I. INTRODUCTION The preoperational radiological environmental monitoring program for Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) was initiated in March 1981 and will continue until fuel loading, presently scheduled for November, 1983. This program is being conducted by NUS Corporation under contract with The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI).

This is the second Annual Report for the radiological environmental 4

, monitoring program being conducted under the contract. This report

, covers the period December 29, 1981 through January 4,1983 and ,

summarizes the results of measurements and analyses of data obtained i from samples collected during this interval.

1 A. Site and Station Description 1

PNPP will consist of two BWR units, each designed to operate at a

power level of about 1205 megawatts with the main condenser j circulating water cooled by a system of closed-loop natural draft j cooling towers. The plant is located on Lake Erie, on approximately i

1100 acres about thirty-five (35) miles northeast of Cleveland, Ohio l' and about seven (7) miles northeast of Painesville, Ohio. PNPP is situated in North Perry Village in northeastern Lake County, Ohio, p I

B. Objectives and ')verview of PNPP Monitoring Program i

, United States Nuclear Rej ai s tory Coanission (USNRC) regulations require that nuclear power plants be designed, constructed, and

{ operated to keep levels of radioactive material in ef fluen ts to i

unrestricted areas as low as reasonably achievable ( ALARA) (10 CFR

50.34). To assure that these criteria are met, each license authorizing reactor operation includes technical specifications (10 i
CFR 50.36a) governing the release of radioactive effluents.

In-plant monitoring will be used to assure that these predetermined release liaits are not exceeded. However, as a precaution against unexpected and undefined processes which might allow undue i accumulation of radioactivity in any sector of mar's environ.nent, a

! program for monitoring the plant environs is also included.

J j The regulations governing the quantities of radioactivity in reactor ef fluents allow nuclear power plants to contribute, at most, only a few percent increase above nonnal background radioactivity.

l Background levels at any one location are not constant but vary with time as they are influenced by external events such as cosnic ray j bombardment, weapons test fallout, and seasonal variations. These f

l 1evels also can vary spatially within relatively short distances l l reflecting variations in geological composition. Because of thesu  ;

ytti.11 aid temporal variations, the radiological surveys of the j plant environs are divided into preoperational and operational  !

p hases. The preoperational phase of the projram of sampling and i

measuring radioactivity in various media permits a general c haracterization of the radiation levels and concentrations t

prevailing prior to plant operation along with an indication of the j degree of natural variation to be expected. The operational phase

of the progras obtains data which, when considered along with the j data obtained in tM preoperational phase, assist in the evaluation of the radiological impact of plant operation, i

e t

I 2

Implementation of the preoperational monitoring program fulfills the following objectives:

1. Evaluation of procedures, equipment and techniques.
2. Identification of potentially important pathways to be monitored after the plant is in operation.
3. Measurement of background levels and their variations along potentially important pathways in the area surrounding the plant.
4. Provision of baseline data for statistical comparison with future operational analytical results.

Sampling locations were selected on the basis of local ecology, meteorology, physical characteristics of the region, and demographic and land use features of the site vicinity. The preoperational program was designed on the basis of the USNRC Branch Technical Position on radiological environmental monitoring issued by the Radiological Assessment Branch, Revision 1 (November 1979) (1)

In 1982 the radiological monitoring program included the measurement of ambient gamma radiation by thermoluminescent dosimetry, the determination of gamma emitters in shoreline sediments and fish, the detennination of gross beta and ganna emitters in airborne particulates, the measurement of airborne iodine-131, the measurement of gross beta, tritium, and gasma emitters in water, the measurement of iodine-131 and gamma emitters in milk, and the detenninetton of ganna emitters in silage and food products.

1 II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 4 Thirty-five locations within a radius of about 15 miles from the

?1PP si te were included in the monitoring program for 1982. The q

number and locations of monitoring points were determined by considering the locations where the highest off-site environmental concentrations have been predicted from plant effluent source terms, site hydrology, and site meteorological conditions. Other factors considered were applicable regulations, population distribution,

ease of access to sampling stations, security and future program integri ty.

]

The preoperational environmental radiological program for Perry is summarized in Table 1. Table 2 describes sample locations, associated media, and approximate distance and direction from the

! site. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the locations of sampling stations relative to PNPP.

4 In addition to the described analytical program, a milk animal, l vegetable garden, and residence survey was performed in 1982. This l survey located the nearest milk animal, garden and residence in each sector (out to 5 miles) and will be updated annually. '

j  !!!. SAMPLING METHODS AND PROCEDURES i

To derive meaningful and useful data from the radiological environmental monitoring program, sampling methods and procedures l are required which will provide samples representative of potenti al pathways of the area. During the preoperational phase of the l, program, samples are collected and analyzed not only to obtain I

background radiological levels, but at the same time to acquire

! experience with the sampling methodolo y and procedural forr.t dictated by site specific requirements.I2 4

i A. Direct Radiation

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to determine the direct (ambient) radiation levels at twenty-five (25) monitoring
points as described in Tables 1 and 2. Sampling locations were chosen according to the criteria given in the USNRC Branch Technical Position on Radiological Monitoring (Revision 1, November 1979).III I

TLDs were located in two rings around the station. An inner ring was located at the site boundary and an outer ring was located at an approximate distance of 4 to 5 miles from the station.

The area around the station was divided into 16 radial sectors of 22 1/2 degrees each. TLDs were placed in all sectors except those which radiated from the site directly out over the lake without '

intersecting any unrestricted areas. Additional TLDs were located at three nearby communities and two control locations.

For routine TLD measurements, two dosimeters of CaSO :Dy in teflon 4

cards were deployed at each selected location. One set of dosimeters were exchanged on a monthly basis and the second set was exchanged on an annual basis. Additional sets of dosimeters were shipped with each exchange cycle to serve as in-transit controls.

For routine exchanges TLDs were shipped by overnight Greyhound one evening, picked up and exchanged the following day, and returned by overnight Greyhound on the second evening. This was done to maintain the minimum possible in-transit dose.

Individual dosimeters were calibrated by exposure to an accurately known radiation field from a calibrated Cs-137 source.

!t B. Fish l Fish sampling was conducted in May and Dctober at two locations for this program. The immediate vicinity of the discharge was selected as an indicator location, and an offshore location at Mentor-on-the-Lake was chosen as a control location.

Using a passive collection technique, an experimental gill net (mesh ranging from approximately 1.0 to 2.5 inches to maximize catches in

useful size ranges) was set at each sampling location by biologists under contract to NUS Corporation. Nets were set in the evening and removed the following morning. Entrapped surviving fish not required for sampling were released. A Scientific Collecting Permit was obtained from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to permit this sampling.

Available edible species were filleted at the time of collection.

The edible portions were packed in ice and shipped to the laboratory for analysis by gamma spectrometry.

C. Sediment Sediment samples were collected in May and Oc tober at four locations. Two locations were nominally the same as the locations j chosen for fish sampling. At Hentor the sediment was collected approximately 400 yards further offshore, and at the Perry discharge the sediment was collected approximately 600 yards further offshore.

Some movement was necessary to find a suitable substrate for l sampling. Sediment samples were also collected offshore in the vicinities of Fairport Harbor and Redbird. Samples were collected

with a petite ponar grab sampler in about 30 feet of water. A
sample was composited at each location in a 3 gallon plastic bucket.

Approximately I kilogram was frozen and shipped to the laboratory for analysis by gamma spectronetry.

D. Airborne Particulates/ Air Iodine-131 Airborne particulate and air iodine sampling was initiated on September 29 and 30, 1982 for Stations 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Air sampling was initiated on October 28, 1982 for Station 35. Sampling was performed by Research Appliance Company continuous low volume air sampler units (Model #209088-2). Air particulates were collected by drawing air through a 47-millimeter diameter glass fiber filter. Air fodin+-131 was collected by drawing air through a 57 millimeter diameter TEDA impregnated charcoal cartridge (F & J Specialty Products, Inc.). The sampling units are housed in ventilated metal cabinets bolted to telephone poles.

The air sampling network consists of six (6) stations; one is located in Redbird, approximately 3.4 miles ENE of the Perry plant and four are located at the site boundary. The control location is located at the Concord Service Center, approximately 11 miles SSW of the plant. These locations are identified in Figures 1 and 2 and described in Tables 1 and 2.

i The samplers were run continuously and the filter and charcoal cartridge exchanged weekly. The elapsed time of sampling was recorded va es elapsed-time meter. Total air volume was calculated and recorded by the site technician from the initial and final r

volumes as registered on the dry gas meter.

I 14

E. Water hater saaipling was initiated in September,1982. The water sampling network consists of four (4) stations as identified in Figures 1 and 2 and described in Tables 1 and 2. Two of the stations (28 and 34) utilize Horizon Interval Samplers, which collect a small volume of

water at short intervals, nominally 15 minutes. A third location (37) utilizes an interval timer to control a solenoid valve on a pressurized sampling line. This arrangement draws small aliquots at the periodic intervals. The small volumes are automatically composited into a five-gallon container. Currently, a grab sample is taken at Station 36. This will continue until the Painesville Water Supply Co. is completed and a Horizon Interval Sampler is installed. Samples from the four (4) stations are collected monthly by the site technician.

F. Milk / Silage Milk sampling was initiated on October 27, 1982. Milk samples were collected monthly (except for November, when 2 samples were taken) from Brookglen Farm (Station 33), located approximately 10.2 miles south of the Perry plant. As a preservative, formalin was added to .

each sample at the time of collection. The annual silage sample for Station 33 was taken on the initial sampling date, October 27, 1982.

Indicator locatiors will be finalized following a milk animal survey in 1983. The survey and subsequent sample collections will be correlated with the Perry fuel load date.

G. Food Products 1

The annual collection of food products was conducted on September

29, 1982. Various fruits and vegetables were collected from Station 38 (Seith Farm, Antioch Road).

SUMMARY

AND DISCUSSION OF 1982 ANALYTICAL RESULTS Data from the radiological analyses of environmental media collected during the report period are tabulated and discussed below. The procedures and specification followed in the laboratory for these rulyses are as required in Section 5.0 of the NUS Environmental Systems Group Quality Assurance Manual, Issue B, and are detailed in the NUS Radiological Laboratory Work Instructions.

1 Radiological analyses of environmental media characteristically approach

! and frequently fall below the detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement methods. The use of "LT" in the data tables is the equivalent of the less than symbol (<) and is consistent with the NUS Radiological Laboratory practice of data reporting. The number following the "LT" is a result of the lower limit of detection (LLD) calculation as defined in Appendix B. "ND" (Not Detected) is used periodically in the tables presenting gamma analysis results for various media. It primarily appears unoer the "Others" column, and indicates that no other detectable gama emitting nuclides were identified. NUS analytical methods meet the LLD requirements addressed in Table 2 of the USNRC Branch Technical Position on Radiological Monitoring (November 1979, Revision 1).III Tables 3 through 16 give the radioanalytical resul ts for individual samples. A statistical summary of the results appears in Table 17. The reported averages are based only on concentrations above the limit of detection. In Table 17, the fraction ( f) of the total number of analyses which were detectable follows in parentheses. Also given in i parentheses are the minimum and maximum values of detectable activity during the report period.

A. Direct Radiation i

! Environmental radiation dose rates determined by thermoluminescent dosiu.eters (TLDs) are given in Table 3. TLD badges of four readout i

areas each were ceployed at each location on monthly and annual cycles.

4 The " annual" cycle covers the period January through December. The mean values of four readings (corrected individually for response to a known i dose and for in-transit exposure) are reported.

A statistical summary of the 1982 data is included in Table 17.

i Individual measurements of external radiation levels in the environs of the PNPP site ranged from 0.10 to 0.36 mR/ day. Table 4 compares the j data from the aqqsal cycle TLDs with the annual averages of the monthly j cycle TLDs. Agreement between the two types of data is generally quite good.

Annual averages (from the monthly cycles) ranged from 0.17 to 0.27 mR/ day or 62 to 99 mR/ year. ,

Oakley II calculates an ionizing radiation dose equivalent of 82.2 mR/ year for Ohio including a terrestrial component of 45.6 nR/ year and

an ionizing cosmic ray component of 36.6 mR/ year (excludes neutron i component). Since Oakley's values represent averages covering wide geographical areas, the measured ambient radiation average of 71 mR/ year j for the immediate locale of Perry is not inconsistent with Dakley's observations. Significant variations occur between geographical areas as a result of geological composition and altitude differences. '

Temporal variations result from changes in cosmic ray intensi ty, local human activities, and factors such as ground cover and soil moisture.

B. Fish The resalts of ganaa spectro.netric analyses of fish sa nples collected during 1982 are presented in Table 5. A total of 23 samples were analyzed; 11 from the indicator location dod 12 fro.n the control ixation. Sampling efforts concentrated on the larger edible species of commercial and/or recreational it.1portance.

As expected, naturally occurring K-40 war. the major detectable ac tivity in the edible portions of the fish. Cs-137 was also detected in 4 of 23 samples ranging froin 16 to 28 picoCuries per kilogram (wet). This isotope has often been reported in fish flesh in other enviem1 ental monitoring prograns. Since it is present in global fallout, the occasional detection of Cs-137 in environnental media is not unusual.

C. Shoreline Sediments The processes by which radionuclides and stable elements are concentrated in bottom sediments are complex, involving physicochemical interaction in the environment between the various organic and inorganic materials from the watershed. These interactions can proceed by a myriad of steps in which the elements are adsorbed on or displaced from the surfaces of colloidal particles enriched with chelating organic material s. Biological acti.on of bacteria and other benthic organisms also contribute to the concentration of certain elements and in the acceleration of the sedimentation process.

Results of the gama isotopic analyses of the sediments sanpled from the PNPP environment are given in Table 6. The average, fraction of detectables, and range of radionuclide concentrations are summarized in Table 17.

i Most of the observed gamma emitters were naturally occurring members of j the uranium and thorium decay chains. These were detected in their expected concentrations. Similarly, K-40 was observed in all samples at its expected range of activities. The predominant man-made radionuclide 4

observed in the sediment samples was Cs-137. Because of its presence in global fallout, the detection of this isotope is neither unexpected nor l unusual. The activity levels reported (120 to 670 picoCuries per kilogram ( dry) ) are within the range of observed values for other-1 environmental monitoring programs. Due to the inhomogeneity typical of sediment samples, wide variations between samples are expected even when }

the samples are taken relatively near each other.

d d

In 1981, detectable activities of Co-60 were observed in 4 of 8 sediment j saiples. Co-60 was not detected in any of the sediment samples during 1

1982.

! V. LAND USE CENSUS e

A land use survey was performed in the environs of the Perry NPP on July 19 through July 21, 1982. The purpose of this survey was to .

identify the potential indicator milk sampling locations as well as the nearest vegetable garden and residence in each of the sixteen standard j sampling sectors around the plant. The outer bound of the survey for identifying the " nearest" or potential indicator locations was 5 miles.  !

j In addition, candidate " control" milk sampling locations were [

identified. Table 18 identifies the nearest garden and residence in  !

each sector for which one could be identified within the 5 mile radius.

Table 19 identifies all the potential indicator milk sampling locations

! within 5 miles of the plant. Candidate control milk sampling locations  ;

are given in Table 20.

I APPENDIX A LABORATORY QUALITY ASSURANCE l 1. Introduction The quality assurance program of the Radiological Laboratory of NUS is briefly descrioed in this appendix.

Information on each incoming sample is entered i t, a permanent log book. A sample number is assigned to each sample at the time of receipt. This sample number uniquely identifies each sample.

^

Laboratory counting instruments are calibrated, using radionuclide standards obtained from the National Bureau of Standards, the EPA, and reliable commercial suppliers, such as Amersham-Searle. Calibration of counting instruments is maintained by regular counting of radioactive reference sources. Background counting rates are measured regularly on all counting instruments. Additional performance checks for the gamma-ray scintillation spectrometer include regular checks i and adjustment, when necessary, of energy calibration.

i Blank samples are processed, with each group of samples analyzed for specific radionuclides, using radiochemical separation procedures.

Blank, spiked (known quantities of radioactivity added), and replicate samples are processed periodically to determine analytical precision and accuracy.

2. Laboratory Analyses for Quality Assurance I i

) The quality assurance procedures employed in the conduct of I

! radiological monitoring programs by the Environmental Services l Oivision Padiological Laboratory are as required in Section 5.0 of the NUS Environmental Systems Group Quality Assurance Manual and detailed in the NUS Radiological Laboratory Manual. These procedures include the requirement for (1) laboratory analysis of samples distributed by appropriate government or other standards-maintaining agencies in a laboratcry intercomparison program, (2) analysis of so ne of the client's environmental samples split with other independent laboratories, and (3) analysis in duplicate of a specific fraction of the client's environmental samples.

3 The N"5 Radiological Laboratory participates in the U.S.

Environ') ental Protection Agency Radioactivity Intercomparison Studies (Cross-check) Program. The NUS results of analyses performed on samples pertinent to the Perry program and the known values are listed

in Tables A-1 through A-17.

APPENDIX B REPORTING OF ANALYTICA'. RESULTS In the tables presenting analytical measurements, t he calcula ted val a s is r v arted with the two signa counting error (2e ) derived from a statistical analysis of both the saiyle t Lt 51:%yound count ra tes. The precision of the resalts is influenced by the size of the sample, the background count rate, and the method used to round off the vain htsic:t to reflect the degree of significance of the resul ts. For analytical resul ts obtained from gamma spectral analysis, the precision is also influenced by the composition and

! concentrations of the radionuclides in the sample, the size of the s+aple, and the assumptions used in selecting the radionuclides to be quantitatively determined. T he two signa error for the net counting rate is:

R R s b 2e=2 +

t t s b w here R = sample counting rate 3

Rb = background counting rate t s= sample counting time t b= background counting time 1

s B-1

." 1 If the measurements on the saisiples are not statistic.tlly significant (i.e., the two sig.:14 comit errar is equal to or greater than the net measured value), then the radioactivity concentrations iri the s.s.aple are considered not detected.

Results reparted as less than ("LT") are below the lower limit of detection (LL3). The U.0 is defined as the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will yield a net count (above system background) that will be detected with 95 perceqt jenability with only 5 percent probability of falsely concluding that blank observation. represents a "real" signal.

B-2

-_ _ _ ~ . . _ .

For a particular .neasureinent system (that may include radioc temical separation): ,

  • 00S LLD = b E x V x 2.22 x Y x exp (- A a t) where:

. LL3 is the lower limit of detection as defined above (as p01 per unit mass or volume) s b

is ?.he standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute)

E is the counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration) j Y is the sample size (in units of mass or volume) 2.22 is the number of disintegrations per minute per picocurie Y is the fractional radioctemical yield (when applicable)

A is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide at is the elapsed time between sample collection and counting B-3

l The following are definitions or descriptions of statistical terms used in the reporting and analysis of environ 11 ental monitoring resul ts.

Precision relates to the reproducibility of niess jee.aents within a set, that is, to the scatter or dispersion of a set about its central value.

Measures of the Central Value of a Set. Mean (or Average or n

Aritivnetic Mean) is the sa.n I X of the values of individual results divided by the number of"desults in the set. T t.s mean is given by:

n X = (X1 . + X 2 ****X n

!"

  • I /

1" i=1 Measures of Precision with a Set. Standard Deviation is the square root of the quantity (suin of squares of deviations of individual results from the mean, divided by one less than the number of results in the set). The standard deviation, s, is given by:

n s= r (X'. - X)2 / (n-1) i=1 Standard deviation has the same units as the measurement. I t.

becomes a more reliable expression of precision as n becomes larger.

When the measurements are independent and normally distributed, the most useful statistics are this 4tto for the central value and the standard deviation for the dispersion.

Relative Standard Deviati,on is the standard deviation egrassed as a i j Fraction of the inean, s/X. It is sometimes multiplied by 100 and j expressad as a percentage, j Range is the difference in magnitude between the largest and the staallest - re321 ts' in a set. Instead of a single value, the actual limits are saiietities expressed (minimuin value/ maximum value).
