SUMMARY
~
The Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station Unit One is located approximately 26 miles north-northeast from Stockton and 25 miles southcast from Sacramento in Sacramento County, California.
Rancho Seco Unit One began commercial operation on April 17,1975.
The single Unit is a pressurized water reactor supplied by Babcock & Hilcox.
The rated capacity is 2,772 megawatts thermal and 963 gross megawatts electrical.
This report has been prepared by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to meet the
+.ing requirements of Technical Specification 6.9.2.2, Operating License No. OPR-54.
It is transmitted to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region V.
Copies are provided to the California Department of Public Health, Sacramento County Health Department, California State University at Sacramento, Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board, local libraries, and District offices as a public document.
This report presents several types of related information including:
Summaries, interpretations, and statistical evaluations of O
the results of the radiological environmental surveillance for calendar year 1987.
Comparisons with preoperational and previous years data.
Descriptions of the elements of the radiological environmental monitoring program.
Maps of sampling locations (keyed to tables) which indicate distance and direction from the containment

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
(Continued)
Data for this report were obtained from two main sources:
CEP, the District's environmental monitoring program contractor.
Investigations by District staff.
In brief, the results of the 1987 radiological environmental monitoring program indicate the following:
Land use in the gaseous pathway is essentially unchanged.
Normal usage of Laguna Creek and Folsom South Canal water for irrigation continued.
Residents who regularly used the liquid effluent pathway for food or recreational purposes stopped using the stream system in late 1984.
Radiation exposures in the gion are unrelated to plant gaseous effiuent releases and appear to be due to local geology and the Chernobyl accident in the USSR that began April 26, 1986.
n
(
)
Air sampling data were all negative with respect to contribution by the plant.
Radioactivity in stream bed sediments and aquatic flora and fauna in the Clay-Hadselville-Laguna Creek systems is consistent with previous results.
The radioactivity is principally C:-134 and Cs-137.
There has been a decrease in radioactivity detected in algae.
No radioactivity in any environmen;. samples could be attributed to releases in the gaseous pathway.
Radiation doses which were calculated for various uses of the liquid pathway totated less than one millirem for 1987.
Results of the interlaboratory comparison were satisfactory.
The residual radionuclides in the streams downstream from Rancho Seco appear to be mixed to a greater depth in the stream sediments and are more tightly bound and les: available for uptake by the fish.
The levels of radionuclides observed in the fish appear to be related to the levels in the water, not the sediments, and to levels of stable potassium in the water, p)

SUMMARY
OF 1987 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES i
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP),
Appendix B, is designed to assMs the impact of Rancho Seco on its environment.
To accomplish the objectives of this program, j
collection and analysis of environmental samples are performed on a routine basis.
The media which.re most likely to first show changes in levels of radioactivity above natural background are sampled most frequently.
The District has committed to condeci the REMP and support measures to upgrade it.
The REMP is 'he responsibility of the Health Phy.ics / Chemistry Services (HPCS) group, formerly known 4
as the Health Physics Support and Environmental Programs (HPSEP) group.
The program upgrades, initiated in 1986, continued into 1987, and included the following:
Revision of the Technical Specifications to be consistent with Standard Radiological Technical Specifications.
Establishment of additional sampling points for all effluent pathways (see Table 11-1).
j Adoption of the "control vs. indicator" sample concept for th6 REMP.
Upgrade of tr.e air sampling program.
Improvement of sample identification and numbering system 3
Development and revision of REMP orocedures.
Establishment of REMP training for associated personnel..
SMUD made majer changes to the Sampling Program in 1987 intended to assist in the assessment of radioactivity in l
the environment due to past effluent releasti.
The entire mylual is included in Appendix B.
These changes are listed below:
The sampling sites were evaluated and categorized as indicator or control samples.
The sampling sites were renamed using an alpha-numeric numbering system that designates sample type, distance from Rancho Seco, and the Cardinal sector where the sample site is located.

SUMMARv 0F 1987 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES (Continued)
An additional sampling site for runoff watar was added to the sampling program.
Three additional surface water sample sites were added to the sampling program.
An additional well water sample site was added to the sampling proaram.
Eight additionel mud and silt sample sites were added to the sampling program to increase the surveillance of the liquid effluent pathway.
Five soil sampling sites were added to the sampling program.
This is the first time that soil has been routinely collected.
Four of the sites are in locations affected by liquid effluent releases.
The fifth location is a controi location.
Five additional fish sampling sites have been added p
to the sampling program.
Theses additional locations are the major sampling locations that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories have monitored as part of special environmental monitoring studies at Rancho Seco.
Fish samples will be collected at these sample sites when they are available.
Two garden sites were constructed on Rancho Seco property to provide human vegetation samples. One site will primarily monitor the gaseous exposure 4
pathway.
ihe other site will be watered by the plant liquid effluent and will provide information about the liquid exposure patnway.
Seven additional algae sampling sites were added to the sampling program.
Four additional pasture vegetation sample sites were added to the program in areas irrigated by the liquid effluent releases.

SUMMARY
OF 1987 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEILLANCE ACTIVITIES (Continued)
Four sample sites were added for the collection of frogs and crawfish when they are available to increase monitoring of the liquid effluent pathway.
The analyses of several sample types were changed to reflect a more discrete analysis. Gamma scans and specific I-131 analysis replaces some of the gross beta screening methodology.
Section III of this report provides data obtained from the 1987 REMP operation.
The data includes interpretation, trending, and conclusions for each sample edia.
Section IV of this report provides an assessment of Rancho Seco's effect on the environment during 1987.
The calculation of the radiological impact to man is discussed in this section.
Appendix A presents the results of the 1987 land use census conducted by the District.
It includes land use census data expanded to a 50 mile radius.
The 50 mile radius land use j
(3 census was conducted in support of the Updated Safety Analysis
()
Report (USAR).
Appendix B describes the sampling and analysis program (including maps) that support the REMP.
Appendix C contains the results of CEP's (the District's environmental contractor) participation in the inter aboratory comparison program.
Appendix 0 provides a list of environmental samples that were not collected in 1987 as required by District procedures and/or i
Technical Specifications.
The samples missed were due to circumstances beyond the District's control.
Appendix E presents the missing data from the 1986 Annual Radiological Environmental Report.

DATA INTERPRETATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS HDTE: Reportable levels are found in Table B-3.
Reportable levels are levels at which the NRC requires notification and at which CEP is required to notify SMUD.
A.
Air Samoles Air samp*es were collected weekly from eight fixed monitgr locations.
Typical volumes range from 20000 to 24000 ftJ.
The air flow is directed through a particulate filter followed by a radioiodine cartridge (activated charcoal).
The volume of air sampled is measured by a dry gas meter attached downstream of each sampler.
The purpose of these samples is to monitor the gaseous effluent pathways for iodine and particulates.
Each week the particulate filters are analyzed for gross alpha and beta activity and are composited quarterly and analyzed for gamma isotopes. Additionally, individual samples are analyzed for gamma isotopes when the gross beta levels exceed 10 times the control sample value.
The charcoal cartridges are analyzed for Iodine 131.

Results Gross Beta Gross Beta activities for the year 1987 ranged from 0.005 '
to 0.055 pCi/m3 Mean quarterly averages were consistent with previous years data.
Gross Beta activities for the year 1986 ranged from 0.006 to 0.142 pCi/m3 The 1986 data reflects the increased activity due to the Soviet Union's Chernobyl accident.
Gross Aloha No gross alpha activities were detected during the year 1987. Gross alpha activities ranged from 0 to 0.007 pC1/m3 during 1986. Hith the exception of one sample in the 4th quarter of 1984 (0.005 pCi/m3), no otiier gross alpha activities have been found in air particulates since C'%d the date of initial criticality.
Gamma Soectrometry The air particulate composite samples for.the year 1987 showed no gamma activity of interest (i.e., fission-corrosion products).
This is consistent with the 1986 results.
Iodine 131 Radiciodine was detected at one air sample location during the fourth guarter of 1987.
The indicated activity was 0.009 pCi/m3 During 1986, radioiodine activity ranged from 0 to 0.689 pCi/md.

The collection period of highest mean gross beta activity during the fourth quarter oi 1987 was 10/12/87 to 10/19/87 (0.050 pCi/m3).
The collection period of lowest mean gross beta activity during the pCi/m3) quarter of 1987 was 12/7/87 to 12/14/87 (0.015 fourth One sample located at SHUD headquarters indicated radiciodine activity of 0.009 pC1/m3 This activity could not be due to Rancho Seco, since the plant was not in operation during 1987.
In summary, the radioactivity detected via the airborne p) radioactivity monitoring network at Rancho Seco in 1987 L
Iwas well below any of the regulatory action levels.
Mean weekly gross beta activity observed during 1987 is consistent with recent historical data with the exception of the second quarter 1986 with increased activity due to the Soviet Union's Chernobyl Accident, and the China weapons fallout detected in late 1981 and early 1983.
Figure i shows the mean weekly gross beta activity from 1980 through 1987.
No gross alpha activities have been detected in air particulate samples in 1987.
No gamma activity of interest (corrosion-fission products) was detected in the air particulate quarterly composite samples in 1987.

Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD)
Thermoluminescent dosimeters were exchanged on a quarterly basis from 64 fixed monitor locations.
Forty three (43) of these locations were established in the fourth quarter of 1980, location 63 was established in the third quarter of 1981, and location 64 was established in the fourth quarter of 1987.
Each location has two TLD. badges each with three (3) calcium sulfate chips at each location.
The purpose of these dosimeters is to monitor direct radiation and provide data for analysis for each sample site. The results of the analyses are compared to the effects of Rancho Seco Operations.

Alcae In 1987 algae samples were taken from eight locations chosen to reflect liquid effluent releases to the environment. The locations are at the liquid effluent outfall at the site boundary west of the plant, Hadselville Creek near the Folsom South Canal, the site reservoir, Laguna Creek, the confluence of Clay and Hadselville Creeks, and a sump 0.7 miles west of containment.
Samples are scheduled on a quarterly basis but are obtained on an as available basis.
Grab samples of algae are a mixture of algaes including but not limited to the following:
Diatoma, Gonphoenema, Nitzschia, Spirogyra, Synedra, Fragelaria, Navicula, Microspora, Chlorococeum, Vethrix, Zygnema, and i
Tabillaria Varies.
Algae samples are analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides.
Gamma Soectromettv Analysis Method:
Wet sample, Marinelli Beaker Counting System:
Intrinsic Germanium and GeLi Spectroscopy System: Nuclear Data Computer based Gamma Spectroscopy System Results i
During 1987, thirty six (36) samples were collected.
Algae samples are collected and analyzed because they have the ability to concentrate radionuclides such as Cs-137 and Cs-134.
Algae are sensitive indicators of stream effluents even though they are not part of the direct food chain.

Gamma :pectroscopy of algae samples resulted in identifying the following gamp'r emitters:
Cs-134 with a range of less than detectable to 0.441 pC1/g, Cs-137 with a range of less than the lower limit of detection (LLD) to 2.06 pCi/g, arid Co-60 with a range of less than detectable to 0.433 pC1/g.
l Gamma spectroscopy of algae samples during 1986 showed levels of gamma emitters which are greater than those fourid in 1987.
In 1987 the Cs-134 levels ranged from i
0.545 to 4.78 pCi/g, Cs-137 levels ranged from 3.11 pCi/g l
i to 18.2 pCi/g (dry), and Co-60 levels ranged from 1.01 to 6.59 pCi/g.

During 1987, 96' routine animal vegetation samples were V
collected and analyzed by gamma spectrometry.
Gamma activities ranged from less than the lower limit of j
detection (LLD) to 1.724 pCi/5 (wet) during 1987.
The only isotope identified was Cs-137 with a maximum value of 1.724 pCi/g (wet).
In 1986, gamma activities ranged from sess than the lower l
limit of detection (LLD) to 3.60 pCi/g (dry).
The isotopes indicated in 1986 and their maximum values were as follows:
i Cs-134 0.95 pCi/g (dry)
Cs-137 3.60 pCi/g (dry)
Co-60 0.72 pC1/g (dry)
Conclusion Routine sample analyses indicate activities which are less than previous years data.
Analysis of samples from the Clay Creek area indicate the uptake of radionuclides from past plant releases which were exnected based on the 3
previous LLNL studies.

Edible Aauatic Fauna (Continued)
Results ELsh The routine collection of fish from the Clay Creek effluent stream was initiated in 1985.
Preoperational data are too heavily influenced by atmospheric weapons testing to allow meaningful comparison. During 1987 thirty-nine fish samples were collected and analyzed.
During 1987 the gross beta less potassium-40 concentration ranged from 0.89 pCi/g to 9.36 pCi/g.
The concentrations are consistent with the past few years.
Potassium-40 concentrations in fish ranged from 2.94 to 21.32 pC1/g (dry) in 1987.
During 1986 these levels ranged 2.76 to 15.4 pCi/g.
Gamma spectrometry resulted in identifying the folic, wing gamma emitters: Cs-134 with a range of less than detectable to 0.93 pC1/g, and Cs-137 with a range of less than the lower limit of detection (LLD) to 5.94 pC1/g.

Hud and Silt (Continued)
Results During 1987, forty seven (47) mud and silt samples were taken.
Gross Beta ranged from 0.19 to 8.41 pCi/g (dry). Gamma activities observed included Cs-134, Cs-137, Co-60, and Hn-54. - Cs-137 activities (the primary gamma emitter) ranged from less than detectable to 15.8 pC1/g (dry). The range of Cs-134 was from less than the lower' limit of detection (LLD) to 2.16 pCi/g (dry) and Co-60 ranged from less than detectable to 2.74 pC1/g (dry).
Four samples had concentration levels of Mn-54 ranging from 0.024 to 0.109 pCi/g (dry).
Conclusions Levels during 1987 were comparable to samples from 1985 and 1986.
The low levels combined with limited O-preoperational data make S comparison unmeaningful.
This is especially true since the preoperational data had high St-90 level due to nuclear weapons testing.
I-131, Nb-95, Cr-51, Ag-110m, Zn-65. Rh-106, Be-7, Zr-95 were observed in 1984 but were not detected during 1985 and 1986.

Hater Hater samples were collected both on site and in the vicinity of Rancho Seco.
Sample types include surface, runoff, well, and drinking water.
Runoff water was collected biweekly and was analyzed for Gross Beta (dissolved and suspended), Tritium, Iodine-131, and gamma emitting nuclides.
Surface water was collected monthly and was analyzed for Gross Beta (dissolved and suspended), Tritium Iodine-131, and gamma emitting nuclides.
Well water was collected quarterly and drinking water was collected monthly.
Both are analyzed for Gross Beta, Tritium, Iodine-131, and gamma emitting nuclides.
One liter samples are counted in a Marinelli Beaker.
The sample is then put through a membrane filter.
The filtrate is then recounted to determine dissolved gamma activity.
The suspended gamma activity is determined by subtraction of the dissolved activity from the total activity.
The membrane filter is then counted for gross beta.
The gamma filtrate is evaporated and counted for dissolved gross beta.
Tritium is determined by liquid scintillation counting of 3 ml of water.
Iodine is determined by carbon tetrach'ioride extraction using standardized iodine carrier.
The iodine is then back extracted using hydrazine.
A precipitate of AgI is then formed and counted.

RANCHO SEC0 NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION IV.
RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONS A.
Radioloaical Imoact - Gaseous Effluent,.1 No measurable activities due to the toutine operation of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station have been observed by the air sampling program during 1987. As a result, no radiological impact can be inferred from the measur,ements.
This is supported by the following:
1.
No directly detectable activities above background have been correlated with plant operation. All measurements for gross beta, gross alpha, radiciodine, and gamma spectroscopy have not been able to detect quantities above normal background, except as associated with the Chernobyl event.
2.
Actual plant release data indicate on a calculational basis (i.e., X/Q calculations) that current plant releases are unlikely to be detected with the current X/Q values, plant releases, and system sensitivities for lower limits of detection.
3.
Results below system detectabilities have been consistent with plant history.
Positive levels of radionuclides associated with nuclear weapons testing i
and the Chernobyl event have been observed.
4.
The proper operation and detectability for the air sampling systems can be inferred from the good aareement of natural background measurements.
j B.
Radioloaical Imoact - Licuid Effluents The potential radiological impact of_the liquid effluents i
from Rancho Seco is traced to 4 paths:
consumption of aquatic foods swimming and shoreline usage of the streams i
irrigation of crops with subsequent ingestion by e
humans irrigation of food crops or pasture with subsequent consumption of meat by humans.

ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT 1987 RANCHO SEC0 NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION IV.
RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONS (Continued)
Consumotion of Aauatic Foods and Swimmina and Shoreline Usage Estimates of the impact of this path are derived by evaluation of doses for a hypothetical family with freshwater aquatic food intake in the range of previous studies for persons in the Pacific region (Ru80) and modified with the results of the 1987 Land Use Census (Nu 87).
Results of the liquid effluent land t e survey indicate that no Rancho Seco area residents use the C ar and Hadselville stream system, but allowance for farmers neai 7e shoreline is included.
Consequently, it is inapp.opr bte to assess dose for these residents.
Swimmina and Shoreline Usaae of the Streams The stream usage factors for the hypothetical family are presented in Table IV-1.
This table uses the land use census data for consumption of freshwater fish and stream usage from Nu 87.
Crayfish and frog legs were not identified, and are consequently not used.
The remaining source terms were derived from data presented in Regulatory Guide 1.109, b)
The source terms for the hypothetical family were obtained by V
using the average values for sections of the stream system downstream from 3.0 km.
The length of the stream from the site boundary out to 4.6 km has been posted with "No Hunting, No Fishing, No Trespassing" signs and usage has been significantly reduced since 1984. Observations indicate that there has been a significant reduction in the fish populations, as reported by personnel with scientific cellection permits.
Table IV-2 presents source terms for the hypothetical family.
Doses were calculated in accordance with the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.
The doses are presented in Table IV-3.
Irrication of Croos with Subseauent Inaestion In the downstream distance beyond 4.6 km, crops are irrigated from the stream system by subscribers of the Galt Irrigation District.
Some crops such as wheat and rice, could be directly ingested by humans. Although unlikely, because the crops are raised for market, the dose to an individual whose grain intake is composed solely from these fields is evaluated.
Usage is shown in Table IV-1.

The source term was obtained from the average of water concentrations at Folsom South Canal and downstream. The source terms are presented in Table IV-2.
All other factors are taken from the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.
The resulting dose equivalent estimates are presented in Table IV-3.
Irriaation of Pasture With Subseauent Inaestion of Meat Beef cattle are pastured on land formerly irrigated by Clay Creek between the plant outfall and the site boundary. One sample was taken from a beef pastured in this area.
Radionuclide concentrations are presented in Table IV-2.
The usage parameters shown in Table IV-1 are taken from the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual for the maximally exposed individual.

Summary During 1987 any impact on the environment possibly from Rancho Seco operaticed fontinues to be overshadowed by the contamination associated with the 1985 Chernobyl event.
Additionally Rancho Seco was in cold shutdown during all of 1986 and 1987.
The results of analyses indicated compliance with 40CFR190, Fuel Cycle Dose.
Gaseous Effluents j
The results from the TLD program indicate that no correlation can be made with respect to sector-weighted releases even at close distances.
The conclusions from analysis of the air sample results are similar, although the air sample coverage is much less than the TLD coverage.
Anomalies occur in the TLD readings. Anomalies at the protected area boundary have been traced to storage of radioactive waste in the vicinity.
The geology of the area leads to the hypcthesis that distant anomalies are p) due to naturally-occurring radic3ctive materials, as shown y
by E. G. & G. fly-overs in 1974 and 1986.
l Licuid Effluents The results of end renmental samples taken in this pathway indicate that a total body dose equivalent of less than 0.5 mrem could se received by a hypothetical individual who occasionally eats aquatic fauna from the stream.
A hypothetic11 maximum individual who obtains all his grain intake from irrigated crops would have received a dose equivalent of less thsn 0.5 mrem during 1987.
An individual whose sole meat intake is from beef with radionuclide concentrations similar to the sample might receive a dose to the tc.aximum organ of less than 1.0 mrem per year.
The land use census clearly demonstrates that the grain crops are processed and distributed via cooperatives, wholesalers and retail grocery chains.
Few local residents consume these grains exclusively, m

ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT 1987 RANCHO SECO NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION LAND USE CENSUS The land use census is currently composed of:
Identification of the nearest milk animal, nearest residence and nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet in each of the 16 sectors within a five-mile radius (in accordance with Technical Specification 3.23).
Interviews of residents living near Rancho Seco who use the Clay-Hadselville-Laguna Creek system to determine extent of use of this stream system.
Review of documents to determine items such as irrigation water obtained from the Clay-Hadselville-Laguna Creek system.
Review of county population projections.
The results of the first element are presented in Table A-1.
These data indicate that changes during 1987 principally involve residences which are a greater distance from Rancho Seco.
Interviews to implement the second element continued into 1987 to obtain information on the 1986 usage.
Information into May 1986 indicates that residents in the Rancho Seco area stopped using the stream system for fishing, frogging, swimming, and other recreational purposes in November-December 1984.
With the cooperation of local landowners, Clay and Hadselville Creeks were posted with "N0 HUNTING, NO FISHING, NO TRESPASSING" signs in December 1984. Access is limited in the areas of downstream distances less than 4.6 km.
The District continued the program to inspect the Clay /Hadselville Creek areas on a limited basis.
The purpose of the inspection is to determine whether persons are trespassing on posted private property, particularly to fish.
During 1987, no anglers were observed in the posted area, but on several occasions litter was found which suggests anglers may hele been in the area indicating limited use of the stream.
From the interviews and inspections, it appears at the time of this report that no regular use is made of the stream system by residents near Rancho Seco.
Any use of the stream system (at less than 4.5 km) is confined to occasional users who stop at the California State Route 104 bridge.
Data were obtained from the Galt Irrigation District for all irrigation users along Laguna Creek.
These users, identified by alphabet code, quantities of water, areas irrigated, and crops are in Table A-2.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION:
1 PAGE 4 0F 27 1.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MeifT0 RING PROGRAM BASES The Rancho Seco Unit One Technical Specifications, Section 4.26, state in part that:
"The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program required by this specification provides measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from station operation.
This monitoring program thereby supplements the radiological e f fl uen t monitoring program by ve ri fyi ng that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected."
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District and the Rancho O'd Seco Nuclear Generating
- Station, to ensure that this requirement is
- met, have instituted a
Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) which this manual serves to implement. The REMP is based upon the guidelines of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, i
Section 106 (10 CFR 20.106).
That R e g u l a t o r.r basis and associated guidelines have been the foundation of the REMP and its programmatic elements which:
1.
Provide the technological basis of, and the_ instruction for, monitoring the site and environs for radioactivity of all sources, including; a.
naturally occurring background b.
releases during normal operations c.
operational occurances and postulated accidents d.
weapons testing and major nuclear accidents which contribute to detectable radioactivity in the environs.
2.
Provide the means to verify the effluent control program of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station.
3.
Meet minimum limits for detecting radioactive elements in samples collected from the
- environs, or direct measurement s in the field.
1 4
Provide measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure
- pathways, i.e.,
- liquid,

- gaseous, and direct radiation, and for those radionuclides, i.e.,
iodine, cesium, and cobalt, which lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of individuals resulting from station operation.
2.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is under i
the cognizance of the Chief Executive Officer, Nuclear, witn the responsibility for the administration and oversight of the program assigned to the
- Manager, Environmental Protection.
The design of the program is consistent with the intent of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, Section 106, "Standards for. Protection Against Radiation". To implement these requirements, the Technical Specifications, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual and Health Physics Implementation Procedures have been developed. The implementing procedures address specific areas of emphasis in the program that O-require direct attention and/or specified step-wise progress for completion.

2.1 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM PARAMETERS The monitoring and sampling aspects of the program-have been established after three major factors were determined, which are:
Identification of the effluent release pathways, Identification of the human exposure pathways, Identification of the land usage parameters by the population within a ten mile radius of the site.
Three principal
.elease pathways exist at Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station, which are:
Gaseous Effluents discharges from the waste gas system for the reactor building
- stack, auxiliary building
- stack, miscellaneous water evaporator stack and the auxiliary grade level vent.
Liouid Ef fluents di scharges which are released from the retention basins via the waste water disposal system (regenerant hold up tanks (RHUT) A and B].
Direct Radiation radiation that enanates from radioactive material contained within tanks other containers which are within the site coundary to humans outside o f the site boundary.
The pathways to human exposure :o radioactive materials in the effluent release pathways from Rancho Seco are:
Gaseous Inhalation of airborne radioactive material by
- humans, or by animals that inhale and retain the material in animal products eaten by the public, i.e. meat or milk.
3 Consumption of radioactive particulate material
- which, although carried by air i

Exposure from being immersed in
. air containing radioactive materials a s.
a gas and/or particulates.
Exposure to the direct radiat-ion from radioactive materials that have been deposited onto surfaces from airborne releases.
Liouid Drinking of water from the release pathway by humans, or by animala that are a food source for humans.
l The consumption of fish, shellfish or other O
animals t '.i a t have eaten fish or shellfish taken from water 'within the liquid release pathway.
The consumption of animal meats or products of animals that have eaten vegetation that have been irrigated with water from the release pathway.
The consumption by humans of fruit or vegetation grown in soil irrigated with water 4
from the release pathway.
Direct Radiation The exposure to radiation emitted from i
radioactive materials within the Rancho Seco sire boundary. Sources include, but are not limited to, the Borated Water Storage Tank, Reactor Coolant St rage
- Tank, and the Radioactive Waste Storage Area.

REVISION:
1 PAGE 10 0F 27 2.2 ANALYSIS OF EXPOSURE PATHWAYS Exposure pathways are analyzed through a systematic process which identifies a sample medium or organism that is found in the effluent pathways, for which usage factors can be determined and will suitably represent biological concentration, retention or uptake which may u l t _i m a t e l y represent a contribution to human exposure. The pathways to human exposure are evaluated through the analysis of data obtained from the performance of a land use census.
The performance of the land use census is required by the Technical Specifications Section 4.27. The analysis of the e f fluen t and exposure pathways enables the selection of sampling and monitoring locations that fall into one of two
- classes, those which
- are, and those which are
- not, influenced by e f fl uent pathways. Those in the pathways are referred to as indicator locations.
Several of the unaffected locations are selected to represent control locations.
baseline or Indicator locations provide data from the surrounding O'
environment that may be influenced by the operation of the plant because they are nearby, downwind or downstream in the release pathway. Such data can be used to calculate doses to humans to verify t i, e degree of compliance with 40 CFR 190, using methodology contained in the 00CM. (This is referred to as the Real Individual Exposure. The Real Individual is defined as any person who participates in activities that result in that person being in the actual pathways for offsite dose. A Real Individual who, based upon the land use census, is expected to receive the maximum offsite dose to real individuals, may be used to calculate doses to demonstrate compliance with 40 CFR 190).
Control sample locations are to provide data that should not be influenced by the operations of Rancho Seco.
These locations are selected based upon the distance from the plant, being upwind, or upstream of the release pathways.
Data from these locations help discriminate between Rancho Seco releases and other natural or manmade events that may impact human exposure.
At Rancho Seco, potentially radioactive liquid e f fl uen t is discharged into Clay Creek, Continuously, a minimum flow of 5000 gallo.1s per minute of non-radioactive water is released above the discharge point. The continuous minimum flow and A
the liquid radicactive effluent release are the major V
ef fluent release pathway, and hence exposure pathway for the

1 PAGE 11 0F 27 station during normal operations.
Prior to the minimum release rate being established, Clay Creek was a seasonal
- stream, formed as the c o n fl u e nc e of three and one half square miles of drainage runoff upstream of the site. The-now continuous flow of Clay Creek intersects Hadselville Creek North and West of California State Highway 104.
Hadselville Creek intersects Laguna Creek just East of the Folsom Canal.
Laguna Creek flows into the Consumnes River approximately 20 miles from Rancho Seco.
Hadselville and Laguna Creeks are also seasonal streams and also receive irrigation runoff during periods when irrigation is used.
Because these streams are the major release pathway for liquid e f fl uen t s from the
- site, the majority of recent program enhancements have focused on this effluent pathway.
The gaseous pathway analysis is also related to the land use census. This pathway is not confined by creek banks, but is subject of the meteorological conditions during the time of the release.
This presents the requirements of having indicator and control sampling stations more evenly distributed with particular attention to those areas of greater population dansity. While not the major release nor s
exposure
- pathway, recent improvements in monitoring this i
pathway have been instituted.
s The direct radiation exposure pathway is the least likely pathway for the exposure to plant radiation by humans. It is the most easily measured with the use of thermoluminescence dosimeters, which monitor continuously and passively.
The dose is integrated over three months to accumulate a
statistically significant exposure. The vast majority of the dose integrated by these detectors is aelivered from primordial elements in the geological surface of the Earth, which happen to contain naturally radioactive elements. A smaller fraction af the dose is delivered by cosmic radiation which has penetrated the Earth's atmosphere.
2.3 IDENTIFICATION OF SAMPLING AND MONITORING SITES AND SAMPLES Sampling and monitoring sites and the samples collected from them, must be identified with a concise designation. This has been accomplished using the following methodology:
To establish the Utility identification, the letter "R" has been chosen. Therefore all samples from the Rancho Seco begin with the letter "R".
e N
Next, that portion of the identification related to the type of sample is made with a two letter designation, u
RA010 LOGICAL UVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION:
1 PAGE 12 0F 27 i.e.,
AS = Air Sample. A complete list is contained in Table 1.
A group of digits follows the Sample type.
These indicate the straight line distance from the center of containment.
For distances less than ten miles, the figure is to the nearest tenth of one mile.
For distances ten or more miles the figure is to the nearest mile. Distances are measured with the use of U.S. Geodetic Survey maps.
Following that is a letter designation which specifies the identification letter corresponding with one of the 16 wind sectors as identified in the Emergency Response
- Plan, i.e.,
"H".
Emergency Response Plan Wind Sectors are defined in Table 2.
The final character is the letter "0" which designates the sample as being one collected after the p l a r. t was declared operational.
O Thus, a Rancho Seco Air Sample, collected at ten miles from the plant in Emergency Plan Wind Sector "H" after operational status was established would be identified as:
RAS 10H0.
To complete t1e identification
- process, each sample label has a date as part of the sample number, followed by 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time, written as:
MM/DD/YYYY-HHmm, or specifically, if the sample was collected in December, on the 15th day in 1987 at 5:15PM, then the above sample would be identified as:
The present system of identification has been incorporated in preference to the system originally used to identify samples and sites.
There is a
necessity to retain the ability to
- identify, and continue to use data
- from, previously collected samples.
The former identification O
designation is shown in parenthesis under the currently used one.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION:
1 PAGE 13 0F 27 2.4 REPORTING RESULTS OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The requirements for reporting radiological envi_ronmental data are specified in the Technical Specifications, Section j
6.9.2, Environmental Reports.
Those subsections-which require supporting data from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Address the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report and the Semi-annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Technical Specification Section 6.9.5, Special
- Reports, is made specific in HPIP 2050, Radiological Environmental Reports. Specified therein are conditions requiring special
- reports, and reporting i
requirements in days for submittal.
This includes those
.l calculations to provide rapid assurance of the degree of compliance with 10CFR50 Appendix I,
and 40CFR190 i
calculations after releases of any_ origin.
2.5 SELECTION OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING LOCATIONS In conjunction with the data base established from the land a
use
- eensus, the requirements of the Technical Specifications, and the guidance described in Section.2.0 of this Manual, the selection of sampling and monitoring sites was performed. These were chosen to provide for at least the minimum number of indicator locations specified in Technical Specifications, Section 3.22, Table 3.22-1.
For those locations to be classified as indicator sites, data is gathered from the land use
- census, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Ranch-Seco Study Reports, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Study Re, ts, and from additional sampling sites from which materials have been collected and determined to be candidate sites.
Presently, a sufficient number of control sites have been selected and are not anticipated to be increased in number.
Environmental themoluminescence dosimeters are placed more uniformly around the environs of the site.
These devices passively monitor radiation in the immediate environs. Data from TL0s is trended to establish variations which are influenced by
- seasonal, meteorological, local and global sources.
TL0s will also respono to radiation in the effluents of the plant if they pass in near proximity.
The TLD Program is operated entirely by Rancho Seco.
The data is included in each Quarterly Envirar,mentel Report.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION:
1 PAGE 14 0F 27, Sample locations for the collection of the flora and fauna are concentrated in the liquid effluent pathway to the West.
Representative samples of all the pathways and. suitable locations are established in all directions.
Air samplers are distributed to achieve a sampling of air from major wind directions across the site.
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program maintains at least those minimum sampling locations and type' of samples as required to' meet the Technical Specification requirements listed in Table 3.22-1. Many sample types and locations have been added to enhance characterizing the radiological environmental impact of Plant operations. The increased sampie locations and types in this manual, will be will be maintained unless it is determined that they are no longer useful or necessary data sites. The number and type will not be reduced below those stated in T.S. 3.22-1.
Two special sites that have been established are vegetable gardens maintained by site personnel. One is established at the site boundary alongside the Clay Creek, and irrigated qQ with water from the ef fluent stream.
These data are considered essential for comparisons to' vegetation not irrigated with effluent stream water for determination of bioaccumulation for soil types common to the environs. The second garden is at the North of the site, and is irrigated with domestic water. Washed vegetable from this sight will be compared to the Lite l,oundary washed vegetables for the comparison studies. Linwashed Samples will be taken from this garden to evaluate possible airborne materials to the North of the site via the gaseous ef fluent exposure pathway.
All of the locations s e '. e c t e d for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program, present and future, are designated in Table 3
for environmental samples.

Dear Ed,
N Enclosed is a Table of data, just completed, showing a comparison of radionuclide results in cores collected in August 1986 and Octocer 1984.
The cores were collected from an irrigation pond off Hadselville Creek on the w
property of G. Silva, 6.0 km from Cancho Seco.
A diagram showing the location of the pond relative to other geographical features is enclosed.
The analysis of the sediment was completed too late for inclusion in _the recent UCIO Report (UCIO-20963).
The results from the 1984 corc were published in UCID-20298, p.
34.
Note, however, there was an error in the reported area (0.001257 sq. m) of the core.
The correct value should be 0.002425 sq. m.
I show this comparison to support several points raised and discussed in UCIO-20963.
The' concentrations (pCi/g/ of 137Cs and 134Cs in the surface 10 cm of sediment cecreased (as they did everywhere in sediments from 'tne creek.s) between 1984 and 1986.
The sediment column inventory (PCl/m2) however, changed only slightly during the 1.83 year period between the two collections.
If the 1984 results are decay corrected to Augutt 1986 (values snown in the Table), the inventories of 137Cs, 134Cs, and 60Co are nearly identical to the measured inventories.
The surf ace concentrations decreased
~N
[b as a result of mixing niin lesser contaminated sediments bu: there has been little riet cnange in the total sediment inventory.
This reinforces the need to comolete some detailed analysis on sections of cores fr09 the cifferent creeks.

Page two Ed Bradley 3/30/87 137Cs in the_ flesh More important, howevEr,'is the fact that concentrations of of catfish from this pond decreased from 5.1 -pCi/g in Feb. 85 to 0.18 pCi/g in Aug. 86 (see Table 5, UCIO 20963, data f rom Station R 52; labelled incorrectly 137 s in fish in most direct contact C
as Station RS-52.)
The concentration of with thz sediments decreased oy over an order of magnitude while the sedimen.
inventories essentially remained unchanged.
This suggests the concentrations I37 s from sediments) are C
bound to the sediments (and food components deriving playir.g much less a role in maintaining fish body burdens
'an previously assumed.
If true, the source of 137Cs accumulated by fish must bebhewater (and/or the food organisms deriving body burdens from the water).
Therefore, if low concentrations can be maintained in water, the concentrations of I37 s C
b( l o'w'regardless of the levels and inventories in the in fish will sediments. He will try to reinforce this finding with the appropriate data from our sampling program this year.
Also, thank you for the July-Dec. 86 semi annual report.
Using the data in the above and in your Jan.-June 1986 report, I compute that the mean concentration of 137Cs in water released frota the plant over the year was 0.08 pCi/1.
Note on page 27 of UCID 20963 Part 1,
the mean concentration we determined in solution it Station RS-17 over the period sampled in 1986 was 0.05 0.04 pCi /1.
I consider these values to be in good agreement.
The

results again confirm the ef fectiveness of the liquid-ef fluent control program.
