SUMMARY

This report describes the Radiological Environmental. Monitoring Program conducted during 1989 in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley

                 -Power Station Units 1 and'                                2.             The Radiological Environmental Program consists-of off-site monitoring of water,                                                air,   river
 , I.             sediments, soils,                           food pathway samples,-and radiation levels in the vicinity of the site. This report discusses the results of this monitoring during 1989.

I Duquesne Light _ Coarpany operates the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 pressurized water reactors as part of the Central Area Power Coordination Group. The Beaver Valley Power-Station Unit I was shutdown on September 1, 1989 for the Seventh Refueling Outage. Unit 1 was returned to service on December 26, 1989. The highest average daily output generated during the year was 817 megawatts net 'in March, 1989, and the total gross electrical generation during the year was 4,026,350 megawatt-hours. Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 2 was shutdown on March 17, 1989 for the First Refueling Outage. Unit 2 was returned to service on May 29, 1989 and operated throughout the year. The highest average daily output guerated during the year was 821 megawatts net in October, 1989, and the total gross electrical generation during the year was 4,836,300 megawatt-hours. I

SUMMARY

(continued) ( In 1989, samples were taken from over 60 sites around Beaver  ! ii Valley Power Station that included the aquatic, atmospheric and - terrestrial environments. More than 3,000' analyses were performed on these samples. I During the year, the-radioactive releases from BVPS Units 1 and-2 - ! did not exceed the Limiting-Conditions for Operation identified in. .;- the -Beaver Valley Power Station ' Operating License Technical .q Specifications for Units 1 and 2. Based upon the estimated. dose to individuals from the natural background radiation exposure,'the incremental increase in total body dose'to the 50-mile population -

                                                                         ="

(4 million people) . from the operation o. Beaver Valley Power Station - Unit No. I and No. 2, is less=than 0.0003%_of the annual background. See Section V.I for specific details. The National Academy of Sciences 1980 BEIR Report shows that'the typical dow to- an individual from natural radiation exposure is 101 mrem per year. r. i The environmental monitoring program outlined in-the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications was followed throughout 1989. The results for each media-are contained in Section V of this report. Examination ~ of effluents and environmental media show that the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 operations have not adversely affected the surrounding environment. 4

A. Scope and Objectives of the Program 3 The environmental- program consists- of -environmental
g monitoring for radioactivity.in the vicinity of the Beaver g Valley Power Station. Environmental sampling and analyses .l included air, water, milk, soil, vegetation, river sediments, t fish, and ambient radiation levels in areas surrounding the  ;

site. The results of these media are assessed to determine

 .I             impacts of the plant Loperation- on' the environment. The Annual Radiological Environmental = Report for the Beaver Valley      Power    Station     summarizes   the     radiological   .p I.             environmental program conducted by the Duquesne Light Company in 1989.

. B. Description of the Beaver Valley Site-The Beaver Valley Power Station is located on the south bank of the Ohio River in the Borough of Shippingport, Beaver I. County,. Pennsylvania, on a 501 acre tract of land. Figure 4 1.0 is a view of the Beaver Valley Power Station. _ 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 population centers. Population density 'in the immediate vicinity of the site is relatively low. The ..I population within a 5 mile radius 'of the plant is approximately 18,000 and the only area within that radius'of concentrated population is the Borough of Midland, , I- Pennsylvania, with a population of'approximately 4,300. The . site lies in a valley along the Ohio River. I It extends. from the river (elevation 665 feet above sea level) to a , l ridge along the border. south of the Beaver Valley Power f l Station at an elevation of 1,160 feet. Plant ground level is approximately 735 feet above sea level. The Beaver Valley Power Station is on the Ohio River at river mile 34.8, at a location on the New Cumberland Pool that is 3.3 river miles downstream from Montgomery Lock and Dam,-and l 19.4 miles upstream from New Cumberland Lock and Dam. The 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 I ranges from a minimum of approximately 5000 cubic feet per second (CFS) to a maximum of approximately 100,000 CFS. mean annual flow is approximately 25,000 CFS. The g . , 1

 .      Water temperature of the-Ohio River varies from 32'F to B4*F, the minimum temperatures occur in January and/or February and maximum temperatures in 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 36 l{ inches, typical yearly temperatures vary from approximately - 5 i 3'T to 93*F with an annual average -temperature of 52.8'F.  ; The predominant wind direction is typically from the.

Heat is given up from-the primary system to the secondary system in the steam generators, where steam is formed and delivered to the main unit turbine, which drives the electrical generator. The steam is condensed L after passing through the turbine, and returned to'the steam generators to begin another steam / water cycle.

SECTION.ll DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY  ! 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report II. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Plant operations at the Beaver Valley Power Statien had no adverse effects on the environment as a result of activity at the station during 1989. The Beaver Valley Power Station Unit I was shutdown on September 1,.1989 for the Seventh Refueling Outage. Unit I was returned -to # service on December 26, 1989. Beaver-Valley Power Station Unit 2

,                was-shutdown on' March 17, 1989.for the First Refueling Outage, Unit 2- was returned- tol service on June 3, 1989 and operated throughout the year. During the year, the radioactive releases were below the limits of 10 CFR Part- 50, Appendix I.                The releases at Beaver Valley Power Station Units. 1 and 2 did not exceed the. limiting conditions- identified in the Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2             Operating    License   Technical Specifications.

The environmental program for 1989-was the same as in 1988 except for several changes in- dairy locationsL which were . revised as required by the Beaver Valley Technical Specifications. (Refer to Table V. A.1 for the 1989 Radiological Monitoring Program Outline). The Beaver Valley Power Station Technical Specifications require-sampling of three (3) dairies which have- the highest calculated milk pathway potential and one large local dairy. The three-dairies are determined from calculations based on - the - metcorological -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 ' I- revisions due to updated calculations and surveys normally- result in sampling of several additional dairies during the year in. i

different sampling periods.

The Environmental Monitoring Program also includes two larger dairies in order to provide continuity in the sampling / analyses ,I - program and a control location. Samples from each of these dairies are obtained in addition to the four dairies required by !_ the Environmental Technical Specifications. .The collection periods associated with each of the locations are provided in the detailed summary of the milk monitoring program of this report (Section V-E). + l r 4 F

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS (continued) Activity ~ detected was attributable ,to naturally occurring-- re.dionuclides, BVPS of fluents, previous.' nuclear weapons tests or to the normal statistical fluctuation- for; activities near the lower limit of detection (LLD). The positive =results attributable-to the Beaver Valley Power Station were consistent.with station data of authorized radioactive discharges and were within limits permitted by the NRC-license. i The - ~ results- and conclusions for each media of the 1989 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are contained in

~ SECTION III DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY-1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report III. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING CONSIDERATIONS A. -Environmental Quality Control Programs. 1 } The Quality Control (QC) Program used for the Beaver Valley  ! Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Program consisted of l I seven (7) elements. It should be noted that the comparisons made were at very low levels of. radioactivity and _l consequently, the activities at these levels are difficult to i I measure. However, acceptable correlation was achieved 'in most instances as outlined in the discussions and tables which follow. y

1. TLD Monitoring (Duquesne Light Company (DLC) Contractor Laboratory and QC Laboratory)  ;

Thirteen (13) TLDs from the Contractor Laboratory and QC .;' Laboratory are co-located, replaced quarterly and results compared. The average of the. contractor i l laboratory and the average of the quality control laboratory agree within i 5 . 3*. of the mean of all i results. This is well within the precision of typical .! TLD Systems. Summary data of the TLD Monitoring Progrtan 1 is provided in Table III.1.

2. Split Sample Program (DLC Contractor Laboratory - DLC QC l*

Laboratory) Samples of surf ace (river) water ar.d drinking water were  ; routinely split and analyzed by the DLC Contractor ' I Laboratory and the DLC .QC Laboratory. In addition,-  ; samples of other media, such as milk, soil, sediment and , feedcrop were also split with the DLC QC Laboratory.  ; A summary of results of split water samples is provided in Table III.2. Five (5) of eight (8) split drinking and surface water samples analyzed for Gr-B were not in cgreement. The disagreement in the Gr-B split water samples- is attributed to differences in the analytical  ; procedures used by the two laboratories. This issue has

>I                          been identified to the laboratories and will be resolved                             -i in 1990. The two (2) spiked Gr-B water samples and EPA                                      !

Interlaboratory Cross Check Program Gr-B'results are in I agreement. See Appendix I and II; A summary of milk, sediment and feed / food crop split samples is provided in Table III.3. Some variation is expected due to small variations in duplicate samples, variations .in I analytical procedures, and in calibration, source type,. l etc. I 1

Spiked samples prepared by DLC QC Laboratory were

                     . routinely submitted to the Contractor Laboratory for.                                                                            i analysis. Tables III 4 (water) and III.5 (milk) provide                                                                           l data from this portion of the aQC 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 charcoal samples alternated from week to week. Duplicate monthly air particulate filters, composited from the weekly air particulate filters, were analyzed 6 months out of the year for gamma activity. Duplicate quarterly air particulate _ filters, composited from the weekly air particulate filters, were analyzed for Sr 89 and Sr-90 activity for each quarter of the year. Table III.6 provides data for this portion of th . QC program.

5. Contractor and QC Laboratory - Internal QC Program Tne Contractor and QC Laboratory maintained their own QC Program which' included participation in the Cnvironmental Protection Agency -

Environmental Monitoring Setety Laboratory- (EPA - EMSL) Interlaboratory Cross Check Program. This cross check' - program indicated that the Contractor and QC Laboratory results were in agreement with EPA EMSL. See Appendix I and 11. DLC also audited the Contractor- and QC Laboratory and determined that internal QC practices were in effect and that procedursa and laboratory analytical techniques conformed to approved DLC procedures. l i e

Pennsylvania Departrnent of Environmental Resources Program The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources (PDER) also conducted a surveillance program in the vicinity of the site. Samples of air, river water, I drinking water, sediment, milk, vegetation, fish and radiation monitoring are included in their program. Comparison of results also indicated agreement between I the PDER Laboratory and the Duquesne Light Jompany Contractor Laboratory. B. Evaluation of the Quality Control (QC) Program Data . The split and spiked sample program indicates that the Contractor and QC Laboratory are generally performing I satisfactorily in accordance with "CriteriaforComp'aring Analytical Measurements from NRC Compliance Office. In addition, an independent laboratory is used to supplement the I regular program. Comparisons between the independent, QC and Contractor laboratories are acceptable at.J demonstrate a satisfactory performance by the DLC contractor. All media were found to be in agreement in accordance with NRC criteria I with the exception of those media in Tables III.2 - III.7 identified with an asterisk (*). Based on all available QC data and the data from the Contractor and QC Laboratory's internal EPA Interlaboratory Cross Check Program, the Environmental Monitoring Program for I 1989 is acceptable with respect to both accuracy and measurement. C. Standard Requirements and Limitations for Radiological and Other Effluents The Beaver Valley Power Station is governed by rules and regulations of the Federal Government and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Effluent releases are controlled to ensure that limits set by Federal or State governments are not

  )              exceeded.      In   addition,    self-imposed limits have been established to further limit discharges to the environment.          ;

2. Airborne Effluent Treatment and Sampi g  ;

Beaver Valley Power Station (Units 1 and 2) Radioactive gases enter the gaseous waste disposal system from the degasifier vent chiller of the boron recovery system, and are directed to the gaseous waste  ; charcoal delay subsystem upstream of the overhead gas l compressor where the gas is chilled to condense most of the water vapor. Gases from the degasifier vent chillers contain primarily hydrogen and water vapor. A small amount of nitrogen and radioisotopes consisting of noble gases, particulates and radiciodines are also i present in the eight continuous ventilation system pathways. I The overhead gas compressor directs the radioactive gas stream.to a gas surge tank. Gas is periodically - discharged from the Unit 1 or Unit 2 surge tank to one of the three (3) decay tanks at Unit 1 or one of the seven (7) decay tanks at Unit 2. After the decay tanks are sampled and authorization obtained for discharge, > the flow of the waste gases from the decay tanks (2 scfm) is recorded and rapidly diluted with about 1000 scfm 'of air in order to dilute hydrogen and radioactive effluent concentration. The gases are then combined with nitrogen purge from the decay tank radiation monitor and oxygen analyzers, calibration gas from the ' oxygen analyzers, the main condenser air ejector exhaust, the containment vacuum system exhaust, aerated vents of the vent and drain system, discharge of the ' overhead gas compressor and the purge from the multi , sample pos.nt radiation monitor. 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 discharged by one of the gaseous waste disposal blowers to the atmosphere via the process vent on the top of the Unit ) cooling tower. The radioactivity levels of the stream tre monitored continuously. 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 Unit 1 or Unit 2 decay tanks being discharged. , I.

~ SECTION IV LUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report IV. MONITORING ETTLUENTS B. Monitoring of Airborne Ef fluents (continued) [ 2. Airborne Effluent Treatment and Sampling (continued) Beaver Valley Power Station (continued) During a shutdown period after the Unit 1 or Unit 2 containment has been sampled and the activity levels I determined, purging may commence through the Ventilation Vent located on top of the Auxiliary Building or the Supplementary Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS) I Vent located on top of the Reactor Containment Building or the Process Vent located on top of the Cooling Tower. Areas in the Unit 1 Auxiliary Building (subject to I radioactive contamination) are monitored for radioactivity prior to entering the common Ventilation Vent. These individual radiation monitors aid in I identifying any sources of contaminated air. The Ventilation Vent is also monitored continuously by several redundant channels of the Radiation Monitoring I System (RMS) and is sampled periodically. Upon a high activity 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 I (SLCRS) and to the SLCRS Vent. Areas in the Unit 2 Auxiliary Building (subject to radioactive contamination) are monitored for radioactivity prior to entering the filter banks for the Supplementary Leak Collection and Release System (SLCRS) Vent. This is I system sampled periodically for determination of radioactive material and is monitored continuously by other channels of the Digital Radiation Monitoring System (DRMS). Each Unit 1 and Unit 2 filter bank consists of roughing filters, charcoal filters, and pleated glass fiber type I HEPA 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 removal and the i HEPA filters remove particulates and charcoal fines. Release points for Unit I and Unit 2 of the Beaver I Valley Power Station are shown in Figure 4.7.

j SECTION IV DUQLTSNE LIGHT COMPANY 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report IV. MONITORING EpTLt'ENT,S C. Solid Vaste Disposal at the Beaver Valley Power Station During Beaver Valley Power Station normal operations and periodic maintenance, small quantities of solid radioactive waste materials were generated such as evaporator concentrates, contaminated rags, paper, plastics, filters, spent ion exchange resins, and miscellaneous tools and equipment. These were disposed of as solid radioactive waste. The services of offsite vendors were used to segregate and super compact the vaste. At the Beaver Valley Power Station, the compactable wastes are segregated and compressed in $$- gallon drums to minimize disposal volumes. The compressed waste was shipped for disposal at a commercial radioactive material burial site licensed by the Nuclear .Reguistory Commission (NRC) or a state under agreement with the NRC. No radioactive waste material was buried at the Beaver Valley Power Station site. All containers used for packaging, transport, and disposal of radioactive materials met the requirements of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Shipments offsite were made in a:cordance with DOT and NRC regulations. Figure 4.8 depicts solid waste handling at the site. At Beaver Valley Power Station approximately 9,600 cubic feet of radioactive solid waste was buried offsite in 1989. The forty-three (43) shipments contained a total activity of 1,349 curies. Industrial solid wastes were collected in portable bins, and removed to an approved offsite burial ground. No burning or burial of wastes was conducted at the Beaver Valley Power Station site. 4 I

Periore gamma isotopic analysis on each sample when gross hna is > 10 times the yearly mean of - L control samples. (d) Analysis compositsc are well mixed actual samples prepared of  : equal portions from each shorter term samples from each location. (e) Composite samples are collected at intervals not exceeding 2 b hours. (f) Weekly milk- sample from Searight's Dairy is analyzed for I-131 only. (g) Milk samples are collected bi-weekly when animals are in i pasture and monthly at other times. [ Assume April - October for grazing season (pasture).] (h) The milk samples from Brunton's and Nicol's are collected once per month. (1) The fish samples will contain whatever species are available. If the available sample size permits, then the sample will be I.yj , separated according to species and compositing will provide ' one sample of each species. If the available size is too 3 small to make separation by_ species practical, then edible E parts of all fish in the sample will be mixed to give one sample. (j) Composite samples are collected _at intervals not exceeding 2 hours at locations 49.1 and 2.1. Weekly grab samples are j obtained at location 3, 49 and 2A. A weekly grab sample is - also obtained from daily composited grab samples obtained by  : the water treatment plant operator at location 5.  !

L SECT 10N V - A DUQUESNE L1 Gilt COMPANY ll! ' 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report- - V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING A. Environmental Radioactivity Monitoring Program (continued) 1 + 2.- Summary of Results All results of this monitoring program are summarized in Table V.A.2. 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 A, Technical; Specifications).- Summaries of results of analysis of. each ' media are discussed in-Sections V-B through V H and an assessment of radiation :g I doses are found in'Section V-I. Table V.A.3 summarizes' g4 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 generally in good agreement for both periods of time. Activity detected was attributed to naturally occurring radionuclides, BVPS effluents, previous nuclear weapons, tests or. to the normal statistical fluctuation for 3 activities near the lower limit of detection (LLD). gi The conclusion from all program data is'.that the-operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station has resulted in insignificant changes to the environment.

3. Quality Control Program The Quality Control Program implemented by Duquesne Light Company to assure reliable performance by the DLC contractor and the supporting QC data are presented and discussed in Section III of this report. The lower limits of detection for various analysis for each media mor.itored by this program by -the DLC Contractor l Laboratory are provided in Table V.A.4. E-d

B. Air Monitoring f ^

1. Characterization of Air and Meteorology -

The air in the vicinity of the site contains pollutants

                 -typical for an industrial area. Air flow is generally               '

from the Southwest in summer and from the Northwest in the winter. _ i

                       -site air sampling stations. The' locations of these stations are listed in Table V.A.1 and,shown on a           _

map-in Figure S.B.I. Samples are collected at each of these stations by_ continuously drawing about one cubic foot per

                                                                                             }

minute of atmosphere air through a glass fiber. filter and through a enarcoal cartridge. . The former collects airborne particulates; the latter is for radioiodine sampling. Samples are collected- 5; for analysis on a weekly basis. The charcoal is used in the weekly analysis of airborne 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 sample from each. station for Sr-89 and Sr-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 for beta in-a low background counting system.

b. Procedures Gross Beta analysis is performed by placing the -1 filter paper from the weekly air sample in a 2" x 'L 1/4" planchet and counting it in a low background, .j

Strontium-89 and Strontium-90 activities are I determined in quarterly composited air particulate filters. . Stable strontium carrier is- added to the sample and it is leached in nitric acid to bring I depesits into solution.. The mixture is then filtered. Half of the filtrate is taken for . strontium analysis and is reduced in volume by evaporation. Strontium is  ! as Sr(NO3 ): using fuming I precipitated nitric acid. An iron (90*4) (ferric hydroxide) , scavenge is performed, followed by addition of stable yttrium carrier and a 5 to 7 day period for yttrium I ' ingrowth. Yttrium is then precipitated as hydroxide, is dissolved and re-precipitated 'as oxalat;e. The yttrium oxalate is mounted on a nylon planchet and is , I counted in a low' level beta counter to infer Sr-90 l activity. Sr-89 activity is determined by l precipitating SrCO from the sample after yttrium  ! separation. This . precipitate is mounted on a : nylon l planchet and is covered with 80 mg/cm 8 aluminum absorber for level beta counting.

s. ^ SECTION V - B DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1989 Annual Radiological Environmen.tal Report - V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING B. Air Monitoring (continued) I -3. Results and Conclusions (continued)

a. Airborne Radioactive Particulates.(continued)

The weekly air particulate samples were composited to one hundred twenty (120) monthly samples which I were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. Naturally _! occurring Bo-7 was present in every sample, ' Occasional traces' above detection levels of other i I naturally occurring nuclides such as K-40 were present. These are listed in the summary Table V.A.2. ' I A total of forty _(40) quarterly samples were each 1 analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Sr-90 was detected'in I one sample atz Location 46, Industry, PA. The I positive result may be attributed to Station releases, however, none of the_ other sample g locations showed positive results and this_ positive j result is more likely attributable to expected variability in the analyses _results of very low 1 levels of activity, i I l Based on the analytical results, the operation of  ! Beaver Valley Power Station did not contribute to any increase in air particulate radioactivity I during CY 1989. '

b. Radioiodine I A total of five hundred twenty '(520) weekly l charcoal filter samples were analyzed for I-131. .

No detectable concentrations' were found at any I locations.  ! Based on- analytical results, the operation of I Beaver Valley Power Station did not contribute to l any increase in airborne radiciodine during CY 1989. l

SECTION V - C DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING C. Monitoring of Sediments and' Soils (Soil Monitoring is required-every 3= years and was not required in 1989)

1. Characterization of Stream Sediments and Soils The stream sediments' consist largely of. sand and silt.

Soil samples may vary from sand and silt to a heavy clay with variable amounts of organic material,

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
a. Program i

River bottom sediments were cc,11ected semi-annually. g', above the Montgomery Dam in the vicinities of the- gt Beaver..' Valley discharge and Shippingport discharge ' and above 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 - f and are shown in Figure 5.C.I. Bottom sediments are analyzed for gross alpha and , beta activity, strontium, uranium, and _the gamma-emmitting radionuclides. I

b. Analytical Procedures = I-q Gross beta = sediments and soils 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, gas flow proportional counter.

Self absorption corrections are made-on the basis of sample weight. ^ l Gross alpha activity of sediment or soil is analyzed in the same manner.as gross beta except that the counter is set up to count only alpha. Gamma analysis of sediment or soilL is performed in a 300 ml plastic bottle which is counted by a gamma-spectrometer, i I l l

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
a. Program ,

Representative samples of cattle feed are collected monthly from the nearest. dairy (Searight). See Figure 5.D.1. Each sample is analysed by Lamma spectrometry. The monthly samples are composited [ into a quarterly sample which is analyzed for Sr-  ! ! 90. A land use census was performed August, 1989 to locate the nearest residence and nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetables within a five (5) mile radius of the site. See Table V.D.1 for results. Foodcrops (vegetables) were collected at garden locations during the summer of 1989. Leafy vegetables, i.e., cabbage were obtained from Shippingport, Georgetown, Industry, PA, and l Weirton, W. All samples were analyzed for gamma ! emitters (including 1-131 by gamma spectrometry). l I

1. Description - Milch Animal Locations

{ During the seasons that animals producing milk (milch animals) for human consumption are on pasture, samples of fresh milk are obtained from these animals at locations and frequencies noted in Table V.A.1. This milk is analyzed for its radiciodine content calculated  ! { as Iodine 131. The analyses are performed within eight (8) days of sampling, 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, 1989 is shown in Figure S.E.1. '

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
a. Program Milk was collected from three (3) reference dairy farms (Searights, Brunton and Nicol's) within a 10-mile radius of the site and from one (1) control  ;

location (Windsheimer's) outside of the 10 mile radius. Additional dairies, 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 based upon availability of milk or when more recent data (milch animal census) indicate other locations are more appropriate. The ' location of each is shown in Figure 5.E.2 and described below.

2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques (continued)
a. Program (continued)

The sample from Searight Dairy was collected and analyzed weekly for radiolodine using a procedure with a high sensitivity. Samples from each of the other selected dairies were collected monthly when cows are indoors, and bi-weekly when cows are grazing. This monthly or bi-weekly sample is analyzed for Sr 89, Sr 90. gamma emitters including Cs-137 (by Spectrometry) and I-131 (high sensitivity analysis).

b. Procedure Radiciodine (I-131) analysis in milk was normally performed using chemically prepared samples and analyzed with a low level beta counting system.

Gamma emitters a4a determined by gamma spectrometry of a one liter Marinelli container of milk. 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 produce a curd which is removed by filtration and discarded. An oxalate precipitate is ashed for counting.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of data is presented in Table V.A.2.

A total of one hundred sixty-five (165) samples were analyzed for I-131 during 1989. All I-131 activities in milk were below the minimum detectable level. 86-

3. Results and Conclusions (continued)

A total of one hundred thirty two (132) samples were analyzed for St 89 and St-90. No Sr 89 was detected.  ; Sr 90 levels attributable to previous nuclear weapons tests were detected in one hundred ' twenty nine (129) samples and were within the normally expected range. A total of one hundred thirty two (132) samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The predominant isotope detected was naturally occurring K-40 and was found in all samples. Cs-137 which is attributable to previous a nuclear weapons tests was detected in two (2) samples, g: All results were consistent with (or lower than) those obtained in the preoperational program. These data confirm that the Beaver Valley Power Station did not ' contribute to radioactivity in milk in the vicinity of the site. ll . II l w ll I l e h

SECT!ON V - F DUQt'ESNE LIGHT COMPANY 1989 Annual Radiological Environmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring [ 1. Description of Regional Background Radiation Levels ag Sources l The terrain in the vicinity of the Beaver Valley Power Station generally consists of rough hills with altitude variations of 300-400 feet. Most of the land is wooded. The principal geologic features of the region are nearly flat-laying sedimentary beds of the Pennsylvania Age. Beds of limestone alternate with sandstone and shale with abundant interbedded coal layers. Pleistocene glacial deposits partially cover the older sedimentary I 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 the I Ohio River Valley and along major tributary streams. Based on surveys reported in previous annual reports, I exposure rates ranged from 6-12 VR/hr. Results for 1989 indicated that background radiation continued in this range. I 2. Locations & Analytical Procedures j Ambient external radiation levels around the site were l measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). In 1989 there were a total of forty-four (44) off-site I environmental TLD locations. The locations of the TLDs are shown in Figures 5.F.1 thru 4. Thirteen (13)

.                   locations also     have    QC   Laboratory  TLDs. Both laboratories use calcium sulphate dysprosium, (CaSO.:Dy) in teflon matrix.

SECTION Y F DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPAbT 1989 Annual Radiological Envirenmental Report V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING F. Environmental Radiation Monitoring (continued),

2. Locations 6 Analytical Procedures (continued)

The calcium sulfate (CaSO. Dy) TLDs were annealed shortly before placing the TLDs in their field locations. The radiation dose accumulated in-transit between the field location and the laboratory was corrected by annealing control dosimeters shortly before the field dosimeters were removed from the field location, when shipping the freshly annealed control dosimeters with the exposed field dosimeters to the laboratory for readout at the same time. All dosimeters were exposed in the field in a special environmental holder. The dosimetry system was calibrated by reading calcium sulfate dosimeters which have been exposed in an accurately known gamma radiation field. In addition to TLDs , Pressurized Ion Chambers (PIC) l provide continuous integrating monitoring. Sixteen PICS 5 (Sites 1-16) are part of the Sentri 1011 Radiation Monitoring System which is a microcomputer based data g acquisition system. Data from the stations are sent at g regular intervals to the Central Processing Unit where integrated doses are calculated. In addition there are four PICS which are AC Radiation Monitors. These are inspected weekly for integrator readings. The locations - of the PICS are shown in Figure 5.F.5.

                                                                            ~
3. Results and Conclusions Data obtained with the contractor TLD (CaSO.:Dy in g teflon) during 1989 are summarized in Table V.A.2,. and g the quality control TLD results are listed in Table III.1. Results for the PICS are listed in Table V.F.1.

The annual exposure rate of all off-site TLDs averaged 0.16 mR/ day in 1989. As in previous years, there was some variation among locations and seasons as would be expected. In 1989, ionizing radiation dose determinations from TLDs averaged approximately 58 mR for the year. This is comparable to previous years. There was no evidence of anomalies that could be attributed to the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station. The TLDs confirm that E changes from natural radiation levels, if 'any, are B neglible. I

V. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING G. Monitoring of Fish

1. Description During 1989, fish col'lected for the radiological monitoring program included carp, catfish, sheephead and walleye.
2. Sampling Program and Analytical Techniques
a. Program Fish samples are collected semi-annually in the New I

Cumberland pool of the Ohio River at the Beaver Valley effluent discharge point and upstream of the Montgomery Dam, The edible portion of each different species caught is analyzed by gamma I spectrometry. Fish sampling locations are shown in Figure 5.G.I.

b. Procedure '

A sampls is prepared in a standard tared 300 ml plastic bottle and scanned for gamma emitting nuclides with gamma spectrometry system which utilizes a Ge(Li) detector.

3. Results and Conclusions A summary of the results of the fish monitoring data is provided in Table V.A.2.

A total of ten (10) samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The only gamma emitter detected was I naturally occurring K-40 which was found in all samples. This indicates that the operation of the Beaver Valley Power Station has not resulted in radioactivity in fish in the Ohio River. 4 Y I

1. Description of Water Sources 1

The Ohio River is the main body of water in the area. It is used by the' Beaver Valley Power Station for plant , make-up for the cooling tower and for receiving plant j liquid effluents. Ohio River water ts- a source of water for some towns both upstream and downstream of the Beaver Valley Power Station. sitc. It is used by several municipalities and , 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 user is East Liverpool, Ohio which 'is . approximately 6 miles downstream. The heavy industries 1 in Midland, as well as others downstream use river water for cooling purposes. Some of these plants 'also have private treatment facilities for plan. sanitary water. Ground water occurs in large volumes .in the gravel , terraces which lie along the -river,. and diminishes considerably in the bedrock underlying the site. Normal well yields in the bedrock are less than 10 gallons per i minute (spm) with occasional wells yielding up'to 60 t gpm. - In general, the BVPS site experiences cool winters and moderately warm summers with ample annual precipitation evenly distributed throughout the year. -Normal annual precipitation for the area is.36.20 inches based on 1958 to 1987 data collected at the Pittsburgh International Airport. - H 5 F 98..

Two automatic river , water samplers are at the following locationst , Upstream of Montgomery Dam [ River Mile 29.6); and at J&L Steel's river water intake [ River Mile g : 36.2). The automatic sampler takes a 20-40 ml sample every 15 minutes and .. s collected on a g' weekly basis. The weekly grab samples and automatic water samples are composited into monthly samples from each location. In addition, a quarterly composite sample is prepared for each - sample point. The monthly composites are analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, and gamma emitters. The quarterly composites 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.1.

b. Drinking Water (Public Supplies)

Drinking (treated) water is collected at both Midland (PA) and East Liverpool (OH) Water Treating

2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques (continued)
e. Procedures Gross alpha and gross beta activities are determined first by. evaporating one- liter of the h 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. r Gassa analysis is performed on water sample by L loading one. liter of sample into a one . liter marinelli container and counting on a Ge(Li) gamma spectrometry system. .

                                                                                          .I Strontium 89 and 90 are determined on water samples              l~

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/1 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) spectrometry system.

Tritium is determined in water samples by converting 2 ml of the sample to hydrogen and r counting the activity in a 1 liter low level' gas 1_ counter which is operated in the proportional range in anti-coincidence mode, f Radiofodine (I-131) analysis in water was normally performed using chemically prepared sarples and analyzed with a low-level beta counting system. {-

A total of twelve (12) samples were analyred for H 3, Sr-89 and Sr-90 as well as a high sensitivity analysis for Co-60. No Sr 89, Sr-90, or Co 60 were detected. The H-3 data were within the pre-operational range indicative of normal environmental levels. A total of another one hundred fifty five (155) samples were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. No gamma emitting radionuclides were detected. A total of one hundred fifty-five (155) samples were analyzed for I 131 using a highly sensitive technique. Trace levels of I-131 were measured in I eight (5) of the weekly samples. The results were slightly above the minimum detectable activity. The positive results were detected at Midland and East Liverpool and could not be attributed to plant releases. The results may be attributed to expected variability in the analyses results of I very low levels of activity.

c. Vell Water A total of sixteen (16) samples were each analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta. H3 and by gamma spectrometry. No alpha activity was detected in i' any of the samples. The gross beta and H-3 results are within pre-operational ranges. No gamma emitting radionuclides were detected.

e. Summary The data from water analyses demonstrates tl'at the Beaver Valley Power Station did not contribute a significant increase. of radioactivity in local river, drinking,' wull waters or precipitation. .The' few positive'results which could be attributable to
  • authorized releases.from the 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 actual detected concentration (averaged over. a year) attributable to Beaver Valley Power Station, was only 0.213% of' the 3: Maximum Permissible Concentration' allowed by the E Federal Regulations for water discharged to the Ohio River. The.0hio River further reduced- this concentration by' a factor of ~ 600 prior to its - potential use by members of the public. l

Pathways to Man - Calculational Models The radiation doses to man las a result of Beaver Valley operations were calculated for both gaseous and liquid effluent pathways using NRC computer codes X0QD0Q2, GASPAR, and 1ADTAP. Dose factors listed in the ODCM- , were used to calculate doses to maximum individuals from radioactive noble gases in discharge plumes. ' Beaver Valley offluent data, based on sample analysis in accordance with the schedule set forth in Appendix A of the BVPS license, were used as the radionuclide activity-input.  ! Each radionuclide' contained in- the Semi-Annual Radioactive Effluent - Release Report (noble gases, particulates, radiciodinei and tritium) were included as  : source' terms when they were detected above the' LLD I values. All LLD values reported by Beaver Valley Power Station are equal-to or lower than those required by the Technical Specifications. All gaseous effluent releases, including Auxiliary Building Ventilation, were included in dose assessments. The release activities are based on laboratory analysis. When the activity of noble gas was below detection ' sensitivity, either the inventory based on its HDL or an 3 appropriate but conservative ratio Eto either measured  ; activity 'of Kr-85 or Xe-133 was used. Meteorological j data collected by the Beaver _ Valley Power' Station c Meteorology System was used as input to X0QD0Q2 which in.  ; turn provided input for GASPAR.' Except when more recent or specific data was available, all inputs were the same as 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 plumes inhalation, the " cow-milk-child", and other ingestion pathways, q i i I s

a. Individual Dose The doses which are calculated by the model described above~ are to a- hypotheticali 'real  !

individual located at Midland since this is the nearest location where significant exposure of a member of the public .could potentially occur-therefore, this location is used to . calculate .the maximum exposure. A breakdown of doses by pathway and organ is provided in Table V.I.1. for' the . maximum individual. Included in this table is a breakdown of a typical dose to individuals from- y natural radiation exposure. The results of  ! calculated radiation dose to the hypothetical real 3=; individual are compared to BVPS annual limits in [ Table V.I.2.

the discharge limits were clarified to be reactor l specific; Unit 1 and Unit 2 have individual i.e., (not combined) dose limits. Therefore, the annual limits listed in Table V.I.2 were derived by 4 multiplying the individual Technical Specification reactor limits by a factor of two (2).

I determinatkm). (c) De three Zn-65 measurements were 184.175 and 185 pCi/ liter. These were measured on three detectors using the same aliquot. %c other reported resuhs (t * .Gw60J Ro 106.Cs-134.Cs-137) were all within two standard deviations of the EPA results. His would indicate that the delution made was correct (cacept that pmsibly the Zn 65 was not well mixed). Other parameters were investigated. The branching intensity. decay facior, and detection efficicncies were checked. Since one of the Ca>60 gamma ray - energies is only 60 KcV frorn 2n-65. the detector efficiencies must be correct. There is no obvmus reason for the deviatkm. Another aliquot will be prepared frtwn the ongmal solution and will be counted. (d) The EPA deposits activity on the filter over a small diameter (nearly a point source) whereas our calibration is based on a deposit nearly 2 inches in diameter. In order to correct to point source geometry our gractice has been to divide ocs results by 1.2. We neglected to do it on this test. (c) There is no apparent reason why the potassium was high. Three separate detectors were used and the K.40 value for each was correcdy divided by 0.86 to convers to potassium in mG/ liter. (f) There is no apparent reason why Ba-133 was low by 5.54 standard deviation while the other isosopes were wi-:hin i2 starmhrd deviations. The detector efficiencies and Ba-133 branching intensities were checked and found to be cmect. On 10/31/89. 300 ml of the original. undiluted sampic was counted giving 43.9 i 5.8 Cill of Ba-133 (g) His EPA samples was counted in two geometnes;one in diluted stage the other undiluted. There was no significant difference. Comparing detector efficiencies between two annual sets did not reveal any significant difference. 'Thus there is no apparent reason why our resuhs differed as much as they did. me.

s + en Appendix A- ' Interlaboratory Comparison Program Results 1 l Teledyne Isotopes Midwest Laboratory (formerly Hazleton Environmental Sciences) has participated in interlaboratory comparison ' (crosscheck) programs since the formul ation : of its quality control ~ program Lin December 1971. These  ; are operated by agencies- which supply environmental-type samples (e.g., programs milk or  ; water) containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories. The purpose of such a program _is to provide an independent check on the laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it to any possible problems. Participant laboratories measure the concentrations 'of specified radionuclides-and report them to the issuing -agency. Several months later, the agency reports - I the known values to the~ participant laboratories and specifies : control limits. a Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control l limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used. 3 The results in Table A-1 were obtained-through participation'in the environmental sample crosscheck program for milk, -water, air filters, and - food samples Jduring the period January 1986 through November,1989. This -program 'has been conducted i by the U.S. ' Environmental Protection Agency Intercomparison 'and Calibration Section, Quality Assurance Branch, Environmental Monitoring and Support Labora-tory -Las Vegas, Nevada. The results in Table A-2 were obtained for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) during the period 1976, 1977, 1979, 1980,1984, and 1985-1986 through partici-pation in the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth International Intercomparison of Environmental Dosimeters under the sponsorships- listed in , i Table A-2.

ADDEt10VM TO APPENDIX A The following is an explanation of the reasons why certain samples were outside the control limit specified by the Environmental Protection Ag,ency for the Interlabora-tory Comparison Program starting January 1987. EPA Lab Code Analysis TIML Result Control Limit Explanation STil-504 Sr-89 57.024.3 60.3-77.7 Milk had high fat content which g Sr-90 32.021.0 32.4-37.6 made analyses difficult. Ad- g dition of errors to Titil result would put values within EPA - control limits. EPA also had , the same problem .in analyzing p its own sample. STW-511 Ra-228 8.121.4 4.6-8.0 T!!!L results are usually within EPA control limits. Analysis of the next sample was within g ; EPA control limits. No further g ;~ action is planned.- STW-516 Cr-51 80.3217.5 61.3-78.7 Results - in the past have been within EPA control limits and TIML will monitor the situation in the future.  ! ST F-524 K 1010.72158.5 1123.5-1336.5 Error in transferrance of data. Correct data- was 1105233. E Results in the past have been g within the limits and TIML will monitor the situation in the 1 future. t STW-532 1-131 9.022.0 6.2-8.8 Sample recounted af ter 12 days. i The average result was 8.821.7 E (within EPA control limits). B The sample was recounted in order to check the decay. 3 Results in the past have been g within the limits and TINL will continue to monitor the situ-etion in the future. STW-534 Co-60 63.321.3 41.3-58.7 High level of Co-60 was due to contamination of beaker-Beaker was discarded upon dis- . cove ry of ' contamination and sample was reco0nted. Recount g results were 53.223.6 and 3. 50.922.4. I A-32 I

l l l ADDENDUM TO APPENDIX A (continued) I EPA  : Lab Code Analysis TIML Result Control Limit Explanation STM-554 Sr-90 51.0i2.0 54.8-65.2 The cause of low result is not known and is under investi-gation. It should be noted I that 63% of all participants failed this test. Also, the average for all participants I 1 was 54.0 pC1/1 before the Grubb and 55.8 pC1/1 after the Grubb. 3.5-4.9 I STW-560 Pu-239 5.821.1 The cause of high results is not known (suspected contami-nated standard) and is under investigation. New Pu-236 I standard was obtained and will be used for the next test. I STW-568 Ra-228 2.6 1,0 2.7-4.5 The cause of low results is under investigation. New dilution was prepared and I sample is being reanalyzed. Sample was used up during testing. Next EPA crosschecks with the control limits. STM-570 Sr-89 26.0 10.0 39.0 5.0 The cause of low' results is Sr-90 45.724.2 55.0 3.0 under investigation. New I " spike" milk sample was pre-pared and being analyzed.
