ENCLOSURE RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT JANUARY 1, 2011, THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2011 I.
INTRODUCTION The Radiological Environmental Operating Report provides a summary and data interpretation of the Palisades Nuclear Plant (PNP) Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) as conducted during the 2011 reporting period. This report was prepared in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Sections IV.B.2, IV.B.3, IV.C, and Technical Specification 5.6.2.
II.
NON-ROUTINE REPORTS No reportable events occurred during this reporting period.
III. DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS A.
Air Samples There were 260 air samples collected and analyzed for gross beta and 1-131. Air iodine/particulate samples are collected weekly from five air-sampling locations. Air is metered into the sampling unit at an approximate one cubic foot per minute flow rate through a 47-mm air filter (air particulate) and an air iodine cartridge. Both filters are in-line with each other and housed within the same filter holder. Weekly samples were sent to GEL Laboratories for analysis.
Analysis of the airborne particulate sample data, between the four near-site indicator locations and the control location, demonstrated no statistical difference. The average concentration of gross beta for both indicator and control locations were 0.050 pCi/m3 and 0.046 pCi/m3, respectively. The indicator location 5PR had the highest average concentration of 0.061 pCi/m3.
There were 11 positive indications of 1-131 during the report period.
These occurred between 3/19/11 and 4/8/11 on various air stations, including the control. The average concentration of 1-131 for both indicator and control locations were 0.066 pCi/m3 and 0.122 pCi/m3, respectively. The indicator location 4JS had the highest average concentration of 0.095 pCi/m3* The reporting level for 1-131 is 0.9 pCi/m3.
These were attributed to the Fukushima Daiichi event that occurred in Japan on March 11,2011. This is supported by the fact that the control values were higher than the four indicator station results. This is further supported by the fact that the DC Cook REMP air stations and milk sampling program also detected 1-131 during this time frame. All other Page 1 of 13
1-131 activity results were below the minimum detectable concentration (MDC) levels.
During 2011, effluent samples obtained from PNP REMP air stations, including control, identified detectable concentrations of 1-131 that could be related to Fukushima Daiichi event from March 11, 2011, through approximately March 20, 2011. The concentrations detected were above levels historically observed for the plant's operational status during that period. Concentrations returned to those historically observed levels after April 9, 2011. Given the events of March 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, and the subsequent trans-Pacific transportation, it is reasonably concluded that the slightly elevated concentrations detected at the PNP REMP air stations are attributed to the Fukushima Daiichi plant releases.
B.
Lake Water (Surface Water)
Palisades' Lake In (Indicator) and Ludington (Control) lake water samples were collected daily and combined into monthly composite samples. One gallon each of Palisades Lake-In and Ludington Lake-in composites were sent to GEL Laboratories for monthly analysis for gross beta and tritium.
No treatment of the water samples with preservative is required.
No statistical difference was found between the indicator and control location samples and no PNP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)
Appendix A, reporting limits were exceeded. The gross beta mean values for the indicator and control locations were 5.42 pCi/L and 4.43 pCi/L, respectively. Tritium was not detected in any indicator or control samples.
There is no ODCM reporting criterion for gross beta; if gross beta activity is > 10 pCi/L, then a gamma analysis is performed. Sample results remain slightly higher since 2008 due to a change in vendor performing analyses and how positive results are determined when each activity is compared to its listed minimum detectable concentration.
C.
Drinking Water Palisades' Domestic Water and South Haven Municipal Raw Water (Indicators) and Ludington (Control) water samples were collected daily and combined into monthly composite samples. One gallon each of these composites were sent to GEL Laboratories for analysis and analyzed for gross beta and tritium. No treatment of the water samples with preservative is required.
One South Haven Raw Water sample and two Ludington Control samples had gross beta concentration greater than MDC. The average gross beta concentrations for Ludington Control sample was 4.43 pCi/L and the Page 2 of 13
South Haven Raw Water concentration was 3.75 pCi/L. Tritium was not detected in any indicator or control sample. There is no ODCM reporting level for gross beta; if gross beta activity is > 10 pCi/L, then a gamma analysis is performed. Sample results remain slightly higher since 2008 due to a change in vendor performing analyses and how positive results are determined when each activity is compared to its listed minimum detectable concentration.
South Haven Raw Water sample from October experienced sample container breach during transit and the entire sample was lost.
CR-PLP-2012-2964 documents this loss of sample.
D.
Milk There are no dairy farms meeting the sampling criteria of being within eight kilometers (km) of PNP. Because of a lack of dairy farms, PNP analyzes broad leaf vegetation samples as a substitute for milk sampling.
E.
Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLD) - Gamma Dose Environmental gamma doses are measured quarterly by placement of TLDs at designated locations. Sensitivity for the TLDs is 3 millirem, with a linear response of 1 millirem to 50 rem.
The PNP direct radiation monitoring program consists of TLDs placed at 23 locations. There are ten inner ring TLDs, one on-site TLD, nine outer ring TLDs and three control TLDs located in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Dowagiac.
Ninety-two TLDs were collected and analyzed during 2011. The on-site TLD is included with the inner ring (site boundary) TLDs for evaluating any dose effect that could be attributed to PNP.
The TLD data evaluations were performed by comparing the inner ring TLDs and the outer ring TLDs against the control TLDs.
The quarterly average gamma readings in mrem were:
Inner Ring 9.7 Outer Ring 11.4 Control 11.5 The highest average reading was observed at outer ring location number 2 with a value of 14.5 mrem and a maximum reading of 16.41 mrem. The average control dose, 11.5 mrem, plus 2 standard deviations was 13.9 mrem. No Inner Ring reading exceeded this amount. This Page 3 of 13
demonstrates that there was no direct radiation effect due to PNP operations.
Note: TLD readings are lower in 2011 than in the previous two years. This is due to the TLDs being analyzed by a different vendor who subtracts transit dose. However, it should be noted that the critical aspect of environmental TLD monitoring is the comparison between indicator and control TLD dose in the same monitoring period - more so than the comparison from one year to the next.
F.
Crops Two principal area crops, apples and blueberries, were collected.
Approximately 1 kg of sample is placed in a plastic bag for shipment to the vendor for analysis. No special treatment of the samples with a preservative is necessary.
Blueberries and apples were collected at indicator station 4-JS (3.5 miles SE). There was no activity detected in the crop samples except for naturally occurring K-40 in both berry and apple samples.
G.
Sediment Sediment samples are collected semi-annually from a location Y2 mile north of the plant along the waterline. No treatment of the samples with a preservative is necessary prior to shipment to the vendor for analysis.
There was no activity detected in the sediment samples except for naturally occurring K-40, Bi-214, Pb-212, and Pb-214. Note: Historical pre-operational environmental data for sediment samples could not be located.
H.
Fish Fish samples are collected semi-annually. Samples consist of species of commercially and/or recreational important species near the plant discharge area. Control samples are obtained in an area not influenced by plant discharge. Each one-liter quantity of fish sample is frozen for preservation for shipment to GEL Laboratories for analYSis.
Four fish samples were collected in the vicinity of PNP and one control sample was collected from Ludington Pumped Storage Facility. Cs-137 was detected in four PNP samples with an average concentration of 13.9 pCi/kg, and in three Ludington samples with an average concentration of 23.0 pCi/kg. The reporting level for Cs-137 in fish is 2000 pCi/kg. The control sample that was obtained in 2011 was not Page 4 of 13
shipped to the vendor for analysis in a timely manner. This allowed for the sample to spoil and it was not shipped or analyzed. 2010 control data was used in lieu of current control data. This is documented in CR-PLP-2012-2785.
I.
Broad Leaf Vegetation Various different kinds of broad leaf vegetation in the South and SSE sectors along the site boundary were sampled monthly during the growing season. Similar broad leaf vegetation samples were obtained in the NE sector approximately 9 to 18 miles distant from the plant. Sample sizes are 1 kg per sample - nine samples total per month. Samples were sent to GEL Laboratories for gamma isotopic and lodine-131 analyses. No treatment of the samples with a preservative is necessary.
This sampling was completed for the months of June through September.
Thirty samples were obtained. Cs-137 was detected in 9 of the 20 indicator samples. The average Cs-137 concentration was 52.2 pCi/kg.
The reporting level for Cs-137 is 2000 pCi/kg. Cs-137 was detected in 1 of the 10 control samples. The average Cs-137 concentration was 13.6 pCi/kg. The reporting level for Cs-137 is 2000 pCi/kg.
The following documentation is provided from Condition Repot CR-PLP-2011-2205, corrective action 24, evaluating Cs-137 concentration in the environment Twenty samples were obtained, 10 of broadleaf, and 10 of sediment/soil.
Sediment samples were obtained from the same location as the leaves.
These samples were obtained approximately 10 to 40 miles from PNP in several different sectors. The leaves of oak and/or maples were targeted in areas where the trees looked to be in the 40 to 50 year old range. The sediment samples were obtained from the topsoil (top 0.5 to1 inch of soil).
GPS coordinates were obtained at the sample locations. The following provides this information:
1 10/31/11 at 1335 predominantly fallen and attached maple leaves, GPS coordinates are 42.41662N and 86.16771 W.

10 10/31/11 at 1825 predominantly fallen oak and maple leaves, GPS coordinates are 42.58925N and 85.99632W.
These samples were submitted to GEL Laboratories for gamma spectroscopy analysis. Natural radionuclides Be-7, K-40, TI-208, Pb-210, Pb-212, Pb-214, Bi-214, and Ac-228 were identified in various samples.
Natural radionuclide results are not evaluated for this action.
The positively identified radionuclides and concentration follow:
- 1. Sediment, Cs-137, 568 pCi/kg. Broadleaf, none detected.
- 3. Sediment, Cs-137, 65.5 pCi/kg. Broadleaf, none detected.
- 4. Sediment, Cs-137, 124 pCi/kg. Broadleaf, none detected.
- 5. Sediment, Cs-137, 123 pCi/kg. Broadleaf, none detected.
- 6. Sediment, none detected. Broadleaf, none detected.
- 7. Sediment, CS-137, 174 pCi/kg. Broadleaf, none detected.
In accordance with National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Releases Report No. 154, "Cs-137 in the Environment: Radioecology and Approaches to Assessment and Management," the primary source of Cs-137 in the biosphere is atmospheric nuclear weapons testing by the United States and the former Soviet Union from the 1940s to the 1960s. Of the roughly 2.73E7 Curies of Cs-137 released to the biosphere, -90% (2.45E7 Curies) was produced by atmospheric testing. Approximately 6% (1.64E6 Curies) was produced by the Chernobyl accident and roughly 4% (1.09E6 Curies) by nuclear fuel reprocessing facilities. Because of the chemical properties of cesium, it is readily transported through the environment and food chain. When in solution it can be efficiently taken up by plants and assimilated by animals because of its chemical similarity to the essential nutrient, potassium.
DC Cook Nuclear Plant, which is located approximately 25 miles to the south of PNP, conducted a Cs-137 soil study and determined that an Page 6 of 13
"average" background for Cs-137 was 171 pCi/kg in soil. Due to the fact that the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) for sediment (180 pCi/kg) is larger than the LLD for food (80 pCi/kg) it is conceivable that broad leaf could be positive even while not having any indication from sediment. Positive indication of Cs-137 in broadleaf samples has occurred at DC Cook Nuclear Plant also. It has been attributed to uptake by the plant and deposition on the leaf surface.
Table 5.12 to NCRP Releases Report No. 154 provides a list of crops, soil types, and concentration ratios. This table indicates that there can be substantial differences in these ratios due to soil types. Since local soils typically have a combination of these, the uptake can vary, as is evidenced by the sample results provided here. The ratios of the sample data supplied here vary from 0.03 to 0.75. This could result from a variety of items ranging from topsoil movement through meteorological conditions, or man interfacing from as far back as 30 years ago, which could be unidentifiable today (e.g. fill dirt disposal).
In conclusion, there is ample documented evidence that Cs-137 exists in the environment from activities 25 to 50 plus years ago. Cs-137 has a 30.17 year half life so there is still plenty of the originally estimated 2.45E7 Curies left in the biosphere. Cesium is readily transported through the environment due to its chemical properties. When in solution (during rainfall events) it can be efficiently taken up by plants. The evidence presented here documents the fact that there is a fairly wide ranging span of Cs-137 concentration in the environment that is far enough away from the site to not have been deposited there from plant effluents.
J.
Non-Routine Samples Six monthly samples were taken from the closest commercial well water at the seasonal Palisades Park housing subdivision south of PNP. Another six samples were taken from the community well, of which there are two cross-tied sources, at the seasonal Palisades Park facility also. Tritium and beta results were less than minimum detectable activity for all samples obtained.
K.
Gaseous and Liquid Radwaste Effluent Composite Samples Gaseous and liquid radwaste effluent composite samples are collected and analyzed on site and by GEL Laboratories. No special sample treatment with a preservative is required prior to laboratory analysis. The monthly liquid effluent composite sample is produced from samples collected from each batch release. I he gaseous radwaste effluent weekly composite sample results are based on analyzing weekly stack gas filters.
Page 7 of 13
Although not a direct reporting component in the PNP Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report, results of the gaseous and liquid monthly radwaste effluent composite samples are evaluated against overall environmental trending data. This evaluation is the basis for determining isotopic dispersion and deposition patterns within the surrounding environs of PNP. All gaseous and liquid effluent results are compared to the PNP Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM),
Appendix A, reporting levels.
IV.
ASSESSMENT OF PALISADES OPERATION ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In reviewing the 2011 PNP radiological environmental monitoring data, and comparing it to previous operational and pre-operational data, all trending parameters continue to indicate that the operation of PNP has minimal environmental impact. Most isotopic activity is at environmental background levels. Evidence of an overall environmental isotopic buildup (attributable to plant effluents) remains negligible as well. The positive Cs-137 results detected in sediment, broadleaf, and fish samples are attributed to atmospheric weapons testing and Chernobyl accident source term.
