, the first two represent each of the sixteen angular sectors of 22.5 degrees centered about the reactor site. Sector one is divided evenly by the north axis and other sectors are numbered in a clockwise direction; i.e., 2=NNE, 3=NE, 4=ENE, etc. The next digit is a letter which represents the radial distance from the plant: 4-5 miles off-site On-site location E S = = 5-10 miles off-site 0-1 miles off-site F A = = 10-20 miles off-site 1-2 miles off-site G B = = >20 miles off-site 2-3 miles off-site H C = = 3-4 miles off-site D = The last number is the station numerical designation within each sector and zone; e.g.,1,2,3,... For example, the designation SA-WWA-5D1 would indicate a sample in the SNGS program SA, consisting of well water (WWA), which had been collected in the 22.5 degree sector centered on each axis (5), at a distance of 3 to 4 miles off-site (D). The number 1 indicates that this is sampling station

  1. 1 in the designated area.

M-APPENDIX D-1 SYNOPSIS OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES UTILIZED BY RMC 97 m

l GROSS ALPHA ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES Total Water (AO, A1) A 250 ml (AO) or one 1 (A1) aliquot of the sample is evaporated to dryness on a hot plate in a preweighed, 2" X 1/4" ringed planchet, allowed to cool, and re-weighed. The planchet is counted in a low-background, gas flow proportional 3 counter. Self-absorption corrections are made based on the measured sample weight and calculated thickness. The calibration standard used is Pu-239. A 250 ml or one 1 sample of distilled water is evaporated in the same manner and used as a blank. Total Salt Water (AA) Alpha emitters are concentrated initially from a liter aliquot of water sample by coprecipitation with magnesium hydroxide. The precipitate is then dissolved in hydrochloric acid and titanium trichloride is added to the solution. The alpha emitters are coprecipitated by adding barium chloride and sulfuric acid to pre-cipitate barium sulfate. The precipitate is transferred to a tared stainless steel planchet and dried. The planchet is reweighed and counted in a low back-ground gas-flow proportional counter. Self-absorption corrections are made on the basis of the weight of the precipitate. Calculations are made utilizing the following equations: Result (pCi/1) = ((S/T) - (8/t)) / (2.22 V E TF) 2 sigma error (pCi/1) = 2 ((S/T ) + (B/t ))1/2 / (2.22 V E TF) 2 2 where: Gross counts of sample S = Counts of blank B = Fractional Pu-239 counting efficiency E = Number of minutes sample was counted T = Number of minutes blank was counted t = Sample aliquot size (liters) V = Transmission factor (based on net weight of sample TF = in counting planchet) Calculation of lower limit of detection (LLD) The detection limit is assumed to be exceeded when the counting result is different from the blank reading by at least 4.66 times the standard deviation of that back-ground. LLD (pCi/1) = 4.66 (B1/2) / (2.22 V E TF t) where: Counts of blank B = Fractional Pu-239 counting efficiency E = Number of minutes blank was counted t = Sample aliquot size (liters) V = Transmission factor (based on net weight of sample TF = in counting planchet) 99

GROSS BETA ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES Total Water (B0, B1) A 250 ml (89) or one 1 (B1) aliquot is evaoorated to dryness on a hot plate in a preweighed, 2" X 1/4", ringed planchet' and reweighed. The planchet is then counted in a low background gas-flow proportional counter. Self-absorption corrections are made based on the measured residue weight and calculated thickness. The calibration standard used is Sr Y-90. A 250 ml or one 1 sample of distilled water is evapo-rated in the same manner and used as a blank.

i ENVIRONMENTAL DOSIMETRY (DS, D1, D2) Measurement Techniques Each dosimeter utilized is a capillary tube containing calcium sulfate (Tm) powder as the thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) material. This was chosen primarily for its high light output, minimal thermally induced signal loss (fading), and lack of self-dosing. The energy response curve has been flattened by a complex multi-ple elemeni. energy compensation shield supplied by. Panasonic Corporation, manu-facturer of the TLD reader. The four dosimeters per station are sealed in a polyethylene bag to demonstrate integrity at time of measurement. Visible through the bag are the sample placement instructions. One set of TLDs is placed in a lead shield at RMC and represents a zero dose. The TLDs are then taken and placed in the field stations; one field TLD set is placed in a field lead shield at station 18 and is used in calculating the in-transit dose. Following the pre-designated exposure period the TLD is heated with hot gas and the luminescence measured with a TLD reader. Data are normalized to standard machine conditions by correcting machine settings to zero before readout. Data are corrected for in-transit dose using a set of TLDs which is kept in a lead shield in the field and only exposed during transit. Average dose per exposure period, and its error, are calculated. The basic calibration is in mR exposure to a standard Cs-137 source. This is converted to absorbed dose in tissue by the factor : 0.955 rad / Roentgen and to dose equivalent by using a quality factor of 1. Calculations are made utilizing the following equations: (G-Z) R C 0.955 mrad / Roentgen T = SZ - (RZ DL / DR) I = T-I N = n ((sum N) / n) (30.4 / DL) Average = i=1 t (n-1) (SD / n /2) (30.4 / DL) l Error = where: Individual TLD reading corrected to standard instrument T = conditions Gross reading of dosimeter i G = Zero for dosimeter, i Z = Correction factor of reader (see Procedure T-6) R = Calibration factor dosimeter i C = I In-transit dose = Mean of n dosimeters in site lead shield SZ = Mean of n dosimeters in RMC lead shield RZ = Exposure period of location (days) DL = Exposure period of RMC0 (days) DR = 101 _____________________A

l l ANALYSIS OF WATER SAMPLES FOR POTASSIUM-40 BY AA (E0) Sample Preparation An aliquot sample size of 100 ml is filtered. The concentration of potassium is determined soectrochotometrically on a Perkin Elmer Model 373 atomic absorotion unit. The result obtained, in micrograms per milliliter, is multiplied by the specific activity of 0.12% for natural potassium to determine the amount of potassium-40 oresent in the samole. The error reported is 10% of the result. A sample of distilled water is processed as a blank. Calculations are made using the following equations: K-40 (pCi/l) Cs D (C/S) K = LLD (pCi/l) Cs D (.1/S) K = where: Concentration of Standard (pg K/ml) Cs = Sample reading C = Standard reading S = Dilution factor D = Specific activity of K-40 per unit weight of potassium (.852 pCi/mg) K = 103 a

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR TRITIUM Water (H2) A 15 ml aliquot of the samole is vacuum distilled to eliminate dissolved gases and non-volatile matter. The distillate is frozen in a trap cooled with a dry ice-isopropanol mixture. Eight (8) ml of the distillate are mixed with ten (10) ml of Insta-Gel liquid scintillation solution. The samole is then counted for tritium in a liquid scintillation counter. A sample of low tritium (<50 pCi/1) water is vacuum cistilled as a blank and is counted with each batch of samples. In the calculation of the result it is assumed that the condensated and original sample are of equivalent volumes. The volume change associated with the removal of dissolved gases and non-volatile matter is not significant compared to the other errors in the analysis. Calculations are made utilizing the following equations: Result ~(pCi/1) ((S/T) - (B/t)) / (2.22 V E) = 2 2 2 ((S/T ) + (B/t ))1/2 / (2.22 V E) 2 sigma error (pCi/1) = where: Total gross counts of sample S = Counts of blank B = Fractional H-3 counting efficiency E = Number of minutes sample was counted T = Number of minutes blank was counted t = Aliquot volume (liters) V = Gross counts of sample may be corrected for the blank activity.

l ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR 10 DINE-131 Milk or Wa9r (IO) The initial stable iodide concentration in milk is determined with an iodide ion specific electrode. Thirty milligrams of stable iodide carrier is then added to four (4) liters of milk. The iodide is removed from the milk by passage through ion-exchange res,in. The iodide is eluted from the resin with sodium hypochlorite, and purified cy a series of solvent extractions with the final extraction into a toluene phase. The toluene phase is mixed with a toluene-based liquid scintilla-tion solution. The sample is then counted in a beta-gated gamma coincidence de-tector, shielded by six inches of steel. Distilled water is used as a blank. The yield is calculated from stable iodine recovery based on the recovered volume. Calculations are made utilizing the following equations: (S-B) / (2.22 V E F Y T) Result = (pCi/1) 2 (S+B)1/2 / (2.22 V E,F Y) 2 sigma error = (pCi/l) 4.66 (B1/2) / (2.22 V E F Y T) LLD = (pCi/1) where: Gross counts of sample in channels containing I-131 peak S = Background counts in channels containing I-131 peak B = Number of minutes sample was counted T = Iodine-131 counting efficiency E = Sample aliquot size ~ V = Fractional gama abundance F = Chemical yield of iodine Y = Air Cartridges (II) An iodine adsorber composed of charcoal is emptied into an aluminum can (6 cms high by 8 cms in diameter) and counted with a NaI(Tl) scintillation detector, coupled to a multi-channel pulse-height analyzer.

If peaks are identified, the spectrum obtained is smoothed to minimize the effects of random statistical fluctu-ations. The presence of iodine-131 is identified by the presence of a 364 Kev peak. The net area above the baseline is calculated. This area is converted to activity in curie units, making allowance for counting efficiency and gamma ray abundance. A PDP-11 computer program is used for spectrum analysis. Results are corrected for de-cay from the sampling time to the middle of the counting period, using a half-life value for I-131 of 8.06 days.

GAlifM Af1ALYSIS OF AIR PARTICULATE COMPOSITES At the end of each calendar quarter,13 weekly air filters from a given location are stacked in a two inch diameter Petri dish in chronological order, active area facing down, with the oldest filter at the bottom, nearest the detector, and the newest one on top. The Petri dish is closed and the sample counted on a Ge(Li) detector for 500 minutes. Calculation of Gamma Activity A special program developed by Tracor florthern is run on a PDP-11 computer. Photo-peaks are located by passing a digital filter through the spectrum, channel-by-channel, with the effect that the background portion of the spectrum is greatly reduced, leaving the peaks intact. To compute the desired net count under any one of these photopeaks, a background baseline is established extending from 1.5 times the full-width-at-half-max above, to the same distance below the centroid. The counts under this baseline are then subtracted out from the total number of counts under the photopeak. The following are the calculations perfonned for the gamma activity, 2 sigma error and LLD: 3 Result = (pCi/m ) = fl*D =R (2.22)*(E)*(A)*(T)*(V) fl = flet counts under photopeak D = Decay correction factor At1*EXP(At2) 1-EXP(-Ati) t1 = Acquisition live time t2 = Elapsed time from sample collection to start of acquisition = 0.693/nuclide half life E = Detector efficiency A = Gamma abundance factor (no. of photons per disintegration) T = Acquisition liv 3 V = Sample volume, m 2.22 = lio, of dpm's per pCi 2 sigma error (pC1/m ) = 2 * (ok +os 2)1/2 3 ~ 1/2 ok = statistical error of the ok = 1 n 1

A blank, composed of the same number of clean air filters, is prepared in the same way. Stable strontium carrier is then introduced into each sample and a couple of fuming acid leachings are carried out to remove the radiostrontium from the filter media. Once this is done, the resultant nitrates are dissolved in distilled water and the filter residue is filtered out. Radioactive interferences are stripped out by coprecipitation on ferric hydroxide (yttrium strip) followed by a barium chromate strip. The strontium, now largely devoid of any radio-logical impurities, is converted to a carbonate form which is dried and weighed. The samples and blank are then counted on a low background gas proportional counter and, again, at least 14 days later. The basis for this two count method is that Sr-90 and Sr-89 are both unknown quantities requiring two simultaneous equations to solve for them.

Af4ALYSIS OF RAW MILK FOR RAD 10STR0fiTIUM A stable strontium carrier is first introduced into a one liter milk sample and into a distilled water sample of equal volume to be used as a blank. The sam-ple(s) and blank are passed through cation resin columns which pick up stron-tium, calcium, magnesium and other cations. These cations are then eluted off with a TRIS-buffered 4ft sodium chloride solution into a beaker and precipitated as carbonates upon heating. The carbonates are converted to nitrates with 6fl nitric acid and, by acidifying further to an overall concentration of 70% ni-tric acid, strontium is forced out of solution somewhat ahead of calcium. Barium chromate precipitation is then performed to remove any traces of radium and radio-barium. Strontium recrystallization is carried out to remove residual calcium which may have been coprecipitated with the initial strontium precipitation. Another recrystallization removes ingrown Y-90, marking the time of the yttrium strip. The strontium is reconverted to the carbonate, filtered, dried and weighed to determine strontium recovery. The samples and blank are then counted on a low background gas proportional counter and, again, at least 14 days later.

AftALYSIS OF WATER SAf1PLES FOR TRITIUf4 Approximately 50 ml of raw sample is mixed with sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate and is distilleg under vacuum. Eight ml of distilled sample is mixed with 10 ml of Instagel liquid scintillation solution, and placed in the liquid scintillation spectrometer for counting. Prepared simultaneously for counting is the internal standard. This is done by mixing eight ml of sample, 10 ml of Instagel, and 0.1 ml of a standard with known activity. The efficiency is detennined from this. Also prepared is a blank consisting of eight ml of distilled low-tritiated water and 10 ml of Instagel, to be used for a background determination. This is done for each pair of samples to be counted.

RADIOSTRONTIUM IN WATER Stable strontium carrier is first introduced into a two liter water sample and 4 into a distilled water sample of the same volume which is used as a blank. The sample (s) and blank are then made alkaline and heated to near boiling before pre-cipitating the carbonates. The' carbonates are converted over to nitrates by - fuming nitric acid recrystallization which acts to purify the sample of most of the calcium. Radioactive interferences are stripped out by coprecipitation on ferric hydroxide (yttrium strip) followed by a barium chromate strip. The stron-tium, now largely devoid of any chemical or radiological impurities, is converted back to a carbonate form before being dried and weighed. The samples and blank are then counted on a low background gas proportional counter and, again, at least 14 days later. The basis for this two count method is that Sr-90 and Sr-89 are both unknown quantities requiring two simultaneous equations to solve for them. Since surface waters, as well as some drinking water samples, have been found to contain significant amounts of stable strontium, a separate aliquot from each sample is analyzed for stable strontium via DC Argon Plasma Emission. These results are used in correcting the chemical recovery of strontium to its true val ue.'
