1.0 INTRODUCTION
AND ASSESSMENT
SUMMARY
This report presents the results of a ground water study at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant site which was performed in accordance with the January 9,1995 Site Assessment Plan j submitted to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) by ] Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L). ) The layout of the plant facilities and infrastructure along with piezometers and monitoring wells installed as part of this study are shown on Figures 1 through 3. Two geologic units have been identified that could have been affected by a release from the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent line -- the shallow surficial soils (Yorktown silt and plant backfill) and the underlying sand (Yorktown sand). Ground water contours in these two geologic units are presented on Figures 4 and 5, respectively. Based upon the assessment of the plant site described herein, there are no imminent health hazards indicated as a result of the release from the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Line. The only mobile radionuclide released from the pipeline is tritium, which, based on the assessment, is confined to the plant site. The Site Assessment Plan transmitted to NCDEM addressed five specific issues, as follows: 1. Source and Cause of Contamination. 2. Imminent Hazards to Public Health and Safety; Mitigating Actions. 3. Receptors and Exposure Pathways. 4. Horizontal and Vertical Extent of Soil and Groundwater Contamination; Significant Factors Affecting Contaminant Transport.
2 Geological and Hydrogeological Features Innuencing the Movement, Chemical and Physical Character of Contaminants. 1.1 SOURCE AND CAUSE OF CONTAMINATION As~ discussed in the Site Assessment Plan, CP&L has assumed that the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Line was a potential source of tritium leakage. The line was promptly repaired and held pressure during a subsequent test. Tritium is considered to be the indicator parameter for ground water analyses because tritium was determined to be the only radionuclide present in the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Line with significant mobility. This has been confirmed by tests of water from Monitoring Well ESS-2C, which has the highest level of tritium found during this study, but has no concentrations of gamma-emitting radionuclides that exceed the Lower Limit of - Detection (LLD). 1.2 IMMINENT HAZARDS TO PUBLic HEALTH AND SAFETY; MmGATING ACTIONS Movement of tritium has been from the point of leakage to the plant backfill. The tritium will most likely move with the ground water from the plant backfill to the Intake Canal, and does not pose an imminent hazard to human health or the environment. ps There also is a possibility that some of the tritium could reach the underlying Yorktown sand, although monitoring well data indicate that this has not occurred at detectable l concentrations. Based on the findings of this study, tritium that reaches the Yorktown sand would be carried in a generally easterly direction toward Monitoring Wells ESS-3B and ESS-13B and the Cape Fear River. There are no potential receptors withdrawing water for potable usage for a minimum distance of 3,000 feet from the plant (Site Exclusion Boundary). j i The possibility of downward movement from the Yorktown sand was considered. However, piezometric heads in the underlying formation near the plant are several feet . higher than piezometric heads in the Yorktown sand, and consequently downward g migration to this formation is considered very unlikely. Thus, there is no imminent 3 hazard to public health and safety related to movement of tritium in the ground water in i the vicinity of the plant. ,v _ i ',,y s
3 1.3 RECEMORS AND EXPOSURE PATHWAYS No off site receptors have been identified that are likely to be affected. The primary potential exposure pathway is the Intake Canal. The Intake Canal carries water that is pumped through the plant for cooling purposes and then, in accordance with the plant's NPDES permit, is released to the Discharge Canal and eventually the ocean. There is no possibility of potable usage along this pathway. It also should be pointed out that ground water entering the Intake Canal mixes with an extremely large volume of water flowmg in the canal. This would reduce tritium concentrations to well below drinking water standards, even though the canal water is not potable. l A second potential exposure pathway is from the point of release to the plant backfill and then into the underlying Yorktown sand. The prevailing gradients in the Yorktown l sand as determined from the literature and data from the current study are in an easterly direction and are very gradual. Tritium has not been detected in monitoring wells located in the Yorktown sand downgradient from the source area. 1.4 HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL EXTENT OF SOIL AND GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION; SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING CONTAMINANT L TRANSPORT Tritium was detected in two monitoring wells completed in the backfill at the plant site. The wells were ESS-2C and ESS-16, which are located to the east side of the point where the Discharge Cooling Water Tunnels (Discharge Tunnels) pass under the plant ) security fence. All other monitoring wells in the shallow surficial materials and the Yorktown sand were negative for tritium. Thus, the detected tritium contamination is confined to portions of the plant backfill. The ground water contours shown on Figure 4 indicate that the ground water within the plant backfill will ultimately move toward the Intake Canal, as there is a positive gradient from the surrounding natural soil to the plant backfill and from the plant backfill to the Intake Canal. While vertical migration from the plant backfill to the Yorktown sand is possible based on the observed gradients, no tritium was detected in down-gradient monitoring wells in the Yorktown sand. If tritium were to reach this formation, it would be carried eastward, as indicated by the contours shown on Figure 5. 1.5 GEOLOGICAL AND HYDROGEOLOGICAL FEATURES INFLUENCING THE MOVEMENT, CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTER OF CONTAMINANTS As discussed above, there are two geological units that could be potentially affected by the release of tritium at the plant site. The units have signincantly differing hydro- \\
F 1 4 geological characteristics. The shallow surficial soils have a water table that tends to j follow surface contours and flow is normally toward surface drainage features such as rivers and streams. At the plant site, this physiography has been substantially altered by the construction of the plant itself, The soft, silty soils beneath plant were removed and replaced with compacted granular backfill. This backfill, as indicated by Figure 2, extends to the present location of the Intake Canal. Thus, the hydrogeology of the shallow surficial soils near the plant has been substantially altered. The result is that the plant backfill now serves as a drain for ground water in the surficial soils surrounding the plant. Shallow ground water flow in the vicinity of the plant is from the natural soils to the backfill and from the backfill to the Intake Canal, as evidenced by the contours of piezometric head shown on Figure 4. Therefore, tritium detected in the backfill is constrained ultimately to move toward the Intake Canal. Site measurements of piezometric head in the Yorktown sand and data from the ~ literature indicate that flow in this geological unit is in an easterly direction with very gradual gradients. There are no known potential receptors in this direction that use j potable water from this geologic unit. 1.6 REPORT FORMAT SecIion 2.0 provides a discussion of the first part (Phase I) of the field exploration and the interpretation of the ground water flow regime in the surficial materials (Yorktown silt and plant backfill) and deeper sand (Yorktown sand). Section 3.0 provides a discussion of the second part (Phase II) of the field exploration and subsequent interpretation of data obtained. The third field exploration phase (Phase III) and resulting data are presented in Section 4.0. A discussion of piezometric data and ground water flow is provided in Section 5.0. The sampling of monitoring wells and laboratory analysis of water samples is discussed in Section 6.0, and the study is summarized in Section 7.0. l l l l i j
7-5 2.0 PHASE I FIELD EXPLORATION In the Site Assessment Plan prepared by CP&L and submitted to NCDEM, the installation of 16 piezometers generally surrounding the plant (three in the Yorktown - sand and 13 in the shallow surficial materials generally referred to as the Yorktown silt) was proposed. The plan locations were chosen so as to provide baseline data for determining ground water flow gradients in these two geologic units in the vicinity of the plant. 2.1 - YORKTOWN SILT PIEZOMETER INSTALLATION Piezometers were installed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C.0108 in the shallow surficial soils on February 6,7 and 8,1995 at the locations indicated on Figure 1 of this report. Twelve piezometers were installed -- one less than the planned 13. Access to the area where the Piezometer ESS-7 was to be constructed was determined to be extremely difficult, and no piezometer was installed at this location. Installation of the piezameters and subsequent monitoring wells was performed by Richard Catlin & Associates personnel with field observation by a D'Appolonia geologist. A CP&L geologist also was present during this and all subsequent phases of the field exploration and ground water sampling. Drilling equipment used at the site was steam cleaned prior to use for this and all sub-sequent phases of site work. Equipment also was cleaned and decontaminated between drilling locations once the drillers were on site. Boreholes for the Yorktown silt piez-ometers were advanced using 31/2-inch diameter hand augers. At locations where surficial materials consisted of gravel or cobble fill, post-hole diggers were employed to advance to a depth of 2 or 3 feet. Borings were advanced to several feet below the water table until the soil was too wet to be recovered by the hand augers. Boring logs for all boreholes drilled for piezometer and monitoring well installation are provided in Appendix A. The piezometers in the surficial soils were constructed of 1 1/4-inch inside diameter (I.D.),5-foot long, stainless-steel well screens with a galvanized steel riser pipe. The piezometers were fitted with drive points and driven using a sledge hammer as much as 4.2 feet past the lowe'st sampled depth. A bentonite seal with a minimum thickness of 1 foot was placed above the top of the screen, and the boreholes were backfilled with materials brought up during the drilling. Two-inch diameter PVC casings with locking 9
m 6 caps were grouted into place at the surface to provide protection and to limit access. A typical piezometer installation is shown on Figure 6, and construction parameters and reference elevations for the piezometers are provided in Table 1. 2.2 YORKTOWN SAND PIEZOMETER (MONITORING WELL) INSTALLATION The three piezometers proposed for the Yorktown sand were installed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C.0108 to also serve as monitoring wells. These monitoring wells were installed during the period from February 13 to 16,1995. Hand augers were used to advance the boreholes for the 6 to 9 feet immediately beneath the surface so as to avoid damaging any subsurface utilities or structures, following which the borings were continued with 41/4-inch I.D., hollow-stem augers. The boreholes were advanced without sampling to the depth of the adjacent shallow piezometers (which had been continuously sampled and logged). Below that depth the boreholes were sampled at 5-foot intervals with a split-barrel sampler. The boreholes were terminated within the Yorktown sand at a point indicated by the presence of relatively coarse, clean sands with substantially increased Standard Penetration Test (SPT) blow' counts lying below a layer (s) of clayey, fine-grained soils. The monitoring wells were constructed of 2-inch I.D., flush-joint PVC riser pipe and screen. Screen sections were No. 10 (0.010-inch) slot and 5 feet in length. The materials for well construction arrived at the site in protective plastic wrap to prevent contamination prior to installation. Filter sand was placed around the well screen to a minimum height of I ft,t above the top of the screen. A bentonite seal with a minimum thickness of I foot was placed above the filter sand, and the annulus above the seal was grouted to near the surface with non-shrink bentonite cement. A locking steel protective casing and a concrete pad were installed at the ground surface. A typical monitoring well installation is shown on Figure 7, and monitoring well construction parameters are provided in Table 2. The monitoring wells were developed by bailing (with dedicated bailers and lines) or, as in the case of Monitoring Well ESS-2B, pumping. In general, water removed from the wells was observed for clarity, pH, specific conductance, and temperature. Wells were developed until the water emoved was relatively clear and the observed parameters stabilized.
m-7 2.3 EVALUATION OF PHASE I WATER LEVEL DATA Water level readings were obtained from the piezometers and monitoring wells during the field exploration. The ground water surface elevations in the surficial materials were much as anticipated prior to the study, with lows in the vicinity of the Intake Canal and Discharge Tunnels. In the Yorktown sand, Monitoring Well ESS-2 exhibited the highest elevation with slightly lower levels in Wells ESS-1 and ESS-3. This indicates ground water flow to the east, as indicated by regional gradients which show an eastward trend toward the ocean. l The ground water data were evaluated with the purpose of determining the adequacy of existing monitoring wells and, as determined to be necessary, for selecting locations of additional monitoring wells. For the shallow surficial materials, the apparent flow pathways were toward the Intake Canal and Discharge Tunnels.. Therefore, monitoring wells in the shallow soils in the vicinity of Piezometers ESS-2 and ESS-13 were recommended by D'Appolonia. These locations were on the apparent flow pathways. For the Yorktown sand, the predominant flow direction is generally in a quadrant between southeast and northeast. Monitoring Wells ESS-1B and ESS-3B are located in this quadrant and were recommended by D'Appolonia for sampling. An additional - monitoring well approximately midway between these two wells (near ESS-13) was recommended by D'Appolonia. It also was recommended by D'Appolonia that existing Monitoring Well ESS-2B be sampled. The rationale for obtaining this sample was that, if tritium were moving toward the Discharge Canal in the plant backfill, there also would be potential for downward flow from the plant backfill to the Yorktown sand. Thus, three new monitoring wells were recommended for construction by D'Appolonia: Shallow monitoring well near Piezometer ESS-2 (ESS-2C), within the backfill on the plant side of the Cooling Water Discharge Tunnels; Shallow monitoring well near Piezometer ESS-13 (ESS-e 13C); and Yorktown sand monitoring well near Piezometer ESS-13 (ESS-13B). t
8 4,;. D'Appolonia recommended that the three monitoring wells (ESS-1B, ESS-2B and ESS- - 3B) installed in February 1995 and the three new monitoring wells indicated above be sampled for tritium. These recommendations were documented in a March 10,1995 letter from D'Appolonia to CP&L. CP&L subsequently notified NCDEM that the recorrmendations would be implemented. l 1 l i l 4
I ) 9 ) 3.0 PHASE II FIELD EXPLORATION As discussed in Section 2.0, three additional monitoring wells were recommended on 1 the basis of ground water data obtained from the piezometers installed as part of the Site Assessment Plan submitted to the NCDEM. The monitoring wells were installed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C.0108 during the period of April 3 to 5,1995. I Shallow Monitoring Wells ESS-13C and ESS-2C were constructed on April 3,1995. Monitoring Well ESS-2C was located adjacent to the Cooling Water Discharge Tunnels on the side nearest to the plant (plant east side). Monitoring Well ESS-13C was located near Piezameter ESS-13(A), which had been installed in February 1995. The plan locations of these monitoring wells are indicated on Figure 2. j Construction of Monitoring Well ESS-13B was initiated on April 4,1995 and was completed the following day. The plan location of this monitoring well is shown on Figure 3. ) The Phase II monitoring wells were constructed and developed in a similar manner to those constructed in Phase I. General construction details were similar to those described in Section 2.3, and construction parameters are presented in Table 2. l The three Phase I and three Phase II monitoring wells were sampled on April 4 and 5, 1995. Details of well sampling and sample analysis are provided in Section 6.0. One sample tested positive for tritium. This sample came from shallow Monitoring Well ESS-2C, which is located just east of the Discharge Tunnels near the security fence and is screened in the plant backfill. Mr. Rick Shiver of NCDEM-Wilmington was advised of the test results on April 10 and April 13,1995 by Mr. Richard Lopriore of CP&L. The finding of tritium in Monitoring Well ESS-2C suggested the possibility that tritium could be moving along the Discharge Tunnels toward the Discharge Canal in the backfill placed around the tunnels. In order to better define this situation, seven additional monitoring wells were proposed in order to determine if, and to what extent, tritium had moved toward the Discharge Canal. The following additional monitoring wells were installed in the surficial soils (Figure 2): 1. Near Piezometer ESS-2A on the west side of the Discharge Tunnels (ESS-2D);
10 2. Near Piezometer ESS-3 on the north side of the plant (ESS-3C); 3. Near Piezometer ESS-5 at the south end (east side) of the Discharge Tunnels (ESS-5C); i 4. Near Piezometer ESS-12 on the north side of the plant (ESS-12C); 5. In front of the Administration Building (ESS-16); 6. Just east of the Discharge Tunnels on the same perpendicular transect across the tunnels as Piezometer ESS-5 (ESS-14); and 7. West of the Discharge Tunnels on the same perpendicular transect as Piezometer ESS-5 (ESS-15). Note that, in the above list, north refers to " plant north" which is actually northeast. j i j l } 6
1 11 l 4.0 PHASE III FIELD EXPLORATION Seven shallow monitoring wells (ESS-2D, ESS-3C, ESS-5C, ESS-12C, ESS-14. ESS-15, and ESS-16) were installed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C.0108 between April 25 and 27,1995. The boreholes were advanced and sampled and the monitoring wells were installed using the same methodology previously discussed in Section 2.0. Well construction parameters are provided in Table 2. The seven new monitoring wells in the shallow surficial soils were sampled on April 27,1995. The sampling and analysis protocols were identical to those employed for the previous sampling and laboratory analysis performed in Phase II. One of the samples obtained from the seven monitoring wells exhibited the presence of tritium. The sample from Monitoring Well ESS-16 (located in the plant backfill near Well ESS-2C) had a concentration of 34,400 pCill of tritium. The remaining samples tested negative for tritium. The complete results of the sampling and laboratory analysis are discussed in Section 6.0. The new monitoring wells also provided additional ground water level measurements in the shallow surficial soils, which in turn permitted refinement of the ground water contours in the vicinity of the Discharge Tunnels, as shown on Figure 4. Based on the additional information, it was determined that the ground water in the Yorktown silt surrounding the plant drains to the plant backfill and the backfill drains to the Intake Canal. A more complete discussion of ground water conditions is provided in Section 5.0 which follows. b
12 l 5.0 PIEZOMETRIC DATA
5.1 BACKGROUND
During the construction of the Brunswick Nuclear Plant, the primarily silty surficial materials at the plant site were identified as the upper part of the Yorktown Formation (Yorktown silt) and the underlying coarser and cleaner (less silty) sands as the lower part of the Yorktown Formation (Yorktown sand). Some drawings showing the plan and cross sections of the site excavation are provided in Appendix C. The surficial materials consist of interbedded and interlaminated fine sands and glauconitic silts with some clay and shells. These deposits extend to a depth of approxhnately 45 to 50 feet below the ground surface, with finer-grained beds occurring more commonly at shallower depths. Individual stratigraphic layers within the Yorktown silt are not laterally continuous across the site due to excavation for deep structural foundations. Naturally occurring depositional or erosional discontinuities may also exist in the Yorktown silt. As part of the plant construction, the soft silty materials that comprise the Yorktown silt were removed and replaced by compacted granular backfill in order to provide suitable foundation material for plant stmetures. The extent of the primary backfill in relation to current plant structures is shown on Figure 2. As can be seen from the figure, the backfill surrounds most of the plant structures and extends to the Intake Canal. The underlying Yorktown sand is, based on this and earlier studies, laterally continuous beneath the site. 5.2 SHALLOW SURFICIAL SOILS Twelve piezometers and nine monitoring wells were installed in the shallow surficial soils (Yorktown silt and plant backfill) at the site during the three phases of field exploration. The piezometers were located in natural soil (Yorktown silt) or plant backfill depending on their plan location. The plan locations of piezometers and shallow monitoring wells installed as part of the Site Assessment are shown on Figure 2; also shown are two site monitoring wells (MW-I and MW-2) that predate the current study. The approximate limits of the plant backfill are also shown on Figure 2. As can be seen from Figure 2, the backfill extends over a wide area and is shown to f intersect the Intake Canal. The horizontally-bedded clays and silty clays in the Yorktown silt cause it to be anisotropic, such that the permeability in the vertical direction is much lower than in
13 ' tw horizontal. The fine-grained deposits in the Yorktown silt support a relatively high water table, and a large downward gradient is exhibited between piezometric heads in t l the Yorktown silt and those in the underlying Yorktown sand. Within the area of the former excavation for the plant, however, relatively isotropic sandy backfill overlies the sloping sides and bottom of the excavation, as shown on the cross-section drawings presented in Appendix C. As shown on the cross sections, predominantly silty strata underlie the slopes of the former excavation, and the Yorktown sand is present beneath the excavation base. Although the plant backfill was compacted in horizontal lifts, it is apparently much more permeable than the silts, and much lower piezemetric heads are observed within the backfill than in the adjacent silts. Consequently, a relatively weak downward gradient apparently exists between the backfill and the underlying Yorktown sand. The following wells were screened within the plant backfill: ESS-2C, and e ESS-16. Both of these wells had low-level tritium concentrations. Monitoring Well ESS-2D, which is located near these two wells, did not indicate tritium. This well is located near the backfill limits and on the far (plant west) side of the Discharge Tunnels. The water level in Well ESS-2D on April 27,1995 was 9.6 feet, which indicates that the well is significantly upgradient from the plant backfill. The well is on the very edge of the backfill and the screened zone is within the Yorktown sitt. Given the relative proximity of Well ESS-2D to Well ESS-2C where tritium was found, the absence of tritium in Well ESS-2D is a strong indication that tritium is confined to the backfill and will not move upgradient into the Yorktown silt. Contours of piezometric head for the shallow surficial soils are based on data from all piezometers and monitoring wells installed during the current study, as shown on Figure 4. Ground water elevations are also summarized in Table 3. The contours indicate a large area of low (less than 5.0 feet) piezometric head corresponding fairly closely to the limits of plant excavation and backfill. Around most of the perimeter of I S
14 the plant backfill, the piezometric head rises relatively quickly to about 15 feet. The exception is the area near the southwest corner of the plant backfill where the contours rise more slowly. This is most likely due to the presence of the backfill around the Cooling Water Discharge Tunnels, which extends along the tunnels to the plant south from this area. However, the piezometric head does increase in the southward direction along the Discharge Tunnels between Wells ESS-2C and ESS-14. Therefore, shallow ground water does not migrate southward through the backfill around the Discharge Tunnels to the Discharge Canal. The piezometric contours shown on Figure 4 indicate that ground water in the shallow surficial soils surrounding the plant flows from the natural, in-situ Yorktown silt to the backfill surrounding and underlying the plant and from the plant backfill to the Intake Canal. 5.3 YORKTOWN SAND Four monitoring wells were installed in the Yorktown sand as part of the current study. The wells are: ESS-1B, ESS-2B, e ESS-3B, and ESS-13B. The locations of these monitoring wells are shown in plan on Figure 3. Contour lines of piezometric head based on water level readings measured on April 27,1995 are presented on Figure 5. Ground water elevations are summarized in Table 3. The contours indicate a gradual and relatively even gradient in a generally easterly direction (approximately plant northeast). This flow pattern is consistent with regional data and indicates that if a contaminant were to enter this hydrogeologic unit, it would tend to move toward Monitoring Wells ESS-3B and ESS-13B and subsequently toward the Cape Fear River. e
f 15 6.0 GROUND WATER SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS 6.1 SM1PLING OF MONITORING WELLS t 6.1.1 Phase II The six monitoring wells installed as part of Phases I and II of the field exploration j were purged and sampled on April 4 and 5,1995. The sampling schedule is summarized as follows: Antil 4.1995 I ESS-3B; ESS-2B; and ESS-13C. Acril 5.1995 ESS-1B; ESS-2C; and ESS-13B. Three or more well volumes were purged from each well prior to sampling. Hand bailing was used for purging the wells with the exception of Monitoring Well ESS-13B, where an air-pressure-operated pump was used. Dedicated bailers and bailer lines were used for sampling at each monitoring well in order to minimize the potential for cross contamination. The water samples were drained from the bailers into 250-milliliters (ml) Nalgene bottles. The bottles and caps were thoroughly rinsed with sample water prior to filling. The samples were subsequently delivered to the CP&L radiochemistry laboratory at the Harris Energy and Environmental Center in New Hill, North Carolina on April 6,1995. Two additional samples were obtained from Monitoring Well ESS-2C on April 11, 1995 and delivered to the laboratory in New Hill the following day. 6.1.2 Phase III The seven monitoring wells installed as part of Phase III of the field investigation were purged and sampled on April 27,1995. Monitoring wells were purged and sampled in
r l 16 the same manner as were the wells sampled on April 4 and 5,1995. The samples were delivered to the laboratory in New Hill, North Carolina on April 27,1995. 6.2 LABORATORY ANALYSIS The following subsections summarize the results of laboratory analysis on water samples obtained from monitoring wells installed at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. The memoranda prepared by the laboratory documenting the results are presented in Appendix B to this report, and the analytical results are summarized in Table 4. 6.2.1 Samples From Phase I and II Monitoring Wells The samples from the Phase I and II monitoring wells wer.nalyzed in accordance with the industry standard analytical procedure, which has been incorporated into CP&L Procedure LS-ER-1. This procedure involves the addition of sodium hydroxide and potassium permanganate to 50 milliliters (ml) of the water sample to prevent the carryover of volatile nuclides during distillation. The first 10 ml of distillate are discarded and a 5-ml aliquot of the final distillate is mixed with 13 ml of Ultima Gold liquid scintillation cocktail mix. After dark adaptation for more than one hour, the samples are counted in a liquid scintillation counter. The sample from Monitoring Well ESS-2C had a tritium concentration of 46,700 pCi/1, while the remaining samples showed no tritium. Two additional samples from Monitoring Well ESS-2C were analyzed on April 12, 1995. The first sample was divided into two parts and each portion was analyzed using the procedure described above. The tritium concentrations were 48,700 pCi/l and 49,000 pCi/1, confirming the results of the previous analysis. The second sample was analyzed for gamma activity. The results of this analysis indicated no detectable gamma activity and no detectable Cobalt 60 (with a detection limit of 8.1 pCi/l). Since most of the radionuclides in the Radwaste Tank inventory are gamma emitters, these results confirm that tritium is the only radionuclide in the Radwaste Tank inventory with significant mobility. 6.2.2 Samples From Phase III Monitoring Wells Water samples obtained from the seven monitoring wells installed in the third phase of the field exploration on April 27,1995 were analyzed in the CP&L radiochemistry laboratory in New Hill, North Carolina on April 22,1995. CP&L Procedure LS-ER- , I l
17 1 1; as described above, was used for the sample analysis. The sample from Monitoring Well ESS-16 had a tritium concentration of 34,900 pCi/l (average of three analyses). The remaining samples showed no detectable concentrations of tritium, j l l i-I I

y 18 7.0 CLOSING REMARKS In accordance with the Site Assessment Plan submitted to NCDEM by CP&L (page 3, item 4, paragraph 1) this project began with the installation of piezometers in the shallow surficial soils and Yorktown sand at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant. Installation of the piezometers occurred as planned except that (a) one piezometer could not be installed due to access difficulties and (b) the three piezometers planned for the Yorktown sand were actually installed as monitoring wells. Ground water levels obtained from the piezometers indicated flow toward the Intake and Discharge Canals in the Yorktown silt and flow in a generally easterly direction in the T 3rktown sand. Based on an evaluation of the ground water flow directions and gradie its ( in accordance with page 3, item 4, paragraph 3 of the Site Assessment Plan), the three monitoring wells in the Yorktown sand were sampled and three additional monitoring wells were installed and sampled. The new monitoring wells included a well in the plant backfill near the point where the Discharge Tunnels cross under the plant security fence (ESS-2C) and shallow and Yorktown sand monitoring wells near the Intake Canal on the north side of the security fence (ESS-13C and ESS-13B). The six monitoring wells were sampled on April 4 and 5,1995 and subsequent analysis indicated the presence of tritium in Monitoring Well ESS-2C. The concentration was 46,700 pCi/1, which is approximately twice the standard for drinking water. As the result of finding tritium in one of the monitoring wells installed at the site, installation and sampling of seven additional monitoring wells was planned in order to determine the extent of the tritium. The monitoring wells were installed during the period from April 25 and 27,1995 and sampled on April 27,1995. Only one of the seven wells exhibited the presence of tritium. Monitoring Well ESS-16, which is located in the plant backfill in front of the Administration Building and near Well ESS-2C had a tritium concentration of 34,900 pCi/1. However, Well ESS-2D, which is located on the west side of the Discharge Tunnels opposite Well ESS-2C, did not indicate the presence of tritium. The three monitoring wells toward the south end of the Discharge Tunnels were also negative for tritium and all three of these wells (one of which was in the tunnel backfill) had ground water levels substantially above the levels observed at Wells ESS-2C and ESS-16, indicating that they are not down ' l
F j L l t 19 l gradient from the plant. Thus, ground water in the area outside the plant backfill flows toward the backfill and from there ta the Intake Canal. No tritium was detected in the monitoring wel'Is in the Yorktown sand. No movement below the Yorktown sand is expected because of higher piezometric heads in the underlying formation. i i The professional services performed and findings presented herein are in accordance ] l - with generally accepted engineering principles and practices. In performing the work, l l D'Appolonia has utilized information from other sources. If additional information becomes available which may impact our findings and conclusions, we request the opportunity to review and modify our work, as appropriate. l Respectfully submitted, ?

Tritium Analyses of BNP Groundwater Samples This is a summary report of the tritium analyses of the six groundwater samples you A 'ivered to the Radiochemistry Laboratory on April 6,1995. The samples were analyzed in accordance with our Procedure LS-ER-1. This involves the addition of sodium hydroxide and potassium pennanganate to 50 ml of the water sample to prevent the i canyover of volatile nuclides during distillation. 'Ihe first 10 ml of distillate are discarded and a 5-mi aliquot of the final distillate is mixed with 13 ml of Ultima Gold liquid scintillation cocktail mix. After dark adaptation for > 1 hour, the samples are counted in a liquid scintillation counter.

SUMMARY
Scope: This special, announced inspection was conducted in the areas of the chemical decontamination of the Unit 1 Recirculation System, the licensee's Hydrogen Water Chemistry (HWC) Program, the licensee's Zinc Injection Program, the Control Rod Blade (CR') Pins and Rollers Changeout, the leakage of the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line, and the Low Lovel Radwaste (LLW) Storage Contingencies. Results: The licensee's chemical decontamination was ultimately successful. The staff of the Chemistry Department was viewed as a licensee strength (Paragraph 2). The licensee was proceeding in an appropriate manner to determine the optimum hydrogen injection rate to protect major plant components from Intergranular l Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) (Paragraph 3). l The licensee's technical evaluation of the issue of zine injection was well done (Paragraph 4). l
5 surface to allow a clear view of the operations below, was sucked into a skimmer and lodged in the skimmer surge tank for fuel pool cooling. The viewing window was recovered and there no damage to any instruments or pumps associated with the skimmer surge tank. However, the licensee began a root cause analysis of the event and would r.ot resume work until the analysis was complete. By the end of the inspection, the analysis had not been completed. The inspector concluded that the licensee was appropriately recovering from operational events to assure plant safety. No violations or deviations were identified. 6. Leak of Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line (84750) The inspector reviewed the issue of leakage of the Unit 2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line. (Refer,to irs 50-325,324/94-35 Paragraph 10). In May 1994, the licensee had performed a pres:urized hydro test of a section of the referenced line which had been repaired in July 1987. The test indicated that a leak was present because the line could not' retain the pressure of the water. The line (a three-inch diameter concrete-lined pipe) was " sleeved" using a material developed by Goodyear for this purpose (and often used in other industries, such as. petrochemicals) to extend the working life of pipes. From the source inventory, the licensee determined that tritium would be the only radioisotope with sufficient mobility to pose any potential 3roblem whatsoever. The path of migration of any tritium which may lave leaked from the line into the surrounding soil was the licensee's concern. Therefore, the services of a consultant were enlisted to study the question. The consultant's report indicated that the probable horizontal hydrological flow paths would carry any such liquid to the plant intake canal or to the plant discharge canal. In either case, the leakage would be returned to the plant and processed like other raw water for plant operations (in the case of flowing into the intake canal) or it would eventually flow into the discharge canal (its original destination) where it would be diluted even more by the large volume of water there. One other flow path was hypothesized, a downward vertical path to a relatively-porous strata of dense sand (the Yorktown Formation) and a horizontal migration from there to the licensee's property line. Even with the most rapid migration of the plume, it was estimated that several decades would pass before it got to the licensee's property line. Also, dilution of the plume from other underground water sources would be substantial. Therefore, these factors would attenuate whatever nominal radioactivity which may have originally leaked from the discharge line by several orders of magnitude, to below detectable limits, before contact with off-site receptors.
To verify the conclusions of the study as part of its corrective actions, the licensee established and presented to the State of North Carolina in January 1995 a groundwater assessment program. The plan called for: A determination of groundwater flow (both horizontal and vertical) directions and gradients by the installation of piezometers around the protected area measuring the piezametric surfaces relative to mean sea level (MSL). 1 A determination of the adequacy of the position of existing monitoring wells to intercept any tritium in groundwater that may migrate from the protected area. A determination for additional monitoring wells based upon the above assessments. A determination of the extent (vertical and horizontal) of tritium contamination by the collection and analysis of samples. In February 1995, fifteen piezameters were installed to study groundwater flow. The data indicated that the near-surface groundwater flow was found to be toward the Intake and Discharge Canals, as expected. The flow in the deep layer (Yorktown) was found to be I eastward, toward the ocean. Based on these findings, it was recommended ^ that three additional monitoring wells be installed and that monitoring for tritium be done at six selected wells. I In early April 1995, samples were collected from the six wells and analyzed. Only one well showed detectable tritium activity of 4.5E-5 microcuries per milliliter (pCi/ml). This result was confirmed with a followup sample. As a result, the licensee planned to install seven additional sampling wells in areas of backfill of the cooling water discharge tunnels, believing that the tritium may be confined to those backfill areas. The licensee planned to take and analyze groundwater samples as soon as these new wells became available. The inspector concluded that the licensee had taken appropriate action in response to this event. No violations or deviations were identified. 7. Status of Brunswick Low Level Radwaste (LLW) Storage Contingencies (86750) The inspector requested an update on the contingencies being pursued by the Brunswick management with respect to LLW long-term on-site storage and discussed those with cognizant licensee personnel. Detailed plans of various alternatives had been developed. The licensee planned to use concrete storage containers (with a steel liner) on a concrete pad. The primary location was the existing slab of the second uncompleted cooling tower while the old Solid Debris Dump was a secondary location. While

- 5. Mass /Dav Measun ments
- a. The " monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reponed. The limitation is identified as " Monthly Average"in Pan I of the
- permit,
- b. The " weekly average discharge"is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as " Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.
- c. The " maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the " maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as " Daily Maximum," in Pan I of the permit.
- d. The " average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were mponed. This limitation is defined as " Annual Average"in Pan I of the permit.

- 6. Concentration Measun ment
- a. The " average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sdnpled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measumd during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as " Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
- b. The " average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria,is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday / Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measund during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weight d by i
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as " Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit,

- d. The " average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometne mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as " Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
- e. The " daily average concentmtion" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the " daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as " daily average" in the text of Part I.
- f. The " quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quanerly Average Limitation"in the text of Part I of the permit.
- g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.
Part II Page 3 of 14 '. Other Measurements -
- a. Flow, (MOD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month.
- b. - An " instantaneous flow measurement"is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
- c. A " continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
- occurs continually without hierruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activines on the flow device.
- 8. Tvoes of Samples
- a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall con :st of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combmed proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series 'of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
- of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However,in no case may the time interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
- b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
- 9. calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number ofindividual values.
- b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number ofindividual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values..For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to x one (1).
Pm U Page 4 of 14 l

(1) of this section.
- 5. Upsets
- a. Definition.
" Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facihues, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
- b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused.by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review.
- c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that: (1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset; (2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notics of the upset as required in Part II, E 6. (b) (B) of this permit. (4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this permit.

Suspected Release of Radioactive Wastewater Carolina Power & Light Company Brunswick Steam Electric Facility Southport, North Carolina Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Cowan:
He Division of Environmental Management appreciates Carolina Power & Light Company's efforts in developing a plan for assessing the impact of a suspected release of radioactive wastewater from buried piping leading away from its radioactive waste facility. It is our understanding that although no actual release has been documented, evidence obtained from pressure testing of the piping indicates the possibility that radioactive wastewater has been released to the environment with a potentialimpact on soils and groundwater. As explained to the Division, CP&L's phased approach involves, first, gauging of groundwater levels at the selected monitoring locations to characterize the flow of groundwater movement in the vicinity of the plant. This information will be used in a i second phase of work to establish a sentinel monitoring system which will provide a means for detecting the impact of the suspected release along witn other possible releases at the facility. He Division looks forward to receiving and reviewing the results of the successive phases of your proposed study. Because no release has been substantiated, the Division will not ask for subsurface investigation within the protected area at this time. However, if subsequent information indicates a need for further analysis of groundwater impacts in the protected area, the Division may require a more intrusive examination of the protected area. l We recognize and appreciate your concerns about wellinstallation in the protected area and i will continue to work with you and your staff to avoid unnecessary drilling in this area. l P.O.

Dear Mr. Mouberry:
For your information, I have enclosed a copy of a report prepared by Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) concerning a suspected release of waste water beneath the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, located near Southport, NC. Earlier this year, an underground pipe used to routinely transfer waste water containing low levels of radioactivity to the plar.t's discharge canal, in accordance with the facility's NPDES permit, was pressure tested and found to contain a leak. The pipe was subsequently repaired, and an assessment conducted to determine if there could be any adverse impacts associated with such a release. No potential adverse effects, either on-site or off-site, were determined to exist. CP&L does not consider a release of this nature to represent a hazard to human health or the environment. The enclosed report documents this finding and provides details concerning the flow path, estimated travel time, and isotopes and activity levels associated with waste water that could have been released to ground water. This iaformation has also been provided to the N. C. Division of Radiation Protection and the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this inatter further, please call me at (919) 546-4189, or call Mr. Charlie Ross of my staff at (919) 546-6146. Yours very truly, N G. J.

Js - ~ g p ,W8 CHEMISTRY EVALUATION REPORT 94-12 ' RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF LEAK FROM THE U/2 RADWASTE EFFLUENT DISCHARGE LINE l l l~ i nem W
EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
In May 1994, an underground pipe that transfers liquid radwaste to the discharge tunnel was tested and determined to contain a leak. This line is located underneath the U/2 Transformer Yard. From this test result, it is assumed that radioactive water has leaked into the ground during past liquid discharges. There is no effect of this below ground leakage to plant site personnel or equipment. Evaluation of the off-site consequences has been performed and independently assessed by an outside consulting firm. The following conclusions are made:
- 1. Approximately 0.28% of the total liquid radwaste volume discharged over the past 7 years was conservatively assumed to be the inventory of leakage.
The predominant isotope is tritium. 2. The most probable release pathways of contaminated water to any unrestricted areas are:
- Migration laterally to the Intake Canal or Discharge Canal.
Travel time has been conservatively determined to be 21.6 years to the Intake Canal. Any detectable concentrations remaining after this time would be diluted by the canal. The released water was intended for the Discharge Canal.
- Migration vertically and then lateral.y through the Yorktown formation, an underground formation of dense sand approximately 50 feet below the surface.
It was conservatively determined that travel time to the site exclusion boundary would be 317 years. 3. In the above cases, radioactive decay, dilution and retardation would result in undetectable concentrations at the nearest unrestricted area. This leak does not impact public safety. This will not be considered an unplanned release of radioactive material from the site. Corrective actions include the following: 1. The U/2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line has been repaired and controls are in place to ensure all releases are discharged via this line until the U/1 line integrity is verified. Completed. 2. Test U/1 Radwaste Discharge Line. Due for U/1 Outage. 3/95. 3. Include this evaluation report in the site decommissioning records. Due date 9/1/94 (Completed) 4. Evaluate the need for an ongoing surveillance program for these lines and other underground lines on the plant site that have the potential for leakage. Due 10/01/94. 5. Reinstitute ongoing groundwater monitoring program for radiological analysis from existing wells and evaluate need for new sampling locations. Due date 10/1/94.

) I i Evaluation of the U/2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line Failure j 1. INTRODUCTION The U/2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line that transfers liquid radwaste to the U/2 Circulating Water Discharge Tunnel was pressure tested by Project Management personnel on 5/3/94. This piping (2-D12-571-4-153) transports water from the Detergent Drain Tanks, Floor Drain Sample Tanks, Waste Sample Tanks and the Salt Water Release Tank to the U/2 CW Discharge Tunnel for eventual release into the discharge canal. This is a 3 inch diameter pipe made of carbon steel and internally lined with concrete. The line is buried at varying depth 10-20 feet underneath the transformer yard and runs parallel and in close proximity to the U/2 Turbine Building. This line exits the Radwaste Building at an elevation of 4 feet, ascends to an elevation of 12 feet, and runs approximately 61 feet and descends into the U/2 Discharge Tunnel at 7 feet elevation. l The line was initially inspected by use of a camera inserted and routed internally through the piping. No indications of pipe degradation were observed. The line was then isolated at a point just downstream of the primary isolation valve in the -3 Radwaste Building pipe tunnel by removal of check valve D12-V28B and installation of a blind flange equipped with test ports. The opposite end was plugged at the point of entry into the discharge tunnel. The test ports were equipped with a pressure regulator, pressure gauge, and flow rate indicator. The line was pressure tested to approximately 15 psi using the potable water system. It was found that the line did not hold pressure and a pipe leakage rate of 1.12 gpm was calculated. ACR 94-0626 was generated. Controls were instituted to ensure that no further releases were made via the U/2 Radwaste Effluent Line until repairs were made. The line has since been repaired and currently controls (EC 2-94-OPS-094) are in place to snsure that all releases are made via the U/2 line until the integrity of the U/1 line can be verified. Based on the results of this test, and conservatively disregarding any vacuum effects of normal line flow and suction of the discharge tunnel, an evaluation was made that assumes a release of isotopes underground in the immediate vicinity of the effluent discharge line during periods when releases were in progress. Because of the location of the line there would be no effect of any below ground leakage to plant site equipment or personnel. Accordingly, this evaluation will focus on the potential offsite consequences of this occurrence. The potential effects of an underground radioactive release to offsite locations are a function of the concentration of the liquid, the mechanism of transport, and the rate and direction of ground water transport. 1

- 2. POTENTIAL LEAKAGE VOLUME:
Therafis no_available data to suggest the time frame when this leak may have been present. There is no underground monitoring j capability to identify or quantify any leakage from this line. j Pressure testing.has not been previously performed on this piping. Potential leakage locations were not identified with the_in-line camera inspection. The line is in a relatively inaccessible location where it is not feasible to excavate to . perform-a physicc1 inspection. Therefore, to evaluate the radiological-consequences, certain conservative assumptions are -made for the purpose of this analysis. The actual leakage is very likely-to be less than assumed for this analysis. It will be assumed that there was a thru-wall leak due to erosion of the cement lining and corrosion of the carbon steel'at multiple locations across1the pipe. It will be assumed that the leak has been present for 7 years. This time frame was selected because a leak on the same line was discovered and repaired in July of 1987 with no other leaks apparent at this time. It will be assumed that the leakage rate, determined by the test to be 1.12 gallons per minute, has existed since 1987 during periods that liquid releases were in progress. This leakage rate, determined based on pressure test conditions, should be significantly higher than any leakage during actual discharges. j From the Semiannual. Radiological Effluent Reports it was determined that a total of 2.11E8 liters of liquid radwaste have been' discharged.from the plant site during the period from the third quarter of 1987 thru March of 1994. Based on discussions with cognizant Radwaste Operations personnel, it was determined that releases are made via only one line at a time, typically through the operating unit's'line. LWhen.both units are operating, releases are made via either unit's. discharge line with~no preference for either one. -Therefore it will be assumed that 50% of the above total volume -is' released via this release line. This would result in a determined volume of 1.06E8 liters discharged through this line since July 1987. .ThereLwas a total of 2935 releases made during this time frame. Using_the same logic.as above, it will be assumed that 1467 releases were'made via the U/2 discharge-line. To determine the average volume per release: -1.'06E8 liters /1467 releases = 7.23E4 liters / release = 1.91E4 gallons per release. The maximum design flow rate-during a release is 200 gpm. The total-release time for the above total release volume: '1.91E4 gal /rel = 96 minutes / release' i -200 gpm 2 C
a r. 96 min /rel'x 1467 rel = 1.41ES minutes of total release time. . With a 1.12 gpm. leak, this would represent 0.28% of the total
- volume released from the plant over this time frame.
3. RADIOACTIVE PROFILE.0F THE RELEASED WATER: Using 0.28% of the total released volume as'a potential leakage volume, the curie content of the potential leakage may be determined. Only long-lived isotopes are considered, since short lived activity would be decayed.away long before any significant migration from the pipe could take place' Only isotopes with half lives greater than'100' days were considered. Semiannual - Report data since 1987 was reviewed for the total curies released for all' isotopes with a greater than a 100-day half life. Utilizing the: leakage rate of;0.28% calculated above, the total activity that could have leaked into the ground surrounding the dischargeLline was determined. 'From this, the average concentration for each-isotope at the point of leakage from the
- pipe was' established.

UNDERGROUND MIGRATION ANALYSIS: NOTE: l The basis.for this assessment was provided in Section 2.4.12.3 of the FSAR which is based on a 1970 engineering report of the . ground soil.and-ground water' migration conditions around the Radwaste Building by E.D'Appolonia Consulting Engineers, Inc. In addition, D'AppoloniaL(formerly E. D'Appolonia Consulting Engineers, Inc.) was contracted in July 1994 to perform a . technical evaluation of the potential migration of radionuclides . released'to;the ground water _ environment from this potential leahage source. -A.. Subsurface
Description:
The Radwaste Building is' founded at -7 ft elevation on a clayey . sand backfill which extends to about -25 ft. This backfill is underlain by very dense' fine to medium coarse Miocene sand (Yorktown formation) to about -53 ft, Oligocene deposits of hard clay and_ dense sand and finally the Castle Hayne formation at -95 f t'.. The principle source of groundwater is the Castle Hayne formation which supports an artesian head to +7 ft at the plant site. Most of the wells in_the area of appreciable yield draw from this aquifer. ' Perched water tables exist in the area and, in backfill material, could be as high as 15 ft or about eight ft above the artesian-Castle Hayne head at +7 ft. JThe natural clayey silt, of Pleistocene age, that surrounds the plant site and serves as the natural perching layer has a permeability of 1.8 E-4 cm/sec. The clayey sand backfill which encompasses the-Radwaste Effluent piping, has a permeability ranging:between 1.8E-4 and'5.4E-4 cm/sec. These permeability values are for the horizenal direction. For the natural soil layers such as the Pleistocene and Miocene, the permeability is at least 5, times greater in the horizonal direction than the vertical direction..For site backfill,_the vertical permeability is at lea;t 10 times less due to the manner in which the soil was placed and: compacted. 1 4. -s
B. Potential Migration Pathways: 'Likely migration pathways for any radioactive water that may have been released from this pipe and mixed with the surrounding ground water were' assessed based on information contained in the FSAR and the recent D'Appolonia study. Both horizonal and vertical migration from the leakage source through ground water and ground soil were considered. The tendency for horizonal migration would be parallel to the natural gradient of the area. The nearest body of water to this pipe location is the Intake Canal (o ft elevation) approximately 850-ft away. The next nearest body of water would be the Discharge Canal (+5 ft elevation) which is approximately 1500 ft away. Due to the increased distance and lower flow gradient to the Discharge Canal, only migration toward the Intake Canal will ~be considered as it would be the most conservative scenario. Movement toward Nancy's Creek north of the plant was not considered a realir ic possibility since the ground surface rises approximately 10-feet in this direction. Information contained in the FSAR, originally provided by E. D' Appolonia engineers determined that the travel rate ior' liquid in the underlying soil would be 7 ft/yr. At this rate, the migration of any liquid exiting the pipe to the Intake Canal would be approximately 120 years. However, the current study by D'Appolonia provides a more conservative travel time of 21.6 years to reach the Intake Canal based on a gradient of 0.0176 (15 ft/850 ft), maximum horizonal permeability of 5.4E-04'cm/sec, and an effective porosity of 0.25. A straight line pathway was used in this analysis, though this is improbable due to the location of plant building foundations that would require some vertical and lateral movement from a straight line. Any time associated with actual movement past physical impediments was conservatively disregarded. For the purposes of this evaluation, 21.6 years will-be used as the minimum travel time. With this long travel time, many mechanisms'would reduce radioactivity concentration including radioactive r'ecay, filtration, ion exchange and dilution in transient. Radioactive decay alone would be responsible for e]iminating most of radionuclides. An analysis was coeducted to considar the radioactivity concentrations that would be present in the liquid after a 21.6 year time period. As a further conservatism, no credit is taken for-dilution in transient with the ground water, filtration, or ' ion exchange during this migration period. S t

Factoring in the other mechanisms that would reduce the concentration over time (dilution, filtration and ion I exchange) it is clear that the concentration of these isotopes would be well below 10CFR20 limits prior to any contact with the l 6 j
c r. nearest uncontrolled water supply. Additionally, once the leakage ever reaches'the Intake Canal, significant dilution would occur. Using an~ average canal flow rate of 1250 cfs or 5.61E5 j gpm, a' dilution factor of 7.65E-08 can be rpplied to the above concentrations-resulting in a small fraction of 10CFR20 limits for any isotope that could travel this distance. This can be j seen in. Table 3 for the highest contributing isotopes. Again this does not even consider other methods of removal such as ion exchange.

Long term future use of this canal will be addressed during plant decomissioning. The consequences of vertical migration of radioactive liquid from this pipe through the site backfill were considered by D'Appolonia. It is conceivable that downward infiltration into the Miocene-age sand in the Yorktown formation could occur. The ) total 1 vertical distance from the leak point is 29 feet with a calculated gradient of 0.276. The vertical permeability is at least 10 times less than the horizonal permeability through the compacted backfill. Further vertical penetration below the Yorktown formation was discounted due to the presence of the oligocene sediments. This formation is comprised of 35 feet of lenses of clay and fine grained sand as well as 1cnses of consolidated limestone. This acts as an aquiclude isolating the ' Castle Hayne formation. Thus analysis was focused on lateral movement through the Yorktown formation. There are no domestic wells within the 3000 ft exclusion zone of the plant. Using a gradient of 0.001, a permeability value of 3.2E-3 cm/sec (FSAR 2.4.12.3) and a porosity of 0.35 and factoring in vertical travel time, the time required for migration downward from the pipe to the Yorktown formation and then laterally 3000 feet away to the site exclusion limit was determined to be 317 years. Remaining radionuclide 7 4 .>+#

However, in addition to decay, D'Appolonia considered the effects dilution and retardation on the lateral movement through the Yorktown formation. It was found that dilution would further reduce the radionuclide level by approximately a factor of 580. It is clear that the worst possible case could only result in less than detectable concentrations at the site exclusion boundary. In addition, retardation factors such as adsorbtion, dispersion, and ion exchange were considered for heavier radionuclides such as Cs-137 and Sr-90. The velocity of these radionuclides in terms of overall ground water velocity as a function of the distribution coefficient (Ke) was determined. It was found that for Ke values of greater than 5 or 10, there is essentially no nuclide movement. For soils with significant fines content, values of Ke much greater than 10 are reported. Based on this alone, it is highly unlikely that any significant movement of Sr-90 and Cs-137 from the point of leakage would even occur. Tritium would be the only nuclide with any significant mobility from the point of origin. As shown above, the concentration would be reduced to undetectable levelc after travel time and subsequent dilution in the Intake Canal. Due to the salt content, the canal would never be a usuable source of water for the public. Migration of tritium through the Yorktown formation would also result in reduction of the concentration to undetectable levels by the time any migration would reach the site boundary. 8 j
7~ 5. GROUNDWATER MONITORING Sampling and analysis of radioactivity from sample wells in close proximity to the plant landfill located on the north side of the Turbine Building have been performed in the past. Samples were collected quarterly and analyzed for gamma emitting nuclides in accordance with the BNP Environmental Monitoring Program. Samples routinely revealed no detectable concentrations of radioactivity. In addition, the State of North Carolina l independently collected and analyzed samples for gross alpha and gross beta activity and would analyze for gamma isotopes if sample results exceeded predetermined trigger levels. The sample results indicated that the effort to obtain and analyze these samples was not worthwhile and these programs were discontinued in 1990. As part of this evaluation, two sample wells on the north side of the plant were sampled on 5/10/94 and analyzed for activity. These wells would be an indicator of perched ground water activity. Results of these samples indicated no detectable activity present using the environmental LLD values. As discussed above, the horizonal migration of groundwater would parallel the natural gradient of the area, in this case toward the Intake Ccnal. The position of Well No. 2 is favorable as a sample location due to a likely migration path that water leaking under the transformer yard would take due to the impediment effect of the foundation of the Radwaste and Turbine Buildings. 6. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the pressure test results it is accepted that the j possibility of an underground leak of radioactive liquid has { existed from the U/2 Radwaste Effluent Discharge Line. Assessment of the off-site consequences was made based on several conservative assumptions, assessment of Semiannual Effluent Report data, application of accident analysis information { contained in the updated FSAR and from an independent engineering assessment from D'Appolonia. It was concluded that any leakage from this line would be contained to the restricted area of the i site for at least 20 years. Most radionuclides would be of no concern at this point because of decay alone. Additionally it j was concluded that long-lived heavier radionuclides such as Sr-90 i and Cs-137 are strongly retarded by the backfill soils and unlikely to migrate any significant distance from the point of l release. This leaves tritium as the only nuclide to consider. Entry into the Intake or Discharge Canal would not be of concern i due to dilution effects of canal flow. Regardless of the long term future use of this canal it would remain unusable as a potable water source because of the' saltwater content. Future long term canal usage will be determined at decommissioning. Potential migration underground through the Yorktown formation would reduce tritium concentration to below detectable levels by decay and dilution from dispersion of ground water flow long before it could ever reach any areas past the exclusion zone. Therefore this will not be considered a release of radioactive i i 9 L
( l l material to any unredtricted areas and does not pose an impact to the public. 7. FOLLOWUP ACTIONS: 1.
