i l III. Procedures A. Changes The year 1976 was marked by a number of changes-in the monitoring program.
As of January 1, 1976,-NSP shifted laboratory responsi-I bility for the radiation environmental program from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) to NALCO ES. In order to determine the comparability of results obtained by the two l
- laboratories, a number of split samples collected in late 1975 l were analyzed by both laboratories. There were a number of
! apparently large -differences in the results obtained by the two laboratories. This prompted NSP to hire an independent consultant
- to determine the reasons for: these differences.- - These findings
! are published elsewhere (Barber 1976) and are reviewed briefly in i
Section IV. A of this report.
Secondly, NSP requested that all gamma analyses monitor the activities of.four selected isotopes, zirconium-95, cesium-137,
~
l ,
cerium-144, and potassium-40. The first three were' selected 1
i because each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission l'
products ten days after reactor shutdown whereas each usually represents only an extremely small percentage of the activity of I fallout from thermonuclear testing ten days af ter explosion.
- i r- In addition, the half-life of each is sufficiently long that errors are not introduced by delays in analysis. Potassium-40 was chosen as a calibration. monitor and should not be consided a-radiological' impact indicator.

!' t Thirdly, during the year 1976 a major change in the technical specifications took effect. Northern States Power
- Company, Nuclear Support Services Department, received approval 1
from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for an amendment to i the technical specifications to the operating license dated 20 May 1976. This amendment changes the Radiation Environmental 4
Monitoring Program to conform with the indicator-control concept l' suggested by NRC guidelines. The revised program is believed to constitute an improved means of assessing the performance of the
- plant with respect to the goal of keeping population exposure as i low as practical. The prechange.and postchange programs are dis-
- cussed in the following two sections. Their important features 4
are summarized in Tables 1 to 4.
l B. The Prechange Program
- The locations used in the prechange program are listed in Table 1. The sampling and analysis schedule is summarized in Table 2.
The program monitored ambient radiation' levels using CaF2 :Mn thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) and film badges.
[- Fourteen locations were monitored by each. The sensors were col-lected and measured every -four: weeks.
3 Airborne particulates were collected.on membrane filters by continuous. pumping at eight locations. Airborne iodine was 3
collected by continuous pumping through carbon-impregnated filters.
4 All filters were collected and counted weekly. The particulate-
! fi filters were analyzed for gross beta-activity. The carbon-impreg-E III-2
NALCD CNVIMCNMONTAL OClONCCO nated filters were analyzed for iodine-131 by gamma spectrometry.
A monthly composite of all particulate filters was gamma-scanned on a Ge(Li) detector.
Precipitation was collected monthly at two locations and analyzed for tritium (by liquid scintillation counting),
strontium-90, iodine-131 (by gamma spectrometry), and other gamma-emitting isotopes.
Milk samples were collected quarterly from eight farms five or more miles from the plant site and monthly from four .
farms near the plant. They were analyzed for iodine-131.and stron-tium-90 by highly sensitive ion-exchange resin techniques and beta counting. Each sample was also gamma-scanned (NaI). During the grazing season (beginning May 30), weekly samples were collect-ed at the four nearest farms and analyzed for iodine-131.
The terrestrial environment was also monitored by collections of well water, edible cultivated crops, small game animals, natural (field) vegetation, and topsoil. As indicated l
in_ Table 2, each sample was analyzed for one or more of the
! following: gross beta activity, tritium and gamma-emitting l
isotopes. In some samples iodine-131 was determinted by gamma-scanning promptly after arrival in the laboratory.
The aquatic environment was monitored by campling of 3
river water, lake water, fish, clams, plankton or algae or
., aquatic insects, aquatic vegetation, bottom sediment, and topsoil i i; e
from fields irrigated with water taken~from the Mississippi River downstream of the plant. As indicated in Table 2, each sample III-3
NALCO ONVIRONMONTAL OCl3NCCO was analyzed for one or more of the followings gross beta -
activity, tritium, strontium-90 and gamma-emitting isotopes.
C. The Postchange Program The locations used in the postchange program are listed in Table 3. The sampling and analysis schedule is summarized in Table 4.
The postchange program differed from the prechange program in several respects. The locations monitored were revised to conform with the indicator-control concept. Table 4 indicates which locations are the control locations. There were also changes in parameter.:. sampled, analyses made, and collection i
frequencies. Parameters dropped were river water at the St. Paul intake, lakewater at local lakes, precipitation, and film badges.
Parameters added were drinking wat er (Minneapolis water supply),
shoreline sediment, and leafy green vegetables. Some gross beta analyses were discontinued, while some analyses for strontium-89 and -90 were added. Some quarterly collections were changed to semi-annual. Milk collections became monthly at five locations.
Samples from the control farm (M-10B, Kirchenbauer) and the highest x/O farm -(M-18B,Olson)were analyzed for iodine-131, strontium-89 strontium-90, and gamma-emitting isotopes. Other milk samples were analyzed only for iodine-131. The method of airborne iodinc aollection was altered: charcoal-filled cartridges
, replaced carban impregnated filters. Additional differences are detailed in Table 4. The analysis techniques were the same as those used in the prechange program.

D. Changeover Date For- the sake of continuity and to permit valid com-parisons with environmental data in previous semi-annual programs, the nominal changeover date from the prechange program to the postchange program was 1 July 1976. This applied to all parameters sampled with the following exceptions:
- 1. Samplings of air particulates and airborne iodine continued at the prechange locations until 31 August 1976 (to permit time for installation of the new pumping stations) .
m
- 2. The exposure of TLD's at the prechange locations continued until 6 July 1976 (to permit conclusion of a scheduled monthly sampling period). The quarterly sampling period required under the postchange program began 6 July 1976 at the postchange 1ccations.
3 .' Film badge uposure continued until 4 July 1976
-(to permit conclusion of a scheduled sampling. period) .
- 4. The first collection of shoreline sediment (an added semi-annual parameter) was on 22 June 1976.

, NALCD ENVIRONMENTAL DCIENC00 IV. Results and Discussion '
All of the scheduled collections and analyses were made except those listed in Table 5.
Because of the midyear program change, data for the year 1976 are summarized in two separate tables, 6 and 7. Table 7 presents results for the postchange program in the format recommended by NRC Regulatory Guide 4.8. For each type of analysis of each sampled medium, this table lists the mean and range for all indicator locations and for all control locations. The location with the highest mean and results for this location are also shown.
Results for the prechange program are presented in Table 6 in a slightly modified format. Since the prechange program was not based on the indicator-control concept, all locations have been treated as indicators in Table 6.. Furthermore, in place of control location data, mean values of data obtained in the comparable period (January to June) of the preceding year are presented wherever possible.
A. Prechange Period In this section an assessment of the environmental impact of the plant during the prechange period is made by two types of comparisons. Data for the 1976 prochange period are compared with data for January to June 1975. As reported in . the semi-annual op-
.A erating report for that period (Northern States Power Co. 1975),
none of the media sampled then showed any clevated radioactivity attributable to plant operation (with the- possible exception of
. milk from the nearest farms).. Secondly,_where possible, comparisons IV-1 i
NALCO CNVIRGNMCNTAL OCICNCCO are made between locations less likely to be affected by plant operation and those more likely to be affected; e.g., upstream or distant locations are compared with downstream or nearby locations.
In comparing 1976 and 1975 data, the change in analytical laboratories on 1 January 1976 must be kept in mind. Analyses of split samples by both laboratories yielded significant differences in some cases. Activities measured by NALCO ES were typically in the range 0.25 to 2 times activities measured by MDH. An inde-pendent consultant (Barber 1976) attributed these differences to difficulties inherent in the measurement of the extremely low activities typical of environmental samples. The consultant noted that the expectations of error in environmental sample analysis are "a factor of two to.three for specific nuclide analyses" and "a factor of two to five for gross beta particle analyses." He cited differences in sample thickness and in cali-bration nuclides as partially responsible for differences in the results obtained by the two laboratories. With regard to gross beta activity, he concluded that the measuring techniques employed by NALCO ES were such as to-yield results which " approximate more closely the actual concentrations of gross beta activity in envi-ronmental samples."
The data in Table 6 indicate that 1976 mean gross beta activities ranged from 0.19-to 0.55 times-1975 activities-in the following media: natural vegetation, topsoil, aquatic insects, IV-2 1
NALCO CNVIOGNMONTAL OClONCOO aquatic vegetation, and bottom sediments. In split-sample analyses of the same media, NALCO ES results were typically 0.18 to 0.56 times MDH results. In well water, river water, and lake water, 1976 mean gross beta activities were 0.29-to 0.68 times 1975 activities. In the split-sample analyses of these media, NALCO ES results were typically 0.29 to 0.77 times MDH results. No split-sample analyses were made of air particulate filters, precipita-tion, or fish, but .the.1976 results for _ these media were all substantially lower than the 1975 results, 0.41, 0.05, and 0.36 times the 1975 results respectively. Thus, comparison of 1976 with 1975 gross beta data indicates no effects attributable to plant operation in the prechange period.
Split-sample comparisons for cesium-137 and tritium are also available. In split-sample analyses of milk, NALCO ES results were typically 1.3 to 3.3 times larger than MDH res'ults.
In 1976 the mean activity of cesium-137 in milk was 0.27 times that reported in 1975. This comparison indicates a substantially reduced level of cesium-137 in milk in 1976. In natural vegeta-tion, split-sample analyses for cesium-137 yielded NALCO ES results 0.45 to 2.0 times MDH results. The 1976 result, 2.3 times the 1975 average, is thus not indicative of any significant change in cesium-137 activity in natural vegetation. Split-
', sample analyses of lake and well water for tritium yielded NALCO
, ES results 0.45 to 1.4 times MDH results. The 1976 results for precipitation and lake, well, and river water ranged from 0.33 to 0.91 time's 1975 results,-again indicative of no significant IV-3
1 NALCO CNVI?ONMCNTAL OClGNCOO
, s change in activity levels.
Although split-sample comparisons are not available for other measurements, in all other cases where similar analyses were performed in both years, measured 1976 activities were approximately equal to or lower than measured 1975 activities.
For example, in both periods airborne iodine-131 levels were <0.02 pCi/m3 In milk, iodine-131 activities were all <0.25 pCi/l in 1976, in agreement with levels reported for distant farms in 1975.
Strontium-90 in milk averaged 6.1 pCi/l in 1976 and 6.9 pCi/l in 1975. Film badge results for the two periods were equivalent.
Finally, the 1976 TLD measurements averaged 4.3 mrem /28 days while those in 1975 averaged 4.2 mrem /28 days.
Thus, none of the activities observed in the prechange program in 1976 indicate any significant increase over the back-ground-level activities reported for January to June 1975.
The conclusion that there was no significant plant effect on the environment during January to June 1976 is rein-forced by comparison of nearby or downstream locations with distant or upstream locations. In several cases the highest activities were measured at the distant locations. In all other
, cases except one the differences were approximately equal to the counting error or the results: to be compared were below detection limits. The one exception was gross beta activity in clams collected in May 1976 at the Mississippi River upstream and i
downstream sites. Flesh of the downstream sample had a gross beta activity of 0.88 1 0.06 pCi/g wet weight, while the activity of the upstream sample was 0.21 i 0.05 pCi/g wet weight.
IV-4
NALCD ONVIRONMONTAL OCIONCOO e
However, this difference does not necessarily indicate.a plant effect. In preoperational studies at the Monticello and Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plants, gross beta activities are report-ed for seven clam samples (Minnesota Department of Health 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973). The average reported activity was 10.5 pCi/g wet weight and the highest activity was approximately eight times the lowest. The large apparent drop between the MDH average and the NALCO ES 1976 results may not be a real drop since it could arise from a difference in measuring techniques.
However, the factor eight ratio of-MDH results may be-taken as a valid indication of the inherent variability of radiciosotope concentrations in clams exposed to background sour N only.
Thus, the 1976 factor four ratio between downstream and upstream samples does not necessarily indicate a plant effect. Further-more, gamma scans of the two May 1976 samples yielded activities of zirconium-95, cesium-137, and cerium-144 below detectable limits.
In summary, there was no indication of a radiological impact ~of the' plant on its environment during the prechange program approximately covering the period January to June 1976.
B. Postchange Period The-environmental-. impact.of the plant in the postchange period may be assessed by comparing results at indicator and control locations.
1 i Examination'of Table:7 shows no significant differences between indicator and control locations. .In many cases mean IV-5 l

values were higher at control locations. This occurred for TLD readings; for strontium-90 in milk and algae; for cesium-137 in
]
milk, small game flesh, natural vegetation, and aquatic vegetations and for zirconium-95 in bottom sediment. In some cases mean values
- were higher at indicator locations. In all such cases, however, the differences were not significant in comparison with typical 3 errors encountered in such measurements. For example, for air 1 particulates, gross-beta analyses yielded an average of 0.093
) pCi/m3 at indicator locations and an average of 0.088 pCi/m3 at l control locations. The difference is eqhal to the typical counting error of an individual analysis. Similarly, for well water, the indicator average for tritium, 470 pCi/1, differs from the control average, 370 pCi/1, by the typical-counting error. Finally, in many cases both indicator and control results are less than lower limits of detection.
Some of the individual analyses in the post-change pro-gram yielded results elevated ~ above typical levels. Elevated iodine-131 results were observed in airborne iodine at M-1B
{ (control) on 12, 19, and 26 October and on:2 November 1976 and at d
M-5B and M-7B (indicators) on 26 October and 2 November 1976.
! Also, elevated iodine-131 levels were observed in milk samples collected 19 October 1976 at M-10B, the Kirchenbauer farm (control) '
and at M-24B:and M-25B, the Nelson and Shovelain farms = (indicators) .
In the same time period, substantial increases in gross beta activ-
, ity were observed i'n air particulates collected at both indicator and control stations. . Since in all of the above cases - the control IV-6
