1.0 INTRODUCTION

The radiological environmental surveillance program at Vermont Yankee has been designed and carried out with specific objectives in mind. They are as follows:

To provide an early indication of the appearance or accumulation of any radioactive material in the environment caused by the operation of the nuclear power station.

To provide assurance to regulatory agencies and the public that the station's environmental impact is known and within anticipated limits.

To verify the adequacy and proper functioning of station effluent controls and monitoring systems.

To provide standby monitoring capability for rapid assessment of I risk to the general public in the event of unanticipated or accidental releases of radioactive materiel.

During 1987, as in the past Aquatec. Inc., collected all of the aquatic environmental samples, while the Chemistry staff collected the bulk of the terrestrial environmental samples (including ground water) and processed all environmental thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) for direct radiation measurements. After the initial processing, all non-TLD samples were sent to the Yankee Atomic Environmental Laboratory in Westborough, Massachusetts for further processing and radionuclide analysis.

2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILIANCE PROGRAM In this section. Table 2.1 summarizes the surveillance program as required by the plant Radiological Effluent Technical Specifications (RETS).

Table 2.2 lists the sampling stations and their specific locations with distances measured from the plant stack. Given in Table 2.3 are distances and directions relative to the center of the Turbine Building for all TLD locations. The sampling locations are shown on maps in Figures 2.1 through 2.3 and the TLD locations are shown on the maps in Figures 2.4 through 2.6.

SUMMARY

OF 1987 ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The following pages summarize the analytical results of all the I

environmental samples which were collected during 1987. Each environmental media category is presented as a separate subsection. A discussion of the sc.mpling program and results is followed by a table which summarizes the year's data for each category. The tables, for all media but Direct Rtdiation, were generated by the computer program, ERMAP. At the top of each tchie, ERMAP lists the units of measurement for each medium. The left hand column contains the radionuclide which is being reported, total number of enalyses of that radionuclide, and the number of measurements which exceeds ten times the yearly average of control measurements. The latter are classified as "non-routine" measurements. The next column lists the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for those radionuclides which have detection ecpability requirements as specified in the RETS.

Those sampling stations which are adjacent to the plant and which could conceivably be affected by the operation of Vernent Yankee are called "indicator" or "Zone 1" stations. Discant stations, which are beyond plant influence are called "Control" or "Zone 2" stations. Direct radiation (TLD) monitoring locations are subdivided into site boundary, inner ring, and outer ring (emergency response) stations.

ERMAP calculates a set of statistical parameters for each radionuclide. This set of statistical parameters includes separate analyses for (1) the indicator stations (2) the control stations, and (3) the station having the highest annual mean concentration. For each of these three groups of data, ERMAP calculatest o The mean value of all concentrations, o The standard error of the mean.

o The lowest and highest concentration.

SUMMARY

OF 1987 EhTIR0hHENTAL DATA The following pages summarize the analytical results of all the environmental samples which were collected during 1987. Each environmental media category is presented as a separate subsection. A discussion of the sampling program and results is followed by a table which summarizes the ysar's data for each category. The tables, for all media but Direct

-Acdiation, were generated by the computer program, ERMAP. At the top of each tcble, ERMAP lists the units of measurement for each medium. The left hand column contains the radionuclide which is being reported, total number of enalyses of that radionuclide, and the number of measurements which exceeds ten times the yearly average of control measurements. The latter are classified as "non-routine" measurements. The next column lists the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for those radionuclides which have detection capability requirements as specified in the RETS.

Those sampling stations which are adjacent to the plant and which could conceivably be affected by the operation of Vermont Yankee are called "indicator" or "Zone 1" stations. Distant stations, which are beyond plant influence are called "Control" or "Zone 2" stations. Direct radiation (TLD) monitoring locations are subdivided into site boundary, inner ring, and outer ring (emergency response) stations.

ERMAP calculates a set of statistical parameters for each radionuclide. This set of statistical parameters includes separate analyses j for (1) the indicator stations, (2) the control stations, and (3) the station having the highest annual mean concentration. For each of these three groups of data, ERMAP calculates:

o The mean value of all concentrations.

o The s'andard error of the mean.

o The lowest and highest concentration.

2896R/23.219

}

o The number of positive measurements (a concentration which is greater than the a posteriori LLD for that analysis) divided by the total number of measurements.

Each single radioactivity measurement datum in this report is based on a single measurement and is reported as a concentration plus or minus a one standard deviation uncertainty. The quoted uncertainty term represents only the random uncertainty associated with the radioactive decay process (counting I statistics), and not the propagation of all possible uncertainties in the analytical procedure.

Pursuant to Technical Specification Table 4.9.3 (Footnote f), any concentration below the LLD for its analysis is reported as "not detected."

These values are set to zero for averaging purposes. Where a range of values is reported in the tables of this section, values less than the a posteriori LLD for the analysis are reported as zero.

2896R/23.219

A) Air Particulate Air monitoring ctations were established at a total of six locations (five are required by Technical Specifications). Five of these locations are indicators, while the remaining one is a control station. Airborne particulates are collected by passing the air through a glass-fiber filter. These filters are collected semimonthly and held for at least 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> before being analyzed for gross-beta activity (indicated as GR-B in tables) to allow for the decay of radon daughter products. Quarterly composite air filters from each location are analyzed for gamma emitting radionuclides.

Gross-beta counts (Figure 3.1) showed random fluctuation throughout 1987 at indicator stations and controls, thereby indicating that any plant contribution was negligible.

The increase in gross-beta measurements during May and June of 1986 can be attributed to fallout from the Chernobyl accident and is discussed in Reference 1. A pump malfunction and a loss of power may have caused the high concentrations seen in Figure 3.1 at Station AP-11 in June 1986 and at Station AP-21 in November 1986.

This is discussed more fully in Reference 1. Naturally-occurring K-40 and Be-7 were also detected in many samples.

C) Milk Milk samples were collected and analyzed monthly for low level I-131 and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Monthly samples were composited quarterly and analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90 (this is not a Technical Specit'1 cation requirement). Semi-monthly sampling was done at Stations TM-14. D1-16, and 21-21 when the cows were on pasture.

Detectable concentrations of Cs-137 and Sr-90 were measured in milk samples submitted from the indicator and control locations. As shown in Figures 3.2 and 3.3, concentrations were similar to those detected in previous yeara. The detected levels are consistent with thoss measured in cow milk at other New England locations.

Such levels have been well documented and tre attributed to fallout from nuclear weapons tests, although Cs-137 levels after May 1986 were elevated somewhat due to Chernobyl-related fallout.

Differences between dairy fares can be attributed to differences in feeding practices (i.e., what the cow eats).

Cesium-134 was detected in the winter and spring samples (five samples total) at Station n!-14. Since the cows are fed only j stored feed during this time, and since Cs-134 was detected in milk and other environmental media throughout the northeastern U.S. )

following the 1986 Chernobyl accident, it can be said that the i

Cs-134 in milk was due to contaminated feed from the Chernobyl I fallout.

In addition to these radionuclides, naturally occurring K-40 was detected in all samples.

D) Mixed Vegetation l

Mixed vegetation samples were collected during May, June, August, and September.from the six air sampling locations. The vegetation consisted of various types of grasses and were' analyzed for gamma j

emitting nuclides. The results of the gamma' spectroscopy analysis.

( on each sample showed that, in addition to naturally occurring ~Be-7 and-K-40, Cs-137 was detected on one sample. The level detected in 1987 is less than those measured in previous years, which were l

shown to have originated from nuclear wecpons testing fallout.

a F) Groundwater F Groundwater grab samples were collected from.two indicator (only one is required by Technical Specifications) and one control station on a quarterly basis. These samples were analyzed for H-3' and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Additionally, gross-beta analyses were performed, although they are not required.

i The gross-beta concentrations at WG-11 were elevated for the first

' three quarttrs of 1987. No explanation for these levels has been found, although a problem with low well-water levels may have caused raised levels of radon or its daughters. No gamma-emitting radionuclides, plant-related or naturally-occurring, were detected in groundwater during 1987.

G) River Water River water is analyzed monthly for gamma-emitting radionuclides and gross-beta (not. required by RETS). The monthly. samples are f

composited and analyzed for H-3 on a quarterly basis. A composite sampler is used at_ Station WR-11 and' grab samples are taken at I ' Station WR-21.

Gross-beta radioactivity was detected in all samples during 1987.

I Considerable fluctuation in gross-beta levels at both the indicator and control'1ocations over the past nine years is evident in Figure 3.6. The mean value, however, for the indicator stations was similar to that of the control station and to that of previous years, indicating that those radionuclides detected are not fue to plant operations.

r H) Sediment f

During 1987, sediment samples were collected from two locations in May and October. Each sample was analyzed for gamma-emitting ,

radionuclides. One grab sample was collected at Station SE-11 and fifteen grab samples at Station SE-12 during May. During October, one was again collected at SE-11 and nineteen at SE-12.

Cesium-137 was detected in all samples. As has been discussed in

, previous Vermont Yankee Radiological Environmental Surveillance Reports, this radioactivity has been due to nuclear weapons testing fallout. Since there were no liquid releases during 1982 through 1987, it can be concluded that the levels of Cs-137 in 1987 f

sediment samples were due n!.so to nuclear weapons testing fallout.

This is further supported by the fact that similar levels have in the past been detected at S:ation SE-21, a control station, and at control locations at other plants. Low levels of Co-60, as well as 2n-65 and Cs-134, have been detected in samples collected at Station 12 (N. Storm Drain Outfall). This subject was discussed in previous reports.

It should be noted here that the statistics given in the following table are heavily weighed toward Station SE-12, since 34 of the 36 samples were collected there. No Co-60, 2n-65, or Cs-134 was detected at Station SE-11.

Naturally-occurring Be-7, K-40, and Th-232 were also detected in ,

I many samples.

p. I)- Finfish Finfish samples were collected from two locations during May and again in October of 1987. Each sample consisted of mixed fresh water species, generally perch and bass. All were analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides. Cesium-137 was detected in both of the samples collected at indicator Station FH-11. The levels are consistent with well-documented environmental levels caused by nuclear wenpons testing fallout. The levels for the indicator station are similar to those of the control in 1986. No other radionuclides were detected except for naturally-occurring K-40.

J) Direct Radiation Direct gamma radiation exposure wa's determined from the use of thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). Two CaF :Mn TLDs were 2

placed at each of the monitoring stations. Fifty-one sets of TLDs were read out on a quarterly schedule. Sixteen of these were located at inner ring stations and 16 at outer ring stations.

Twelve were located at the site boundary, six were at special interest locations and one was a control.

Summaries of the results for 1987 can be seen in the table below.

A complete station-by-station summary is given in Table 3.1.

In Table 3.1, the quarterly averages for inner ring stations (i.e.,

those locations that could possibly be influenced by plant operations) can be compared with those for the outer ring stations (i.e., those locations outside of the range of influence of the plant). Upon examining the quarterly exposure rates in the table, it is also evident that the inner ring exposare rates are not statistically different from those of the outer ring.

Upon examining Figure 3.10, it is evident that Station DR-45 has a higher average exposure rate than any other station. This is not surprising in that DR-45 is actually located on-site in close proximity to the plant (see Figure 2.4). Station DR-6 also had a high reading during the third quarter of 1987. Over-response of the TLDs is suspected. Panasonic TLDs from the Yankee Environmental Laboratory were co-located with the standard Victoreen during 1987. The Panasonic TLD at DR-6 during the third quarter gave a reading of 7.2 micro-R per hour.

Additionally, two TLD stations (DR-7 and DR-8) located between the plant and DR-6 had readings of 11.36 and 10.81 micro-R per hour, which is substantially lower than the 24.04 micro-R per hour at l

l DR-6.

K) In Situ In situ gamma spectrometry analyses were performed at nine locations from September 15 to 17, 1987. Gamma spectrometry measurements were performed by the Yankee Atomic Environmental Laboratory (YAEL) using a high purity germanium detector and multi-channel analyzer. Measurements were also taken with a high pressure ionization chamber (HPIC) for assessment of total exposure rates. Soil core samples were obtained at six of these nine locations and analyzed at the YAEL for comparison to the in situ analyses.

The naturally-occurring radionuclides K-40 Th-32, and U-238 were the predominant gamma-emitters, as can be seen in Table 3.2.

These, along with Cs-137, were detected in all samples including controls. The Cs-137 levels are consistent with well-documented environmental levels, and can be attributed to fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, i

4.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM Three separate Quality Assurance programs were performed during 1987 to ,

dtmonstrate the validity of laboratory analyses by the Yankee Atomic >

Environmental Laboratory (YAEL).

YAEL participates in the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison (cross-check) .

program for those species and matrices routinely analyzed by the laboratory.

This provides an independent check of accuracy and precision of the laboratory cnalysis. When the result = of the cross-check analysis fall outside of the control limit, an investigation'is made to determine the cause of the problem and corrective measures are taken.

1 YAEL maintains an intralaboratory quality control program to assure the validity and reliability of the data. This program includes quality control of laboratory equipment, use of reference standards for calibration, and enalysis of blank and spiked samples. The records of the quality control program are reviewed by the responsible cognizant individual, and corrective measures are taken whenever applicable. ,

A blind duplicate program is maintained in which paired samples from five nuclear plants, including Vermont Yankee, are prepared from homogenous ,

media and sent to the laboratory for analysis. The results from this blind duplicate program are used to check for precision in laboratory analyses.

EPA Interlaboratory and Intralaborgtory Results The Quality Assurance Program implemented at the analytical laboratory indicated good precision and accuracy in reported values. Table 4.1 shows the results of eccuracy and precision for laboratory analyses in 1987 for intralaboratcry analyses, and EPA interlaboratory cross-check analyses. For accuracy, 61.7 and 87.4 percent of the results were within 5 and 10 percent of the known values, respectively, with 96.2 percent of all results falling within the laboratory criteria of 15 percent. For precision, 86.4 and 97.5 percent of the results were within 5 and 10 percent of the mean, respectively, with 99.6 percent of all results meeting the laboratory criteria of 15 percent.

2896R/23.219 ,

The results of the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison program, when considered apart from the remainder of the Quality Assurance program, were satisfactory in 1987. One-hundred and sixty-eight analyses were performed on air particulate' filters, food, milk, urine, and water. Based upon this sample analysis total,166 analyses (i.e., 99.07.) met the EPA's definition of mean value criteria. The sample analyses that did not meet the criteria were a Ru-106 analysis in a water sample and a gross beta analyeis, also in a water scmple. A recount of the beta samples yielded measurements that met the above criteria. (Details of this may be found in Reference 2.)

Blind Duplicate Program f

A total of 49 paired samples were submitted by the five participating plants for analysis during 1987. The data base used for the deplicate analyses consisted of paired measurements of 26 gamma eritting nuclides H-3,  ;

Sr-89, Sr-90, low level I-131 and gross beta. A dual level criteria for agreement was established. If the paired measurements fall within 15 percent of their average value, then agreement between the measurements has bsen met. If the value falls outside of the i 15 percent, then a two standard deviation range (95 percent confidence level) is established for each of the '

analyses. If the ranges overlap, agreement is obtained.

One thousand two hundred and forty-two paired duplicate measurements  !

I were analyzed for 1987. A total of 99.5 percent of all measurements fell within the established criteria discussed above. The six measurements that did not meet the criteria were measurements of Ag-110m in milk Mo-99 in milk, Fe-59 in ground water, Sb-124 in estuary water, Fe-59 in seawater, and Mo-99 in mussel bodies. In all of the above cases, the radionuclide in question was not detected in the sample and a three-standard deviation accept.ance criteria was met. The six duplicate measurements represent 0.5 percent of all the blind duplicate paired measurements made during 1987. No trend was evident with respect to repeated failings of measurements for the above radionuclides.

l 5.0 LAND USE CENSUS The Vermont Yankee Technical Specifications require that a Land Use Census be conducted annually between June 1 and October 1 of each year. The census identifies the location of the nearest milk animal and the nearest ,

residence in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within 5_ miles of the ,

plant. It also identifies the nearest milk animal (within 3 miles of the plant) to the point of predicted highest annual average D/Q value in each-of the three major meteorological sectors due to elevated releases from the plant stack. - Dosimetric analyses are then carried out to determine whether any identified milk animal represents a significantly butter milk sampling-1 location than those currently being used.

The 1987 Land Use Census at Vermont Yankee was carried out between the dates of June 1 and October 1, as required by Technical Specifications. .The identified locations can be found in Table 5.1. As_a result of the dosimetric comparisons, no changes were required or made in the milk sampling locations. ,

SUMMARY

During 1987, samples collected as a part of the radiological snvironmental mon!*oring program at Vermont Yankee showed detectable levels of man-made radionuci 's in cow milk, mixed vegetation, fish, and sediment. As reported in the pas. for sediment, low levels of Co-60, 2n-65, and Cs-134 were datected in the immediate vicinity of the North Storm Drain Outfall. The radioactivity from this drain has been detected only at this location. In all other cases, the low levels detected were shown to originate from fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted during the 1970s and 1980, or from fallout from the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident in 1986. The radiological environmental monitoring program has therefore demonstrated that plant operations have had no significant impact on the environment.
