ZPS-ER REVISION NO. 6 JANUARY 1983 6.2 APPLICANT'S PROPOSED OPERATIONAL MONITORING PROGRAMS O
C i
V The objective of the operational monitoring programs is to obtain comprehensive information on environmental conditions near the Wm. H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (ZPS-1) for comparison with data obtained by baseline and preoperational environmental programs.
This comparison will document environmental changes that result from plant operation. This section outlines preliminary plans for monitor-ing radiation, thermal and chemical discharges, meteorological phenom-ena, and ecological characteristics. The programs will monitor natural phenomena and plant-related changes in the air and surface waters on the plant site and nearby off-site areas.
Commercial operation of ZPS-1 is scheduled for January 1979.
Since monitoring systems design and monitoring equipment selec-tion is not final and since final selection of sampling locations de-pends upon anticipated results from the preoperational monitoring pro-grams, the descriptions provided here shall convey the intent and objec-tives of the program. Detailed descriptions of the monitoring systems, equipment sensitivity and location, plus sampling methodology and correc-tive action to be taken if a limiting condition is exceeded appear in this section.
l6 6.2.1 Radiological Monitoring 6.2.1.1 Plant Effluent Monitoring System (3
(~)
The Process Radiation Monitoring System in conjunction with the in-plant sampling program is designed to monitor and record radia-tion levels in all plant effluents and to isolate effluent streams containing radioactivity when activity levels reach a preset limit.
This system consists of numerous channels with detectors and numerous sampling points located ti roughout the plant to monitor the gaseous and liquid effluent streamt. Effluent paths include the service water discharge, the reactor building vent, and the Standby 3
Gas Treatment Discharge Vent.
6.2.1.1.1 Liquid-Discharge Monitors The service water system discharge will be monitored by detectors in the process liquid radiation monitor system. The processed liquid radwas t will be discharged into the service water system. The monitor channel will consist of a gamma sensitive detector, a main con-trol room mounted monitor / indicator and a main control room high level 3
instrument failure alarm. The instrument measurement range is a func-tion of source geometry, background radiation levels, shielding, energy l
levels, sampling method, etc.
Typical instrument ranges for these monitors will be 10 to 106 counts per minute. The monitoring channel will be designed to detect anticipated release rates where practical.
p 6.2-1
ZPS-ER REVISION NO. 6 JANUARY 1983 6.2.1.1.2.2.4 Portable Air Samplers s
)
Ten high-volume and six low-volume portable air sampling units are provided at the plant for the collection of short-term or 3
long-term grab samples, as required. The units are used to collect particulate and iodine activity on appropriate filter media, which are analyzed for radioactivity in the station laboratory.
6.2.1.2 Environmental Radiological Monitoring The environmental radiological monitoring program will closely resemble the preoperational program (Sect. 6.1.5) and may be modified au necessary to account for measured station releases and other parameters that might affect normal exposure pathways. The opera-tional program will have these objectives:
a.
to detect sudden changes and evaluate long-term trends in environmental radioactivity levels; b.
to assess actual or potential exposure of man and other biota to radioactive materials or radiation present in the environment; c.
to determine the fate of contaminants released by ZPS-1.
The operational monitoring program will take effect at
{s the time of fuel loading. During the initial stage of plant operation, the monitoring program will be as comprehensive and designed to test any projected correlations between radioactive effluents and levels in the environment. Table 6.2-1 shows the proposed changes in the preopera-tional program for operational monitoring.
If radioactivity levels in the environmant are sufficiently low and if correlation exists be-tween predicted and actual levels in the environment, the operational monitoring program will be reduced, retaining emphasis on indicator organisms and selected media. Compliance with regulations could then be demonstrated based on plant effluent data, site specific environmen-tal radionuclide transfer models, and dose calculation models. Figures 6.1-6 and 6.1-7 show proposed ronitoring/ sampling locations for the 3
radiological eanitoring program.
6.2.2 Cnemical Effluent Monitoring i
Samples will be collected and analyzed for parameters as required by the NPDES Permit issued and enforced by the Ohio Environ-6 l
mental Protection Agency.

6.2-3
ZPS-ER REVISION NO. 6 JANUARY 1983 6.2.3 Thermal Effluent Monitoring
,O The thermal effluent monitoring program will include in-6 strumentation for continuous monitoring as required by the NPDES Permit.
6.2.4 Meteorological Monitoring Meteorological. monitoring will continue throughout the life of the plant.
The data collection program will be similar to 2
the monitoring program described in Section 6.1.3.1.
The rationale for the choice of locations and heights at which meteorological monitor-ing is conducted is explained in Section 6.1.3.1.
The possibility that the cooling tower plume might reach the ground during downwash condi-tions, and the associated potential for fog or icing occurrence is an area of concern. Three creas where the cooling tower plume might cause e of the cool-problems are the proposed switching yard, about 500 ft eas ing tewer; Moscow, Ohio, about 1 km (0.62 miles) southeast of the tower; and the Ohio River, about 0.3 km (0.1 miles) west of the cooling tower.

ZPS-ER REVISION NO. 6 JANUARY 1983 f-~g Overcamp and Hoult (Ref. 6.2.1) it was determined that plume downwash l t 7
would occur when wind speeds exceeded 12 meters per second (27 mph) during neutral stability and 15 mps (34 mph) for stable conditions.
For wind speeds greater than 12 mps the plume will be caught in the wake and be brought down to the ground at a distance of two to four tower heights away. For unstable air, the plume will be short enough to cause no concern.
Since stable conditions, such as stability category F, do not occur with such high winds, this situation can be safely neglected.
In addition, wind speeds of 12 mps will occur less than one percent of the time. Thus, under extreme conditions of neutral 4
stability, moderate wind and high humidity, the fog potential in the vicinity of the plant site may be increased 5 to 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> per year.
About one or two of these hours might be expected to occur with temp-eratures low enough to cause light icing. These conditions are likely to be associated with the passage of a storm system however, in which clouds and light fog or rain may already exist.
Thus, the moisture from the cooling tower plume would only contribute to moisture already present.
6.2.4.1 Climatology Climatological data are recorded at several U.S. Weather Bureau Offices near the Zimmer site.
The two nearest 1st order National i
Weather Service stations (from which data are used in this report) are located approximately 25 miles northwest of the site. These are the Greater Cincinnati Airport Weather Bureau Station (Covington, Kentucky),
[~')\\
and Abbe Observatory (Cincinnati, Ohio). Climatological records at
\\s-these stations include temperature, wind cloud cover and fog data, along with other special reports. Limited precipitation and temperature data are also available for various locations, (one being Chilo Dia #34 which is used in this report) within a 100 mile radius of the Zimmer site.

6.2.5.2 Terrestrial Monitoring A monitoring program will be conducted to assess three areas of potential impact:
(1) effects of cooling tower drift, (2) baseline and operational sound levels, and (3) construction and maintenance of transmission lines.
In addition, any occurrence of an unusual or important event such as excessive collisions of birds with the natural draft cooling tower will be recorded as described in Section 4.1 of the Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix B to this report).
6.2.5.2.1 Cooling Tower Drift The terrestrial operational monitoring program to assess the impact of cooling tower drift will consist of aerial photographic surveys of vegetation including low altitude color infrared photography.
Detailed descriptions of methods, sampling dates, and reporting requirements appear in Sections 4.2.1 and 5.4 of the Environ-mental Protection Plan (Appendix B to this report).
In addition, soil samples will be collected in triplicate l
at the time of the photographic surveys to determine soil conductivities.
Conductivity readings (pmho/cm) will be expressed as ppm of total soluble salts and will include.a mean and standard error for each vegetation type.
6.2.5.2.2 Sound Level Survey Surveys will be conducted to quantify the background and l
the operat!.onal sound levels that exist at various locations around the site. Thr selection, calibration, and use of equipment; the conduct of the surveys; and the analysis and reporting of data will conform to the provisioas of the applicable American National Standards Institute standard.s. Detailed descriptions of methods, survey locations, types of measurements, and reporting requirements appear in Sections 4.2.2 and 5.4.1 of the Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix B to this report).
6.2.5.2.3 Construction and Maintenance of Transmission Lines Details of the transmission corridor inspection program are discussed in Section 4.2.3 of the Environmental Protection Plan (Appendix B to this report).

1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan f-~g U
The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of enviranmental values during construction and operation of the nuclear facility.
The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:
1.
Verify that the station is operated in an environmentally accep-table manner, as established by the FES and other NRC environ-mental impact assessments.
2.
Coordinate NRC requirements and maintain consistency with other federal, state, and local requirements for environmental protection.
1 3.
Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construc-tion and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.
Environmental concerns identified in the FES which relate to water j
quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.

ZPS-ER REVISION NO. 6 JANUARY 1983 2.0 Environmental Protection Issues In the FES-OL dated June 1977, the staff considered the environmental impacts associated with the operation of the William H. Zimmer Nuclear Power Station.
Certain environmental issues were identified which required study or license conditions to resolve environmental concerns and to assure adequate protection of the environment.
2.1 Aguatic Issues The NRC will rely on the NPDES permit issued and enforced by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for regulation of matters involving water quality and aquatic biota.
2.2 Terrestrial Issues Those issues requiring monitoring programs identified previously and not yet completely resolved are listed below.
1.
Detection of long-term or sudden changes in vegetation due to operation of the station (FES-OL Sections 6.2.3 and 6.3.3).
2.
The applicant will conduct a baseline sound level eurvey af ter construction activity has been completed, and a short duration operational sound level survey when the plant reaches its full operational level. Daytime as well as nighttime measurements 0-will be taken to determine ambient day-night equivalent sound levels (Sections 6.2.4 and 6.3.4).
3.
Construction and maintenance of transmission lines (Sections 6.2.3 and 6.3.3).
NRC requirements with regard to remaining terrestrial issues are specified in Subsection 4.2 of this EPP.
