1.0 PROBLEM STATEMENT / PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE OF CAI.CULATION This calculation supports the use of flowable solids taken from the LGS holding pond, cooling tower basins, and spray pond as onsite fill. This material will be monitored to confirm that any radioactivity ld concentrations are not greater than Solids Activity Limits that are ten (10) times the Effluent Lower Limits of Detectability (LLD). This calculation determines worst case radiological impacts, if the lA flowable solids radioactivity concentrations were at the Solids Activity Limits.

Radjological impact considered are:

(1) Airborne concentrations and doses due to wind borne erosion of the flowable solids pile. These concentrations will be compared with 10 CFR 20 [Ref.1] limits, and doses compared with '

10CFR50 [Ref. 21 limits. It is desirable that these concentrations and doses should be negligible ld compared with these limits, to support the use of the Solids Activity Limits as screening criteria.

(2) Groundwater transport of activity to the Schuylkill River. No consideration of groundwater transport to well locations is necessary, since all offsite and onsite wells are upgradient from the locations where this flowable solids may be placed.

l4 (3) Evaluation of water caused erosion impacts.

(4) Worst case dose rate to workers directly over the flowable solids, due to direct shine and inhalation.

(5) Worst case dose rate for a hypothetical residential use of the flowable solids placement area.

Q This data will provide an indication of the potential for free release of the areas where these flowable solids are used, after plant decommissioning.

(6) Offsite doses due to airborne releases for pathways other than inhalation.

2.0

SUMMARY

OF RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS This calculation analyzes radiological impacts of a conservatively characterized system for using flowable solids as onsite fill. Radioactivity in solids to be placed onsite will be less than the Solids..

l l Activity Limits, as described in Attachment 1.

I Wind caused airborne releases from the fill area can cause only a negligible contribution to offsite doses.

The calculated inhalation dose commitment to an individual at the site boundary is 1.82E 4 mrem /yr.

lg Doses to other pathways, modeled using GASPAR, are all at or below 0.101 mrem /yr, with a very l

conservative isotopic mix.

t Worst case concentrations in releases from the solids to groundwater will be near (2.93 MPC) the l

l g', regulatory limits for effluents, even if all isotopes are at the Solids Activity Limits. Concentra l, about 0.021 of tic 10CFR20 Maximum Permissable Concentration (MPC) will result at the site

  • l boundary when credit for the transit time of 194 years Ibased on Sr-90]is taken. No onsite or offsite wells will be impacted.

l /\ Potential release conmntrations due to erosion will be less than an MPC.

i Dose rates to operators during handling this material will be far below 10CFR2O restricted area limits.

Airborne a,ctivity wi:1 also be negligible.

d 3.0 DESIGN BASES / INPUT / CRITERIA 3.1 DESIGN BASES / INPUT

, l - (1) T,he total flowable sohds removal rate is conservatively set at 70,000 ft' per year. A total of 16.

placements are assumed for a total of 1,120,000 ft 8. This total allowance for the remaining 30 years of plant life is approximately 10 times the solids removed over the first.10 years of plant lg j

life. The compressed schedule of placement is used to maximize the calculated groundwater l

ef fects t..id to minimize potential that bases for this calculation could delay solids placement. See l Section 5.1.1 for discussion of historical solids removal.

These solids are unlikely to be spread over more than 70,000 ft2 (1.61 acres). [See' Section lA (2) 5.1.3.]

(3) The flowable solids will be monitored to assure that any radioactivity is at concentrations less ld than the Solids Activity Limits, which are set at ten (10) times the Effluent LLD for potentially expected isotopes. [See Section 5.1.2, and Attachment 1 for Effluent LLD Derivation.]

(4) The area for solids placement will be located down-gradient from any offsite well, or onsite well used for other than groundwater sampling.

3.2 DESIGN CRITERIA (1) Doses to onsite personnel from any radioactivity in the flowable solids shall be within 10CFR20 limits and ALARA.

(2) Offsite airborne concentrations due to dusting from the flowable solids fill area shall be a very small fraction of 10CFR20 unrestricted area concentrations.

(3) Offsite doses due to dusting from the flowable solids area shall be a very small fraction of doses resulting from other sources at LGS.

(4) Groundwater concentrations, due to any radioactivity transport from the flowable solids, shall be less than 10CFR20, Appendix B limits, upon discharge to the Schuylkill River, (5) Activity in stormwater runoff, as discharged from the holding pond, shall have radioactivity concentration levels less than 10CFR20, Appendix B limits, upon discharge to the Schuylkill River.

,, y (6) It is preferable that the flowable solids not require any additional handling upon LGS decommissioning, to allow free retcase of the flowable solids use area. Free release criteria

'g published in the USNRC proposed rule on Radiological Criteria for Decommissioning (Ref. 3) shall be used in this determination.

5.0 DETAILS OF CALCULATIONS 5,1 MATERIALS HANDLED 5.1.1 FLOWABLE SOLIDS REMOVAL RATES Flowable solids may be taken from the cooling tower basins, the holding pond, and the spray pond.

Discussion with PECO personnel provided historical solids generation data, as discussed below.

The most recent operation (1994) on the holding pond yielded 7,900 cu. ft. of material This operation is expected on perhaps an every three year basis.

The cooling tower basins are expected to be the dominant source of material. The only historical ld operation on a cooling tower basin (Unit 1,1991) yielded 68,000 cubic feet of dewatered sludge.

Another cleaning may be required in 1996. The Unit 2 cooling tower appears less prone to flowable solids buildup and has never required cleaning.

The spray pond has not yet required flowable solids removal. The spray pond has a design margin of 3 inches of flowable solids, displacing 0.68 million gallons of water (UFSAR, Section 9.2.6.4.2.5].

Thus, if cleaning were ever required, and the entire margin were to be restored, approximately 91,000 cu. f t. of material would be removed.

j For this analysis an enveloping assumption of 70,000 cubic feet of total material in each placement.

l To minimile the potential that the calculation could cause a delay in material placement, this amount

is assumed to be deposited each year, for 16 years. This compressed schedule maximizes calculated '

~

d concentrations in groundwater. The total assumed placement would be 1,120,000 cubic feet, which

' is more than 10 times that historically observed over the first 10 years of plant life. These values are l_

expected to envelope any cooling tower and holding pond requirements. -This is also a more realistic amount for a spray pond cleaning operation. 1 5.1.2 WORST CASE RADIOACTIVITY CONTENT i

. ,Littly or, no radioactivity has been found in these flowable solids in the past, and they have been 4 disposed of as non-rsdioactive, non-hazardous wastes. . To establish a conservative estimate of the amounts and isotopic breakdowns of the postulated radioactive material dispersed within the flowable solids, Table 1 was developed. This table shows (1) Solids Activity Limits which would be used as a l[ screening criteria, for a range of isotopes which have been found in various plant process fluids and waste streams; and (2) the 10CFR20, Appendix B limits on effluent concentrations in air and water.

5.1.3 LOCATION AND LAYOUT FOR MATERIAL PLACEMENT

- The location for the placement of this material has been selected to be in an ares to the northwest of  ;

the spray pond and south of the meteorology tower No.1. A finallayout for this material has not been lA determined. Therefore, for this analysis, the material is assumed to be spread over an area of not l4u l greater than 70,000 sq. ft. (6503 sq. meters).

5.2 POTENTIAL AIRBORNE RELEASES TO OFFSITE AREAS

.- 5.2.1 AIRBORNE RELEASE MECHANISMS FROM FLOWABLE SOLIDS FILL AREA Any airborne releases from the flowable solids fill area are expected to be due to wind caused dusting of this material. Attachment 2, taken from Reference 6, describes the physical processes involved, and the methods of assessment performed by the USNRC for uranium milling tailing piles.

Additionally, Ref. 7 indicates that an air dust loading of 10" gm/cu. meter can be used for airborne activity above the contaminated soil under normal dusty conditions. A loading of 5x10" gm/cu. meter can be used for soil being worked, such as might be the case for grading, or residential use gardening. ,

5.2.2 OFFSITE AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS ANO INHALATION DOSES

- Table 1 A shows the resulting inhalation dose rate to an individual at the nearest site boundarv to the l 4 solids fill, to be 1.82x10 mrem /yr, based on the above normal dust loading.

l.

ll l

1

< The inhalation dose rate above the fillis low enough to be considered a negligibfe contribution to offsite doses rates resulting from other LGS activities.

! 5.2.3 OFFSITE DOSES DUE TO INGESTION PATHWAYS Attachment 7 is a GASPAR run output, calculating doses due to various ingestion pathways. X/O values are based on several f actors. Releases are assumed to be 370 gm/yr/sq. meter, conservatively based on uranium mill tailing analyses from Reference 6, and shown in Attachment 2, page 6. This jd _

yields a re[ ease of 2.406x10' gm/yr, or 0.07625 gm/sec. [See Table 18.1

AND SPRAY POND, AS FILL J.o 7198.600 l Using the 10 4gm/cu. meter normal dust loading, a X/O of 1.312x10-5 sec/cu. meter is calculated. As

j. shown in Table 1 A, additional credit can be taken for wind direction frequency toward a location on the l

nearest site boundary, and for the additionallateral dispersion. No credit is taken for vertical dispersion l

or for any deposition effects in route to the site boundary. The X/O is therefore adjusted by 0.103 to l

account for wind frequency and 0.68 for lateral dispersion, yielding an net X/q of 9.189x 10 5 Default pathway parameters are used and are conservative for the LGS site.

d Dosps fro.m the GASPAR analysis in no case exceed 0.101 mrem /yr, and are extremely conservative.

5.3 RELEASES THROUGH GROUNDWATER 5.3.1 BEHAVIOR OF GROUNDWATER RELEASES No consideration of groundwater transport to well locations is necessary, since all offsite and onsite .

jd wells are up-gradient from the locations where this flowable solids may be placed. Only consideration of groundwater transport to the Schuylkill River is needed.  ;)

Removal of any radioactivity from the flowable solids fi:1 to groundwater is the result of radionuclide' leaching from the contaminated zone. The leached radioactivity is assumed to be carried by the infiltered water. Attachment 3 [Ref. 81, Equation E.4, is used to determine the infiltration rate. The e annual average precipitation rate [P,] used is from UFSAR Table 2.3.1.4, and is 43.9 inches of water. ,

This would be 1.12 m/yr. The standard evapotranspiration and runoff coefficients [C, and C,1 were 2

j used. No irrigation was assumed.' The resulting infiltration rate is 0.448 m/yr. Over the 70,000 ft g;;;

l_

surface, this provided a water flow of 2.91E +09 ml/yr.

J.ttachment 3, taken from Ref. 8, also provides a basis for assessing this leaching phenomena; Table 2A shows the derivation of teach rates from the solids.

Table 2B shows the ratio of the resulting concentration to 10CFR20, Appendix B Effluent Limits.

l Assuming that all material placements, for allisotopes, are at the Solids Activity Limits, the calculated l releases to underlying groundwater is 2.93 MPC.

l To determine the groundwater transport time the same methodology was used as was applied to ll radwaste tank spillages in UFSAR Section 2.4.13. The information below shows the application for

. l both the radwaste tank and the solids area.

As .shown in, Table 2B, it is ' expected that the additional decay in transit from below the fill area to the Schuylkill River will be sufficient to assure that discharges of groundwater would meet these limits.

5.4 RELEASES THROUGH EROSION 5.4.1 NORMAL RAINFALL CONDITIONS l

The fill area is expected to be graded and seeded to minimize erosion. Erosion control fencing will also l be used as appropriate.

For worst case evaluation purposes, erosion by way of runoff will contain one (1) percent by weight l[

solids. A runoff coefficient of 0.2 is used, consistent with the groundwater assessment above. With l

the 1.12 m/yr precipitation rate, and a 6503 sq. m. area, the total water runoff would be 1.46E+09 l

ml/yr. Using the worst case 1 percent solid as a conservative upper bound,1.46E+07 gm/yr of the fill material would be eroded. Note that this solids loading (10,000 ppm)is on the order of 100 times l

l that typically in estuaries such as the Deleware (Ref 9].

For further illustration purposes, this erosion rate would yield a loss of about 0.38 percent of the nominal 70,000 ft fillload 8 each year, or about 1.2 mm average surf ace loss Reference 9 estimates of soilloss for the Deleware River basin averages approximately 50 metric tonnes /sq. km,'or only about 0.025 mm. The Schuylkill River Basin would be expected to be comparable.

l A 1 percent slurry will yield a combined radionuclide concentration within 10CFR20, Appendix B limits, l as shown in Table 6.

l /

Given the demonstrated conservatism of runoff loading assumptions, and the resulting acceptability of l

calculated doses, the standard erosion control measures described above should be ample to assure that l

l regulatory limits are not exceeded.

period as described in Section 5.4.1 above. Thus, concentrations leaving the fill area would be no

~

worse than the condition shown in Table 6, unless significantly more erosion occured. Additionally, this conclusion considers dilution only by rainfall falling directly on the 1,61 acre fill area. Runoff can lk be expected to actually mix with and be diluted by runoff from surrounding areas before discharging 4 '

beyond the site boundary. The total site area is 595 acres. Therefore, for this severe event, average discharge concentrations, even with severe erosion, would be unlikely to exceed 10CFR20 Effluent Limits.

5.5 OCC,1)PA,TIONAL DOSE RATES DURING MATERIAL HANDLING V

Table 3 shows external exposure dose rates for contact with the flowable solids fill, modeled as a semi-infinite slab. Also shown are calculated doses due to inhalation, based on suspended airborne activity commensurate with this material being worked.

The worst case external exposure dose rate is less than 0.05 mrem /hr, and therefore this would not be -

considered a radiation area. The inhalation dose rates are such that respiratory protection would not q.

be required.

5.6 RESIDENTIAL USE DOSE ASSESSMENTS l . An additional concern with the use of flowable solids,is whether this material might' require additional handling during plant decommissioning and eventual site free release.

J In order to quantify this, a residential use assessment is performed. The methodology is as Documented in NUREG/CR 5512_" Residual Radioactive Contamination from Decommissioning -Technical Basis for Translating Contamination Levels to Annual Dose" [Ref. 7]. Relevant portions of this reference are in Attachment 7.

Two . standardized exposure scenarios are considered, as follows:

(1) The Residential Use (Surface Soil) Scenario, which includes:

(o) External gamma shine to resident, both inside and outside of the residence; (b) Inhalation doses; (c) Food ingestion from garden grown in this soil.

82) The Drinking Water Scenario.

The doses from the surface soil scenario are given in Table 4, and are controlled by the last material deposit. The design criteria for free release is taken from Ref. 3, and requires that doses be less that

,- 15 mrem /yr and ALARA below that level. It is likely that several decades may be required for .

- decommissioning, including an allowance for decay of radioactivity in plant equipment. Table 4 shows that, even for this worst case isotopic mix, that annual doses under this scenario would be below 15 mrem within 20 years.

Table 5 shows doses in the Drinking Water Scenario. The total deposited activity is assumed to be 16 l

70,000 cu f t. loads, each deposited one year apart. The dose conversion f actors from NUREG/CR-5512 require, as input, the total activity in the contaminated material at free release. Therefore, that

Use of this material as onsite fillis not expected to interfere with free release of the site, after plant decommissioning.' This is because:

i j'l (1) Even with very conservative activity assumptions, the dose rates would be 'within decommissioning criteria within 20 years; (2) The residual radioactivity is likely to be substantially less; (3) The material in its final configuration will be easily surveyed and evaluated to confirm its acceptability for free release.

Q Given that the 10CFR20 concentration limits are those projected to yield 50 mrem /yr, the air total should correspond to an annual done commitment of 2.6E-03 mrem /yr. A To credit dispersion to the site boundary the placement area is treated as having a lateral extent of no greater than 100 meters.

A virtual source is then determined such that a single 22.5 degree sector would encompass the source. This v.rtual source would be i

at 250 meters back from the distributed source. The nearest site boundary to the placement area is approximately 400 ft, (120 M) from the placement area in between the ENE and UNE directions. At this distance winds from the SW and 1/2 of the SSW & WSW Sectors could cross the placement area and impact a receiver at the boundary.

Based on UFSAR Table 2.3.2-2, the total wind frequency would be 0.047+0.5*(0.060+0.051) = 0.103. Therefore the dose above the placement area can be adjusted to account for wind frequency and also, additional lateral dispersion [250 / (120 + 250) = 0.68]. Id The resulting calculated dose rate is 2.6E-03

  • 0.103
  • 0.68 = 1.82E-04.
