t OPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 ;
l I. Introduction The Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, owned and operated by Alabama Power Company (APCo), located in Houston County,' Alabama is approximately fifteen miles east of Dothan, Alabama on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River.
Unit 1, a Westinghouse Electric Corporation Pressurized Water Reactor.(PWR) with a rated power output of 860 megawatts electrical (MWe) achieved initial criticality on August 9,.1977.~ The unit was declared " commercial" on December 1, 1977. Unit No. 2, also a 860 MWe Westinghouse PWR, achieved initial criticality on May 8,'1981 and was declared " commercial" on July 30, 1981.
During 1982 Unit No. I was shut down for a scheduled' refueling outage from January 1.to March.3. Unit No. 2 was shut.down for a scheduled refueling outage on October 22, 1982 and remained shut;down-to November 30, 1982.
The sample collection and analysis schedule for the operational off-site
! radiological environmental monitoring program implemented in May 1977 and as modified on July 1, 1980 with the addition of 14 TLD stations was continued
~
I during 1982 for both Units No. I and 2. .The program was further modified effective April 1982 to reflect Amendment No. 26 to the Unit 1 Technical Speci-
- i. fications issued March 1, 1982. This program was designed to monitor any.
i radioactivity contribution to the' environs from the plant throughLeither the j airborne' or waterborne pathways. - The type of samples monitored, and number
- and type of sampling stations are shown in-Table 1. Indicator sampling stations
~
were located, where practical, at locations where detection of the radiological l' effects of the' plant's operation was thought to be most likely, where the samples collected should provide a significant indication of potential dose to man, and
, where an adequate comparison of predicted radiological levels might be made with ,
measured' levels. .The control stations were placed at locations'where radiological :r
, levels were not expected to be significantly influenced.by plant operation, i.e.,
at background locations. . For.some airborne' radioactivity samples, community .
stations-were' located at the principal population centers between the indicator- !
and the. control stations (3-8 miles). These in normal operation could be'used.
if-desired, as additional control' stations, and alternatively, as indicator istations-in the nearest population centers in'the event-of a major airborne-release of. radioactivity-from the plant.-

The' samples were' collected by APCo's technical staff except for the in situ Ge(Li)' gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements of soil. The latter were made by staff _ members of the University of Georgia, Center for Applied Isotope Studies.
A11Lsample. analyses were contracted to either the University of Georgia (U.Ga.).
or the Eberline Instrument. Corporation (EIC) Santa Fe Facility. The minimum detectable concentration (MDC), specified for the various samples and their respective analyses are given in Table 3.
.A number of sampling problems and/or deviations from the sampling schedule were encountered dering 1982. These are lisced in Table 5. Aside from the usual occasional air sampling station pump problems and non-availability of forage at the ptepared plots during the winter months, there were no major deviations.
A. Airborne Particulates and Iodine All of the airborne particulates and iodine monitoring stations shown in Figures 3.12-1, and 3.12-3 and the community stations listed in Table 2
' were equipped with Bell and Gogsett vacuum pumps which operate continuously '
at a flow rate of about 0.04/m / min (1.5 ft3 / min). The particulates were
- collected on.Gelman Metricel 50 mm filters. In series with, but downstream of the particulate filters. Gelman 50 mm activated charcoal cartridges (or equivalent) were used for collection of iodine. The latter were mounted horizontally to the ground to insure uniform airflow through the i filter. The accumulative air flows were measured with Rockwell Gas Meters which were calibrated against a. certified flow meter. Both the particulate filters'and charcoal cartridges.were collected weekly and were sent to U, Ga. for radioactivity analysis.
Gross beta radioactivity measurements were made on each air particulate filter using a Tenelec low background alpha-beta counting system. The
~
filters from each station were composited and at the end of each quarter were analyzed for gamma emitters using an eighteen percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based multichannel analyzer (MCA).
All'the air monitoring station locations shown in Figures-3.12-1 and
, 3.12-3 have the capability of monitoring airborne iodine. Weekly routine samples were collected and were analyzed for iodine-131 by U. Ga. using la Canberra'-1024 channel MCA and a special counter designed and built by
-U. Ga. for1 counting iodine-1311 activity in charcoal cartridges, using l two 1 x 3 NaI(TI) detectors and matched photomultiplier tubes.
1 B. External Radiation For the continuous measurement.of environmental gamma radiation,
~
' natural LiF (TLD-100) chips.were supplied and read by Eberline1 Instrument.
- Corporation. TLD packets each containing five ultrasonically: cleaned'and annealed LiF chips were supplied on both a quarterly and an~ annual 1 basis.
The chips _wer'e-first sealed in opaque polyethylene to give a packet that was light-tight, weather-proof, gnd'which had a low mass attenuation for
. radiation (approximately 50mg/cm )..
H l
l' l -
k (3)
Two control TLD packets were shipped with each quarterly and annual batch of TLD's as an indicator of any unusual exposure during transit, and at the plant site prior to, or after field exposure. On the plant site, all TLD packets were kept in a lead safe with 2-inch walls except for those receiving' field exposure or in the process of being exchanged.
Control Packet No. I which had been received with the new batch of TLD's and Control Packet No. 2 received with the previous batch of TLD's were returned with the field exposed TLD's for a reading of their respective doses. The new Control Packet No. 2 remained in the safe until the next TLD exchange and the above procedure was repeated.
At each external radiation monitoring statfon, shown in Figures 3.12-1, 3.12-2, and 3.12-3, two TLD packets, one changed and read quarterly and
.one changed and read annually, were exposed side-by-side on metal stakes at a height of one meter above the ground. For the. computation of the net field doses, a log of all exposure periods was maintained for each TLD packet.
C. Milk Milk samples were collected semi-monthly (bi-weekli af ter April 1. -
1982) at the location shown in Figure 3.12-3 and were analyzed by U. Ga.
for iodine-131 and gamma emitters. As a preservative during shipment, 1 ml of a 25 percent (by weight) merthiolate (Thimerasol) solution and 4 ml of a 6N NaOH solution were added to each 2.5 gallon sample.
The iodine-131 concentration in each sample was determined by collection on anion exchange resin, elution with sodium hypochlorite, followed by organic extraction and counting by beta-gamma coincidence the resultant toluene-iodine solution in a special design (UGA) low level liquid scintillation counter. Stable iodine carrier was added to each sample for determination of the radiochemical yield.
Once each month (each sample after April 1, 1982), a 1 liter sample was placed in a marinelli beaker and was then analyzed for gamma emitters using an 18 percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li)' detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer based MCA.
Also, once each month (January through March 1982) for each sampling station, a 1.5 liter aliquot of milk was taken for radiostrontium analysis.
'Following an EDIA separation of calcium, the_ single separation dual count technique, using a Tenelec LB5100 automatic low background alpha-beta counting system was used for beta measurements. Following the:second count, the in-growth of yttrium-90 was determined and stable strontium carrier was added for determination of radiochemical yield. -From these data, the strontium-90 and strontium-89 concentrations were calculated.

1. . - Forage Once each month, forage.was' collected from indica' tor grass plots located near the' air monitoring stations at the plant site perimeter:in sectors 7 (SSE) and 16 (N), and from a-control grass plot located near the air monitoring station in Dothan. After drying and pulverizing the samples were analyzed by U. Ga. for gamma emitters using an 18 per cent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer based MCA.
'2. Vegetables and Fruits
- a. Green leafy vegetables
-During the growing season, January through March, green- ;
-leafy. vegetables were obtained monthly as available from gardens in the vicinity:of the plant.(1-3 miles)-and from gardens in the.Dothan area (> 10 miles) and were analyzed by U. Ga. for gamma emitters using an 18 per cent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector, and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA. (Sampling of green leafy vegetables was discontinued after March 31, 1982).
- b. -Other Vegetables and Fruits Sampling of other vegetables'and fruits was discontinued-after. March 31, 1982.
E. Soil
-Annual in-situ gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements were made by U. Ga.
using ;a :10 per cent relative efficiency- high purity germanium detector and gamma-ray spectroscopy-system. specially' designed,for-field use, at the 7 indicator locations and:at the 5 community and control:(background)
' locations listed in Table 2.- A 1024 channel Canberra MCA was interfaced
.to a Hewlett-Packard 9825A calculator for-data: storage and analysis.

[ ' distilled and a 25 ml aliquot taken for tritium analysis using a large
~ volume (100 ml) low. background liquid scintillation counter specially ;
designed and built by U. Ga.
i G.. Groundwater.(Well) t In the Farley Plant area, there are no indicator sources of groundwater Lin the.true sense of the definition. A well which serves the Great Southern Paper-as'a source of potable water, located on the east bank of the
! Chattahoochee River about four miles south-southeast of the plant, was sampled on a quarterly basis and designated as an indicator station. A edeep well-which. supplies water to the,Whatley Residence located about i l'.2 miles southwest of the center of-the plant was sampled on a quarterly
- 1 basis and' designated as a control (background) station. Samples from-I both were sent to-U. Ga. for radioactivity, analysis. An aliquot from each sample was~taken for tritium analysis. After distillation, 25 ml samples
- were analyzed using a large volume (100 ml) low background liquid scintilla-tion counter specially designed and built,by U. Ga. From the remainder of each sample..altwo liter aliquot'was'taken.and evaporated to dryness at 100*C in a tray-lin'ed with plastic film.

- III. Results~and Discussion During the operational period, no known atmospheric nuclear tests were
, conducted. Identifiable radioactivity effects from the last tes; conducted by the Poeples Republic of China on October 16, 1980 were essentially non- 4 existent during 1982.
For. measurements involving radioactivity concentrations by volume.or mass the:designatidn " minimum detectable co'. centration" (MDC) is used to
' denote ~ the limit - of'. detection applicable . a- the 95 per cent confidence level.
The MDC isldefined as'"the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a, sample that.willLbe~ detected with 95 per cent probability with only 5 pericent probability of falsely; concluding its presence". For a particular-
, measurement, which may include radiochemical separation:
DC = 4.66~Sb (}
2.22 EMY
- where r
MDC is the estimated minimum detectable concentration as defined above.(pC1 per unit mass or volume)-
-Sb-is the standard deviation of.the background counting rate for_the sample being' analyzed @.posteriori)for of:a blank sample (a priori)-as. appropriate (counts per minute) 2.22'is the number of transformations per.picoeurie per minute -
f E is the counting efficiency (counts per transformation)1 M is the weight of sample in kilogram or volume'of sample in.

Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable).
Formeasbrementsinvolvingaquantityofradioactivityorradiationthat
~
is independent ofLthe sample.. volume'or mass the designation " lower limit of-detection" (LLD) is used to denote the limit of detection. applicable at the 95 per cent confidence'~ level. The LLD~is~ defined as "the smallest amounts'of-
~ ~
~
sample' activity:that williyield a net count.for which there is confidence at a' predetermined. level;that activity-is present". It's' applications are limited-
.to measurement ~ systems which denote _a. limiting detection capability without Yespect to the size of samplefand/or radiochemical yield and to measurements which by'their nature do not; involve concentrations, such as radiation dose a rates-(mrad /hr., mrad /qtr., etc.-)
' J A. : Airborne'Particulates and Iodine 5
-The-results:of the radioactivity. analyses of airborne-particulate filters and iodine. charcoal cartridges are'shown in. Table F06-1. The

. The gamma-ray spectroscopy data for the air particulate filter composites.did not show the-presence of fission product fallout
,. as1was'seen in.1981 and during the preoperational period. . Only traces of cesium-137 were found in a few samples. All iodine-131 values were below the measurement MDC as was found in 1981 and
'during the preoperational period.
B. External ~ Radiation The results of the external radiation measurements'using TLD packets, each containing five LiF chips, are shown in Table F06-2.
As.found during the preoperational measurement period and during 1981', the data reflects the differences in site speciffe soil radio-activity,'with the average indicator values higher than ice the community and control values. All the averages were lower than found in 1981, but were higher than found during the preoperational period. The sums for'the four quarterly measurements were higher than the averagea
'for.the annual.TLD's as was found in 1981. During the preoperational period that average values for the annual TLD's was slightly higher than the respective sums of the four quarterly. measurements which is
~
.the reverse of that found in 1981 and 1982.
C. lHilk The-results from the analysis of milk::for radioactivity are shownjin. Table F06-3. . Milk from the Brooks-Silcox Dairy was sampled as the. control. v No indicator milk locations were available for com-parison during 1982. Other than natural radioactivity and a low level
- of zinc-65 in one sample only strontium-89 and strontium-90 were ifound'asidstectable-levels. The average l strontium-89 value was about ~one
- half that found in 1981. and slightly lower than the value for
'the,preoperational period. The average = strontium-90 value was slightly
- lower:than for 1981 and lower by a factor of three: than for the' preoperational period.V D. .
Vegetation, R - The vegetation' sampled during this operational-perio'd included
( forage and green' leafy vegetables. The' radioactivity. analysis results for this operational period are shown in Table F06-4.
' Forage.fas during the preoperational period,2 continued to be a very: effective and sensitive. indicator.of. airborne. radioactivity.
, The specific activity values for the.various; gamma emitting radio-
~
nuclides:were not significantly different for'the indicator ~ locations e

E. Soil The results of the one irt situ Ge(Li) gamma-ray spectroscopy
, analysis'of' soil during this operational period are shown in Table F06-5.
The only man-made radioactivity found at low levels in all measurements was cesium-137. During the measurements in and during the pre-operational period, the fission products zirconium, niobium-95 and cesium-134' vere seen at most of the locations in addition to cesium-137..
The levels of cesium-137 were about the same as for the 1980 and pre-operational. periods.
F. Waterborne: Surface and Ground Water The results of radioactivity analyses of surface water from the Chattahoochee River and ground water from wells are shown in Table F06-6.
~
In a few surface water samples very low levels of cesium-134 and cesium-137 were seen in both the' indicator and control samples. The values were slightly higher for the control sampling location. 'The average tritium levels for the surface water indicator location downstream of the plant was about a factor of two higher than the average for the upstream control location, but is not considered signi-ficant since the average value is only about the same as those found
- in 1981 and does not represent a significant increase from the pre-operational period.
Again as in'1981, no detectable gamma radioactivity was found in the' ground water samples._ However, two of the indicator' samples from other Great Southern Paper Company Well indicated tritium at an average level only slightly lower than that for the. surface water from the river. Tritium was also found in two samples from the well during 1981 and in one sample during the preoperational period.
G. Sediment: River The results.of radioactivity analysis of sediment samples'from the-Chattahoochee River are shown'in Table F06-7. Manmade radioactivity was not found at detectable levels:during 1982 which is in agreement -
with,that found during 1981'and-during the preoperational period.
H. Fish: River The results of' gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis of the edible portions of,three types of fish taken.from.the Chattahoochee River are shown in Table F06-8.- In: addition to cesium-137 which was found at low levels
.in both=the indicator and control ~ samples,' niobium-75'at.close to the limit of' detection was,found in onerindicator sample. The average
. cesium-137 values were about one-half :that found:in 1981 and about the
-samefasiduring the'preoperational period.

I. Sampling and Analysis Deviations--
The sampling and analysis deviations listed in Table 5 were chiefly
~
mechanical problemstsuch as failure of the air or. water samplers.
During the winter months, grazing by deer and rabbits resulted in inadequate forage at established forage sampling plots thus samples were taken.at alternate locations on some occasions. Several TLDs were missing, but the number was not excessive compared with prior
- years. No analysis deviations were noted.

B. Interlaboratory Comparison Program j During 1982, the University of Georgia Center for Applied Isotope
. Studies was a participant in the EPA Crosscheck Program. The U. Ga.
EPA Program code designation is'EA.
V .~ Data Trends and Conclusion Review of the analysis data against the.1981.and the preoperational
- periods revealed.no trends-indicating changes in radioactivity levels in the environs of'the Farley Nuclear Plant as the result of its operation.
This is supported by the low levels of radioactivity measured in plant efflttents discharged to- the environment, as reported in .the semi-annual; radioactive effluent release' reports for 1982.

! Based on information supplied in this report, there is no significant i evidence to indicate any increase'in airborne ~or. waterborne environmental radioactivity _as the result of plant operations.1 ,

ATTACHMENT 1-LAND USE SURVEY FOR RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
-JOSEPH M.'FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT
' JUNE 14-16,~1982 This-Land Use Survey was performed to meet the requirements of the Farley Units-1 and 2 Technical' Specifications, Section 3.12.2 and 4.12.2.
A. Houston County, Alabama.
.Mr. A. M.' Mathews, Houston County Extension Agent, was contacted for the purpose of reviewing'known locations of milk animals.in the county and discussien of'any changes since the last milk animal
~
. survey-(December, 1981). lHr. Mathews stated that the Hollis Dairy.
'(west of Dothan) was no longer producing milk and should be dropped from the list shown on Figure 1. ;He said that the Silcox Dairy was the closest to the plant and that.he was not aware.of'any indivi-dually ~ owned milk animals in the county.
A house-to-house canvas of residents-along Alabama 95-for a distance
~of about three miles from the plant entrance and for about a mile east on Houston. County 42: revealed no, milk animals. Individuals at the following. residences were questioned: M. R. Culpepper, Walter Whatley, Tommy Repas and Manford Miller.
~
Simultaneous with the house-to-house milk animal canvas,'the nearest l residence in each of the meteorological ~ sectors was identified.
B. Early County, Georgia
'_ Mr. Wayne Tankersley. Early-County Extension Agent, was. contacted:
{ to determine if any milk animals were-currently present"in the-
- county. lHe stated that to his knowledge'there were no milk cows or goats in-Early County.
A house-to-house canvas of residents in the area across the Chatta-O .hoochee River. east of the plant was negative with respect to-the presence of~ milk animals. Individuals at the following residences t
were questioned: Henry Perry, Jim Donaldson, F. D.~ Freeman..and
. Ruth Kulvi.
- Simultaneous'with the house-to-house milk animal canvas, the nearest.
Eresidence in each meteorological sector was identified.'
