1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Kewaunee Power Station was a 598 megawatt pressurized water reactor located on the Wisconsin shore of Lake Michigan in Kewaunee County. The Plant became critical on March 7, 1974. Initial power generation was achieved on April 8, 1974, and the Plant was declared commercial on June 16, 1974.

On February 25, 2013, Dominion Energy Kewaunee submitted a certification of intent to cease power operations to the Nuclear Regulatory Committee. Power Operation of the Kewaunee Power Station ceased on May 7, 2013. The fuel was permanently removed from the reactor and placed in the spent fuel pool for storage on May 14, 2013. On June 15, 2017, the transfer of all spent fuel from the KPS Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) was completed. All remaining irradiated materials were removed from the SFP in October of 2017. All radioactive liquid was drained from systems in the Auxiliary Building by the end of the first week of August 2018.

This report summarizes the environmental operation data collected during the period January -

December 2019.

Dominion Energy Kewaunee, operator and owner of the Kewaunee Power Station, assumes responsibility for the environmental program at the Plant. Any questions should be directed to Mr. Daniel J. Shannon, Manager Radiological Protection and Chemistry, at (920) 304-1129.

I 3.0 RADIOLOGICAL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM Following is a description of the Radiological Surveillance Program and its execution. See section 3.1.5 for details of additional changes that were made to the program in 2019 as a result of the cessation of power operations as described in the introduction.

3.1 METHODOLOGY The sampling locations are shown in Figure 4-1. Table 4.1 describes the locations, lists for each direction and distance from the reactor, and defines which are the indicator and control locations.

The sampling program monitors the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments. The types of samples collected at each location and the frequency of collections are presented in Table 4.2, using sample codes defined in Table 4.3. The collections and analyses that comprise the program are described below.

Finally, the execution of the program in the current reporting year is discussed.

3.1.1 The Air Program Ambient Gamma Radiation - TLDs Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at the one control location (K-2), at four inner ring locations (K-1f, K-25, K-27 and K-30), and from six outer ring locations (K-3, K-5, K-8, K-17, K-39 and K-43) by thermoluminescent dosimetry {TLD). Two TLD cards, each having four main readout areas containing CaSO4:Dy phosphor, are placed at each location (eight readout areas per each location).

One card is exchanged quarterly, the other card is exchanged annually and read only on an emergency basis.

Dosimeters have also been placed at four additional locations (K-1 m, K-1 o, K-1 q and K-1 r), to monitor an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) as part of the inner ring locations. They are replaced and measured quarterly.

Airborne Particulates Airborne particulates are collected on 47 mm diameter filters, at a volumetric rate of approx. one cubic foot per minute. The filters are collected weekly from four locations (K-1f, K-2(control), K-8 and K-43),

and dispatched by mail to ATI Environmental, Inc. for radiometric analysis. The particulate filters are counted for gross beta activity, a minimum of three days after the date of collection, to allow for the decay of naturally-occurring short-lived radionuclides.

Quarterly composites from each sampling location are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes on a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector.

Airborne Iodine Airborne iodine analysis was discontinued beginning it") 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1).

Precipitation The collection and analysis of precipitation samples was discontinued beginning in 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1).

3

3.1.2 The Terrestrial Program Milk The collection and analysis of milk samples was discontinued beginning in 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1).

WellWater Well water is collected quarterly from one off-site well location K-13 and from three on-site wells located at K-1h, K-1t and K-1u. Samples are only collected at locations K-1t and K-1u when these sources are tapped for drinking purposes in areas where the hydraulic gradient or recharge properties are suitable for contamination.

Gamma spectroscopic analysis, tritium and gross beta on the total residue are performed for each water sample. The concentration of potassium-40 is calculated from total potassium. Samples of water from the three on-site wells (K-1 h, K-1t and K-1 u) are analyzed for gross alpha. The water sample from K-1 h is also tested for strontium-90.

Monitoring wells and results associated with the Ground Water Protection Program (GWPP) are reported in the KPS Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR).

The groundwater monitoring well locations associated with the GWPP are included in Figure 4-2 along with the onsite well water sampling locations associated with the REMP.

Domestic Meat The collection and analysis of domestic meat was discontinued in 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1).

The collection and analysis of eggs was discontinued in 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1 ).

Broad leafVegetation Annually, during the third quarter, samples of broad leaf vegetation are collected from location K-26. Samples may also be obtained from other local sources to supplement the program. In addition, two samples of broad leaf vegetation are collected annually from farmland owned by Dominion Energy Kewaunee (K-23a and K-23b) and rented to a private individual for growing crops. The samples are analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes.

Cattle Feed Cattle feed (e.g., hay and silage) is collected during the first quarter from dairy farm locations (K-3, K-5, K-34, K-35, K-38 and K-39). The samples are analyzed for gross beta, strontium-90 and gamma emitting isotopes.

Grass Grass is collected during the second, third and fourth quarters from two on-site locations (K-1b and K-1f) and from the dairy farm locations (K-3, K-5, K-34, K-35, K-38 and K-39). The samples are analyzed for gross beta, strontium-90 and gamma emitting isotopes.

Soil Soil samples are collected twice a year on-site at K-1f and from the dairy farm locations (K-3, K-34, K-35 and K-38). The samples are analyzed for gross alpha, gross beta, strontium-90 and gamma emitting isotopes.

3.1.3 The Aquatic Program Surface Water Surface water samples are taken quarterly from two locations on Lake Michigan: 1) at the point where plant effluent water is discharged into Lake Michigan (K-1 d); and 2) at the main pumping station located approximately equidistant from Kewaunee and Green Bay, which pumps water from the Rostek water intake (K-9) located 11.5 miles NNE of the reactor site. Both raw and tap water are collected at K-9. One-gallon water samples are taken quarterly from two creeks that pass through the site (K-1 b and K-1 e). Samples from the Middle Creek (K-1 b) are collected near the mouth of the creek. Samples from the South Creek (K-1e) are collected about ten feet downstream from the point where the outflow from the two drain pipes meets.

The water is analyzed for gamma emitting isotopes, gross beta activity in total residue, dissolved and suspended solids, and potassium-40, tritium and strontium-90. The concentration of potassium-40 is calculated from the total potassium concentration.

Fish Fish samples are collected during the third quarter near location K-1d. The flesh is separated from the bones, gamma scanned and analyzed for gross beta activity. Bone samples are analyzed for gross beta, and strontium-90. A local fish market, (e.g.,Lafond's in Kewaunee), may be used for backup fish samples, if needed.

Aquatic Slime The collection and analysis of aquatic slime was discontinued in 2018 due to the cessation of power operations (see Introduction on page 1).

Shoreline Sediment Shoreline sediments are collected in May and November from three locations (K-1c, K-1j and K-9) in areas with potential for recreational value. The samples are analyzed for gross beta, strontium-90 and gamma emitting isotopes.

3.1.4 Program Execution Program execution is summarized in Table 4.4. The program was executed for the year 2019 as described in the preceding sections, with the following exceptions:

Air Particulates A partial air particulate sample (199 m3) was collected at location K-1f, for the sample period ending 4/16/19. A blown fuse caused a power failure to the sample pump (CR#1880).

A partial air particulate sample (197 m3) was collected at location K-1f, for the sample period ending 4/23/19. A blown fuse caused a power failure to the pump (CR#1884).

A partial air particul_ate sample (173 m3) was collected at location K-2, for the sample period ending 6/11/19. A blown fuse to the sample pump power switch was found (CR#1898).

A partial air particulate sample (150 m3) was collected at location K-8, for the sample period ending 7/09/19. The pump was failing so a conservative sampler flowrate of 15 L per minute was used for volume calculation (CR#1904).

A partial air particulate sample (280 m3) was collected at location K-1f for the sample period ending 7/23/19. The cause of the reduced sample was a temporary loss of power to the sampler due to severe weather (CR#1914).

A partial air particulate sample (62 m3) was collected at location K-8, for the sample period ending 8/13/19. A fuse to the sample pump was blown (CR#1927).

A partial air particulate sample (40 m3) was collected at location K-8, for the sample period ending 9/17/19. The main breaker on the pole was tripped (CR#1940).

A partial air particulate sample (86 m3) was collected at location K-8, for the sample period ending 11/19/19. The pump was found not running due to an open power supply breaker (CR#1974).

Surface Water No sample was available for collection 03/04/19 due to frozen conditions (CR#1890).

3.1.5 Program Modifications Further program modifications in 2019 as a result of the cessation of power operations as described in section 1.0 on page 1 are as follows:

Well Water One on-site location K-1 u was added to the program for 2019. Well water sampling frequency remains at once every three months.

Surface Water Surface water sampling frequency was reduced from monthly to quarterly beginning in the second quarter of 2019 on five samples collected at four locations. The locations are K-1 d, K-9 raw, K-9 treated, and when available creek samples from K-1b and K-1e. Analyses for strontium-90 and tritium previously performed on quarterly composites is now performed on the quarterly samples.

3.2 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Results for the reporting period January to December, 2019 are presented in summary form in Table 4.5. For each type of analysis, of each sampled medium, the table shows the annual mean and range for all indicator and control locations. The location with the highest annual mean and the results for this location are also given.

The discussion of the results has been divided into three broad categories: the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments. Within each category, samples will be discussed in the order listed in Table 4.4.

Any discussion of previous environmental data for the Kewaunee Power Station refers to data collected by Environmental Inc., Midwest Laboratory.

Results of all measurements made in 2019 are not included in this section, although references to these results will be made in the discussion. A complete tabulation of results is provided in Part II of the 2019 annual report on the Radiological Monitoring Program for the Kewaunee Power Station.

3.2.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no atmospheric nuclear tests or accidents reported in 2019. The Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accidents occurred on April 26, 1986 and March 11, 2011, respectively. The last reported atmospheric nuclear test was conducted by the People's Republic of China on October 16, 1980. Contributions from these events have resulted in the presence of long-lived radioisotopes of cesium and strontium still detectable in the environment.

3.2.2 The Air Environment Ambient Gamma Radiation - TLDs Ambient gamma radiation was monitored by TLDs at eleven locations, ten indicators (K-1f, K-3, K-5, K-8, K-17, K-25, K-27, K-30, K-39 and K-43) and one control (K-2). TLDs at the indicator locations measured a mean dose equivalent of 15.8 mR/91 days, in close agreement with the control location 16.6 mR/91 days. The readings are similar to the averages obtained from 2002 (and prior to) through 2018.

These results support the conclusion that no plant effect on ambient gamma radiation was indicated. These values are lower than the United States average value of 19.5 mR/91 days due to natural background radiation (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, 1975). The highest annual mean was 17.6 mR/91 days, measured at indicator location K-17.

Using ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 as guidance, a determination of facility related dose was performed using quarterly TLD data from control and indicator locations from 2009 through 2018. A baseline background dose (BQ) was computed for each TLD location. Then a Quarterly Minimum Differential Dose (MDDQ) was calculated as 3 times the 90th percentile of the standard deviations of the historical quarterly results. The result of this calculation was 6.2 mrem. Transit and storage doses weren't considered since the TLD's currently are, and have historically been, collected in the field and delivered to the laboratory for immediate processing.

2019 results at all locations, both indicator and control, were lower than the sum of the Baseline Background Dose (Ba} and the Quarterly Minimum Differential Dose (MDDQ}, which according to ANSI/HP$ N13.37-2014 indicates no detection (ND) and which supports the conclusion that there is no plant effect.

Airborne Particulates The annual gross beta concentration in air particulates averaged 0.021 pCi/m3 at the indicator locations and 0.019 at the control location, similar to the means observed from 2002 (and prior to) through 2018. There is no indication of a plant effect, the average readings were evenly distributed between indicator and control locations. New sampler pumps were installed in the third quarter of 2010. The slight increases in beta activity may be due to a change in the calculated volume. Results are tabulated below.

Variation in the gross beta activity throughoutthe year is not unusual. Typically, higher beta averages occur during the months of January and December, and the first and fourth quarters, as noted in data from 2002 through 2018.

Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations. Beryllium-?, produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation, was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.073 pCi/m3 at the indicator locations and an average of 0.067 pCi/m3 at the control location. All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective MDC levels.

3.2.3 The Terrestrial Environment Well Water Three of twelve samples tested positive for gross alpha at an average of 3.6 pCi/L. Detectable gross beta activity was measured in five of the twelve indicator samples and also in two of the four control samples tested. The average of indicator samples concentration measured 3.4 pCi/L versus an average of 1.1 pCi/L for the positive control samples. These levels are consistent with the concentrations of potassium-40 measured (2.15 pCi/L average for indicators versus 1.16 pCi/L average for controls}. It is not unusual to see high potassium-40 levels in an agricultural setting.

Potassium-40 is present wherever stable potassium is found. Therefore positive results can be attributed to agricultural runoff. The gross alpha activities are most likely contributions from naturally-occurring daughters of radium and thorium when detected in the well water.

No strontium-90 was detected in any of the four samples tested. All concentrations measured below an MDC value 0.5 pCi/L.

Sixteen well water samples were tested for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes. All tritium concentrations measured below a detection level of 155 pCi/L. Gamma-emitting isotopes measured below respective MDC levels.

Broad Leaf Vegetation Three samples of broad leaf vegetation were analyzed for gamma emitters. Only naturally occurring potassium-40 and beryllium-7 were detected.

Cattle Feed In the twelve cattlefeed samples analyzed in 2019 the gross beta average concentrations of 12.02 pCi/gwet indicator and 16.57 pCi/gwet control agree well with the potassium-40 average concentration results of 9.39 pCi/gwet indicator and 11.20 pCi/gwet control. Strontium-90 was detected in one of the twelve samples at a level of 0.005 pCi/gwet. These results are also comparable to historical results for analysis of cattle feed. No plant effect is indicated.

Eight grass samples were collected in June, August and October at six indicator locations and two control locations for a total of twenty-four samples for the year. The samples were analyzed for gross beta, strontium-90 and gamma emitting isotopes. Analysis results show very good agreement between the gross beta results and the potassium-40 results. Naturally occurring beryllium-7 was also detected in all of the samples. Strontium-90 tested below an overall MDC of 0.005 pCi/g wet in twenty-three of the twenty-four samples tested with one sample testing positive at a concentration of 0.007 pCi/g wet. Trace levels of Sr-90 in the environment can be attributed to nuclear testing and accidents.

With the exception of the naturally-occurring beryllium and potassium, all gamma-emitting isotopes were below MDC levels. These results are comparable to historical results for analysis of grass. No plant effect is indicated.

Soil Gross alpha concentrations in soil averaged 6.99 pCi/g dry in the six indicator samples and 6.56 pCi/g dry in three of the four control samples. Mean gross beta levels measured at indicator and control locations averaged 24.74 and 23.73 pCi/g dry, respectively, primarily due to potassium-40 activity.

Strontium-90 was measured below an overall MDC value of 0.066 pCi/g dry in the ten samples tested.

Cesium-137 was detected in all ten soil samples at an average of 0.08 pCi/g dry at the indicator and 0.12 pCi/g dry at the control locations. Trace levels of Cs-137 in the environment can be attributed to nuclear testing and accidents. Potassium-40 was detected in all samples and averaged 17.43 and 17.49 pCi/g dry for indicator and control locations, respectively. Naturally occurring Be-7 was detected in one sample at a concentration of 2.41 pCi/ gdry. All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below 10

respective MDC levels. The levels of detected activities are similar to those observed from 1990 through 2017. The data suggests no evidence of a plant effect.

3.2.4 The Aquatic Environment Surface Water Gross beta activity in surface water measured higher at the indicator locations (3.1 pCi/L) than at the control locations (1.2* pCi/L). A similar pattern of activity has been observed since 1978. The highest gross beta activities measured in 2019 were sampled from location K-1e. The average activity was 4.0 pCi/L, with a range of 1.7 to 10.4 pCi/L. The potassium-40 concentrations also averaged 2.2 pCi/L and ranged from 0.3 to 6.2 pCi/L at the indicator locations.

Sampling at location K-1k was discontinued in 2018. Location K-1k had historically displayed higher gross beta and potassium-40 levels due to agricultural runoff. The remaining sampling locations exhibit results that are comparable with past results.

Tritium was detected at location K-1d condenser discharge in the first quarter sample at a concentration of 226 pCi/L and was reanalyzed with a result of 241 pCi/L. This result was most likely due to residual amounts of tritium remaining in the plant discharge area from multiple discharges of processed radioactive liquid effluents containing tritium during 2018.

Subsequent samples were taken in the second, third and fourth quarter were all below their respective MDC levels.

Strontium-90 was detected in the first quarter composite sample at location K-1 b at a concentration of 0.5 pCi which is close to the MDC of 0.6. Trace levels of Sr-90 in the environment can be attributed to nuclear testing and fallout.

With the exception of naturally occurring potassium-40, gamma-emitting isotopes measured below their respective MDC levels in all samples.

11

Fish In the fish sample, the gross beta concentration was 3.51 pCi/g wet in flesh and 5.18 pCi/g wet in bone fractions. In flesh, the gross beta concentration was primarily due to the potassium-40 concentration of 4.02 pCi/g wet.

Excluding potassium-40, gamma-emitting isotopes measured below their respective MDC levels.

Strontium-90 was detected at a concentration of 0.11 pCi/g wet. Trace levels of strontium-90 can be attributed to nuclear testing and fallout.

Shoreline Sediments In shoreline sediment samples, the mean gross beta concentrations measured an average 7.42 pCi/g dry at the indicator locations versus an average of 20.08 pCi/g dry at the control location. These results are consistent with the levels of potassium-40 measured in these samples (4.60 pCi/g dry and 11.74 pCi/g dry respectively).

Cesium-137 was detected in two of four samples taken in 2019 at the indicator locations and in one of the two samples taken at the control location at concentrations of 0.02 and 0.09 pCi/g dry respectively.

Trace levels of Cs-137 in the environment can be attributed to nuclear testing and fallout. Other gamma-emitting isotopes, with the exception of naturally-occurring potassium-40, were below their respective MDC levels.

Strontium-90 was measured below an MDC of 0.060 pCi/g dry for all locations.

These results support the conclusion that there is no plant effect.

3.3 LAND USE CENSUS The Land Use Census satisfies the requirements of the KPS Radiological Environmental Monitoring Manual. Section 2.2.2 states:

"A land use census shall be conducted and shall identify within a distance of 8 km (5 mi.) the location, in each of the 10 meteorological sectors, of the nearest residence and the nearest garden of greater than 50m2 (500 ft2) producing broad leaf vegetation." (Figure 4-1)

The 2019 Land Use Census was completed to identify the presence of the nearest milk animals, gardens and farm crops surrounding the Kewaunee Power Station. The Land Use Census was conducted on September 3, 2019. The census is performed annually during the growing season per Radiation Protection Procedure RP-KW-001-014.

The Land Use Census observed that in Sector M there was no garden found where there had been one previously. In sector N the closest garden changed from 1.03 miles to 2.37 miles. In sector P the closest garden changed from 2.45 miles to 1.41 miles. A summary of the Land Use Census is shown in table 4.6.

3.4 LABO RA TORY PROCEDURES Analytical Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.

Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984.

Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained. Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2018). The QA Program includes participation in lnterlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs. Results obtained are presented in Appendix A.

Appendix A lnterlaboratory/ lntralaboratory Comparison Program Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of it's quality control program in December 1971. These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental type samples containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories. The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on a laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it of any possible problems.

Participant laboratories measure the concentration of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency. Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits. Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used.

Results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the RAD PT Study Proficiency Testing Program administered by Environmental Resource Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Results in Table A-2 were obtained through participation in the New York Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) PT Table A-3 lists results for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), via irradiation and evaluation by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Radiation Calibration Laboratory at the University of Wisconsin Medical Radiation Research Center.

Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house "spiked" samples for the past twelve months. All samples are prepared using NIST traceable sources. Data for previous years available upon request.

Table A-5 lists results of the analyses on in-house "blank" samples for the past twelve months. Data for previous years available upon request.

Table A-6 lists analytical results from the in-house "duplicate" program for the past twelve months. Acceptance is based on the each result being with 25% of the mean of the two results or the two sigma uncertanties of each result overlap.

The results In Table A-7 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program.

Results in Table A-8 were obtained through participation in the MRAD PT Study Proficiency Testlng Program administered by Environmental Resource Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the Environmental Measurement Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML).

Attachment A lists the laboratory acceptance criteria for various analyses.

Out-of-limit results are explained directly below the result.

b In order to get to the root cause of the above "Fall" resolution the U-232 tracer was standardized using a known concentration of NIST U-238 solution. A duplicate analysis was performed and the results obtained were well within the acceptance range (Known value for Total Uranium=68.2 pCI/L, acceptance range of (55.7-75 pCl/L). The results obtained were 63.3 pCI/L and 66.0 pCi/L respectively.

c The standardized U-232 value utilized on ERA sample ERW-1141 above was found to be estimated high due to Interferences In the U-238 solution causing ERW-1141 to fail the study. After performing LI-Isotopic chemistry on the NIST-Uranium solution to remove Interferences a more accurate U-232 tracer concentration was obtained.

The Uranium result in the subsequent ERA PT study was acceptable. See ERW-2477 Uranium result above.

d EIML's routine H-3 analysis does include a blank sample. The ERA provided blank was paired with a H-3 standard vial and EIML's blank was also paired with a standard vial. Inadvertently the efficiency was overestimated by a factor of 2.

This understated the calculated results by half. The result of reanalysis (17,400 pCI/L) is within the control limits for the study.

  • fax (947) 56"4517 Appendix B Data Reporting Conventions

APPENDIX B.

DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS Data Reporting Conventions 1.0. All activities, except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period.

2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows:

x +/- s where:

x = value of the measurement; s = 2cr counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).

In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L = the lower limit of detection based on 4.66cr uncertainty for a background sample.

3.0. Duplicate analyses If duplicate analyses are reported, the convention is as follows. :

3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x1 +/- s1 and "2 +/- s2 Reported result:

x +/- s; where x = ( 1 /2)(x1 + x2) and s = ( 1 /2).J s~ + s i 3.2.

3.3.

Individual results:

< L1, < L2 Individual results:

x +/- s, < L Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L1 and L2 Reported result:

x +/- s if x.?: L; < L otherwise.

4.0. Computation of Averages and Standard Deviations 4.1 Averages and standard deviations listed in the tables are computed from all of the Individual measurements over the period averaged; for examp~. an annual standard deviation would not be the average of quarterly standard deviations. The average x and standard deviation "s" of a set of n numbers x1, x2... xn are defined as follows:

4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.

4.3 lf all values In the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.

4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.

4.5 ln rounding off, the following rules are followed:

4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained Is less than 5, the number ls dropped, and the retained numbers are kept unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.

4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number Is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45.
