When possible in this report, any correlation of radioactivity in environmental samples with the effluent release data is discus s ed. These discussions are presented in the appropriate sample type sertion and in the summary section, II.H. Table III.A.2 lists the LLD values achievable by the counting systems used during 1987 on project samples. These value3 are given for I typical sample sizes, counting times and decay times. The LLD is, therefore, an a oriori parameter to indicate the capability of the detection system used. The LLO values in Table III.A.2 were calculated as suggested in NUREG-0472.
2 i l Throughout the report, however, when a sample result is listed as ' less than a specified value, that value is the calculated MDC (minimum detectable concentration). This approach is analogous to that of Currie (NUREG/CR-4007): the MDC is the same eas S , the critical signal, and the LLO is equal to 50 , the detectable signal. The MDC value applies to the actual sample size, counting time and decay time applicable to that individual sample. It is calculated as: MOC = 2.33 go /E Y Y E-it Where: o g = Standard deviation of background count rate E = Counting efficiency, c s'1 pCi d Y = Chemical yield V = Sample mass or volume A = 0.693/ Half-life t = Decay time between sample collection and analysis This calculation method assumes that E and Y are constants and makes no allowance for systematic error, It should be noted that we have not used the notation < MDC for values less than MDC. Rather, we report the result as less than the actual MDC value. Because the MDC is dependent upon variables such as the background count time and sample size, the value will be different for each sample type and even within sample type. Essentially all radioactivity values measured on this project are near background levels and, more importantly, near the MDC values for each radionuclide and sample type. It has been well-documented that environmental radioactivity values exhibit great inherent variability. This is partly due to sampling and analytical variability, but most
3 importantly due to true environmental or biological variability. As a result, the overall variability of the surveillance data is quite large, and it is necessary to use mean values from a rather large sample population size to make any conclusions about the absolute radioactivity concentrations in any environmental pathway. Environmental radiation surveillance data also commonly exhibit non-normal frequency distributions. Usually the data can be satisfactorily treated using log-normal statistics. However, when the number of observations is small, i.e., less than 10, log-normal treatment is tentative. The geometric means and geometric standard deviations are calculated for each sample set. If any data point measured resulted in a negative value, the corresponding MDC is used in the calculation of the log-normal statistics. (Negative values are possible due to the statistical nature of radioactivity counting.) In Section II.H. Conclusions and Summary, the geometric means and geometric standard deviations for the reporting period of 1987 are listed in Table
!!.H.2.
The arithmetic mean for each sample set is also listed in Table II.H.2. All measured values, both positive and negative, are used in the calculations of the arithmetic mean. This is the suggested practice t by Gilbert (Health Physi:s 40:377,1984) and the NRC (NUREG/CR-4007). Many sets of data were compared in this report. The statistical ] test used was eitner a "t"-test or a paired "t"-test. If data sets are i i noted to be significantly different or not significantly different, the l confidence for the statement is at the 95% level (a = 0.05). ) In this report we have footnoted appropriate tables with the ! maximum permissible concentration aoplicable to each radionuclide. We l l l t
4 have chosen to list the maximum permissible concentrations as found in Appendix B Table II of 10CFR20. This is the concentration in water or air of each radionuclide which if ingested or inhaled continuously would singular!y produce the maximum permissible radiation dose rate to a specified individual member of the general public. That value is 500 mrem / year, but must include the dose from all possible sources, and, therefore, cannot be solely due to reactor effluent. As stated in 10CFR20 these are the maximum concentrations above natural background that a licensee may relesse to an unrestricted area. It is assumed that no direct ingestion or inhalation of effluents can occur at the restricted area boundary and that dilution and dispersion decreases the concentration before it reaches nearby residents. This is certainly the case for the Fort St. Vrain environs. l There is no specified maximum permissible dose rate or dose commitment for residents near the Fort St. Vrain reactor from the reactor effluents. Such limits for water cooled reactors are found in l 10CFR50 Appendix !. These are judged as "As Low as Reasonably l Achievable" dose rates from such reactor types and, sithough not directly applicable to the Fort St. Vrain gas cooled reactor, can be used for comparison purposes. A limit that does apply is the independent maximum permissible dose commitment rate set by the E.P. A. (40CFR190) for any specified member of the general public from any part of the nuclear fuel cycle. This value is 25 mrem / year, the dose rate to the whole body fr0m all contributing radionuclides excluding ba:kground and medical radiation dose este.

e 6 II. Surveillance Data for January Through December 1987 and Interpretation of Results A. External Gamma-ray Exposure Rates The average measured gamma-ray exposure rates expressed in mR/ day are given in Table II.A.1. The values were determined by CaF 2:Dy (TLD-200) dosimeters at each of 41 locations (see Table III.B.1). Two TLD chips per package are installed at each site and the mean value is reported for that site. The mean calculated total exposure is then divided by the number of days that elapsed between pre-exposure and post-exposure annealing to obtain the average daily exposure rate. The TLD devices are changed quarterly at each location. Fading during field exposure is minimized by the post-annealing readout procedure. The TLD data indicate that the arithmetic mean measured exposure rate in the facility 6.ea for all of 1987 was 0.44 mR/ day, The mean exposure rate was 0.44 mR/ day for the adjacent area and 0.43 mR/ day for the reference area. These mean values were not significantly different from each other. The exposure rate measured at all sites is due to a combination of exposure from cosmic rays, from natural gamma-ray emitters in the earth's crust and from ground surface deposition of fission products due to previous world-wide fallout. The variation in measured values is due to true variation of the above sources plus the vai!ation due to the measurement method. The purpose of the two TLD rings around the reactor is not to measure gamma-rays generated from tne reactor facility itself, but to document the presence or absence of gamma-ray emitters deposited upon the ground from the reactor effluents. Since the inception of
.=
power production by the reactor, there has been no detectable increase in tho external exposure rate due to reactor releases. 1 The TLD system was calibrated by exposing chips to a scattered gamma-ray flux produced in a cavity surrounded by uranium mill t ilings. This produces a gamma-ray spectrum nearly identical to that from natural background measured in the reactor environs. The quality control program includes calibration before readout of each quarterly batch of TLD devices. l 4 i

e 9 II.B. Ambient Air Concentrations
- 1. Gross Beta Activity ,
The air concentrations of long. lived particulate gross beta activity measured at the facility and reference sampling sites are listed in Tables II.B.la-1d for each quarter of 1987. A-19, while technically in the adjacent zone, is only a few meters from the facility boundary and logically should be considered a facility site. It has been termed a facility site since the inception of the monitoring program. The reference sites R-3, R-4, and R-11 are all new locations as of January 1,1984 and sufficiently distant to be considered reference (control) locations. (See Table III.B.1). The reported concentrations are listed in units of femtecuries per cubic meter of ambient air, although the measured activity is due to a mixture of radionuclides. It should also be noted that the current technical specifications no longer require measurement of gross alpha activity. All filters, however, are saved indefinitely for later alpha particle analysis if needed. No statistically significant difference was found in the arichmetic mean values between the facility and reference sites during any quarter of 1987. There was also no difference between quarters as was observed during 1986 due to the Chernobyl fallout. The gross beta data for 1987 have been added to the plot of air 1 concentrations observed since 1973 (Figure 11.8.2). In this figure .?.e half-yearly mean values for the facility sites are plotted ~ith the values from the reference sites. The contribution from Chernobyl is clearly evident in 1986. It can be observed that overall mean values 1 are not significantly different and that world-wide fallout principally 1 \.
10 due to Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapon tests is the predominant contributor to the measured values. There has never been a significant difference observed between facility and reference sites. Thus, it can be again concluded that
, reactor air effluents of particulate fission products or activation products are not a source of dose commitment for the Fort St. Vrain 4
environs population. I l L

- 2. Tritium Activity Atmospheric water vapor samples are collected continuously by passive absorption on silica gel at all seven air sampling stations (four in the facility area and three in the reference area). The specific-activity of tritium in water extracted from these weekly samples for 1987 is listed in Tables II.B.2a-2d. The corresponding tritium concentration in air (pC1/m3 ) is calculated from the specific activity data using weekly mean temperatures and dew points measured at the FSV meteorological tower. The measuring point is at a height of 2 m from the surface. The tritium air concentrations are shown in Table II.B.3a-3d.
The principle release mode of tritium from the reactor is batch liquid releases from holding tanks. The tank water is first analyzed and then released with sufficient additional dilution, if necessary, in order not to exceed 10CFR20 concentration limits. The summary of tritium release by all modes is shown in Table II.B.4. The summary indicates that tritium released in 1987 was less than in 1986 for all routes. (See 1986 annual report to the USNRC). Sampling locatices F-16 and A-19 are located near the Goosequill Ditch, which is the prir.:ipal route for effluent tritium release. Tables II.B.2a-2d indicate a strong correlatior, of elevated atmospheric tritium concentrations corresponding to the batch release of tritium in water along the ditch. Due to e>aporation while in transit, elevated tritium concentrations in air have been observed for these two locations often in past yeart. The concentrations observed, however, have al. fays been below the limit of regulatory concern. The occasional elevated

values at the reference sites are assumed to be stat stically false i positive values. , The mean value for sites F-16 and A-19 were significant:v greater then for all other sites during the year. When all four facility sites are averaged, however, the total mean value is 'ess than the HDC valu9 of 250 pCi/L. Radiation dose commitment estimates are not warranted on the basis of elevated air concentration values alone. Inhalation is not a significant pathway for dose to humans. The milk and food product pathway is the only significant source of radiation dose to humans from environmental tritium. Since the same relative humidity is assumed for all sites, Table 11.8.3 shows the same site dependence on reactor effluent as Table II.B.2. i e

- 3. Concentrations of Gamma-ray Emitting Radionuclides in Ambient Air Tables II.B.Sa-5d list the concentrations of I-131 in air as measured by activated charcoal sampling and high resolution gamma-ray spectrum analysis. Each sample from the seven air sampling stations is counted within 96 hours after collection. A 100 minute count is typically required to achlave an MDC of 33 fCi/M3. Radon daughters and Thoron daughters are trapped on the particulate filter ahead of the charcoal trap. Radon-222 daughter in-growth on the charcoal does not provide interference to the region of interest fnr I-131 using the Ge(Li) high resolution spectrometry. Any positive I-131 activity is corrected for radioactive decay back to the midpoint of the collection period. Decay correction to the midpoint of the sampling period is appropriate as any I-131 in air would not arrive at the sampling stations at a constant rate, but rather in pulses of short duration compared to the collection period. This is the case whether the I-131 source term would be weapons testing fallout or reactor stack effluent.
There were only occasional positive values very near the MDC value ! and all are assumed to be false positive. I-131 concentrations due to reactor effluent have never been detected in the Fort St. Vrain environs. Table II.B.6 lists measured ambient air concentrations of Cs-134 and Cs-137. These values are from gamma-ray spectrun analyses on weekly i air filters composited quarterly from each of the seven air sampling l stations. The occasional positive Cs-137 concentrations measured are l ! likely due to resuspension of surface soil. The Cs-137 activity is due to Chernobyl (or previous) f allout which is bound by clay minerals on i i
28 the surface of undisturbed soil. For the entire year, the mean of the facility stations was not different from the mean of the reference stations. Although only Cs-134 and Cs-137 are reported, each gamma-ray spectrum is scanned for evidence of peaks from other fission products and activation products. Normally only gamma-ray activity due to the naturally occurring background radionuclides are observed. During the second quarter of 1986, however, many other radionuclides were observed due to the Chernobyl accident. Of these only Cs-137 can still be detected. 1 i e t I 1

34 II.C. Radio,1uclide Concentration in Water
- 1. ,0rinking Water t
Drinking water is sampled weekly and composited biweekly at two locations. Location R-6 is the well used for drinking water by the town of Gilcrest, Colorado, and R-3 is a water tap located on the CSU da.ey farm. The Gilcrest well is the nearest public water supply that could be affected by the reactor effluents. R-3 samples are from the Fort Collins drinking water supply and serve as a reference location since its source is run-off surface water from the Rocky Mountains to the West. Table II.C.1 shows gross beta concentrations measured in 1987 from each water supply. The mean for the Gilcrest site was again significantly higher than the Reference site in Fort Collins. This is only due to di'ferent water treatment practices. The city of Gilcrest does not filter its water and natural radionuclide concentrations are responsible for the higher measured concentrations. As can be observed in Table II.H.2, the mean for the entire year for the Gilcrest site was i not greater than in previous years. Table II.C.2 lists measured tritium concentrations in these same two drinking water sources. The yearly arithmetic mean values for both locations were less than MDC and, therefore, not statistically different from each other. No evidence of the tritium released from the reactor was observed. Figure II.C.1 shows thtc tritium concentrations in drinking (potable) water sources were less than MDC for 1987 The two drinking water supplies are also analyzed for fission ! product and activation product concentrations. A sample of 18 liters is passed through Cowex 1-x8 anion exchange resin and the resin then i
35 counted by Ge(Li) spectrometry for I-131. This same method is used for milk samples. A three liter aliquot of the original sample is counted directly for the other gamma-ray emitters. Inspection of Table II-C.3 reveals occasional positive values of radionuclide concentration. but with the exception of Cs-137, these are interpreted to be random variations. The Cs-137 is the residue from the 1986 Chernobyl accident fallout as well as from past world-wide fallout from nuclear weapon testing. l l l

- 2. Surface Water Surface water is collected monthly from four sites. Since the reactor water effluent can be directed to either river course, there are upstream and downstream sampling locations on both the St. Vrain Creek and on the South Platte River.
Table II.C.4 shows tritium concentrations measured at the four surface water sites. Most of the values were less than MDC. The arithmetic mean value for the downstream locations in 1987 was not significantly different from the two upstream locations (Table II.H.2). The elevated value coservea at R-10 on December 19, 1987 was reanalyzed and confirmed to be correct. Table II.C.5 shows measurements of fission product and activation product concentrations in surface water samples collected monthly. There were occasional positive values, but the mean of the downstream sites was not significantly different from the mean of the upstream sites during 1987 for any of the gamma-ray emitting radionuclides measured. This has been the case since the inception of reactor operations at the Fort St. Vrain site. The occasional posi:ive values are either fallout Cs-137, snich can be expected, or values close to the uncertainty limits and assumed to be false positives. In addition to the mon:nly samoling of the South Platte River and St. Vrain Creek, a continuous water sample is collected at station A-25. An aliquot of the farm pond :utlet is sampled every 10 minutes and the composite collected weekly. The weexly comoosites are then comoined and analyzed monthly. The results of these samples are shown in Table II.C.S. For every month there was evidence of measurable tritium release. Mean values for tne c:ner radionuclides were icw and except t
51 for Cs-137, less than MDC. The correlation with the effluent release report is high. Ground water is sampled quarterly at two locations. These are at F-16, a well on the farm immediately north and the closest to the reactor down the hydrological gradient, and at R-5, the Ehrlich feedlot. Table II.C.7 lists the measured concentrations of fission products and activation products in ground water. The Cs-137 results are not surprising due to residue of Chernobyl fallout, and the other results above MDC are assumed to be statistically false positive values. For comparison purposes, Table II.C.S lists the Maximum Permissible Concentration values for each of the radionuclides listed in Tables II.C.5-7.

69 II.D. Milk The dairy food chain is the critical pathway for possible radiation dose commitment around any nuclear facility. The critical individual would be an infant consuming milk produced from cows grazing local pastures. Milk is the critical . pathway for possible dose commitment to humans from environmental contamination of H-3, I-131, Cs-137 and Sr-90. For this reason milk is sampled extensively to document the presence or absence of radioactivity due to reactor operations. There are no dairies (or personal milk cows) in the facility area, 1.6 km radius. The six dairies in the adjacent area, 1.6-8 km radium, were selected as they are located in the highest x/0 areas (refer to updated FSAR). The description of these locations can be found in Table III.B.1 and Figure III.8.2. The single reference location dairy, R-8, is 22.5 km West of the reactor in the least predominant wind direction. Herd management practices are virtually identical at all dairy locations. The cows are rarely, if ever, cut on pasture and under dry-lot management typical of Eastern Colorado. Table 11.0.1 lists the concentrations of all radionuclides that are investigated in milk samples. During 1987, elevated concentrations of I-131 were again consistently observed at site A-22. The source of this I-131 is from nucle $r medicine used in the Den'ver hospitals. The I release enters the S. Platte River just North of Denver. A-22 dairy uses irrigation ditch water for its herd rather than well water. The ditch (Independence) receives S. Platte water upstream of FSV. This observation was first made in 1985 and discussed at length in the 1985 REMD summary report, l
O 70 Figure II.O.1 shows the frequency and magnitude of the I-131 concentrations observed at the A-22 dairy in recent years. The large peak observed in May and June of 1986 is of course due to Chernobyl fallout, but all other peaks are due to hospital use in Denver. Currently, we have initiated a study to investigate this observation in greater detail. A continuous water sampler is in place at the Henderson River gauging station and milk from dairies on the Platte River north of Denver will be sampled when the irrigation season starts. K-natural, as measured by K-40, is very constant in milk. The mean literature value is 1.5 g/L. K concentrations are homeostatically controlled and independent of K intake. K-nat is measured in all milk samples as a quality control measure for the other radionuclides determined in the same sample by gama-ray spectrometry, but K-nat concentrations are no longer reported in Table II.0.1. Elevated tritium concentrations in milk due to reactor effluents have never been observed in the post-operational period of the reactor. This implies the tritium from reactor effluents is not contributing any radiation dose to humans via the milk pathway. Tritium concentrations in milk should respond rapidly to changes in tritium concentrations of the forage water intake or drinking water intake to the cow. This is due to the short biological half-life for water in the cow (about three days for the lactating cow). As noted in previous reports, the reported tritium concentration in milk is the tritium in water extracted from milk. Contamination of milk samples by any radionuclide due to reactor effluents has never been observed during the operational periods of Fort St. Vrain. 1

78 II.E. Food Products Food sampling locations were selected from areas possibly irrigated by surface water downstream of the FSV discharge point or by well water from the aquifer most likely to be contaminated by seepage from the farm pond. The locations of these food product collection sites are described in Table III.B.1. One sample of each principal class of food products was collected from these locations. Locations and available produce often change due to owner needs, harvest time, harvest size, etc. Each sample is homogenized without drying immediately af ter collection. The sample is then counted by gamma-ray spectroscopy. Table II.E.1 lists the results for the 1987 harvest. No significant activity of any of the principal radionuclides was observed. The gamma-ray spectra were scanned for other radionuclides, but only the naturally occurring were observed, presumably due to surface soil deposits.

80 II.F. Aquatic Pathways Table II.F.1 snows radionuclide concentrations measured in fish samples collected at F-19, A-25 and R-10 on two dates in 1987. The fish were collected by netting and the composite sample was homogenized without cleaning and analyzed on a wet weight basis. The occasional positive values are considered to be methodological fluctuation (false positives). During the second half of 1987 fish collection efforts at R-10 were unsuccessful. Repeated sampling was conducted but no fish could be collected cefore the ice set in. Since no detectable activity was observed in fish at A-25, in the effluent pathway, it can be concluded that no activity could be present further downstream. Collection problems have been remedied for 1988. Table II.F.2 snows the measured concentrations of both Cs-137 and Cs-134 in surface sediment collected at R-10, the downstream location. There was measurable activity of radiocesium clearly due to the Chernobyl fallout. The cesium ions are bound nearly irreversibly by the clay mineral matrix in the sediment. Monitoring for Corcicula Fluminea, a species of freshwater clam, was conducted at all fish sampling sites. These monitoring dates coincided witt; the fish collection dates. Corbicula have been introduced to Nortn America from Asia. The freshwater clams are now found in large river systems in the U.S. from coast to coast. The Colorado Division of WOdlife has stated that Corbicula have been found in Northern Coloraco at Boyd Lake, some 30 miles from the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station. However, to this date, our samplings have indicated no evidence of Corbicula in any of the sampling sites of the coactor surface water courses.

83 II.G. Sample Crosscheck Program To assure the accuracy and precision of the environmental data obtained from the radiation surveillance program provided for the Fort St. Vrain reactor, Colorado State University participates in a number of interlaboratory and intralaboratory quality assurance programs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored laboratory intercomparison studies program is the principal crosscheck. This involves the analysis of a variety Gf environmental media containing various levels of radionuclides. The media, type of analysis and frequency of analysis for the EPA program are summarized below. Medium Analysis (radionuclide) Frecuency Water H-3 Triannually Water Gross beta, gross alpha Bimonthly r-Water Co-60, 2n-65, Cs-134, Cs-137 Triannually Water I-131 Semiannually Air partic- Cs-137, gross beta, Semiannually j ulate filters gross alpha j Milk I-131, Cs-137 Triannually For each radionuclide analysis of a particular medium, three independent i measurements are performed and all results are reported to the EPA. Table II.G.1 gives the EPA crosscheck data for 1987. The EPA uses the term, Estimated Laboratory Precision (ELP), calculated as one standard deviation for one determination. The normalizad deviation of our mean from the known is calculated as: l . g , ,, , y-- , , - - - - ,-----.,-.f nrowit = -s- * -- r'--w---w,---v7~w-wv*+ eew-er e w www wi e-++m-- ---'er--* v w' y- - -~t'-+~---* r 't vT - - - -- - - - ' - * - -
g4 CSU mean value - EPA known value ajn Where: o = standard deviation of the mean of all participating laboratory results n = number of analyses by our laboratory, normally n=3 The control limit is determined by the mean range of all results and three standard deviations of the range. If any result exceeds two standard deviations from the mean (warning level), the result is unacceptable. Whenever our mean value falls outside this limit, the calculations are rechecked and the sample reanalyzed if possible. During 1987 all results except 10 were within the warning level. The results exceeding the warning level have the notation (n) in Table II.G.I. The corrected values are shown in the table. The recheck process and ccnclusion are given below for these samples.
- 1. A recalibration resulted in revised counting yields that produced acceptable accuracy.
- 2. One result of the three determinations was concluded to be an
outlier" (systematic error) and omitted.
- 3. Dilution procedures were improperly conducted.
Table II.G.2 lists independent results for H-3 in water samples split between this laboratory and the Colorado Department of health, Radiation Control Division and the laboratory at the Fort St. '/ rain Generating Station. The comparison between laboratories was acceptable. l Table II.G.3 lists the results of gross beta analyses of the split water samples. Currently, procedural differences between the laboratories are being investigated for the discrepancy. i i
85 Table II.G.4 shows results of an intralaboratory crosscheck program. Replicate samples are independently analyzed. The replicate results are not statistically different and imply that the precision of the methods is acceptable. r l l l l 1 l l __

93 II.H. Summary and Conclusions Table II.H.1 summarizes the radiation and environmental
- radioactivity measurements conducted during 1987 in the environs of the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station, owned and operated by Public j Service Company of Colorado. The values for each sample type may be compared to pre-operational'and operational periods for this reactor, as ,
well as to the values from other U.S. reactor monitoring programs. It must be emphasized, however, that the mean values in Table II.H.1 are only the means of the values greater than HDC, the statistically miniiaum detectable concentration. The range also is given only for detectable measurements. The mean and range values, therefore, are not the true means or ranges if any of the values in the sample population were less than MDC. The format of Table II.H.1 is a requirement of the NRC. Inspection of Table II.H.1 reveals that there were no individual measurements except those due to release from Denver hospitals that : exceeded the Reporting Level (RL) (see Table III.A.3). The Chernobyl fallout was observable in only a few sample types. For the category of gross beta concentrations in drinking water. the mean for the Gilcrest well was again significantly greater than for , the reference supply located in Fort Collins. This difference cannot be due to reactor effluent activity for the following reasons:
- a. None of the individual fission product or activation product i
radionuclides measured were significantly higher in the j Gilcrest drinking water.
- b. Tritium concentrations measured at Gilcrest were statistically i
the same as those in . cort Collins. Tritium is the only a significant radionuclide measured in the air or water effluent j- )

94 from FSV. Since it is far more mobile than any of the specific radionuclides, if in the unlikely event that effluent activity were reaching the Gilcrest aquifer, elevated tritium concentrations would be the first and most sensitive indicator.
- c. The city of Gilcrest does not filter and treat its water to the same degree as Fort Collins. This has been verified and evidenced by the fact that the gamma-ray spectra of the suspended solids from Gilcrest water samples show elevated natural radionuclides. It has been concluded in previous '
reports that the elevated gross beta concentrations in Gilcrest ! water are due to elevated concentrations of the naturally occurring U-238, and Th-232 decay products. The suspended 1 solids are higher in Gilcrest water samples due to less l filtration of the water, i i For the category of tritium in surface water, as has been the case ! since reactor operation, elevated concentrations were noted at station A-25, the outlet of the (Goosequill) farm pond. This, of course, is directly in the principal effluent route and should be expected. Elevated concentrations of tritium have never been observed, however, in ; any human food source in direct or indirect contact with the farm pond { water. Downstream surface water concentrations of tritium have . occasionally been elevated, but there is significant dilution before any human use of this water. During 1987 elevated tritium concentrations were observed downstream on several occasions but the mean values for the first and second half of 1987 were not significantly greater than in upstream surface water.

-concentrations plotted are those for the Gilcrest city water well.
I-131 was observed again in milk samples from Dairy A-22. Because the reactor-did not release any significant fission products during 1987, the source of the I-131 concentrations in milk could not be reactor effluent. It was noted in the 1985 annual report that the sour e of the I-131 concentrations during that year was not due to the reactor but due to nuclear medicine use and release upstream of the reactor. This was an important observation as I-131 is certainly a critical radionuclide in human dose commitment possibilities, a fact of which the general public is aware. This discovery prompted increased monitoring for I-131. Upstream nuclear medicire releases of I-131 is, therefore, the only likely source of the I-131 observed again in milk samples during 1987. Cs-137 and Cs-134 and other fission products were also observed in many environmental samples due to the Chernobyl fallout. Table II.H.2 presents an additional summary of mean values for selected sample types. The sample types and radionuclides were chosen on the basis of their importance in documenting possible radiation dose to humans. Air and surf ace water would be the predominant environmental transport routes and drinking water and milk would be the predominant sources of radiation dose if significant radioactivity release from FSV occurred. Table II.H.2 also allows comparison to the three most recent a years of operation.
- The arithmetic means in Table II.H.2 were calculated for all sample results. It should be noted that the tabular data presanted in the body of this report contain only positive calculated values. Any calculated
- -96
- m. values less than zero or less than the minimum detectable concentration (MDC) are listed as less than the actual MDC for that sample analysis.
However, the actual result in all cases was used in the calculation for the arithmetic mean values for the period. Therefore, all values, negative as well as positive, were included. This procedure.is now generally accepted and gives a proper estimate of the true mean value. Because of this procedure, however, the values listed in Table II.H.2 cannot be calculated directly from the tabular values in the report. It must be emphasized that while it is true that no sample can contain less than zero radioactivity, due to the random nature of radioactive decay, I it is statistically possible to obtain sample count rates less than background and hence a negative result. It is equally true that many sample types do in fact have zero concentrations of certain radionuclides. Therefore, to obtain the correct mean value from the distribution of analytical results, all positive results must be i averaged with all negative results. If the negative results were omitted, the resulting arithmetic mean would be falsely biased high. 4 From log-normal analysis of each data set for each 12 month period, l the geometric mean and geometric standard deviations are also presented i in Table II.H.2. The log-normal probability treatment is to plot all i data for each sample type over the year on log-probit coordinates. The j samples are ranked by increasing activity concentration and the l cumulative percentage of rankings are plotted on the probit abcissa , versus the activity concentration of the log ordinate. The geometric mean value, gX , is determined directly from the 50th percentile point. The geometric standard deviation is simply the slope of the line which l can be calculated from the ratio between 84,1 percentile point and the l l l
- 97 50th percentile.
In a normal distribution, the arithmetic standard l deviation is an additive parameter to the arithmetic mean, i.e. (X+o); whereas, in the log-normal distribution the geometric standard deviation, o g, is a multiplicative parameter to the geometric mean (Xg io ). The area betweeng X multiplied by og and Xg divided by o g should contain 68% of tne frequency values. With the log-normal ' analysis, no bias results from using either actual values or less than ! MDC values in estimating the geometric mean - The geometric mean is , identical to the median. From the values presented in Tables II.H.1 and II.H.2 and the j tabular data of the report, the following observations and conclusions
! may be drawn:
- 1. Tritium was again the only radionuclide that was detected in significant concentrations in any of the effluent pathways that could be attributed to reactor operation. Since the tritium is released as tritiated water, the dilution by the surrounding hydrosphere is great. Although in 1987 a few elevated levels !
i of tritiated water could be detected in downstream surf ace i water samples, the mean values of downstream surface and 1 Gilcrest drinking water were not statistically greater than ! upstream concentrations. The tritium concentrations measured in milk produced by the nearest dairy herd were also all less than MDC.
- 2. Figure II.C.1 is a plot of tritium measured in surf ace water ,
l samples over the period 1974-1987. During the period the ! predominant sour:e term is that of fallout deposition. There i is some delay period in the peaks due to the mean residence l l L
98 4 time of tritium in the hydrosphere and input from other areas. ; Beginning in 1981, an increase can be observed in the downstream locations relative to upstream. This small increase is statistically significant, however, the radiation dose commitment the: can be calculated as a result of possible ingestion of this as drinking water was found to be negligible as compared to natural background radiation dose rates. This was discussed in the 1986 annual report. ]
- 3. As in every previous report, it was again apparent that for most sample types the variability observed around the mean values was great. This variability is due to counting statistics and methodological variation, but principally due to true environmental variation (often termed sampling error). It must be recognized and accounted for in analysis of any set of j environmental data before meaningful conclusions can be drawn.
- 4. The Chernobyl accident fallout has totally obscured what
- fission product debris has remained in the FSV environs from
)
the October 1980 Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapon test. The biosphere will contain the Chernobyl f allout for an equally long period. Nuclear weapon test fallout has since the inception of the project been noted to be the predominant l source term above natural background. It is the variation in - fallout deposition, in addition to the variation in na.turally occurring radionuclides, that mandates the large number of environmental samples to detect any possible radioactivity due to reactor effluents. A simple comparison of pre-operational and operational . slues is of little value for most sample types i
99 because the fallout deposition was considerably greater during the pre-operational period.
- 5. The prompt and sensitive detection of the Chinese weapon test and Chernobyl fallout in the past assures that the environmental monitoring program is of adequate scope and sensitivity to detect any accidental releases from the FSV reactor operation. It can be concluded from the data collected by the environmental monitoring program that the radiation dose connitments calculated for the closest inhabitants or other parts of the nea-by ecosystems due to current reactor effluents are negligible. Natural background radiatici, and the dose commitment from atmospheric fallout are the only known significant sources of radiation dose to the residents of the area.

l III. Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program A. Sample Collection and Analysis Senedule Table III.A.1 outlines the sampling design, the collection frequency and the type of analysis for all environmental samples. It should be repeated that this schedule was only adopted January 1,1984, and while different in certain aspects from the previous schedule, has as its intent the same objective. That objective is to document the radiation and radioactivity levels in the critical pathways of dose to humans. Such data is necessary to prove that reactor radioactivity effluents produce environmental concentrations that are within appropriate environmental protection limits and at the same time are as low as reasonably achievable. During 1987, R-5 is the only sampling location that was changed. The previous location was one mile South of the present location, which is described in Table III.B.1. The change was required due to the closure of the old site by the feedlot owners. All other sampling locations remained as in 1986. ) Table III.8.1 gives the description of each sampling location by number, sector and distance from the reactor. These descriptions were expanded somewhat in this report. Each of tnese sampling locations 4 l (except certain reference locations) can be identified on scale maps (Figures III.B.1 and III.B.2). Topographical maps showing greater detail, as well as photographs of principal sampling sites are on file 1
- in tne CSU laboratory, r
l During August of 1987 the land-use census was conducted to i I determine the locations of the nearest residence, the nearest milk animal, and the nearest garden producing broad leaf vegetation in each
112 of the 16 meteorological sectors around the reactor. These locations by address are shown in Table III.C.1. Figure III.C.1 shows these locations in each sector. From the 1987 census it was verified that the i closest permanent residence in Sector 16 is still the critical receptor with regards to mean annual dose commitment. No resident in the sampling sectors up to a distance of 8 km from the plant has cows or goats used for personal milk consumption. All milk produced is transported to commercial processors. The milk a 4 produced locally is diluted by a large milk shed, processed and distributed over a large area for consumption. Table III.A.2 lists the LLD concentration values for each sample type and radionuclide measured in this report. These LLD values are the actual values pertinent to the sample sizes, counting yields, and counting times used in the project. Typical decay periods were used in the calculations. It should be noted that the LLD values are in all ) cases equal to or less than those required by the technical l specifications. l l Table III. A.3 lists the USNRC reporting level for each sample type and radionuclide. l f
