1.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION l

1.1 Definition and Basis i

1.1.1 Definition 1

Radiological environmental monitoring is the measurement of radioactivity in samples collected from the atmospheric, aquatic and terrestrial environment around the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP). Monitoring radioactivity in effluent streams at or prior to the point of discharge to the environment is not part of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring l

Program (REMP).

l 1.1.2 Basis l

l The REMP is part of the PBNP Radiological Effluent and Materials l

Control and Accountability Program (REMCAP). The REMP is designed l

to fulfill the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1302, PBNP GDC 17, GDC 64 l

of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50, and Sections IV.B.2 and IV.B.3 of l

Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.

l l

No significant radionuclide concentrations of plant origin are S

I expected in the plant environs because radioactivity in plant (O

l effluent is continuously monitored to ensure that releases are well I

below levels which are considered safe upper limits. The REMP is l

conducted to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards, to l

assess the radiological environmental impact of PBNP operations, l

and to monitor the efficacy of inplant effluent controls. The l

REMP, as outlined in Tables 2-2 through 2-5, is designed to l

provide sufficient sample types and locations to detect and to l

evaluate changes in environmental radioactivity.

l l

Radioactivity is released in liquid and gaseous effluents. Air samplers and l

thermoluminescent dosimeters placed at various locations provide means of l

detecting changes in environmental radioactivity as a result of plant l

releases to the atmosphere. Because the land area around PBNP is used l

primarily for farming and dairy operations, sampling of vegetation is I

conducted to detect changes in radiological conditions at the base of the l

food chain. Sampling of area-produced milk is conducted because dairy l

farming is a major industry in the area.

l l

Water, periphyton, and fish are analyzed to monitor radionuclide levels in l

Lake Michigan in the vicinity of PBNP. Periphyton, attached algae, along I

with lake water samples, provide a means of detecting changes which may o

I have a potential impact on the radionuclide concentrations in Lake

(

l Michigan fish. Because of the migratory behavior of fish, fish sampling is l

of minimal value for determining radiological impact specifically related to Page 1 of 35 INFORMATION USE

I POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL Ag l

the operation of the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. However, fish sampling is l

carried out as a conservative measure with emphasis on species which are l

of intermediate trophic level and which exhibit minimal migration in order l

to monitor the status of radioactivity in fish.

I l

Vegetation, algae, and fish sampling frequencies are qualified on an "as l

l available" basis recognizing that certain biological samples may i

l occasionally be unavailable due to environmental conditions.

1.2 Responsibilities for Procram Implementation 1.2.1 Industry and Regulatory Services Section Functions The manager and the staff of the Industry and Regulatory Services Section (IRSS) provide the PBNP manager with technical, regulatory, licensing and administrative support necessary for the implementation of the program. The IRSS administrative functions relating to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program fall into the six broad areas outlined

below,

a. Program scope AQ The scope of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is determined by IRSS. Based on the scope, IRSS prepares the program manual as necessary to conform to changes in program procedures and scope. IRSS monitors the program effectiveness and compliance with Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS) and the procedures and directives in this manual. In order to verify l

compliance with RETS, IRSS or the Quality Assurance Section l

arranges for program audits and audits of the analytical contractor.

b. Record keeping Monthly results of contractor analyses are sent to both PBNP and IRSS. However, the analytical results maintained by IRSS are regarded as the official results. These records are kept for the lifetime of the plant.

c. Data monitoring The cognizant IRSS engineer reviews and interprets all program analytical results on a monthly basis as they are reported. Trends, if any, are noted. Any resulting corrections, modifications and additions to the data are made by the cognizant IRSS engineer. Inconsistencies are investigated by the cognizant IRSS engineer with the cooperation of PBNP and contractor personnel, as required. Unusual results as evidenced by radioactivity levels exceeding IRSS administrative notification levels are investigated in the same manner, Results of the l

investigation will be conveyed to the Manager - PBNP. IRSS will promptly inform PBNP of any sample exceeding Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulatory notification levels and both IRSS and PBNP will initiate an investigation. A formal report shall be provided l

to the Manager-PBNP by IRSS upon completion of the investigation.

d. Data summary Results from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program shall l

be summarized annually for inclusion in the PBNP Annual Monitoring l

Report. This summary advises the Manager - PBNP of the radiological status of the environment in the vicinity of PBNP. The (o) summary shall include the numbers and types of samples as well as the i

averages, statistical confidence limits and the ranges of analytical results. Methods used in summarizing data are at the discretion of

IRSS,

e. Contractor communications Communication with the contractor regarding data, analytical procedures, lower limits of detection, notification levels and contractual matters are normally conducted by IRSS. Communication regarding sample shipment may be done by either PBNP or IRSS as appropriate.

f. Reportable items

1. IRSS shall generate all technically-specified reports related to the operation of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program.

Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL U,m 1.3 Ouality Assurance /Ouality Control Quality assurance considerations are an integral part of Wisconsin Electric's Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The program involves the interaction of the Industry and Regulatory Services Section (IRSS), Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Wisconsin Electric's Quality Assurance Section (QAS) and Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental Services (TBEES).

The TBEES quality assurance and quality control program is described in the TBEES Quality Assurance Program Manual and the TBEES Quality Control Procedures l

Manual. Copies of these manuals may be reviewed by responsible IRSS and QAS l

personnel prior to audits. The contractor is audited periodically by Wisconsin l

Electric personnel. The quality '

Tance portion of the audit is performed by QAS and the technical portion of the audit is performed by IRSS. If circumstances l

preclude an audit by IRSS/QAS personnel within the allotted time interval, the results l

of an audit by another qualified QA group is acceptable. As part of its quality l

control program, TBEES participates in an environmental crosscheck program.

Quality control for the PBNP portion of the Radiological En '7nmental Monitoring Program is achieved by following the procedures contained in this manual. Health Physics technologists (HPTs) collect, package and ship environmental samples under pg the supervision of Health Physics supervisors and the General Supervisor - Health t/

Physics. They are advised by the Specialist - Nuclear Health Physics who has immediate responsibility for the overall technical operation of the environmental sampling functions. The HPTs receive classroom training as well as on-the-job training in carrying out these procedures.

An audit of the PBNP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program and its l

results shall be completed periodically as a means of monitoring program j

effectiveness and assuring compliance with program directives. The audit shall be j

performed by either IRSS personnel, QAS or a qualified consulting firm.

1.4 Program Revisions This manual describes the current scope of the PBNP Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. The program and the manual are maintained by IRSS, consiste,t w:tb Technical Specification commitments. Program items or procedures periodically may be updated or changed, consistent with good radiologicNiy monitoring practices, either to reflect new conditions or to improve program effectiveness. Technical and program features described in this manual may be changed at the discretion of IRSS with the concurrence of the PBNP Managers' Supervisory Staff.

N) 2.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING 2.1 Procram Overview 2.1.1 Purpose No significant or unexpected radionuclide concentrations of plant origin are expected because each normal effluent pathway at PBNP is monitored at or before the release point. However, the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is conducted to verify that plant operations produce no significant radiological impact on the environment and to demonstrate compliance with applicable standards.

2.1.2 Samples Samples for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are l

obtained from the aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environment. The j

sample types represent key indicators or critical pathways identified by applying sound radiological principles to the PBNP environment.

Page 7 of 35 INFORMATION USE l

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL 2.1.3 Monitoring sensitivity The effectiveness of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program in fulfilling its purpose depends upon the ability to accurately determine the nature and origins of fluctuations in low levels of environmental radioactivity. This requires a high degree of sensitivity so that it is possible to correctly discriminate between fluctuations in background radiation levels and levels of radioactivity that may be attributable to the operation of PBNP. Therefore, personnel actively participating in the monitoring program should make every effort to minimize the possibility of contaminating environmental samples and to obtain samples of the appropriate size.

I 2.2 Procram Parameters 1

2.2.1 Contamination avoidance Contamination prevents the accurate quantification of environmental radioactivity and the correct differentiation between fluctuating background radioactivity and levels of radioactivity attributable to the operation of PBNP. Therefore, it is necessary that all personnel associated with collecting and handling radiological environmental samples take the appropriate precautions to minimize the possibility of contaminating the samples. Some of the precautions that should be taken and which will

()

help to minimize contamination are listed below:

a. Equipment which has been on the controlled side, even if released clean, should not be used in conjunction with radiological environmental monitoring;

b. Store sampling equipment in radiologically clean areas only;

c. Store radiological environmental samples only in radiologically clean areas when samples cannot be shipped to the contractor on the same day they are collected;

d. Treat each sample as a possible source of contamination for other samples so as to minimize the possibility of cross-contamination;

e. Radiological environmental monitoring equipment should be repaired in clean-side shops;

f. Contamination avoidance for environmental TLDs is covered in Section 2.4.2; and

g. Do not enter the controlled zone prior to leaving to collect environmental samples.

POIN) JEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL o(d 2.2.2 Sample size Sample size affects the sensitivity achievable in quantifying low levels of environmental radioactivity. Therefore, sampling personnel must attempt to attain the quantities of sample specified in Table 2-1. When a range is given, every effort should be made to obtain a quantity at the upper part of the range.

2.2.3 Lower limit of detection The sensitivity required for a specific analysis of an environmental sample is defined in terms of the lower limit of detection (LLD). The LLD is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count, above system background, that will be detected with a 95%

probability and have only a 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a real signal. Mathematically, the LLD is defined by the formula 4.66 S3 E x V x 2.22 x Y x EXP(-1AT)

collection period, and the time of counting.

Page 9 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL pd Typical values of E, V, Y, and AT are used to calculate the LLD. As def~ ed, the LLD is an a priori limit representing the capability of a m

measuring system and not an a posteriori limit for a particular measurement.

The required analysis for each environmental sample and the highest acceptable LLD associated with each analysis are listed in Table 2-2.

Whenever LLD values lower than those specified in Table 2-2 are reasonably achievable, the analytical contractor for the radiological environmental samples will do so. When the LLDs listed in Table 2-2 are not achieved, a description of the factors contributing to the higher LLD l

shall be reported in the next PBNP Annual Monitoring Report.

2.2.4 Notification levels The Notification level (NL) is that measured quantity of radioactivity in l

an environmental sample which, when exceeded, requires a notification of such an occurrence be made to the appropriate party. Regulatory and administrative notification levels are listed in Table 2-2.

a. Regulatory notification levels O

C/

l The regulatory notification levels listed in Table 2-2 represent the concentration levels at which NRC notification is required. If a measured level of radioactivity in any radiological environmental monitoring program sample exceeds the regulatory notification level listed in Table 2-2, resampling and/or reanalysis for confirmation shall be completed within 30 days of the determination of the anomalous result. If the confirmed measured level of radioactivity remains above the notification level, a written report shall be submitted to the NRC.

If more than one of the radionuclides listed in Table 2-2 are detected in any environmental medium, a weighted sum calculation shall be performed if the measured concentration of a detected radionuclide is greater than 25% of the notification levels. For those radionuclides with LLDs in excess of 25% of the notification level, a weighted sum calculation needs to be performed only if the reported value exceeds the LLD Radionuclide concentration levels, called Weighted Sum Action I2vels, which trigger a weighted sum calculation are listed in Table 2-2.

k Page 10 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL The weighted sum is calculated as follows:

concentration (1) concentration (2)

+... = weighted sum notification level (1) notification level (2)

If the calculated weighted sum is equal to or greater than 1, resampling and/or reanalysis for conGrmation shall be completed within 30 days of the determination of the anomalous result. If the confirmed calculated weighted sum remains equal to or greater than 1, a written report shall be submitted to the NRC. This calculation requirement and report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity was not the result of plant effluents.

b. Administrative notification levels The IRSS administrative notification levels are the concentration levels at which the contracted analytical laboratory promptly notifies the i

cognizant IRSS engineer by phone, followed by a formal written communication. The IRSS administrative notification levels are set lower than the NRC regulatory notification levels and lower than, or equal to, the weighted sum action levels so that the nature and origin y) of the increased level of environmental radioactivity may be expeditiously ascertained and corrective actions taken if required.

2.2.5 Sampling locations A list of sampling locations and the corresponding location codes appear in Table 2-3. The locations also are shown in Figures 2-la and 2-lb. It is conceivable that samples may become unavailable from specified sample locations. If this were to occur, new locations for obtaining replacement samples shall be identified and added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. If milk or vegetation samples become unavailable from the specified sampling locations, new sampling locations will be identified within 30 days. The specific locations where samples were unavailable may be deleted from the monitoring program. A formal, written reason for the new site and its location shall be transmitted to the cognizant IRSS engineer who will make the appropriate changes to the Environmental Manual. Any significant changes in existing sampling i

location and the criteria for the change shall be reported in the Annual Monitoring Report for the period in which the change occurred.

Additional sampling locations may be designated if deemed necessary by cognizant company personnel. Figures and tables in this manual shall be o

revised to reflect the changes.

U Page 11 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL nV 2.2.6 Sampling media and frequency l

The sampling frequency for the environmental media required by the 1

l PBNP REMP is found in Table 2-4. In addition to samples required by l

the former Technical Specifications, the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program also includes the sampling of soil and shoreline sediment. To ensure that all samples are obtained at the appropriate times, j

two different checklists are used. A yearly checklist provides a month-by-month indication of all samples, except air, to be obtained at each sampling location (PBF-4121). This checklist also identifies the schedule for the annual milk survey and provides space for recording the date the samples were shipped offsite for analysis. In addition, a separate checklist is provided for each sampling location to identify all samples, i

including weekly air samples, to be obtained and the collection date (PBF-4075 series). Because the weekly air samples require additional information, a separate checklist is used for each individual air sampling location as shown in PBF-4078.

It is recognized that on occasions samples will be lost or that samples cannot be collected at the specified frequency because of hazardous conditions, seasonable unavailability, automatic sampling equipment c

malfunctions and other legitimate reasons. Reasonable efforts will be

(

made to recover lost or missed samples if warranted and appropriate. If samples are not obtained at the indicated frequency or location, the reasons or explanations for deviations from the sampling frequency specified in Table 2-4 shall be logged at PBNP and shall be conveyed formally in writing to the cognizant IRSS engineer using the appropriate form (Figure 2-2). The cognizant engineer will evaluate the sampling problem to determine whether it constitutes a reportable deviation from the l

requirements in Table 2-4. If it does, a description of the reasons for not conducting the sampling as specified and, when appropriate, plans for I

preventing a recurrence, shall be identified in the next Annual Monitoring Report by the cognizant IRSS engineer.

2.2.7 Sample labeling All samples must be properly labeled to ensure that the necessary information is conveyed to the analytical contractor and that the results are associated with the correct geographical location. Each label (PBF-4026) must contain the following:

a. Sample type;

(]

b. Sample location from Table 2-3; V

c. Date and time (as appropriate) collected; Page 12 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL 3

d. Air samples must show the total volume in m ; volumes for water and milk are in gallons; vegetation, sediment, soil, and algae are indicated as s1000 grams; and fish 21000 grams;

e. Analyses for routine samples are indicated as "per contract." For special samples, the Health Physics manager or the Cognizant Specialist - Nuclear Health Physics will designate the analyses required; and f.

Name of person collecting the sample.

A permanent or indelible ink type felt-tip marker shall be used.

A separate sample label is needed for each sample type and location.

Labels are securely attached to each sample container. In addition to sample labels, other identifying markings may be placed on sample i

containers as appropriate.

2.2.8 Sample shipping All environmental samples are shipped to a contractor for analysis. The samples shall be packaged and shipped in such a way as to minimize the h,o possibility of cross-contamination, loss, spoilage and leakage. Each sample shipment shall have a typed cover letter and, when appropriate, a contractor data collection sheet. Included in the letter shall be the same information required for the sample labels as well as the specific analyses required. The original cover letter and data collection sheet shall be sent to the contractor under separate cover; one copy of each is to be used as a packing list and a copy of each shall be kept in the appropriate PBNP file.

2.2.9 Sample analyses and frequency l

The PBNP REMP samples shall be analyzed for designated parameters at l

the frequency listed in Table 2-5. Gamma isotopic analysis means the l

identification and quantification of gamma-emitting radionuclides that may l

be attributable to effluents from PBNP. Typically, this entails the l

scanning of the spectrum from 80 to 2048 kev and decay correcting l

identified radionuclides to the time of collection. The analysis specifically I

includes, but is not limited to, Mn-54, Fe-59, Zn-65, Co-58/60, Zr-Nb-95, l

Ru-103, I-131, Cs-134/137, Ba-La-140, and Ce-141/144.

l This laboratory, formerly named Hazleton Environmental Sciences Corporation, performs the analyses in such a manner as to attain the l

desired LLDs. The contracted laboratory participates in an inter-l laboratory comparison crosscheck program.

The contractor is responsible for providing prompt notification to IRSS regarding any samples found to exceed the IRSS administrative notification levels as identified in Table 2-2.

2.3 Assistance to the State of Wisconsin v'

As a courtesy and convenience, PBNP personnel obtain certain environmental samples for the Section of Radiation Protection, Department of Health and Social Services of the State of Wisconsin as listed in Table 2-6. A checklist is used as shown in PBF-4075 series. In addition, a State of Wisconsin air sampling data sheet is submitted with each sample obtained at Wisconsin air sampling locations serviced by PBNP personnel.

State of Wisconsin precipitation samples collected twice a month (or as available) require a state sample tag to be placed in a box with the quart cubitainer. State supplied labels for air particulate filters requice start and stop time, date and beginning and ending volume. Fish sent to the state identify only the quarter and the year using a PBNP label (PBF-4026). The monthly lake water composite is picked up by state personnel and therefore reqaires only that the date and location be written on the box for the cubitainer. The state provides a sample tag for the quarterly lake water sample.

Radiation Protection Laboratory Room 111 State Laboratory of Hygiene 465 Henry Mall Madison, Wisconsin 53706 2.4 Specification of Sampline Procedures General radiologicd environmental sampling procedures follow the directives presented in Sections 2.1 and 2.2. Specific information for handling individual sample types follow.

i 2.4.1 Vegetation Vegetation samples consist of green, growing grasses and weeds and are obtained three times per year, as available, from specified locations. New growth, not dead vegetation, should be used because these samples are i

indicators of recent atmospheric deposition. Use a scissors or other sharp cutting tool to cut the grasses and weeds off as close to the ground as p) possible. Do not include plant roots and take care not to contaminate the

(_

sample with soil. Total sample collected should exceed 500 grams and ideally should be 1000 grams. Place entire sample in a plastic bag, tape the bag shut, and label the bag as described in Section 2.2.7.

2.4.2 Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs)

TLDs capable of multiple, independent measurements of the same exposure are posted at the twenty-seven (27) locations specified in Table 2-4 and are changed quarterly. The utmost care in handling is required to minimize unnecessary exposure during transit, storage and posting because the TLDs begin recording all radiation from the moment they are annealed (heated to rezero) at the contractor's laboratory.

Packages of TLDs in transit should be marked "DO NOT X-RAY."

A transportation control (E-TC) snall accompany the new batch in transit from the contractor's laboratory to the plant. The control shall accompany the batch during brief storage and subsequent posting. The same control shall accompany the "old" or exposed batch on its way back to the contractor. Therefore, each control represents the sum of approximately half the in-transit exposure of the two batches. This control system is able to identify any unusual in-transit exposure.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL 0%

V Environmental TLDs should never be brought into the plant controlled zone or any other area with elevated radiation, but may be stored for brief periods in a shielded enclosure in the Extension Building or other low background area, such as the basement of the Energy Center or the Site Boundary Control Center. The contractor is to time shipments to coincide as closely as possible with the beginning of a calendar quarter. TLDs should be shipped back to the contractor immediately or within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months of removal. The contractor is instructed to process the samples immediately upon receipt. The contractor shall report removal data and cumulative readings in mR for all locations and control, correct for in-transit exposure and express results in net mR/7 days. Labels of the exposed set for shipment to contractor should show both posting and removal dates.

2.4.3 Lake water i

Lake water samples are obtained monthly at specified locations. As a special case, the water sample at the discharge flume is composited weekly for monthly analysis. The contractor is responsible for the compositing for quarterly analyses. Collect approximately 8000 ml of lake water in the l

required number of cubitainers, or similar containers, at each location and label as directed in Section 2.2.7.

Lake water is collected at the request of the state of Wisconsin. These samples are collected, labeled, and forwarded to the appropriate agency.

2.4.4 Well water Well water samples are obtained quarterly from the single onsite well.

Collect approximately 8000 ml of well water using the required number of cubitainers. Label as directed in Section 2.2.7.

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT I MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL OV 2.4.5 Air

a. Sample collection Air filters are changed weekly at specified locations. Take precautions to avoid loss of collected material and to avoid contamination when handling filters. Washing hands before leaving the plant to change filters is a recommended practice.

Both particulate filters and charcoal cartridges are employed at each sampling location. Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity after waiting for at least 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months to allow for the decay of short-lived radon and thoron daughter products. The contractor makes quarterly composites of the weekly particulate samples for gamma isotopic analyses.

I A regulated pump (Eber ine Model RAS-1 or equivalent) is used at each air sampling locaticn. Because of the automatic flow regulation, rotameter readings at the beginning and ending of the sampling perud should be nearly identical Substantial differences in readings usually require some investigation to determine the cause. The rotameters e

attached to the pumps are calibrated in liters per minute. When new d

filters are installed, flow rate should be about 28-30 lpm. Flow rates 1

less than 261pm or greater than 321pm require that the pump regulator be readjusted. The correct flow rate is determined by multiplying the rotameter reading by the correction factor indicated on the calibration sticker affixed to the rotameter.

Some pumps are equipped with an elapsed time meter which reads in hours. Form PBF-4078 is used for recording pertinent air sampling data for each location. At a normal filter change, the following procedure will apply:

1. Record "date off" and " time off."

2. Record rotameter reading for end of period (R )-

2

3. Turn off pump, if necessary, and record hour meter reading or actual time for end of period (t )-

2

4. Before removing the filter, label the envelope as directed in Section 2.2.7. Also enter any other pertinent information at this time. Always write data on the envelope before the particulate filter is in the envelope.

5. Remove particulate filter being careful to handle filter only by edges, place in envelope.

6. Remove charcoal cartridge, place in plastic bag, and label as directed in Section 2.2.7.

j

7. Install new charcoal cartridge and particulate filter being sure to check the charcoal cartridge for breaks and the particulate filter for holes in the filter surface. Discard unacceptable filter media.

8. Record "date on."

9. Record hour meter reading or time for beginning of period (t ).

13. Record correction factor as indicated on calibration sticker affixed to rotameter (C).

fb

14. Observe that the starting rotameter reading (R ) is close to the 3

previous ending reading (R ). A substantial difference indicates 2

need for further investigation because the regulator will generally maintain constant flow regardless of filter loading.

15. Calculate total volume for period and enter on data sheet (m ).

3 (This step may be performed at a later time.)

16. Any unusual conditions or observations should be referenced under

(*) and recorded under "* NOTES" at the bottom of the data sheet.

Air samples are collected for the State of Wisconsin at three locations, one of which is co-located with a PBNP air sampling i

site. They are handled in a manner similar to PDNP samples except that no charcoal cartridges are involved. However, state samplers are equipped with volume integrating meters. Therefore, clock time must be recorded in addition to the ending and beginning volumes. Label and forward samples to the State.

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL O(

b. Air sampling system description The air monitoring equipment for the PBNP air sampling program consists of a Regulated Rate Control System. The Regulated Rate Control System is used at PBNP because of its simplicity and reliability. It is designed to minimize both calibration difficulties and the potential for leaks. The regulated rata control system includes a pump, a flow regulator, the appropriate filter holders and a minimum of tubing. Also, it may include an elapsed time meter. In this system, the total volume sampled can be calculated simply and accurately from the elapsed time and the flow rate which is kept constant by the regulator regardless of filter ;oading.

The air samplers are Eberline Model RAS-1 (or equivalent) and have built-in rotameters which read in liters per minute. The systems also include an Eberline WPH-1 (or equivalent) weatherproof housing and an iodine cartridge holder and mounting kit and may include an electric hour meter. Currently, all metallic and rigid plastic tubing and rigid fittings are used in lieu of tygon tubing and quick disconnects. Glass fiber,47 mm diameter. particulate filters capable of collecting 95% of 1 micron diameter particles and iodine impregnated charcoal cartridges (Scott or equivalent) constitute the filter media.

c. Calibration Calibrate the pump rotameter at initial installation and at yearly irmvals thereafter by cennecting a laboratory-quality reference flow meter with NBS traceable calibration to the filter face with the particulate filter and charcoal cartridge in position. Upon completion, a calibration sticker indicating the correction factor is affixed to, or near, the built-in rotameter. The results are recorded on Form PBF-4020.

d. Inspection and maintenance Initially, and at quarterly intervals, not to exceed 16 weeks, thereafter, the assembled system should be checked for leaks by attaching the reference flow meter across the face of the filter holder with the filters in position. Leakage in this configuration is indicated by a higher reading on the built-in rotameter than on the reference flow meter.

Because leakage is indicated by disagreement between the two flow measuring devices, remember to apply the calibration correction factor to the built-in rotameter reading. leak tests are to be recorded on Form PBF-4020. Weekly gross leak checks and quarterly leak tests k

shall be accomplished as indicated in the appropriate PBNP procedure.

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFI' March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL (O

V For normal og ration, the regulators should be adjusted to maintain a true flow rate of 28-30 liters per minute. Adjustments are made by turning the screw marked FLOW ADJUST located on the side of the regulator body: counterclockwise increases flow, clockwise decreases flow. Flow rates should be observed at all filter changes. Flow rates j

less than 261pm or more than 321pm require readjustment of the i

regulator. Particular attention should be paid to flow rate readings with the "old," loaded filter and with new, unused filters in position.

Because of the regulator, the difference in flow should be barely perceptible, perhaps no more than one Ipm. Significant differences in flow rates require further investigation to determine the cause.

i Preventive maintenance shall be performed as indicated in the appropriate PBNP procedure on all environmental air samplers and the results recorded on Form PBF-4020.

e. Pump repair and replacement The pumps can operate for long periods of time with minimal or no maintenance. The vane assembly of the pump is most susceptible to failure, indicated by excessive noise or inability to maintain sufficient o

flow across loaded filters. At least one standby pump should be

()

available for temporary service during the repair period. In the event of motor failures due to causes other than defective connections, complete replacement of the unit may be necessary. All pump repairs should be done in a clean-side shop with clean tools.

2.4.6 Milk Because of iodine decay and protein binding of iodine in aging milk samples, speed is imperative in processing and samples must be kept cool to avoid degradation and spoilage of the samples. Milk samples are obtained monthly in conjunction with the State of Wisconsin Milk Sampling Program from three individual dairy farmers located north, south, and west of the site. Because two of the three sites are co-located, the PBNP pickup is coordinated to coincide with the State arranged schedule. The pickup usually will be the first Wednesday of the month.

p]

L Page 20 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL The following sequence should be followed:

a. After verifying the State milk pickup date with the Manitowoc Public Health Department (Mr. Alan Troullier, phone number 683-4454),

notify Mr. Leon Strutz (755-2060) of the pickup date. This must be done because the Strutz farm (PBNP sampling location E-21) is not a State of Wisconsin sampling site.

b. Because the milk must be kept cool, but not frozen, fill enough cubitainers with water and freeze to be able to put one in each shipping container. Fill the cubitainers with water and freeze the day preceding the pickup.

c. The milk from the Strutz farm (E-21) must be picked up before 0900 because that is the time the Strutz milk is shipped. A late arrival may mean a missed sample. Milk from sites E-11 and E-19 may be picked up any time after the Strutz pickup.

d. Identify yourself and the nature of your business at each milk pickup site. Collect two one-gallon samples from each site, using a funnel if l

necessary. If shipr.ient cannot occur on the collection day, store the q

milk in a clean-side refrigerator overnight. DO NOT FREEZE.

b

e. Complete a PBNP sample tag according to Section 2.2.7 for each gallon sample and place in the box with the sample. Do not seal the box. Place the samples in insulated containers and turn them over to Ready Stores personnel for shipment. ' Make sure that the cover letter and, as appropriate, the contractor data collection sheets are sent according to Section 2.2.8 of this manual.

2.4.7 Algae Filamentous algae are collected from pilings or rocks three times per year, as available, from two locations. The long, grassy, dark green algae can normally be cut with scissors. The shorter, light green algae normally must be scraped from rocks or pilings. When scraping algae, be careful not to include pieces of rock in the sample. The sample can be lightly rinsed in the same medium in which it is growing. This rinse will help rid the sample of pieces of rock and gravel that may have been inadvertently collected with the sample. Because rocks and sediment contain naturally occurring radioactive materials, their inclusion may give false sample results. Collect between 100 and 1000 gm of algae. A sample greater i

than 500 gm is preferred. Place the algae in a wide-mouth poly bottle or pl other appropriate container and label the container as director in Section 2.2.7. The algae must be kept cool to prevent spoilage.

s Page 21 of 35 INFORMATION USE

POINT BEACII NUCLEAR PLANT l MAJOR Revision 12 DRAFT March 13,1996 ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL 2.4.8 Fish Fish are obtained three times per year (March, August and December) as available either from the traveling screens as washed into the fish basket or by other methods as required. For any given sampling period, three fish, or a sufficient number to yield at least 1000 gm of fillets, should be provided.

Place fish in plastic bags and tape and/or tie tightly closed. Fish are stored briefly in a radiologically clean freezer. It may be desirable in warm weather to coordinate milk and fish sampling, thereby allowing simultaneous shipment in insulated containers. Pack fish samples with ice if needed. Label bags as directed in Section 2.2.7, being sure to indicate fish species when possible. Following packaging of fish, remove and discard any fish left in the freezer. This avoids sending fish that are not representative of the sampling period.

Fish are obtained four times per year (March, June, September and December) for the State of Wisconsin. Fish sampling for the State is performed in the same manner as that for the plant. Approximately four fish should be sent to the state at each sampling period.

2.4.9 Soil Soil integrates atmospheric deposition and acts as a reservoir for long-lived radionuclides. Although soil sampling is a poor technique for assessing small incremental releases and for monitoring routine releases, it does provide a means of monitoring long-term trends in atmospheric deposition in the vicinity of PBNP. Therefore, soil samples are obtained two times per year from specified locations.

Clear the vegetation from a 6" x 6" area, being careful to leave the top layer of soil relatively intact. Remove root bound soil by shaking the soil onto the cleared area or into the sample container before discarding the roots. When necessary, it is preferable to leave some roots in the soil rather than to lose the top layer of soil.

Remove the soil to a depth of three inches. If necessary, expand the area, instead of digging deeper, to obtain the required amount of sample. If an area larger than 6" x 6" is used, notify the cognizant IRSS Engineer of the area used. The minimum acceptable quantity is 500 grams. Place the entire soil sample in a 1000 ml plastic bag and seal the bag with tape.

Label the sample as directed in Section 2.2.7.

)

This procedure assumca that the samples are obtained from undisturbed land; land that has not been plowed within approximately the last 25 years.

If the land has been plowed, the soil should be sampled to the plow depth which typically is eight inches. Place the soil in a clean bucket or appropriate size plastic bag, homogenize the soil and place 1000 grams of the well mixed soil sample in a plastic bag and label as described above.

2.4.10 Shoreline Sediment Shoreline sediment consisting of sand and smaller grain size material is sampled two times per year from specified locations. The 1000 gram sample is collected, from beach areas near the water ridge. At each location collect representative samples of sediment types roughly in proportion to their occurrence. For example, at E-06 avoid collecting a 2

sample which consists exclusively of the dark-brown to black sediments l

which occur in layers up to several inches thick. Package the sample in a I

wide-mouth poly bottle or other appropriate container and label as described in Section 2.2.7.

2.5 Milk Survey f-In accordance with PBNP Technical Specifications, the milk sampling program is reviewed annually, including a visual verification of animal grazing in the vicinity of the site boundary, to ensure that sampling locations remain as conservative as practicable. The verification is conducted each summer by cognizant PBNP personnel. Because it is already assumed that milk animals may graze up to the site boundary, it is only necessary to verify that these animals have not moved onto the site. No animal census is required. Upon completion of the visual check, PBNP personnel will notify IRSS in writing. To ensure performance of the annual verification, " milk review" is identified on the sampling checklist, PBF-4121.
