'this document is a detailed report on the 1993 North Anna Nuclear Power Station Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program OtEM19 Radioactivity levels from January 1 through December 31,1993 in water, silt, shoreline sediment, milk, aquatic biota, f(xxi prcxlucts, vegetation, and direct exposure pathways have been analyzed, evaluated, and summarized. 'Ihe REMP is designed to ensure that radiological effluent releases are As inw As is Itcasonably Achievable (ALARA), no undue environmental effects occur, and the health and safety of the public is protected. 'Ihe program also detects any unexpected environmental processes which could allow radiation accumulatiorts in the environment or f(xxl pathway chains.

Virginia Power also collects samples within this area. A number of sampling locations for each medium were selected 4 using available meteorological, land use, and water use data. .

'l\vo types of samples are obtained. 'lhe first type, control < . ..

*JP4' Prior to station operation, samples were collected and analyzed to detennine the amount of radioactivity present in the area.. The resulting values are used as a " pre-operational baseline."

Analysis results from the indicator samples are compared to lx>th current control sample values and the pre-operational baseline to detennine if changes in radioactivity levels are attributable to station operations, other causes such as the Chemobyl accident, or natural variation. l Tcledyne isotopes provides sample analyses for various radioisotopes as appropriate for each sample media. Participation in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Interialx>ratory Comparison Program provides an independent check of sample measurement precision and accuracy. Typically, radioactivity levels in the environment are so low that analysis values frequently f;di below the minimum detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement meth(xis.

Because of this, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that equipment used for radiological environmental monitoring must lx able to detect specified minimum I ower umits of Detection (LLD). 'Ihis ensures that analyses are as accurate as possible. Samples with extremely O io- ievete or reai2 tion which c>nnot be actectea =re thererore reportea ms beina betow the t'o.

'lhe NRC also mandates a " reporting level." Ucensed nuclear facilities must report any releases 8

M equal to or greater than this reporting level. Environmental radiation levels are sometimes referred to as a percent of the reporting level.

bq Analytical results are divided into five categories based on exposure pathways: Airbome, watedx>me, aquatic, ingestion, and direct radiation. Each of these pathways is described below:

  • 'Ihe airbome exposure pathway indudes airbome iodine, airbome particulate, precipita-tion, and soil samples.1he overall 1993 airix>me results were very similar to previous years and to preoperational levels. No increase was noted and there were no detections of fission products or other man-made isotopes in the airbome particulate media during 1993

. 1he waterix>me exposure pathway indudes ground /well water, river water, and surface watersamples. Noman-madeornaturalisotopesweredetectedinI2keAnnasurfacewater except for tritium. 'lhe average tritium activity in 1993 was 14.0% of the NRC reporting level.

1his has increased from preoperational levels but has decreased from 1992 levels. ,

  • 'lhe aquatic exposure pathway indudes sediment / silt and shoreline samples. North Anna sediment contained some cobalt 40, cesium-134 and cesium-137. During the preopera-tional pericxi, cesium-137 was detected. Additional man-nude isotopes appear to have accumulated since that time. Sediment contamination, however, does not provide a direct dose pathway to man. In shoreline soil, which may provide a direct dose pathway, only cesium-137 was detected. Cesiv .-137 levels increased from 534 pCi/kg in 1992 to 662 pCi/

kg in 1993.

- 1he ingestion exposure pathway includes milk, fish, and food / vegetation samples. Iodine-0 131 w s n t detected in any 1993 milk s mples. Although cesium-137 lus been detected in the past, it was not detected in 1993 milk samples. Strontium-90 was detected at levels comparable to 1989, and lower than preoperational years. Ik>th strontium-90 and cesium-137 are attributable to atmospheric nudear weapons testing in the past. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected at normal environmental levels.

Fish samples during 1993 contained cesium-137 at a slightly higher activity than preoperational levels. Steam generator repairs and better liquid waste processing, however, have reduced these activity levels from previous years. Vegetation samples were statistically similar to both control and preoperational levels. ,

  • 1he direct radiation exposure pathway measures environmental radiation dosec by use of themioluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). TLD results have remained essentially the same since the preoperational peri (xi in 1977.

During 1993, as in previous years, operation of the Nonh Anna Nudcar Power Station created no adverse environmental affects or health hazards. The maximum radiation dose calculated for a hypothetical individual at the North Anna Power Station boundary due to liquid and gaseous etfluents released fmm the site during 1993 was 0.47 millire n. For n:ference this dose may be compared to the 360 millirem average annual exposure to every person in the United States from natural and man-made sources. Natural sources in the environment provide approximately 82%

of radiation exposure to man while Nudcar Power contributes less than 0.1%.1hese results p demonstrate not only compliance with fedemi and state regulations, but also demonstrate the

NORTH ANNA POWER STATION RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONAfENTAL OPERATING PROGRAAf

1. INIRODUCTION The operational radiological environmental monitoring program conducted for the year

. 1993 for the North Anna Power Station is provided in this report. The results of measurements and analyses of data obtained from samples collected from January 1,1993 through December 31, 1993 are summarized.

A. The North Anna Power Station of Virginia Electric and Power Company is located on Lake Anna in Mineral, Virginia, approximately 35 miles south west of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The site consists of two units, each with pressurized water reactor (PWR) nuclear steam supply systems and turbine generator furnished by Westinghouse Electric Corooration.

Each unit is designed with a gross electrical output of 970 megawatts electric (MWe). Unit I achieved commercial operation on June 6,1978, and Unit 2 on December 14,-1980.

Q B. The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) regulations (10CFR50.34a) require that nuclear power plants be designed, constructed, and operated to keep levels of -

radioactive material in effluents to unrestricted areas as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). To ensure these criteria are met, the operating license for Nonh Anna Power Station includes Technical Specifications which address the release of radioactive effluents.

Inplant monitoring is used to ensure release limits are not exceeded. As a precaution against unexpected or undefined environmental processes which might allow undue accumulation of radioactivity in the environment, a program for monitoring the plant environs is also included in North Anna Power Station Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

C. Virginia Electric and Power Company is responsible for collecting the various indicator and control environmental samples. Teledyne Isotopes is responsible for sample analysis and submitting reports of radioanalyses. The results are used to determine if changes in radioactivity levels could be attributable to station operations. Measured values are- ,

compared with control levels, which vary with time due to such external events as cosmic ray bombardment, weapons test fallout, and seasonal variations of naturally occurring Q isotopes. Data collected prior to the plant operation is used to indicate the degree of natural 10 i

'I

.. variation to be expected. This preoperational data is campared with data collected during l0.

the overationai ghase to assist in evaiuatins the radieiosicai impaci of the giant egeration.

D. Occasional samples of environmental media show the presence of man-made isotopes. As a method of referencing the measured radionuclide concentrations in the sample media to a .

dose consequence to man, the data is compared to the reporting level concentrations listed in the USNRC Regulatory Guide 4.8 and North Anna's ODCM. These concentrations are based upon the annual dose commitment reconunended by 10CFR50, .\ppendix I, to meet the criterion of"As Low As Is Reasonably Achievable".

E. This report documents the results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for 1993 and satisfies the following objectives of the program:

1. Provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure -

pa.hways and for those radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of the maximum exposed members of the public resulting from the station 3 operation.

l

2. Supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that Q radioactive effluents are within allowable limits. l
3. Identifies radioactivity changes in the environnent. .;

C

4. Verifies that the plant operations have no deuimental effect on the health and safety of the public. .

II. Nuclear Power And The Environinent:

G,, In Perspective Coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power, and hydropower have all been used to mn the nation's electric generating stations. Each methcx1, however, has its drawbacks. Coal-fired power can damage the environment during the mining process, or by airbome discharges such as fly-ashand chemicals which contribute to acid rain.. Oil and natural gas are costly because of their limited supply. Few suitable sites for hydropower exist, and building the large dams necessary to produce Hydropower has a significant impact on the environment.

Nuclear energy provides an alternate source of energy which is readily available. The operation of nuclear power stations has a very small impact on the environment. In fact, hundreds of acres adjoining Surry Power Station are a state waterfowl refuge, and Lake Anna, next to Nonh Anna Power Station, is a well-known fishing site with a state park on its shore.

In order to more fully understand this unique energy source, background information alx)ut basic radiation chameteristics, risk assessment, reactor opemtion, effluent control, environmental monitoring, and radioactive waste is provided in this section.

Fundarnentals TheAtom Everything we encounter is made of atoms. Atoms are the smallest pans of an element that still have all the chemical propenies of that element. At the center of an atom is a nucleus. The nucleus consists of neutrons and protons. Electrons move in an orbit around the nucleus and am negatively charged. Protons and neutrons are nearly identical in size and weight, and each is about 2000 times heavier than an electron. The proton, however, has a positive charge, while the neutron has no charge, it is electrically neutml. Figure 1 presents a simple diagram of an atom.

If the nucleus of an atom contains excess energy, it may be called a radioactive atom, a radioisotope, or mdionuclide. The excess energy is usually due to an imbalance in the number of electrons, protons, and/or neutrons which make up the atom.

ludionuclides can be naturally occurring, such as unmium-238, thorium-232 and potassium-40, or man-made, such as iodine-131, cesium-137, and cobalt 40.

Radioactit'e Decay ludioactive atoms attempt to reach a stable (non-radioactive) state through a process known as radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is the release ofenergy from the atom through the emission of particulate and/or electinmagnetic nidiation.' Particulate radiation may be in the form of electrically charged particles such as alpha (2 protons plus 2 neutmnsior beta partides (1 electn>r0, or may be electrically neutml, such as neutrons. Part of the electromagnetic spectrum consists of.

gamma mys and X-niys which are similar to light and microwaves, but have a much higher enesgy. :

After 5 years,50% ofits radioactivity is gone, and after 10 years,75% has decayed away. Itadioactive half-lives vary from milliontits of a second to millions of years.

t ltidioactive atoms may det ay directly to a stable state or may undergo a series of decay stages.

During the decay process, ses emi daughter products may be formed which eventually tnmsfomi into stable atoms. Naturally occurring mdium-226, for example, has 10 successive daughter prcxlucts (including mdon) resulting finally with lead-206 as a stable fonn.

Sources OfRadiation O m~,. n-,~,,

Radiation is not a new creation of the nuclear power industry; it is a natumi occunence on the eadh. Mankind has always lived with radiation and always will. Every second of our lives, over 7,000 atoms undergo radioactive decay in the Ixxly of the average adult. Radioactivity exists naturally in the soil, water, air and space. All of these common sources of radiation contribute to the natural background radiation that we are exposed to each day.

The canh is constantly showered by a steady stream of high energy gamma mys. These rays come from space and are known as cosmic radiation. Our atmosphere shields out most of this mdiation, but everyone still receives about 20 to 50 millirem each year from this source. At high altitudes, the air is thinner and provides less protection from cosmic radiation. liecause of this, people living at higher altitudes or even flying in an airplane are exposed to more radiation.

Radioactive atoms commonly found in the at mosphere as a result of cosmic my interactions include beryllium-7, cirbon-lel, tritium, and sodium-22.

Other natumi sources of mdiation include mdionuclides naturally found in soil, water, fo(x1, building materials and even people. People have always been radioactive, in part because the I carbon found in our lxxiles is a mixture of all carbon isotopes, both non-mdioactive and l radioactive.

Man-Made In addition to naturally occurring radiation, people are also exposed tc) ntin-made radiation.

The largest sources of the.se exposures are from medical X-mys, fluoroscopic examinations, radioactive drugs, and tobacco. Small doses are received from consumer 3roducts such as television, smoke alanns, and fenilizers. Very small doses result from the prot uction of nuclear

[xnver. Fallout from nuclear weapons tests is another source of man-made exposure. Fallout mdionuclides include strontium-90, cesium-137, carbon-14, and tritium.

Fffects OfRadialion n

\'f Studies The effects ofionizing radiation on human health have been under study for more tlum eighty years. Scientists have obtained valuable knowledge through the study of laix>ratory animals tlut were exposed to radiation under controlled conditions. It has proven difiitult, however, to relate the biological effects of irnidiated laboratory animals to the potential health effects on humans.

Because of this, human populations irmdiated under various circumstances have been studied in great depth. These groups include:

  • Survivors of the atomic bomb.
  • Persons undergoing medical radiation treatment.
  • Itadium dial painters during World War I who ingested large amounts of radioactivity by " tipping' the paint bmshes with their lips.
  • ITranium miners, who inhaled large amounts of mdioactive dust while mining pitchblende (umnium ore).

= Early radiologists, who accumulated large doses of ntdiation from early X-ray q equipment while being unaware of the potential hazards.

V Analysis of these groups has increased our knowledge of health effects resulting from large nidiation doses. less is known about the effects oflow doses ofradiation. To be on the conservative side, we assume that health elTects occur proportionally to those observed following a large dose of radiation. That is, if one dose of mdiation causes an effect, then half the dose will cause half the elTect. Itadiation scientists agree that this assumption overestimates the risks associated with low les el mdiation exposure. The effects predicted in this manner have not been actually observed in individuals exposed to low level mdiation.

Ilealth Risks Since t he actual effects of exposure to low level radiation a re dilficult to measure, scientists often refer to the possible risk involved. The problem is one of evaluating attematives, of comparing risks and weighing them against benefits. People make decisions involving risks every day, such as deciding whether to wear seat belts or smoke cigarettes. Itisks are a part of everyday life. The question is to determine how great the risks are.

We accept the inevitability of automobile accidents. Building safer cars or wearing seat belts will reduce the risk ofinjuiy. You could choose to not drive to be even safer, but pedestrians and bicyclists are also injured by cars. Iteducing the risk of injuiy from automobiles to zero requires moving to a place where there are no automobiles.

(O 18

While accepting the many daily risks of living, some people feel that their demands for energy m should be met on an essentially risk-free basis. Attention is focused on safeguarding the public, d developing a realistic assessment of the risks, and placing them in perspective. l l

Because you cannot see, feel, taste, hear, or smell mdiation, it is often a source of concem. We i have the same lack of sensory perception for things such as mdio waves, carbon monoxide, and l small concentrations of numerous cancer causing substances. Although these risks are just as real l as the risks associated with radiation, they have not genemted the same degree of concem as mdiation.

Most risks are with us tluoughout our lives, and their effects can be added up over a lifetime to obtain a total effect on our life span. The typical life span for an American woman is now 76 years, whereas men average 71 years of age. Figure 9 shows a number of different factors that decreased our avemge life expectancy.

The Americui Cancer Society estimates that about 30 percent of all Americms will develop cancer at some time in their lives from all possible causes. So, in a group of 10,000 people it is expected that 3,000 of them will develop cancer. If each person were to receive a radiation exposure of one rem in addition to natu ral background mdiation, then it is expected that three more may develop cancer during their lifetime. This increases the risk from 30 percent to 30.03 percent.

IIence, the risks of radiation exposure are small when compared to the risks of everyday life.

These comparisons should give you some idea of the risk involved in activities that you are familiar with. They give a basis for judging what smoking, eating, or driving a car could mean to your health and safety. Everyone knows that life is full of risks. If you have the basis for judgment, you can decide what to do or what not to do.

NuclearReactor Operation C)

Electricity in the United States is being produced using fossil fuel, uranium, or fillling water.

A fossil-fueled power station bums coal, oil or natural gas in a boiler to produce energy. Nuclear power stations use uranium fuel and the heat produced from the fission process to make energy.

In lxath cases, they heat and luil water to produce steam. The stemn is used to drive a turbine which turns a genemtor and produces electricity.

Nuclear Fuel Uranium (U) is the basic ingredient in nuclear fuel, consisting of U-235 and U-238 atonts.

Natumt uranium contains less than one percent U-235 when it is mined. Commercial nuclear power plants use fuel with a U-235 content of approximately three percent. The process used to increase the U-235 concentration is known as enrichment.

Reactor Operation After enrichment, the umnium fuel is chemically changed to umnium dioxide, a dry black powder. This powder is compressed into small cemmic pellets. Each fuel pellet is ainut 3/4 inches long and 3/8 inches in diameter. The pellets are placed into 12 foot long metal tubes made of zirconium alloy to make a fuel rod. About five pounds of pellets are used to fill each rod. A total of 204 fuel rods make a single fuel assembly. Virginia Power nuclear reactors contains 157 fuel assemblies (Figure 101 p)

Fission f,,.s

>?a V Nuclear energy is pnxluced by a {^o process utiled fission. Fission occurs in a g 4 :cf a reactor when uranium is split into  %

fmgments producing heat and releas- $  :

ing neutrons. These neutrons strike k g<F #

.M other uranium atoms, ciusing them to split (tlssion) and release more heat MT 427 and neutrons. This is called a chain reaction (Figure 11) and is controlled h Heavy Atom o Free Neutron by the use of reactor control rrxis. .

O Fission Fragment v^- Heat Control axis are ary essential pan of the nuclear reactor. Control rods con-gggggggggfggy tain cadmium, indium, and silver metals which absorb and control the amount of neutrons produced in the reactor. The control rods act to slow down or stop the chain reaction. A chain reaction cannot occur when the control axis are inserted completely into the core. When the control rods are withdmwn, the chain reaction begins and heat is generated.

Design & Operation Surry Power Station and North Anna Power Station use a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWlO system to genemte electricity. There are two complete and independent PWR systems on-site at both Surry and North Anna Power Stations. These are referred to as Unit-1 and Unit-2.

The reactor core is inside a large steel container called the Reactor Pressure Vessel. The reactor core is always surrounded by water. The fissioning of the uranium fuel makes the fuel nxts get hot. The hot fuel rods heat the water, which serves as a coolant that carries away heat.

In a pressurized water reactor, heat is moved from place to place by moving water, the reactor's coolant. The water flows in closed k> ops. As (primary) water moves through the core it gets very hot (605 F), but because it is under such high pressure, 2235 pounds per square inch (pso, it doesn't boil. The hot water then flows to the steam generator. The steam genemtor is a heat exchanger. Reactor coolant passes through it but doesn't mix with the steam genemtor (secondary) water. Instead, heat from the primary wateris transfened through thousands of tubes to the cooler secondary water. The water in the steam generator is under much less pressure, and the heat boils the secondary water to steam. At Virginia Electric and Power stations, each unit has 3 steam generators.

The steam is piped to a steam turbine that tums an electric generator. The exhausted steam from the turbine is cooled and converted back to water in a condenser. The condenser is also a heat exchanger; in it heat passes from the steam to a third loop of water. In Surry's case theJames River provides the third kx)p water. At North Anna Power Station third loop water is from lake 3 Anna. The ste;un tums back to liquid and is pumped back to the steam genemtor. Figure 12 is (V a diagmm of typical nuclear reactor systems.

Two principles are used. First, thick, heavy walls are used as shielding to absorb ridiation and prevent its escape. Second, strong. airtight walls called containment, are used to prevent the escape of radioactive materials. The reactor pressure vessel and the containment building that houses it are enormously strong (Figure 13). Strong enough, in fact, to withstand a direct hit fmm a 707 jetliner. The reactor core lies within a sealed pressure vessel, Like all boilers its walls must be very strong because the water inside must be kept under high pressure. The reactor pressure vessel in a nuclear power plant is es en heavier than an ordinary steam boiler because of the need to minimize the chance of rupture 1 and release of any radioactive materials. The reactor pressure vessel is made from a stainless steel l alloy 6 to 8 inches thick. Around the reactor pressure vessel is a thick concrete wall. This wall acts as shielding, protecting workers by absorbing radiation resulting from the nuclear chain reaction. Next an 'N airtight 1/2 inch steel liner surrounds the entire interior of the containment. If the reactor pressure (V vessel or any of the primary piping should break, the escaping steam would be trapped inside the liner. 22 -I cp u # s " [] / 21/2 Feet Thick Concrete v f 1 1/2 inch Steet Liner s h.

It is designed to act as shielding and is also intended to withstand natural and man made events like emthquakes and even the direct impact from a large commercial jet aircrall. Operating the ReactorSafely Accidents The most serious accident that could happen in a nuclear power plant involves overheating in the nuclear mactor core. Such an accident would result from a loss-of<oolant accident or LOCA. During a LOCA, primary coolant would no longer circulate through the reactor core to remove heat. (j Circulation could be lost if a combination of pipes burst, for example. Conceivably, a dry, overheated mactor core could melt through the pressure vessel. 23 The reactor itself is designed to respond automatically to such an emergency. Opemtors are n also tmined to make corrections for any system failure. The automatic and opemtor responses have () two goals: to prevent d:unage to the reactor, and prevent the release of mdiation. Shutting the reactor down is relatively easy. Control rods drop in and chemical to stop the nuclear reaction are injected into the ax>lant. Losing the coolant itself tends to stop the chain reaction because the ; coolant is needed to keep the nuclear chain reaction going. Within 10 seconds of shutdown, the i amount of heat is less than 5 percent of the amount produced at full power and within 15 minutes, less than 1 percent. To carry heat away during an accident, all reactors have Emergency Core Cooling Systems WCCS). The ECCS consists of primary and back-up pumps and reservoirs of coolant that opemte separately from those that normally circulate through the system. A nuclear reactor has many different luck-up safety systems designed so that if one fails another is ahvays available. Workers There are many different jobs at a nuclear power plant and Ihey are filled by people with diverse backgrounds. All employees are initially tmined and then retmined annually by the company. Virginia Power's Training centers are fully accredited by the National Academy for Nuclear Training and the Institute for Nuclear Power Opemtions. The operators are tested and certified by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRCL Safety Statistics O, Job safety is another measure of assumnce that the station is being propedy opemted. Suny Power Station attained 1480,M1 man hours without a lost time accident and is continuing that record into 199i. Nonh Anna Power Station has attained over 2,000,000 man hours without a lost time accident. Stim m m y Nuclear energy provides an alternate source of energy which is readily available. The opemtion of a nuclear power station has a very small impact on the environment. = Radiation is not a new creation of the nuclear Ix>wer industry; it is a natural occunence on the emth. Mankind has always lived with radiation and always will. Radioactivity exists naturally in the soil, water, air and space. All these common sources of mdiation contribute to the natural background radiation to which we are exposed. In addition to naturally occuning radiation and radioactivity, people are also exposed to mananade mdiation. Very small doses result from the production of nuclear power. Nuclear power plants are designed to prevent the escape of radiation and mdioactive substances. O V = A nuclear reactor has many difTerent back-up safety systems designed so that if one fails another is available. 24 Ill. SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM O A. Sampling Program

O O 41 1 V. Summary And Discussion of 1993 Analytical Results Data from the radiological analyses of environmental media collected during the report period are tabulated and discussed below. The procedures and specifications followed in the laboratory for these analyses are as required in the Teledyne Isotopes Quality Assurance Manual and are explained in the Teledyne Isotopes Analytical Procedures. A synopsis of analytical procedures used for the environmental samples is provided in Appendix D. In addition to internal quality control measures performed by Teledyne, the laboratory also participates in the Environmental Protection Agency's Interlaboratory Comparison Program. Participation in this program ensures that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental samples are performed. The results of the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison are provided in Appendix E. Radiological analyses of environmental media characteristically approach and frequently fall below the detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement methods. The "less than" values in the data tables were calculated for each specific analysis and are dependent on sample size, detector efficiency, length of counting time, chemical yield, when appropriate, and the radioactive decay factor from time of counting to time of collection. Teledyne Isotopes analytical methods meet the O uwer umit of Derecu<m uD> <cquirements yiven in Tabie 2 0f the usxRC aranch Technicai Position of Radiological Monitoring (November 1979, Revision 1) and the ODCM. The following is a discussion and summary of the results of the environmental measurements taken during the 1993 reporting period. A. Airborne Exposure Pathway

1. Air lodine /Particulates Charcoal cartridges used to collect airborne iodine were collected weekly and analyzed by a radiochemical separation procedure for iodine-131. The results are presented in Table B-1.

All results were below the required lower limit of detection. For air particulates, gross beta activity was observed in all fifty-two control samples with an average concentration of 0.021 pCi/m 3and a range of 0.010 to 0.036 pCi/m 3 The average measurement for the indicator locations was 0.021 pCi/m3 with a range of 0.006 to 0.056 pCi/m3. The results l of the gross beta activities are presented in Table B-2. The gross beta activities for 1993 were comparable to levels measured in the 1982-1992 period. Prior to that period the gross Q beta activities were higher due to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing by other countries. l I 42 =- 4 TRENDING GRAPH-1: GROSS BETA IN AIR PARTICULATES 1_ o k O.1- d l i- - - -- -~ - - - - - - - - - -- l 0.01 ;>--------------------------- - - - - - - -4 , u.

I 'l I 43 During the preoperational period of July 1,1974 through March 31,1978 gross beta O activities ranged from a low of 0.005 pCi/m3 to a high of 0.75 pCi/m3, Air particulate filters were composited by locations on a quarterly basis and were analyzed , by gamma ray spectroscopy. The results are listed in Table B-3. Beryllium-7,'which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation, was measured in all 48 composite samples. The average measurement for the control location was 0.081' pCi/m3 with a range of 0.050 to 0.136 pCi/m3. The indicator locations had an average concentration of 0.083 pCi/m3 and a range of 0.038 to 0.154 pCi/m3. During the i preoperational period, beryllium-7 was measured at comparable levels, as would be expected. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected in one control samples with a1 I concentration of 0.049 pCi/m3 - Potassium-40 was detected in eight indicator samples with an average concentration of 0.020 pCi/m3 and a range of 0.010 to 0.035 pCi/m3. ' All other - gamma emitters were below the detection limits. During the preoperational period gamma ray spectroscopy measured several fission products in numerous air particulate filters. All ' i isotopes were attributed to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing conducted before the preoperational period. Among the isotopes measured were zirconium-95, ruthenium-103, l ruthenium-106, cesium-137, cerium-141 and cerium-144. O The second yuarte, comgesites of air particuiate fiiters f,om aii tweive stations were  ; analyzed for strontium-89 and 90. There was no detection of these fission products at any j of the eleven indicator stations nor at the control station. l

2. Precipitation > l A sample of rain water was collected monthly at station Ol A, on site,0.75 miles,138 degrees SE and analyzed for gross beta activity. The results are presented in Table B-4.

The average gross beta activity for 1993 in the twelve samples was 5.34 pCi/ liter with a range from 2.5 to 16 pCi/ liter. Semi-annual composites were prepared and analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes and tritium. All gamma emitters were below their detection limits. Tritium was not detected in the semi-annual composite samples. These results were comparable to or lower than those measured in 1986 thru 1992. During the pmoperational period gross beta activity in rain water was expressed in nCi per square meter of the collector surface, thus a direct comparison can not be made to the 1993 period. During the . preoperational period, tritium was measured in' aver half of the few quarterly compowes made. The tritium activity ranged from 100 to 330 pCi/ liter.

I - 3. Soil Soil samples are collected every thme years from twelve stations. Since they were collected in 1992, soil was not sampled during 1993. ) B. Waterborne Exposure Pathway

1. Ground /Well Water Water was sampled quarterly from the on site well at the metrology laboratory. These samples were analyzed for gamma radiation and for tritium. The results are presented in j Table B-6. No gamma emitting isotopes or tritium were detected during 1993. The second quarter sample was analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90. There were no detections I of these isotopes above the detection level. No gamma emitting isotopes were detected during the preoperational period. Tritium was measured in most of the samples during that period with concentradons between 80 and 370 pCi/ liter.

2. River Water A sample of water from the North Anna River was collected monthly at station 11,5.8  !

O miies downstream nem the di cherse ies-n,128 desrees SSe. The reseits are gresented in Table B-7. The samples were analyzed by gamma spectroscopy monthly. The samples were analyzed for tritium monthly.until July 1993, when the analysis was performed at the minimum required frequency, quarterly on a composite sample. The second quarter samples were analyzed in addition for strontium-89 and strontium-90.- , .l Potassium-40 was measured in one sample with a concentration of 139 pCi/ liter. All other j gamma emitters were below the detection level. No detections of strontium-89 or  ! strontium-90 occurred. Tritium was measured in eight samples with an average level of 2750 pCi/ liter and a range of 1700 to 4000 pCi/ liter. This is lower than the the average l level measured in 1992 of 4000 pCi/ liter and a range of 3500 to 4600 pCi/ liter. No river 3 water samples were collected during the preoperational period. I 1

The tritium a activity at station 08 for the quarterly composites was at an average level of 2400 pCi/ liter { with a range of 1900 to 3300 pCi/ liter. The tritium level had been increasing since the I middle of 1978 when the average level was below 300 pCi/ liter. However, during 1993 7 the msults were within the same range as those measured in 1986 thru 1992. During the preoperational period tritium was measumd in several samples with concentrations between  ! 90 and 250 pCi/ liter. Tritium was not detected at station 09A. i Samples of surface water were collected by the Commonwealth of Virginia from two stations. Station W-33 is located at the discharge lagoon while station W-27 is located on the North Anna River at the RT. 208 Bridge, which is upstream of the site. Twenty-four samples were collected and analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and for tritium. The results are presented in Table B-9. All other gamma emitters were below their detection levels. Four samples from each station were analyzed for tritium during 1993. The average activity at station W-33 in all samples was 2850 pCi/ liter with a range of 2200 to 3800 pCi/ liter. This is lower than the 3833 pCi/ liter measured during 1992 at this station. Tritium was measured in two samples at station W-27 with an average activity of 1200 pCi/ liter and a range of 1000 to 1400 pCi/ liter. This is lower than the average of 2650 pCi/ liter measured at station W-27 during 1992. C. Aquatic Exposure Pathway

1. Sediment / Silt Sediment samples were collected during Mamb, September and October frorn each of thme locations and were analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The results are presented in Table B-10. A number of man-made and naturally occurring radioisotopes were detected in these samples.

Also naturally occurring , thorium-228 was observed in all nine samples with an average concentration of 674 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 345 to 1370 pCi/kg (dry weight). The September samples were analyzed for strontium-89 and strontium-90. There were no detections of strontium-89 or strontium-90 in aquatic sediment / silt. During the preoperational panod sediment samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy. Cesium-137 was measured in most of the samples with concentration between 33 and 1210 pCi/kg (dry weight). Strontium-90 was measured in most of the samples with concentrations between 60 and $40 pCi/kg (dry weight), Strontium-89 was not measured. Potassium-40, radium-226, and thorium-228, all naturally occurring, were measured at background levels.

2. Shoreline Soil A sample of shoreline sediment was collected in March and September from station 09, 2.2 miles upstream of the North Anna Power Station. The samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectrometry. The results are presented in Table B-ll. The r.aturally occurring nuclide potassium-40 was measured in both samples with an average activity of 6315 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 4440 to 8190 pCi/kg (dry weight). Thorium-228 was measured in both samples at an average of 1200 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 1080 to 1320 pCi/kg (dry weight). Radium 226 was measured in both samples with an average activity of 1735 pCi-kg (dry weight) and a range of 1290 to 2180 pCi/kg (dry weight). Cesium 137, fission product, was monitored in both samples with an average level of 662 pCi/kg (dry weight) and a range of 174 to 1150 pCi/kg (dry weight).

1. Milk G

V 50 1 i The results of the iodine-131 analysis of milk samples are presented in Table B-12. A Q sample was collected monthly from two stations. A total of 24 samples were analyzed during 1993. There wem no measurements ofiodine 131 above the detection limits. i l The milk samples were also analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and the results are also presented in Table B-12. A total of 24 samples were analyzed. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was measured in all samples with an average of 1342 pCi/ liter and a range of 1190 to 1500 pCi/ liter. The fission product cesium-137 has been detected sporadically in recent years and the activity has been attributed to global fallout from past atmospheric weapons testing. However, cesium-137 was not detected at levels above LLD in any milk samples during 1993. All other gamma emitters were below their detection levels. A quarterly composite was prepared from each of the two collection stations and analyzed for stmntium-89 and strontium 90. Strontium-89 was not detected at levels above LLD in any of the samples monitored. Stmntium-90 was detected in the eight samples monitored with an average level of 1.75 pCi/ liter und a range of 1.0 to 2.1 pCi/ liter. This is similar to activities determined in previous years and lower than the preoperational levels of 2.2 to 5.4 pCi/ liter.

2. Fish Aquatic biota can be sensitive indicators of radionuclide accumulation in the environment because of their ability to concentrate certain chemical elements which have radioactive isotopes. The results are presented in Table B-13. Eight samples of fish were collected during 1993. These samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and the naturally occurring isotope potassium-40 was found in all samples at an average of 1806 pCi/kg (wet weight) with a range of 1200 to 2460 pCi/kg (wet weight). The fission product cesium- -

137 was measured in four samples at an average of 69.5 pCi/kg (wet weight) and a range of 39.5 to 90.3 pCi/kg (wet weight). During the preoperational period cesium-137 was measured in one-fourth of the fish samples collected with concentrations between 31 and 66 pCi/kg (wet weight).

3. Food / Vegetation Thirty-five food samples were collected from five locations and analyzed by gamma spectrometry. The results are presented in Table B-14. Naturally occurring potassium-40 was monitored in all of the samples with an average activity level of 15153 pCi/kg (wet weight) and a range of 5370 to 24000 pCi/kg (wet weight). Cosmogenic beryllium 7 was 51

These results are consistent with those measured in previous years. Cesium-137 was measured in broadleaf garden vegetation during the preoperational period with concentrations between 53 and 98 pCi/kg (wet weight). E. Direct Radiation Exposure Pathway

1. TLD Dosimeters Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) determine environmental radiation doses and the results are presented in Table B-15. Individual measurements of external radiation levels in the environs of the North Anna site had an average does of 5.7 mR/ standard month with a range of 3.4 to 9.7 mR/ standard month. The control station, No. 24, has an average reading of 3.9 mR/ standard month with a range of 3.4 to 4.3 mR/ standard month.

Sector TLDs are deployed quarterly at thirty-two locations in the environs of the North Anna site. Two badges are placed at each location. The results are presented in table B-

16. The average level of the 32 locations (two badges at each location) was 6.1 mR/ standard month with a range of 3.4 to 10.5 mR/ standard month. The eight control TLDs, collected quarterly from four locations, showed an average reading of 4.9 mR/

standard month with a range of 3.4 to 7.0 mR/ standard month. During the preoperational period (starting in 1977) when the calculation of the TLD dose included a correction for the intransit dose, the doses were measured between 4.3 and 8.8 mR/ standard month. O ~ 53 VI. Conclusions O The results of the 1993 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the North Anna Nuclear Power Station have been presented. The following sections discuss each pathway individually followed by a program summary. Airborne Exposure Pathway Air particulate gmss beta concentrations of all the indicator locations for 1993 followed the - gross beta concentrations at the control location. The gross beta concentrations were comparable to levels observed since 1982 except for a five week period in 1986 which was influenced by the Chemobyl accident. Gross beta concentrations in the preoperational period were highly variable, ranging from 0.0043 to 0.75 pCi/ cum, due to occasional atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. Gamma isotopic analysis of the particulate samples identified the gamma emitting isotopes as natural products (beryllium-7 and potassiurn-40). There were no detections above the LLD for fission products nor other man-made isotopes in the particulate media during 1993. Iodine-131 was not detected in the 624 charcoal filters analyzed during the first three quarters of 1993. A precipitation sample was collected monthly during 1993 and analyzed for gross beta O activity. ^ii the aross beta activities were comparable to those measured in previous years. During the preoperational period the average gross beta activity was 0.92 pCi/ liter. Semi-annual composites were analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes and tritium. All gamma emitters were below their detection limits. Tritium was not observed above the LLD during this reponing period in 1993. During the preoperational period the average tritium activity was 165 pCi/ liter. Waterborne Exposure Pathway No man-made or natural isotope t wem monitored in the surface water of Lake Anna except tritium. The average tritium activity duing 1993 at the. waste heat treatment facility was 2400 pCiAiter which is 12.0% of the reporting level for a water sample. In 1992 the tritium level was 3950 pCiAiter. The preoperationallevel was 150 pCi/ liter and has been rising since 1977. Tritium was not measured upstream of the site, at station 09A. The samples of surface water collected by the Commonwealth of Virginia at the waste heat treatment facility had similar tritium results with a mearnrement of 2300 pCi/ liter as compared to I 3360 pCi/ liter for 1992. The upstream location had two measurements at an average of 1200 pCi/ liter as compared to 2650 pCi/ liter for 1992. No gamma emitting isotopes were detected. 4 54 l l i River water collected from the North Anna River,5.8 miles downstream of the site had an ] / average tritium level of 2814 pCi/ liter. The average tritium in 1992 had been 4000 pCi/ liter. No gamma emitters wem detected. Ground water from the environmental well on site contained no gamma emitters. There were also no detections of tritium in ground /well water during 1992. Aquatic Pathway Sediment / silt samples provide a sensitive indicator of discharges from nuclear power stations. The sediment from North Anna environmental samples indicated that two man-made isotopes were prese'rit. Cesium-137 was detected in five samples at two locations. During the-preoperational period, cesium-137 was measured in samples of aquatic sediment. In 1993 cobalt-60 was measured in two samples at an average of 56.5 pCi/kg. Sediment contamination does not provide a direct dose pathway to man. The samples of shoreline soil monitored downstream of the site contained no measurement of cesium-134. Cesium-137 was measured in both samples at an average level of 662 pCi/kg which was slightly higher than the average of 534 pCi/kg detected in 1992. Ingestion Pathway Iodine-131 was not detected in any of the twenty-four milk samples using the radiochemical separation method. Although cesium-137 has been detected occasionally in previous years and attributed to past atmospheric nuclear weapons testing there were no detections during 1993. Strontium-90 was measured in all eight milk samples. Strontium-90 is attributed to past l atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. No strontium 89 was detected in any of the milk samples. ] Naturally occurring potassium-40 was measured in all the milk samples at normal environmental levels. ] l Activity in fish and vegetation samples along with milk does present a direct dose pathway to man. Fish samples during 1993 showed the presence of one man made isotope, cesium-137. This isotope was at an activity level somewhat higher than preoperational levels but statistically similar to levels in 1987 through 1992. Only cesium-137 was measured in preoperational environmental fish samples. Due to primary and secondary steam generator problems experienced at Nonh Anna during 1984/1985, a build up in activity levels both in effluents and fish did occur. Q Repairs to the steam generators and better liquid waste processing have reduced these activity I 55 levels in effluents and thus decreased activity levels are now being observed in the fish. The O evera8e ievei ef activitv ie i993 ef cesium-i>> was 3.0.* ef the revertins ievei. Vegetation samples contained the man-made isotope cesium 137. The cesium-137 activity levels during 1993 and in preoperational samples were statistically similar to the 1992 level.. Direct Exposure Pathway The direct exposure pathway as measured in the environment of the North Anna site by thermoluminescent dosimetry has remained essentially the same since the preoperational period in 1977 at 6 milliroentgens per month or 0.2 milliroentgens per day. The average dose levels - monitored have shown a normal fluctuation about these levels which are less than the estimated whole body dose due to natural terrestrial and cosmic radiation and the internal dose from natural radionuclides. Program Conclusions The results were as expected for normal environrnental samples. Naturally occurring activity was observed in sample media in the expected activity ranges. Occasional samples of nearly all media showed the presence of man-made isotopes. These have been discussed individually in the text. Observed activities were ar very low concentrations and had no significant dose consequence. As a method of referencing the measure radionuclide concentrations in sample media to the dose consequence, the data may be compared to the Reporting Level Concentrations listed in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual. These concentrations are based upon 25% of the annual dose commitment recommended by 10CFR50, Appendix I, to meet the criterion "As Low as is-Reasonably Achievable." Based upon the evidence of the environmental monitoring program the station is operating within regulatory limits. Thus, no unusual radiological characteristics were observed in the environs of the North Anna Nuclear Power Station during 1993. O 56 Vll. References

GROSS BETA ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES O Air Particulates After a delay of five or more days, allowing for the radon-222 and radon-220 (thoron) daughter products to decay, the filters are counted in a gas-flow proportional counter. An unused air particulate filter, supplied by the customer, is counted as the blank. Calculations of the results, the two sigma error and the lower limit of detection (LLD): RESULT (pCi/m3) = ((S/T)- (B/t))/(2.22 V E) TWO SIGMA ERROR (pCi/m3) = 2((S/T2) + (B/t 2))1/2 /(2.22 V E) LLD (pCi/m3) = 4.66 (B1/2)/(2.22 V E t) where: S = Gross counts of sample including blank B = Counts of blank E = Counting efficiency T = Number of minutes sample was counted t = Number of minutes blank was counted V = Sample aliquot size (cubic meters) 4 O 91

DETERMINATION OF GROSS BETA ACTIVITY 0 IN WATER SAMPLES Introduction The procedures described in this section are used to measure the overall radioactivity of water samples without identifying the radioactive species present. No chemical separation techniques are involved. One liter of the sample is evaporated on a hot plate. A smaller volume may be used if the sample has a significant salt content as measured by a conductivity meter. If requested by tqe customer, the sample is fiitered through No. 54 filter paper before evaporation, removing particles greater than 30 microns in size. After evaporating to a small volume in a beaker, the sample is rinsed into a 2-inch diameter stainless steel planchette which is stamped with a concentric ring pattern to distribute residue evenly. Final evaporation to dryness takes place under heat lamps. Residue mass is determined by weighing the planchette before and after mounting the sample. The planchette is counted for beta activity on an automatic proportional counter. Results are calculated using empirical self-absorption curves O which eiiow for tne cnange in effective counting efficiency caused by the residue mass. Detection Capability Detection capability depends upon the sample volume actually represented on the planchette, the background and the efficiency of the counting instrument,-and upon self absorption of beta particles by the mounted sample. Because the radioactive species are not identified, no decay corrections are made and the reported activity refers to the counting time. The minimum detectable level (MDL) for water samples is nominally 1.6 picoCuries per liter for gross beta at the 4.66 sigma level (1.0_ pCi/l at the 2.83 sigma 1 level), assuming that 1 liter of sample is used and that g gram of sample residue is mounted on the planchette. These figures are based upon a counting time of'50 minutes and upon representative values of counting efficiency and background of 0.2 and 1.2 cpm, respectively. The MDL becomes significantly lower as the mount weight decreases because of reduced self-absorption. At a zero mount weight, the 4.66 sigma MDL for gross beta 1 is 0.9 picoCuries per liter. These values reflect a beta counting efficiency of 0.38. ) 92 l l i

GAMMA SPECTROMETRY OF SAMPLES O Milk and Water A 1.0 liter Marinelli beaker is filled with a representative aliquot of the sample. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis. Dried Solids Other Than Soils and Sediments A large quantity of the sample is dried at a low temperature, less than 100 C. As much as possible (up to the total sample) is loaded into a tared 1-liter Marinelli and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis. Fish As much as possible (up to the total sample) of the edible portion of the sample is loaded into a tared Marinelli and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately 1000 minutes with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse height analysis. Schs and Sediments Soils and sedim9nts are dried at a low temperature, less than 100 C. The soil or sediment is loaded fully into a tared, standard 300 cc container and weighed. The sample is then counted for approximately six hours with a shielded Ge(Li) detector coupled to a mini-computer-based data acquisition system which performs pulse-height and analysis. Charcoal Cartridges (Air lodine) Charcoal cartridges are counted up to five at a time, 'with one positioned on the - face of a Ge(Li) detector and up to four on the side of the Ge(Li) detector. Each Ge(Li) detector is calibrated for both positions. The detection limit for 1-131 of each charcoal cartridge can be determined (assuming no positive 1-131) uniquely from the volume of air which passed through it. In the event 1-131 is observed in the initial counting of a J set, each charcoal cartridge is then counted separately, positioned on the face'of the - detector. 98 , 1 1

ENVIRONMENTAL DOSIMETRY O: Teledyne isotopes uses a CaSO4:Dy thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) which the company manufactures. This material has a high light output, negligible thermally induced signal loss (fading), and negligible self dosing. The energy response curve (as well as all other features) satisfies NRC Reg. Guide 4.13. Transit doses are accounted for by use of separate TLDs. Following the field exposure period the TLDs are placed in a Teledyne Isotopes Model 8300. One fourth of the rectangular TLD is heated at a time and the measured light emission (luminescence) is recorded. The TLD is then annealed and exposed.to a known Cs-137 dose; each area is then read again. This provides a calibration of each area of each TLD after every field use. The transit controls are read in the same manner. Calculations of results and the two sigma error in net milliroentgen (mR): RESULT = D = (D3 +D2+D 3 4D 4 )/4 TWO SIGMA ERROR = 2((D3 -D)2+(D2-D)2+(D3-D)2+(94.D)2)/3)1/2 WHERE: D3 = the net mR of area 1 of the TLD and similarly for D2, D3 , and D4 D1

De EPA water. however has 3 minerals which have greater self-absorption that the sodium nitrate matrtx. he EPA has agreed to send us a gallon of their water which we can use to prepare a self. absorption curve withTh-230. . (c0 By overs 4 pit, we dk! not use the spedal self-absorption curve which we had previously dertved using EPA water and Cs.137 starmiard. We will use the EPA curve in the future. We may also re<$erive tids curve using a water sample which the EPA has agreed to serxl us. (c) . He counting data and 1, dyw." were ver18ed. Poembly some effidendes used were erroneously high. causing low values. A less hkely cause is an errw in dilution. New Ra-226 standards will be prepared. Closer monitoring of out of control efBdendes will be done and extra care in preparation of the sample will be =*tnined. (0 ' The calentattans were checked and found to be carect. %e results of six gamma emitting isotopes were reported to the EPA. The results of four were within 1 normmH=d deviation: a alth, within 2 normahwd deviations. Only the Zn-65 average was outside the control limits. %ere is no obvious reason why one isotope should be outside the control limits, while five other isotopes were within control Itmits. (g) An inve=Hgannn is being conducted; results will be avaGable shortly. 2
