RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 4 OF 31 0.0 POLICY The Sacramento Municipal Utility Distnct (SMUD) and the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station recognize their responsibility to comply with the Technical Specifications and the applicable regulations, codes, standards and industry-wide criteria for establishing and maintaining a viable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. We are committed to operating the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station in such a manner that will assure proper radiation protection to all employees, contractors and the general public. To this end, we have committed to performing an environmental sampling program which meets the intent of the applicable regulations while providing an accurate assessment of the radiological environment in and around the environs of the Rancho Seco site. | |||
1.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM BASES The Sacramento Municipal Utility District and the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station have instituted a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) which this manual serves to implement. The REMP is based upon the information contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, Section 1302 (10 CFR 20.1302). That Regulatory 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 occurrences 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 radiological effluent control program of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station. | |||
: 3. Meet minimum limits for detecting radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environs or direct measurements in the field. | |||
: 4. Provide measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure pathways, (i.e., liquid, gaseous, and direct radiation), and for those radienuclides, (i.e., | |||
cesi'im, and cobalt), which lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of individuals resulting from station operation. | |||
i RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 5 OF 31 | |||
- This Manual contains the minimum requirements for tne conduct of the Rancho Seco Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). The requirements are consistent with USNRC regulations, the Branch Technical Position (BTP), Radiological Effluent Technical - | |||
Specifications (RETS) for PWRs (NUREG-0472), and the Rancho Seco Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications (PDTS) as Administrative Controls. | |||
2.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is under :he cognizance of the Nuclear | |||
- Plant Closure Manager, with the responsibility for the administration and oversight of the program assigned to the Radiation Protection / Chemistry Superintendent (RP/ Chem Superintendent). | |||
The design of the program is consistent with the intent of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, | |||
' Part 20. " Standards for Protection Against Radiation" Section 1302. To implement these requirements, the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications, Off site Dose Calculation Manual Health Physics Implementing Procedures, and Surveillance Procedures have been developed. The implementing procedures address specific areas in the program that require direct attention for completion. | |||
2.1 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM PARAMETERS The monitorinn and sampling aspects of the program are: | |||
. Identificu, w v me effluent release pathways, e= identification of the human exposure pathways, | |||
. - Identification of the land usage parameters by the population within a two mile radius of the site. | |||
Three principal release pathways at Rancho Seco Nuclear Station, are: | |||
Gasegu_s EffluentE Discharges from the Reactor Building Stack, Auxiliary Building Stack, and the Auxiliary Grade Level Vent. | |||
Liould Effluents: | |||
Dischargas which are released from the retention basins via the waste water disposal system (Regenerant Hold Up Tanks (RHUT) A and B). | |||

._ I RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL l REVISION 10 PAGE 6 0F 31 l Direct Radiation: | |||
Radiation that c.T,anates from systems or radioactive material contained within tanks or other containers which are within the site boundary to humans outside of the site boundary. | |||
The pathways to human exposure to radioactive materials in the affluent release pathways from Rancho Seco are: | |||
Gaseous e Inhalation of airbome radioactive material by humans, or by animals that inhale and retsin the materialin animal products that are consumed by humans, i.e., | |||
meat or milk. | |||
. Con:iumption of radioactive particulate material which, although carried by air currents, is deposited onto or is taken up by water sources or plants consumed by humans, or by animals that provide products that are consumed by humans, i.e., milk or meat. | |||
* Exposure from being immersed in air containing radioactive materials as a gas and/ or particulates. | |||
* Exposure to the direct radiation from radioactive materials that have been deposited onto surfaces from airbome releases. | |||
Liaujd e Drinking of water from the release pathway by humans, or by animals that are a food source fcr humans. | |||
. The consumption of fish or other animals that have eaten fish or shellfish taken from water within the liquid release pathway. | |||
. The consumption of products of animals that have eaten vegetation that have been irngated witn water from the release pathway. | |||
. The consumption by humans of fruit or vegetation grown in soil irrigateu with water from the release pathway. | |||
Direct Radiation | |||
. The exposure to radiation emitted frora radioactive materials within the Rancho Seco site boundary. Sources include, but are not limited to, the Borated Water Storage Tank, Demineralized Reactor Coolant **orage Tank, the Interim Onsite Storage Building (IOSB), and the Independent Sr ,nt Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). | |||
RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 7 OF 31 | |||
. - The exposure from being immersed in the release pathway water, to radiation emanating from material contained in the water. | |||
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. Usage factors are determined that will suitably represent biological concentration, retention or uptake which may ultimately 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 pedormance of the land use census is required by the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications Section D6.8.3b.2. The analysis of the effluent and exposure pathways enables | |||
-- the selection of sampling and monitoring locations that fallinto one of two classes, those which are, and those which are not, influenced by effluent pathways. Those in the pathways are referred to as indicator locations. Several of the unaffected locations are selected to represent baseline or controllocations. | |||
Indicator locations provide data from the surrounding environment that may be influenced by the operation of the plant because they are nearby, drenwind or downstream in the release pathway. Such data can be used to calculate doses to verify compliance with 40 CFR 190, using methodology contained in the ODCM. (This is referred to as the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, The MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is defined as any individual except when that individualis receiving an occupational dose. A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC who, based upon the land use census, is expected to receive the maximum off site dose to realindividuals, 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 effluent is discharged into Clay Creek. A continuous flow of Folsom South Canal water is released above the discharge point. The ccatinuous minimum flow and the liquid effluent release are the major effluent release pathway, and thus the exposure pathway for the station during normal operations. Prior to the minimum release rate being established, Clay Creek was a seasonal stream, formed as the confluence 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 Califomia State Highway 104. Hadselville Creek intersects Laguna Creek just east of the Folsom South Canal. Laguna Creek flows into the Cosumnes River approximately 20 miles from Rancho Seco. . | |||

- PAGE 8 OF 31 Hadselville and Laguna Creeks are also seasonal streams and also receive irrigation' runoff | |||
' during periods when irrigation is used. These streams are the major release pathway for liquid effluents from the site. | |||
The gaseous pathway _ analysis is related to the land use census. This pathway is not confined 4 i- by creek banks, but is subject to the meteorological conditions during the time of the release. | |||
While not a significant release nor exposure pathway, weekly air sampling is performed to determine the dose due to radioactive gaseous releases. | |||
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 thermoluminesence | |||
- dosimeters, which monitor continuously and passively. The dose is integratoo over three | |||
? months to accumulate a statistically significant exposure. The vast majority of the dose . | |||
: Integrated by that,e detectors is delivered from primordial elements in the geological surface of | |||
- the Earth, which contain naturally radioactive elements. A smaller fraction of the dose is delivered by cosmic radiation which has penetrated the Earth's atmosphere. | |||
3.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The REMP shall be conducted AT ALL TIMES as specified in Table.1 | |||
(. | |||
3.1 With the REMP not being conducted as specified in Table 1, prepare and submit to the Commis lon, in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) | |||
: required by Section 8.1, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. Deviations are permitted from the required samplinc schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions or seasonal unavailability. | |||
3.2 With the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeding the Reporting Level of Table 3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, in addition to | |||
_ complying with the requirements of Section 5.0, FUEL CYCLE DOSE, prepare and | |||
. submit to the Commission within 30 days after the level of radioactivity has been determinedia Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions, | |||
- ' environmental factors or other aspects which caused the Reporting Levels to be-exceeded. This report will define correctivo actions to reduce emissions such that | |||
-potential exposures will meet the 10 CFR 50, Appendix l dose guidelines. When more - | |||
than one of the radionuclides in Table 3 are detected in the sampling medium, the | |||
.Special Report shall be submitted if the Reporting Level fraction summation equals or exceeds unity (1.0). | |||

: individual is greater than or eaual to the calendar year guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix l. This Special Report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity v/as not the result of plant effluents; however, the condition shall be reported and described in the AREOR. | |||
3.3 With fresh vegetation samples unavailable from any of the sample locations required by Table 1, identify the cause of the unavailability of samples and the locations for obtaining replacement samples in the next AREOR. The locations from which samples wers unavailable may then be deleted from Table 6 provided the locations from which | |||
: the replacement samples were obtained are added to Table 6 as replacement locations,if available. | |||
3.4 The radiological environmental monitoring samples shall be collected per Table 1 from the locations shown in Table 6. These samples shall be analyzed to the requirements t | |||
of Table 1 and Table 2. | |||
3.5 The flow measuring devices or, the environmental air monitors used for sampling the Table 1 AIRBORNE EXPOSURE PATHWAY shall be subjact to a MONTHLY function check and shall be calibrated ONCE EVERY 12 MONTHS. | |||
3.6 The REMP required by Section 1.0 provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the Station operation. This monitoring program thereby implements Section IV.B.2 of Appendix l to 10 CFR 50 and supplements the REMP by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. | |||
Guidance for Section 3.0 was provided by References 9.12 and 9.29. REMP changes may be initiated based on operational experience and changes in the regional population or agricultural practices. The detection capabilities required by Table 2 are state of the art for routine environmental measurements in industriallaboratories. The LLDs for drinking water meet the requirements of 40 CFR 141. | |||
l | |||
I RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 'i0 OF 31 4.0 LAND USE CENSUS A Land Use Census shall be conducted biennially and shallidentify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetation in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of two (2) miles. The location of the nearest miik animalis not required if the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) dose calculations are using conservative dose factort, which assume the presence of milk animals within the vicinity of Rancho Seco Nuclear Station. Vegetation sampling may be performed at the Station Site Boundary in lieu of the garden census. | |||
The Land Use Census shall also include information relevant to the liquid effluent pathway and gaseous effluent pathway such that the ODCM and the REMP Manual can be kept current with existing environmental and societal use of land surrounding Rancho Seco. | |||
4.1 The Land Use Centus shall be conducted biennially by using methods that will provide the best results, such as coor to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities The Land Use Census, or portions thereof, shall be conducted during the appropriate time of the year to provide the best results. The results of the Land Use Census shall be included in the AREOR covering the census year as required by Section 8.1.2. | |||
4.2 With the Land Use Census identifying a location (s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in the ODCM for compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix 1, identify the new location (s) in the next AREOR. | |||
4.3 With the Land Use Census identifying a Incation(s) that yields a calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) 20 percent greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Section 3.0, Radiological Environmental Monitoring, add the new location (s) to Table 6 within 30 days or submit a Special Report to the Commission that identifies the cause(s) for exceeding these requirements and the proposed corrective actions for precluding recurrence. | |||
The sampling location (s), excluding the control station location, having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment (s) (via the same exposure pathway) may be deleted from Table 6 after October 31 of the census year. Identify the new location (s) in the next AREOR including a revised figure (s) and table for the REMP Manual reflecting the new location (s). | |||
4.4 The Section 4.0 requirements are provided to ensure that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the REMP and the ODCM are made if required by the results of the Land Use Census. These requirements also satisfy the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50. | |||
e RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 11 OF 31 Restricting the Land Use Census to gardens of greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetation consumption will be i identified and monitored. Gardens of this size are the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of leafy vegetation assumed (reference 9.14) to be consumed by a child. In specifying this minimum garden size, it was further assumed that 20 percent of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (e.gliettuce or cabbage) and 2 | |||
that the productivity was two (2) kg/m , | |||
1 in addition, by gathering information on the liquid effluent pathway and the gaseous effluent pathway, the Land Use Census provides assurance that proper radiological environmental monitoring and radioactive effluent controls are in place for the adequate protection of the health and safety of the general public. | |||
5.0 EUEL CYCLE DOSE | |||
: The dose or dose commitment to any real MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactive materialin gaseous and liquid effluents and to direct radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall AT ALL TIMES be limited to less than or equel to 25 mrem (total body or any orgen), and 75 mrem (thyroid), in a calendar year. | |||
5.1 With any of the Reporting Levels of Table 3 being exceeded, calculations shall be n ade to determine whether the Section 5.0 fuel cycle dose / dose commitment limits | |||
' have been exceeded. Contributions from direct radiation sources (including outside storage tanks, etc.) shall be included in this calculation. | |||
5.2 If the Section 5.0 limits have been exceeded, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days a Special Report that defines the corrective action to be taken to reduce sut: sequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the Section 5.0 limits. This Special Report shall also include a schedule for achieving conformance with the Section 5.0 limits. | |||
This Special Report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.2203, shall include an analysis that estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources, including all effluent pathways and direct radiation, in a calendar year that includes the release (s) covered by this Special Report. This Special Report shall also describe levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations. | |||
5.3 If the estimated dose (s) exceeds Section 5.0 limits, and if the release condition resulting in the violation of 40 CFR 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall also include a request for a variance in accordance with the provision of 40 CFR 190 Submittal of the Special Report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until USNRC staff action on the request is complete. | |||

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 12 OF 31 5.4 .The Section 5.0 requirements are provided, in part, to meet the dose limitations of 40 - | |||
CFR 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR 20. For the Rancho Seco site, it is unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the Station remains within twice the numerical guides for design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix l and if direct radiation is kept small. | |||
The Special Report will describe a course of action which should result in the limitation of the dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for a calendar yeario within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of five (5) miles must be considered. | |||
If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is evaluated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the Special Report along with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected)is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until USNRC staff action is completed. | |||
An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE FUBLIC during any period in which he/she receives an occupational dose. | |||
6.0 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The laboratory performing analyses of Table 6 samples pursuant to the requirements of Table 1 shall AT ALL TIMES participate in an intertaboratory Comparison Program (ICP) approved by the Commission. The ICP approved by the Commission may not always supply tests for the analyses required by Table 6. | |||
Since no Commission approved ICP exists for TLDs, the laboratory performing analyses of the REMP environmental TLDs shall AT ALL TIMES participate in a licensee approved comparison program. | |||
6.1 With ICP analyses not being performed as required in Section 6.0, report the corrective acDons taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the AREOR as required by Section 8.1. i 6.2 A summary of the results obtained as a participant in the ICP shall be included in the AREOR as required by Section 8.1. | |||

10.2 The next two (2) letters are selected to identify SAMPLE TYPE. Refer to Table 4 for a listing of the SAMPLE TYPES and the associated two letter abbreviation. | |||
i 10.3 The numbers following the SAMPLE TYPE abbreviation reflect the straight line distance (miles) to the sample site, ref ~enced to the center of the Reactor Buildinc 10.4 Following the distance, a SECTOR DESIGNATOR letter is included to specify which of j the 16 meteorological sectors the sample site is encompassed. Refer to Table 5 for a listing of the sector designators. | |||
10.5 The final character in the sample site designation is the letter "0" or the letter "P". The i letter "O" designates the sample as one being added to the REMP following Station | |||
; initial criticality. The letter "P" designates the sample as one being added during the j post operational period following the issuance of the Possession Only License. | |||
10.6 The present identification convention has been selected in preference to the system originally used to identify samples and sites. Since it is desirable to retain the ability to identify, and continue to use data from, previously collected samples, the former identification convention is also shown parenthetically in Table 6. | |||
11.0 REPORTING RESULTS OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The requirements for reporting radiological environmental data are specified in Section 8.0 of this manual. Those subsections which rwquire supporting data from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program address the Annual Radiological | |||
!~ | |||
Environmental Operating Report and the Anrual Radios rive Effluent Release Report. | |||
Special Reports are made specific in HPIP 2050, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Reports. Specified therein are conditions requiring special reports, and rer -ing requirements in days for submittal. This includes those calculations to i provide rapid assurance of the degree of compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix 1, and 40 CFR 190 calculations after releases of any origin. | |||
j 12.0 SELECTION OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING LOCATION,S In conjunction .vith the (2ata base established from the land use census, the requirements of the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications, and the guidance desenbod in Section 2.0 of this Manual, the selection of sampling and monitoring sites is performed. These selected locations provide at least the minimum number of locations specified in Table 1. | |||

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 18 0F 31 Data was gathered from the land use census, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Rancho Seco Study Reports, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Study Reports, and from additional sampling sites from which materials have been collected. The information gathered was used to determine indicator sites. Presently, a number of control sites have been selected and are not anticipated to be increased in number. | |||
The second column of Table 6 identifies the Sample Class of a particular sample as either an Indicator (IND) or a Control (CON) Sample. Additional sample locations designated as Special (Spec) are used to perform initial radiological evaluations. | |||
Environmental thermolumia: tence dosimeters are placed in the environs around the site. These devices passlO rnonitor radiation in the immediate environs. Data from TLDs is trended to establish variations which are influenced by seasonal, meteorological, local and global sources. TLDs will also respond to radiation in the effluents of the plant if they pass in near proximity. The data is included in each quarterly environmental report. | |||
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 :: amp les to meet the requirements listed in Table 1. | |||
A site has been established for a vegetable garden. The garden is at the site boundary alongside Clay Creek, and irrigated with water from the effluent stream. Th!s data is considered essential for comparisons to vegetation not irrigated with effluent stream water for determination of bioaccumulation for soil types common to the environs. | |||
All of the environmental sample locations required for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are designated in Tablo 6. Adfoonal sampling locations are listed in HPIP.2070, REMP Routes and Sample Locations. | |||

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 4 OF 31 0.0 POLICY The Sacramento Municipal Utility Distnct (SMUD) and the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station recognize their responsibility to comply with the Technical Specifications and the applicable regulations, codes, standards and industry-wide criteria for establishing and maintaining a viable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. We are committed to operating the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station in such a manner that will assure proper radiation protection to all employees, contractors and the general public. To this end, we have committed to performing an environmental sampling program which meets the intent of the applicable regulations while providing an accurate assessment of the radiological environment in and around the environs of the Rancho Seco site.
1.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM BASES The Sacramento Municipal Utility District and the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station have instituted a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) which this manual serves to implement. The REMP is based upon the information contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 20, Section 1302 (10 CFR 20.1302). That Regulatory 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 occurrences 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 radiological effluent control program of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station.
- 3. Meet minimum limits for detecting radioactive isotopes in samples collected from the environs or direct measurements in the field.
- 4. Provide measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in those exposure pathways, (i.e., liquid, gaseous, and direct radiation), and for those radienuclides, (i.e.,
cesi'im, and cobalt), which lead to the highest potential radiation exposure of individuals resulting from station operation.
i RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 5 OF 31
- This Manual contains the minimum requirements for tne conduct of the Rancho Seco Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP). The requirements are consistent with USNRC regulations, the Branch Technical Position (BTP), Radiological Effluent Technical -
Specifications (RETS) for PWRs (NUREG-0472), and the Rancho Seco Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications (PDTS) as Administrative Controls.
2.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program is under :he cognizance of the Nuclear
- Plant Closure Manager, with the responsibility for the administration and oversight of the program assigned to the Radiation Protection / Chemistry Superintendent (RP/ Chem Superintendent).
The design of the program is consistent with the intent of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations,
' Part 20. " Standards for Protection Against Radiation" Section 1302. To implement these requirements, the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications, Off site Dose Calculation Manual Health Physics Implementing Procedures, and Surveillance Procedures have been developed. The implementing procedures address specific areas in the program that require direct attention for completion.
2.1 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM PARAMETERS The monitorinn and sampling aspects of the program are:
. Identificu, w v me effluent release pathways, e= identification of the human exposure pathways,
. - Identification of the land usage parameters by the population within a two mile radius of the site.
Three principal release pathways at Rancho Seco Nuclear Station, are:
Gasegu_s EffluentE Discharges from the Reactor Building Stack, Auxiliary Building Stack, and the Auxiliary Grade Level Vent.
Liould Effluents:
Dischargas which are released from the retention basins via the waste water disposal system (Regenerant Hold Up Tanks (RHUT) A and B).

._ I RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL l REVISION 10 PAGE 6 0F 31 l Direct Radiation:
Radiation that c.T,anates from systems or radioactive material contained within tanks or other containers which are within the site boundary to humans outside of the site boundary.
The pathways to human exposure to radioactive materials in the affluent release pathways from Rancho Seco are:
Gaseous e Inhalation of airbome radioactive material by humans, or by animals that inhale and retsin the materialin animal products that are consumed by humans, i.e.,
meat or milk.
. Con:iumption of radioactive particulate material which, although carried by air currents, is deposited onto or is taken up by water sources or plants consumed by humans, or by animals that provide products that are consumed by humans, i.e., milk or meat.
- Exposure from being immersed in air containing radioactive materials as a gas and/ or particulates.
- Exposure to the direct radiation from radioactive materials that have been deposited onto surfaces from airbome releases.
Liaujd e Drinking of water from the release pathway by humans, or by animals that are a food source fcr humans.
. The consumption of fish or other animals that have eaten fish or shellfish taken from water within the liquid release pathway.
. The consumption of products of animals that have eaten vegetation that have been irngated witn water from the release pathway.
. The consumption by humans of fruit or vegetation grown in soil irrigateu with water from the release pathway.
Direct Radiation
. The exposure to radiation emitted frora radioactive materials within the Rancho Seco site boundary. Sources include, but are not limited to, the Borated Water Storage Tank, Demineralized Reactor Coolant **orage Tank, the Interim Onsite Storage Building (IOSB), and the Independent Sr ,nt Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

. - The exposure from being immersed in the release pathway water, to radiation emanating from material contained in the water.
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. Usage factors are determined that will suitably represent biological concentration, retention or uptake which may ultimately 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 pedormance of the land use census is required by the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications Section D6.8.3b.2. The analysis of the effluent and exposure pathways enables
-- the selection of sampling and monitoring locations that fallinto one of two classes, those which are, and those which are not, influenced by effluent pathways. Those in the pathways are referred to as indicator locations. Several of the unaffected locations are selected to represent baseline or controllocations.
Indicator locations provide data from the surrounding environment that may be influenced by the operation of the plant because they are nearby, drenwind or downstream in the release pathway. Such data can be used to calculate doses to verify compliance with 40 CFR 190, using methodology contained in the ODCM. (This is referred to as the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC, The MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is defined as any individual except when that individualis receiving an occupational dose. A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC who, based upon the land use census, is expected to receive the maximum off site dose to realindividuals, 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 effluent is discharged into Clay Creek. A continuous flow of Folsom South Canal water is released above the discharge point. The ccatinuous minimum flow and the liquid effluent release are the major effluent release pathway, and thus the exposure pathway for the station during normal operations. Prior to the minimum release rate being established, Clay Creek was a seasonal stream, formed as the confluence 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 Califomia State Highway 104. Hadselville Creek intersects Laguna Creek just east of the Folsom South Canal. Laguna Creek flows into the Cosumnes River approximately 20 miles from Rancho Seco. .

- PAGE 8 OF 31 Hadselville and Laguna Creeks are also seasonal streams and also receive irrigation' runoff
' during periods when irrigation is used. These streams are the major release pathway for liquid effluents from the site.
The gaseous pathway _ analysis is related to the land use census. This pathway is not confined 4 i- by creek banks, but is subject to the meteorological conditions during the time of the release.
While not a significant release nor exposure pathway, weekly air sampling is performed to determine the dose due to radioactive gaseous releases.
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 thermoluminesence
- dosimeters, which monitor continuously and passively. The dose is integratoo over three
? months to accumulate a statistically significant exposure. The vast majority of the dose .
- Integrated by that,e detectors is delivered from primordial elements in the geological surface of
- the Earth, which contain naturally radioactive elements. A smaller fraction of the dose is delivered by cosmic radiation which has penetrated the Earth's atmosphere.
3.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The REMP shall be conducted AT ALL TIMES as specified in Table.1
(.
3.1 With the REMP not being conducted as specified in Table 1, prepare and submit to the Commis lon, in the Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR)
- required by Section 8.1, a description of the reasons for not conducting the program as required and the plans for preventing a recurrence. Deviations are permitted from the required samplinc schedule if specimens are unobtainable due to hazardous conditions or seasonal unavailability.
3.2 With the level of radioactivity in an environmental sampling medium exceeding the Reporting Level of Table 3 when averaged over any calendar quarter, in addition to
_ complying with the requirements of Section 5.0, FUEL CYCLE DOSE, prepare and
. submit to the Commission within 30 days after the level of radioactivity has been determinedia Special Report which includes an evaluation of any release conditions,
- ' environmental factors or other aspects which caused the Reporting Levels to be-exceeded. This report will define correctivo actions to reduce emissions such that
-potential exposures will meet the 10 CFR 50, Appendix l dose guidelines. When more -
than one of the radionuclides in Table 3 are detected in the sampling medium, the
.Special Report shall be submitted if the Reporting Level fraction summation equals or exceeds unity (1.0).

i RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 9 OF 31 When radionuclides other than those in Table 3 are detected and are the result of plant effluents, this Special Report shall be submitted if the potential annual dose to an
- individual is greater than or eaual to the calendar year guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix l. This Special Report is not required if the measured level of radioactivity v/as not the result of plant effluents; however, the condition shall be reported and described in the AREOR.
3.3 With fresh vegetation samples unavailable from any of the sample locations required by Table 1, identify the cause of the unavailability of samples and the locations for obtaining replacement samples in the next AREOR. The locations from which samples wers unavailable may then be deleted from Table 6 provided the locations from which
- the replacement samples were obtained are added to Table 6 as replacement locations,if available.
3.4 The radiological environmental monitoring samples shall be collected per Table 1 from the locations shown in Table 6. These samples shall be analyzed to the requirements t
of Table 1 and Table 2.
3.5 The flow measuring devices or, the environmental air monitors used for sampling the Table 1 AIRBORNE EXPOSURE PATHWAY shall be subjact to a MONTHLY function check and shall be calibrated ONCE EVERY 12 MONTHS.
3.6 The REMP required by Section 1.0 provides measurements of radiation and of radioactive materials in those exposure pathways and for those radionuclides which lead to the highest potential radiation exposures of individuals resulting from the Station operation. This monitoring program thereby implementsSection IV.B.2 of Appendix l to 10 CFR 50 and supplements the REMP by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) modeling of the environmental exposure pathways.
Guidance for Section 3.0 was provided by References 9.12 and 9.29. REMP changes may be initiated based on operational experience and changes in the regional population or agricultural practices. The detection capabilities required by Table 2 are state of the art for routine environmental measurements in industriallaboratories. The LLDs for drinking water meet the requirements of 40 CFR 141.
l
I RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 'i0 OF 31 4.0 LAND USE CENSUS A Land Use Census shall be conducted biennially and shallidentify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence and the nearest garden of greater than 500 square feet producing fresh leafy vegetation in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of two (2) miles. The location of the nearest miik animalis not required if the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) dose calculations are using conservative dose factort, which assume the presence of milk animals within the vicinity of Rancho Seco Nuclear Station. Vegetation sampling may be performed at the Station Site Boundary in lieu of the garden census.
The Land Use Census shall also include information relevant to the liquid effluent pathway and gaseous effluent pathway such that the ODCM and the REMP Manual can be kept current with existing environmental and societal use of land surrounding Rancho Seco.
4.1 The Land Use Centus shall be conducted biennially by using methods that will provide the best results, such as coor to-door survey, aerial survey, or by consulting local agriculture authorities The Land Use Census, or portions thereof, shall be conducted during the appropriate time of the year to provide the best results. The results of the Land Use Census shall be included in the AREOR covering the census year as required by Section 8.1.2.
4.2 With the Land Use Census identifying a location (s) which yields a calculated dose or dose commitment greater than the values currently being calculated in the ODCM for compliance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix 1, identify the new location (s) in the next AREOR.
4.3 With the Land Use Census identifying a Incation(s) that yields a calculated dose or dose commitment (via the same exposure pathway) 20 percent greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Section 3.0, Radiological Environmental Monitoring, add the new location (s) to Table 6 within 30 days or submit a Special Report to the Commission that identifies the cause(s) for exceeding these requirements and the proposed corrective actions for precluding recurrence.
The sampling location (s), excluding the control station location, having the lowest calculated dose or dose commitment (s) (via the same exposure pathway) may be deleted from Table 6 after October 31 of the census year. Identify the new location (s) in the next AREOR including a revised figure (s) and table for the REMP Manual reflecting the new location (s).
4.4 The Section 4.0 requirements are provided to ensure that changes in the use of unrestricted areas are identified and that modifications to the REMP and the ODCM are made if required by the results of the Land Use Census. These requirements also satisfy the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR 50.
e RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 11 OF 31 Restricting the Land Use Census to gardens of greater than 500 square feet provides assurance that significant exposure pathways via leafy vegetation consumption will be i identified and monitored. Gardens of this size are the minimum required to produce the quantity (26 kg/ year) of leafy vegetation assumed (reference 9.14) to be consumed by a child. In specifying this minimum garden size, it was further assumed that 20 percent of the garden was used for growing broad leaf vegetation (e.gliettuce or cabbage) and 2
that the productivity was two (2) kg/m ,
1 in addition, by gathering information on the liquid effluent pathway and the gaseous effluent pathway, the Land Use Census provides assurance that proper radiological environmental monitoring and radioactive effluent controls are in place for the adequate protection of the health and safety of the general public.
5.0 EUEL CYCLE DOSE
- The dose or dose commitment to any real MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC due to releases of radioactive materialin gaseous and liquid effluents and to direct radiation from uranium fuel cycle sources shall AT ALL TIMES be limited to less than or equel to 25 mrem (total body or any orgen), and 75 mrem (thyroid), in a calendar year.
5.1 With any of the Reporting Levels of Table 3 being exceeded, calculations shall be n ade to determine whether the Section 5.0 fuel cycle dose / dose commitment limits
' have been exceeded. Contributions from direct radiation sources (including outside storage tanks, etc.) shall be included in this calculation.
5.2 If the Section 5.0 limits have been exceeded, prepare and submit to the Commission within 30 days a Special Report that defines the corrective action to be taken to reduce sut: sequent releases to prevent recurrence of exceeding the Section 5.0 limits. This Special Report shall also include a schedule for achieving conformance with the Section 5.0 limits.
This Special Report, as defined in 10 CFR 20.2203, shall include an analysis that estimates the radiation exposure (dose) to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from uranium fuel cycle sources, including all effluent pathways and direct radiation, in a calendar year that includes the release (s) covered by this Special Report. This Special Report shall also describe levels of radiation and concentrations of radioactive material involved, and the cause of the exposure levels or concentrations.
5.3 If the estimated dose (s) exceeds Section 5.0 limits, and if the release condition resulting in the violation of 40 CFR 190 has not already been corrected, the Special Report shall also include a request for a variance in accordance with the provision of 40 CFR 190 Submittal of the Special Report is considered a timely request, and a variance is granted until USNRC staff action on the request is complete.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 12 OF 31 5.4 .The Section 5.0 requirements are provided, in part, to meet the dose limitations of 40 -
CFR 190 that have been incorporated into 10 CFR 20. For the Rancho Seco site, it is unlikely that the resultant dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC will exceed the dose limits of 40 CFR 190 if the Station remains within twice the numerical guides for design objectives of 10 CFR 50, Appendix l and if direct radiation is kept small.
The Special Report will describe a course of action which should result in the limitation of the dose to a MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC for a calendar yeario within the 40 CFR 190 limits. For the purposes of the Special Report, it may be assumed that the dose commitment to the MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC from other uranium fuel cycle sources is negligible, with the exception that dose contributions from other nuclear fuel cycle facilities at the same site or within a radius of five (5) miles must be considered.
If the dose to any MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is evaluated to exceed the requirements of 40 CFR 190, the Special Report along with a request for a variance (provided the release conditions resulting in violation of 40 CFR 190 have not already been corrected)is considered to be a timely request and fulfills the requirements of 40 CFR 190 until USNRC staff action is completed.
An individual is not considered a MEMBER OF THE FUBLIC during any period in which he/she receives an occupational dose.
6.0 INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The laboratory performing analyses of Table 6 samples pursuant to the requirements of Table 1 shall AT ALL TIMES participate in an intertaboratory Comparison Program (ICP) approved by the Commission. The ICP approved by the Commission may not always supply tests for the analyses required by Table 6.
Since no Commission approved ICP exists for TLDs, the laboratory performing analyses of the REMP environmental TLDs shall AT ALL TIMES participate in a licensee approved comparison program.
6.1 With ICP analyses not being performed as required in Section 6.0, report the corrective acDons taken to prevent a recurrence to the Commission in the AREOR as required by Section 8.1. i 6.2 A summary of the results obtained as a participant in the ICP shall be included in the AREOR as required by Section 8.1.

10.2 The next two (2) letters are selected to identify SAMPLE TYPE. Refer to Table 4 for a listing of the SAMPLE TYPES and the associated two letter abbreviation.
i 10.3 The numbers following the SAMPLE TYPE abbreviation reflect the straight line distance (miles) to the sample site, ref ~enced to the center of the Reactor Buildinc 10.4 Following the distance, a SECTOR DESIGNATOR letter is included to specify which of j the 16 meteorological sectors the sample site is encompassed. Refer to Table 5 for a listing of the sector designators.
10.5 The final character in the sample site designation is the letter "0" or the letter "P". The i letter "O" designates the sample as one being added to the REMP following Station
- initial criticality. The letter "P" designates the sample as one being added during the j post operational period following the issuance of the Possession Only License.
10.6 The present identification convention has been selected in preference to the system originally used to identify samples and sites. Since it is desirable to retain the ability to identify, and continue to use data from, previously collected samples, the former identification convention is also shown parenthetically in Table 6.
11.0 REPORTING RESULTS OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL DATA The requirements for reporting radiological environmental data are specified in Section 8.0 of this manual. Those subsections which rwquire supporting data from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program address the Annual Radiological
!~
Environmental Operating Report and the Anrual Radios rive Effluent Release Report.
Special Reports are made specific in HPIP 2050, Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Reports. Specified therein are conditions requiring special reports, and rer -ing requirements in days for submittal. This includes those calculations to i provide rapid assurance of the degree of compliance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix 1, and 40 CFR 190 calculations after releases of any origin.
j 12.0 SELECTION OF RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING LOCATION,S In conjunction .vith the (2ata base established from the land use census, the requirements of the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications, and the guidance desenbod in Section 2.0 of this Manual, the selection of sampling and monitoring sites is performed. These selected locations provide at least the minimum number of locations specified in Table 1.

RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM MANUAL REVISION 10 PAGE 18 0F 31 Data was gathered from the land use census, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Rancho Seco Study Reports, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Study Reports, and from additional sampling sites from which materials have been collected. The information gathered was used to determine indicator sites. Presently, a number of control sites have been selected and are not anticipated to be increased in number.
The second column of Table 6 identifies the Sample Class of a particular sample as either an Indicator (IND) or a Control (CON) Sample. Additional sample locations designated as Special (Spec) are used to perform initial radiological evaluations.
Environmental thermolumia: tence dosimeters are placed in the environs around the site. These devices passlO rnonitor radiation in the immediate environs. Data from TLDs is trended to establish variations which are influenced by seasonal, meteorological, local and global sources. TLDs will also respond to radiation in the effluents of the plant if they pass in near proximity. The data is included in each quarterly environmental report.
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 :: amp les to meet the requirements listed in Table 1.
A site has been established for a vegetable garden. The garden is at the site boundary alongside Clay Creek, and irrigated with water from the effluent stream. Th!s data is considered essential for comparisons to vegetation not irrigated with effluent stream water for determination of bioaccumulation for soil types common to the environs.
All of the environmental sample locations required for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are designated in Tablo 6. Adfoonal sampling locations are listed in HPIP.2070, REMP Routes and Sample Locations.

MAXIMUM VALUES FOR THE LOWER LIMIT OF DETECTION, LLD
- The Low Umit of Detection (LLD) values for the radionuclides presented in Table 2 are those recommended in Reference 9.12 (BTP)and Reference 9.22 (RETS). ,
The LLD of a radioanalysis system is that value which willindicate the presence or absence of '
radioactivity in a sample when the probability of a falso position and of a falso negative determination is stated. The probabilities of the false positive and falso negative i determinations are taken es equal to 0.05. The equation for estimating the maximum LLD is given by ths following equation:
2.71/t, + 3.29S. 8 LLD = '
3.7E- 2(YEl')exp(-AI,), pCl/1, pCl/kg wet, or pCi/M where:
2.71 = factor to account for Polsson statistics at very low background count rate 3.29 = twice the constant used to establish the one sided 0.95 confidence interval j = standard deviation of the background count rate Sb
