I. Introduction to Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) Data for the Period January 1,1996 - July 11,1996.

I I

During 1996, the environmental monitoring program was concerned only with the l

decommissioning phase of the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Station. The operational phase of the reactor

~j 5

r Fuel removal operations were completed by June 10,1992. The spent i

i' ended on August 18,1989.

c fuel is stored near by in an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

s The final liquid effluent release from Fort St. Vrain was completed on July 3,1996, and the REMP program terminated on July 11,1996. Ilowever, a few samples from two sample types were actually collected later in the year. The actual sample collection dates are given in the appropriate l

1 tables.

.A complete and dWied listing of radioactivity released by all effluent routes may be found i

[

{.

in the Public Service Company of Colorado Annual Efiluent Release Report for 1996 to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission. When possible in this report, any correlation of radioactivity m l

{:

. environmental samples with the effluent release data is discussed. These discussions are presented in the appropriate sample type section and in the summary section, II.G.

4 Table IILA.2 lists the LLD values achievable by the counting systems used during 1996 on 3

j e

project samples. These values are given for typical sample sizes, counting times and decay times.

j i-i The LLD is, therefore, an a priori parameter to indicate the capability of the detection system used.

l l

The LLD values in Table Ill.A.2 were calculated as suggested in NUREG-0472.

.j i

l Throughout the report, when a sample result is listed as less than a specified value, that i

l value is the calculated minimum detectable concentration (MDC). This approach is analogous to t

that of Currie (N'UREG/CR-4007): the MDC is the same as S,, the critical signal, and the LLD is L

equal to Sn, the detectable signal. The MDC value applies to the actual sample size, counting time t

and decay time applicable to that individual sample. It is calculated for each radionuclide as:

MDC = 2.33 on EYVe*

Where: c, = Standard deviation of background count rate E = Counting efficiency, e s pCi

Y = Chemical yield (if any)

V = Sample volume (or mass)

A = 0.693/ Half-life t = Decay time between sample collection and analysis This calculation method assumes that E, Y, and V are constants and makes no allowance for systematic error.

It should be noted that we have not used the notation < MDC for values less than MDC.

Rather, we report the result as less than the actual MDC value. Because the MDC is dependent upon variables such as the background count time and sample size, the value will be difTerent for each radionuclide, for each sample type, and even within sample type.

Essentially all radioactivity values measured on this project are near background levels and, more importantly, near the MDC values for each radionuclide and sample type. It has been well-documented that environmental radicactivity values exhibit great inherent variability. This is partly due to sampling and analytical variability, but most importantly due to true environmental or biological variation. As a result, the overall var.iability of the surveillance data is quite large, and it is necessary to use mean values from a rather htrge sample population size to draw any conclusions about the absolute radioactivity concentrations in any environmental pathway.

The arithmetic mean for each sample set is listed in Table II.G.2. All measured values, both positive and negative, are used in the calculations of the arithmetic mean. This is the suggested practice by Gilbert (Ilealth physics 40:377,1984) and the NRC (NUREG/CR4007).

Many sets of data were compared in this report. The statistical test used wps either a "t"-test or a paired "t"-test. If data sets are noted to be significantly different or not significantly different, I

2

the confidence for the statement is at the 95% level ((a = 0.05),(1.96a)).

The Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) goal for decommissioning as set by the NRC was 10 mrem / year for any member of the general public. This is the whole-body dose rate limit i

excluding background and medical radiation dose rate.

The maximum permissible dose commitment rate set independently by the EPA (40CFR190) for any specified member of the general public from any part of the nuclear fuel cycle is 25 mrem / year.

Dose commitments can be calculated for hypothetical individuals for any mean concentrations or exposure rates noted in unrestricted areas that are significantly above control mean values.

Surveillance Data for January Through July 1996 and ;

j Interpretation of Results

' A. ' External Gamma-ray Exposure Rates i

1 For' the first two quarters of 1996 and through the end of July, the exposure rate was i

j

. measured as in every previous period. The average measured gamma-ray exposure rates expressed -

in mR/ day are given in Table II.A.I. The values were determined by_ CaF :Dy (TLD-200) 2

. dosimeters at each of 41 locations (see Figure Ill.B.1). Two TLD chips per package are installed at each site and the mean value is reported for that site. The mean calculated total exposure is then idivided by the number of days that elapsed between pre-exposure and post exposure annealing to 4

obtain the average daily exposure rate. The TLD devices are changed quarterly at each location.

E Fading during field exposure is minimized by the post-annealing readout procedure. All TLD's are i

facing north to ensure consistent solar heating.

j j.

The TLD data indicate that the arithmetic mean measured exposure rate (plus or minus 1.96 standard ' deviations) in the facility area through July of 1996 was 0.42 (0.11) mR/ day. The annual

'mean exposure rate was 0.45 (0.13) mR/ day for the adjacent area and 0.41 (0.11) mR/ day for the reference area. These mean values are nearly identical and are not significantly different from each I

other and not different from the mean values measured during 1995.

I The exposure rate measured at all sites is due to a combination of exposure from cosmic l

rays, from natural gamma-ray emitters in the earth's crust and from ground surface deposition of fission products due to previous world-wide fallout. The variation in measured values is due to true

' variation of the above sources plus the variability due to the measurement method. The purpose of 4

having two TLD rings around the site is not to measure gamma-rays generated from the facility i

itself, but to document the presence or absence of gamma-ray emitters deposited upon the ground i

- from the reactor effluent. Since the inception of power production by the reactor, there has been no detectable increase in the external exposure rate due to reactor releases. Fallout deposition, from i

world-wide fallout, from the Chinese nuclear weapon tests, and from the Chernobyl accident, has been detected in the past.

The TLD system is calibrated by exposing chips to a scattered gamma-ray flux produced in

'l a cavity surrounded by uranium mill tailings. This produces a gamma-my spectrum nearly identical i

to that from the natural background' measured in the site environs. The quality control program includes calibration before readout of each quarterly batch of TLD devices.

For comparison purposes, EPA 402/R (Formerly 520/5) Environmental Radiation Data lists very similar background extemal exposure rate values measured in Denver. There has always been excellent agreement with the results from this program.

- Figure II.A.1 shows the measured mean exposure rate in the Facility Area from 1978 to 1996. The steady decrease in exposure rate over the period is due to the decay and weathering of '

fission product deposition from previous atmospheric weapon tests.

i II.D. Ambient Air Concentrations

1. Gross Beta Activity The air concentrations oflong lived particulate gross beta activity measured at the facility and reference sampling sites are listed in Tables II.B.l(a,b,c) for the first two quarters, and part of the third quarter of1996.

A-19, while technically in the adjacent zone, is only a few meters from the facility boundary and logically should be considered a facility site. It has been termed a facility site since the inception of the monitoring program. The reference sites R-3, R-4, and R-11 were established on January 1,1984 and are sufficiently distant to be considered reference (control) locations. While the R-3 location is greater than the specified distance of 30 kilometers, it has been historically used as a reference site since 1984. See Table F-4 in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Note that site F-7 is in the predominant wind direction toward Platteville. Platteville is the nearest community with'the highest D/Q.

The reported concentrations are listed in units of femtocuries per cubic meter of ambient air (fCi/m'), even though the measured activity is due to a combination of radionuclides, almost all of which are naturally occurring.

The annual mean gross beta concentration in air for all facility stations for all of 1996 was

~

23 (13) fCi/m'. For 1995 the mean value was 22(14) ICi/m'. See Errata section for 1995 REMP Report. The mean concentration for 1996 for all reference stations was 22 (14) fCi/m'. These measured mean values were statistically identical at the 95% confidence level.

The gross beta concentrations for 1996 have been added to the plot of air concentrations observed since 1973 (Figure II.B.1). In this figure the half-yearly mean values for the facility sites are plotted with the values from the reference sites. The contribution from the Chemobyl accident is clearly evident in 1986. It can be observed that overall mean values of the facility sites are not significantly different from the reference sites. In fact, the long-term mean values were identical.

s I1

World-wide fallout, principally due to past Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapon tests,'is the predominant contributor above background to the measured values over the period shown.

There has never been a significant difference observed in gross beta air concentrations between facility and reference sites. Thus, it can be concluded that reactor air effluents of' e

particulate fission products or activation products'during operation or decommissioning have not been a source of dose commitment for the Fort St. Vrain environs population.

2. Tritium Activity Tritium was measured during the first two quarters and through July 11,1996 of the third quarter. The samples were collected continuously by passive absorption on silica gel at all seven air sampling stations (four in the facility area and three in the reference area). The specific activity of tritium in water extracted from these weekly samples in 1996 is listed in Tables II.B.2(a,b,c).

Table II.B.2 (a-c) reveals low but detectable concentrations of tritium as tritiated water in surface air during the first two quarters of 1996. This correlates reasonably well with the efiluent release data (Table II.B.3). Note that after the start of June, no tritium was detected in surface air, as there was minimal release during that period. Dose commitment calculations are not warranted since the mean concentrations were less than statistically significant detectable values.

3. fencentrations of Gamma-rav Emittinn Radionuclides in Ambient Air i

f Table II.B'.4 lists measured ambient air concentrations of Cs-134 and Cs-137 during the first two quarters, and part of the third quarter in 1996. These results are from gamma-ray spectrum j

analyses of weekly air filters composited quarterly from each of the seven air sampling stations.

Occasional positive values can be noted. IIowever, in every case these are very close to the lom limit of detection. The occasional positive values are either measurement system false positives or Cs-137 concentrations possibly due to resuspension of surface soil. The Cs-137 activity in surface i

t soil is due to Chemobyl or previous world-wide fallout which is bound by clay minerals on the i

surface of undisturbed soil. For the entire year, the mean of the facility stations was not different from the mean of the reference stations (see Table II.G.2).

Although only Cs-134 and Cs-137 are reported, each gamma-ray spectmm is scanned for evidence of peaks from other fission products and activation products. Only gamma-ray activity I'

due to the naturally occurring background radionuclides was observed in the past. During the second quarter of 1986, many other fission product and activation product radionuclides were detected due to the Chemobyl accident. Of these only Cs-137 can still be detected, but at steadily decreasing concentrations.

i Due to the time period since the end of operation, there is no logic in I-131 monitoring and it was discontinued in January 1993. It is worthy to note that I-131, due to facility effluent, was j

never measured in any environmental sample during the operational phase or since the reactor was j

t permanently shut down in August 1989.

II.C. Radionuclide Concentrations in Water

1. Drinkinu Water Drinking water is sampled weekly and composited biweekly at two locations. Location R-6 is the water faucet at the Gilcrest Post Office in Gilcrest, Colorado, and R-3 is from a water hydrant located on the old CSU dairy farm in Fon Collins. The Gilcrest well is the nearest public water supply that could be affected by the facility effluents. R-3 samples are the same as the Fort Collins drinking water supply and serve as a reference location since its source is run-off surface water from the Rocky Mountains to the west. In the past water treatment systems for the two water supplies were very different, however recently Gilcrest has adopted treatment practices that more 4

closely correspond to those of Fort Collins.

Table II.C.1 shows gross beta concentrations measured in 1996 from each water supply.

The mean for the Gilcrest site was slightly higher than the Reference site in Fon Collins. This is i

due to the difTerent supply sources. The city of Gilcrest blends water from two different sources and it does not filter the well supply water as well as Fort Collins and natural radionuclide i

concentrations due to the suspended solids are responsible for the slightly highe. measured i

concentrations. As can be observed in Table II.G.2, however, the mean for the entire year for the Gilcrest site was again lower than that observed prior to 1993. This decrease was due to changes in treatment practice by the town of Gilerest.

Table ll.C.2 lists measured tritium concentrations in these same two drinking water sources.

Note that an elevated concentration was observed in the Gilcrest supply in the composite sample collected January 27 and February 3,1996. No explanation for this result is known. There is however, no significant difference in the yearly mean tritium concentrations in the two drinking water supplies. The EPA limit for community drinking water systems is 20,000 pCi/L for tritium.

The two drinking water supplies were also analyzed biweekly for fission product and 24

l activation product concentrations. A three liter aliquot of the original sample was counted directly.

2. Surface Water Surface water is collected from five sites. Since the facility liquid effluent can be directed to either the St. Vrain Creek or the South Platte River, there are upstream and downstream sampling locations on both river courses.

Table II.C.4 shows tritium concentrations measured during 1996 at the four surface water sites and the effluent route site. There were no detectable tritium concentrations at any of the sites including A-25, which is the principal water effluent route.

Table II.C.5 shows measurements of fission product and activation product concentrations in surface water samples collected monthly. There were occasional positive values, but the mean of the downstream sites was not significantly different from the mean of the upstream sites during 1996 for any of the gamma-ray emitting radionuclides measured. This has been the case since the i

inception of reactor operations at the Fort St. Vrain site. The occasional positive values are either fallcut Cs-137, which can be expected, or values close to the uncertainty limits and assumed to be false positives. Using a 95% confidence interval, 5% of the values are expected to be false positives.

In addition to the monthly sampling of the South Platte River and St. Vrain Creek, a continuous water sampler collects an aliquot of the effluent stream from the Farm Pond (A-25), at a preset frequency. The sample is dumped after each aliquot into a 5 gallon collection jug. To prevent overflow of the jug in the one week sampling period, the aliquot value and/or the sampling frequency is adjusted. The weekly composites are then combined and analyzed monthly. The results of these samples are shown in Tables II.C.4 and II.C.5. No elevated tritium concentrations were detected at the upstream and downstream locations through July of 1996.

Mean values of the other radionuclides were less than MDC with the exception of Cs-137.

The Cs-137 mean in downstream water was not statistically higher than upstream and therefore the 33

activity is concluded to be due to worldwide fallout. To ensure that adequate time has occurred i

since the last effluent release from the facility, a final surface water sample at R-10, the downstream

~

~ site, was collected on September 13,1996. The analytical results of the sample are shown in Tables II.C.4 and II.C.S.

3. Ground Water Ground water was sampled quarterly at two locations. These are at F-16, a well on the farm immediately north and the closest to the facility down the hydrological gradient, and at R-5, a well at a personal residence in the town of Milliken, both locations are down the hydrological gradient from the facility. Tnble II.C.6 lists the measured concentrations of fission products and activation products in ground water. The Cs-137 results are not surprising due to residue of Chemobyl fallout. The other occasional results above MDC are assumed to be statistically false positive values.

Table II.C.7 shows tritium concentrations in the same well water samples. No tritium concentrations above the MDC were observed.

Figure II.C.1 shows measured tritium concentrations in the F-16 well from 1984 through 1996. Figure II.C.2 shows the data from 1994 through the end of the REMp sampling period. Note that since 1993 only slightly elevated concentrations were observed. During the operational and decommissioning period, the water from F-16 was never used for drinking purposes. We initiated a weekly sampling of this site beginning early in 1991 and have continued to date. 'lle data for the weekly samples of the F-16 well for 1996 are shown in Table II.G.1 (see Summary section).

For comparison purposes we include Table II.C.8 which lists the Maximum Permissible Concentrations in drinking water from the old 10CFR20.

b II.D. Milk l

The dairy food chain is the critical pathway for potential radiation dose commitment around -

4 any nuclear facility. This is true for both chronic and acute releases. The critical individual would be an infant consuming milk produced from cows grazing local pastures. Milk is the critical pathway for potential dose commitment to humans from environmental contamination of H-3 and Cs-137. For this reason milk is sampled extensively to document the presence or absence'of radioactivity due to the decommissioning operation.

There are no dairies (or personal milk cows) in the facility area which is within a 1.6 km radius from the facility. The five dairies in the adjacent area,1.6-8 km radius, were selected as they are located in the highest X/Q areas. The description of these locations can be found in Table F-4 s

of the ODCM and Figure III.B.2. The single reference location dairy, R-8, is 22.5 km Northwest of i

the facility in the least predominant wind direction. Herd management practices are similar at all

{

dairy locations. The cows in the milking herd are never on pasture but are under dry-lot management which is typical of the Western U.S.

]

Table II.D.1 lists the concentrations of all gamma-emitting radionuclides that are measured l

in milk samples.

l Natural-potassium, as measured by K-40, is extremely constant in milk. The mean l

4 literature value for cow milk is 1.5 g/L. K concentrations are homeostatically controlled and independent of K intake. K-natural is measured in n!! milk samples as a quality control measure for 1

the other radionuclides determined in the same sample by gamma-ray spectrometry.

Table II.D.2 lists measured tritium concentrations in milk. Elevated tritium concentrations a

in milk due to facility effluents were not observed during the operational or defueling phase, or the decommissioning phase. The mean of the 5 adjacent sites was not statistically greater than the reference site. This implies that any tritium from facility effluent is not contributing radiation dose 49

- to humans via the milk pathway. Tritium concentrations in milk should respond rapidly to changes in tritium concentrations of the forage water intake or drinking water intakt.o the cow. This is due to the short biological half-life for water in the cow (about three days for the lactating cow). As noted in previous reports, the reported tritium concentration in milk is the tritium in water extracted -

from the milk. Contamination of milk samples by any radionuclide due to facility effluents has never been observed during the operational, defueling or decommissioning phases of the Fort St.

Vrain Station.

II.E. Aquatic Pathways (Sediment)

Table ll.E.1 shows the measured concentrations for the first half of 1996 of both Cs-137 and Cs-134 in surface sediment collected at F-1, located at the intersection of the Goosequill and Jay Thomas ditches. There was measurable activity of Cs-137 above ambient background levels and certainly due to the decommissioning effluent. The concentrations observed in 1996 were less than observed in 1995 which was less than observed in 1994. The mean values for F-1 in 1994,1995, and 1996 were 160 (250),110 (140), and 55 (80) pCi/kg respectively.

Table II.E.2 shows the radiocesium concentration in sediment at locations R-10, the downstream location. At this site, no Cs-134 or Cs-137 activity concentrations above MDC were detected.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Cs-137 due to decommissioning work did not reach this downstream location.

A final sediment sample at F-1 and R-10 was also collected on September 13,1996. These results are shown in Table II.E.1 and II.E.2.

Note that fish samples were not collected during 1996.

II.F. Sample Cross-check Program To assure both the accuracy and precision of the environmental data obtained from the radiation surveillance program provided for the Fort St. Vrain facility, Colorado State University participates in both interlaboratory and intralaboratory quality assurance efforts. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored laboratory intercomparison studies program is the principal cross-check. This involves the analysis of a variety of environmental media containing various levels of radionuclides.

The media, type of analysis and frequency of analysis for the EPA program are summarized below.

Medium Analysis (radionuclide)

Freauency Water H-3 Semiannually Water Gross p Annually Water Co-60, Cs-134, Cs-137 Semiannually Air particulate Cs-137, Gross p Annually Milk Cs-137 Annually For each radionuclide analysis of a particular medium, three independent measurements are performed and all results are reported to the EPA. It should be noted that during 1989, the CSU laboratory became l

certified by the EPA for drinking water analysis although due to lack of use this certification has lapsed.

Table II.F.1 gives the EPA cross-check data for 1996. The EPA uses the parameter, Estimated Laboratory Precision (ELP), calculated as one standard deviation for one determination.

The normalized deviation of our mean from the known is calculated as:

ELP = CSU mean value - EPA known value o in Where: o = standard deviation of the mean of all participating laboratory results n = number of analyses by our laboratory, normally n=3

$8 P

The control limit is determined by the mean range of all participating laboratory results and three standard deviations of the range. If any result exceeds three standard deviations from the mean (waming level), the result is unacceptable. Whenever our mean value falls outside this limit, the calculations are rechecked and the sample reanalyzed if possible. During 1996 all samples except one were within the warning level. The sample exceeding the warning level has the superscript notation 1-3 in Table II.F.1. The explanation for the incorrect result is given in Table II.F.1. The remaining results are not available at the time of this writing.

As in the past, water samples were split between the CSU laboratory and the laboratory at the Colorado Depanment of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The data for 1996 from CDPHE was not available at the time of this writing.

Table II.F.2 shows results of an intralaboratory cross-check program. Replicate samples are independently analyzed. The repRate results are not statistically different and imply that the precision of the methods is acceptable.

During 1996 approximately 20% of all laboratory calculations that partly involve technician input were recalculated by a different technician. Only an occasional input or calculation error was detected. This result gives further credence to the laboratory results which are not solely computer calculated and listed.

Computer calculations are often recalculated by hand and those done during 1996 were all verified to be correct.,

During June of 1996, one dried milk sample was split between the University of Costa Rica and our laboratory here at CSU. Our result was 87 pCi/kg (dried weight), and their results was 103 pCi/kg 4

(dry weight). The calibration of their laboratory is traceable to the IAEA/FAO. The agreement was acceptable.

' il.G. ~ Summary and Conclusions Table II.G.1 summarizes the radiation and environmental radioactivity measurements conducted during 1996 in the environs ~ of the Fort St. Vrain facility. This is the final reporting l

period for the REMP Program. The REMP Program was instituted in 1970 and has carried on until present.

The. values for each sample type in this report may be compared to pre-operational and operational periods for this facility, as well as to the values from other U.S. environmental monitoring programs (e.g., EPA 520). It must be emphasized, however, that the mean values in Table II.G.1 are only the means of the values greater than MDC, the statistically. minimum

' detectable concentration. The range also is given only for detectable measu ements. The mean and range values, therefore, are not the true means or ranges if any of the values in the sample population were less than MDC, i.e. the mean values in the rest of Table II.G.1 are overestimates of the true mean. The calculational methods and the format of Table II.G.1 is a requirement of the NRC.

Inspection of Table II.G.1 reveals that there were no individual measurements that exceeded the Reporting Level (RL) (see Table F-3 in the ODCM). The Chemobyl world-wide fallout was still observable as Cs-137 in several sample types. Decommissioning activity was observed in Goosequilt sediment samples.

For the category of gross beta concentrations in drinking water, the mean for the Gilcrest well was again significantly greater than for the reference supply located in Fort Collins. The reason for this observation is solely due to the fact that the town of Gilcrest still doesn't completely i

filter its drinking water supply. The procedure was improved in the last three years but it is still not complete and the activity concentration is still elevated due to naturally occurring radioactive materials from soil and fertilizer contamination. The following conclusions are drawn.

j l

)

.c a.

None of the individual fission product or activation product radionuclides measured were significantly higher in the Gilcrest drinking water.

b.-

Tritium concentrations measured at Gilcrest were not statistically greater than those l

in Fort Collin' s.

c.

The city of Gilcrest does not filter and treat its well water to the same degree as Fort Collins. This has been verified and evidenced by the fact that the gamma-ray spectra of the suspended solids from Gilcrest water samples show only elevated concentrations of the natural l

radionuclides. It has been concluded in previous reports that the elevated gross beta concentrations in Gilcrest water are due to elevated concentrations of the naturally occurring U-238, and Th-232 decay products.

For the category of tritium in surface water no elevated concentrations were noted at station A-25, the outlet of the Farm pond, throughout 1996. A-25 is directly in the principal effluent route y

and elevated concentrations were noted in the past when release was significant. During 1996 elevated tritium concentrations were not observed downstream.

Cs-137 was also observed in many environmental samples but is due to the remainder of Chemobyl world-wide fallout. The only exception was the elevated Cs-137 in sediment in the i

liquid efiluent pathway. These values, however, are well below NRC guideline values and have decreased from 1994 to 1996.

Tritium concentrations from quarterly samples at well water site F-16 were all less than the minimum detectable concentrations. Weekly sampling was initiated in 1991 to observe the movement more closely, but in any ca$e the well at F-16 is not used for drinking water purposes 4

j and elevated tritium concentrations have not been observed in any food chain sample. Residents at the F-16 residence purchase bottled water for their primary water consumption.

o Table ll.G.2 presents an additional summary of mean values for selected sample types. The l

sample types and radionuclides were chosen on the basis of their importance in documenting possible radiation dose to humans. Air and surface water would be the predominant environmental transport routes and drinking water and milk would be the predominant sources of radiation dose if 63 i

L t

?

lsignificant radioactivity release from FSV occurred. Table II.G.2 also allows comparison to the

{

i

-_ four most recent years of monitoring. All four years were post-operational.

l i

The arithmetic means and standard deviations in Table II.G.2 were calculated for all sample results. It should be repeated that the tabular data presented in the body of this report contain only l

positive calculated values abo've the minimum detectable concentration (MDC) levels. Any j

calculated values less than zero or less than the minimum detectable concentration are listed as less l

than the actual MDC for that sample analysis. The actual result in all cases, however, was used in the calculation for the arithmetic mean values for the periods in Table II.G.2. Therefore, all values, i negative as well as positive, were included. This procedure is now generally accepted and gives a

' proper estimate of the true mean value. Because of this procedure, however, the values listed in i

Table II.G.2' cannot be calculated directly from the tabular values in the repon. It must be emphasized that while it is true that no sample can contain less than zero radioactivity, due to the j

random nature of radioactive decay, it is statistically possible to obtain sample count rates less than l

background and hence 'a negative result. It is equally tme that many sample types do in fact have b

zero concentrations of cenain radionuclides. Therefore, to obtain the correct mean value from the i

i lL distribution of analytical results, all positive results must be averaged with all negative results. If

)

4 the negative results were omitted, the resulting arithmetic mean would be falsely biased high.

)

From the values presented in Tables 11.G.1 and II.G.2 and the tabular data of th,e report, the j

following observations and conclusions may be drawn:

l 1.

As in every previous report, it was again apparent that for most sample types the i

variability observed around the mean values was great. This variability is panly due to counting i

statistics and methodological variation, but principally due to true environmental variation (often I

termed sampling error). It must be recognized and accounted for in analyses of any set of i

environmental data before meaningful conclusions can be drawn:

2.

Tritium was no longer detected in the effluent pathway throughout 1996. The release of tritium was indeed much less than in previous years. Since the tritium is released as tritiated water, the dilution by the surrounding hydrosphere is great and consequently the mean l'

64 i

1 values of downstream surface water were not statistically greater than upstyeam concentrations.

Therefore, no tritium could be expected at the downstream R-10 location because none was found.

]

Table II.G.1)...

n a

3.

The Chemobyl world-wide fallout has totally obscured what fission product debris has remained in the FSV environs from the October 1980 Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapon

. test. The biosphere will'contain the Chemobyl fallout, particularly Cs-137, for an equally long i

period. Nuclear weapon test fallout has, since the inception of the project, been noted to be_the j

s t, '

l predominant source term;above natural background. The Chernobyl r.eactor fire debris.was~

]

superimposed on the weapons test fallout from 1986 to present. It is the variation in fallout

{

i deposition, in addition to the variation in naturally occurring radionuclides, that mandates the large number of environmental samples to detect any possible radioactivity due to facility emuents. A j

i simple comparison of pre-operational and operational values is of little value, for most sample

- J types, because the fallout deposition was considerably greater during the pre-operational period due

)

i to world-wide fallout, and has decreased due to weathering.

4.

The prompt and sensitive detection of the Chinese weapon test fallout and the t

Chemobyl fallout in the past and the decrease in this deposition assures that the environmental monitoring program was of adequate scope and sensitivity to detect any accidental releases from i

the FSV decommissioning; and 5.

Release of decommissioning radioactive emuent was evident only in the Goosequill i

i sediment. Since this is primarily Cs-137 in sediment, its transfer to plant and animal food chains l

will be negligible.

it can be concluded from the data collected by the environmental monitoring program that l

m.

4 the radiation dose commitments calculated for the closest human inhabitants or other parts of the l

nearby ecosystems due to past facility emuents are negligible. Natural background radiation and the dose commitment from atmospheric fallout are the only known significant sources of radiation

dose to the residents of the area.

' A. Sample Collection and Analysis Schedule g

Table F-1 in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual'(ODCM) outlines the sampling design, the collection frequency and the type of analysis for all environmental samples. It should be repeated that this schedule was adopted January 1,1984, and while different in c'ertain aspects from ithe previous schedule, has as its intent the same objective. That objective was to document the radiation and radioactivity levels in the critical pathways of possible dose to humans. Such data was' necessary to demonstrate Fort St. Vrain. radioactive effluents produce environmental concentratidns that are within appropriate environmental protection limits and at the same time are as low as reasonably achievable.

During 1996, there were no changes in the sampling program. Iodine-131 analysis was dropped at the beginning of 1993 for milk and air samples. The operational phase of the facility i

ended permanently in August of 1989 and due to the short half-life ofI-131 (8.05 days), there is no longer any inventory of I-131 present. Fish and beef samples were not collected since only 6 '

L

' months of liquid releases were perfonned associated with decommissioning, and food product o

o i

sampling was not conducted since termination of releases occurred prior to the fall harvest.

Table Ill.A.2 lists the LLD concentration values for each sample type and radionuclide measured in this report. These LLD values are the actual values pertinent to the sample sizes, counting yields, and counting times used in the project. Typical decay periods were used in the calculations. 'It should be noted that the LLD values are in all cases equal to or less than those required by the ODCM.

,l Table F-3 of the ODCM' lists the USNRC reporting level for each sample type and radionuclide. No results exceeded the reporting level in 1996.

j Table F-4 of the ODCM gives the description of each sampling location by number, sector, l

and distance from the site. Each o'. these sampling locations (except certain reference locations) can be identified on scale maps (Figures III.B.1 and III.B.2). Topographical maps showing greater detail, as well as photographs of principal sampling sites that are on file in the CSU laboratory.

Note that the REMP program terminated prior to conducting the annual land-use census. In the past, a few residents in the sampling sectors up to a distance of 8 km from the plant have cows or gor.ts that could be used for personal milk consumption. However, from direct discussion with these persons,' this is not a common practice and all cow milk produced is transported to commercial processors. The milk produced locally is diluted by a large milk shed, processed and distributed over a large area for consumption. Elevated radionuclide concentrations in milk samples due to Fort St. Vrain station effluents have never been detected during either the operational or decommissioning phases.

 It should be noted that we have not used the notation < MDC for values less than MDC.
 Rather, we report the result as less than the actual MDC value. Because the MDC is dependent upon variables such as the background count time and sample size, the value will be difTerent for each radionuclide, for each sample type, and even within sample type.

 A-19, while technically in the adjacent zone, is only a few meters from the facility boundary and logically should be considered a facility site. It has been termed a facility site since the inception of the monitoring program. The reference sites R-3, R-4, and R-11 were established on January 1,1984 and are sufficiently distant to be considered reference (control) locations. While the R-3 location is greater than the specified distance of 30 kilometers, it has been historically used as a reference site since 1984. See Table F-4 in Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). Note that site F-7 is in the predominant wind direction toward Platteville. Platteville is the nearest community with'the highest D/Q.

 : 2. Tritium Activity Tritium was measured during the first two quarters and through July 11,1996 of the third quarter. The samples were collected continuously by passive absorption on silica gel at all seven air sampling stations (four in the facility area and three in the reference area). The specific activity of tritium in water extracted from these weekly samples in 1996 is listed in Tables II.B.2(a,b,c).
 Table II.B.2 (a-c) reveals low but detectable concentrations of tritium as tritiated water in surface air during the first two quarters of 1996. This correlates reasonably well with the efiluent release data (Table II.B.3). Note that after the start of June, no tritium was detected in surface air, as there was minimal release during that period. Dose commitment calculations are not warranted since the mean concentrations were less than statistically significant detectable values.

+II.C. Radionuclide Concentrations in Water
 : 1. Drinkinu Water Drinking water is sampled weekly and composited biweekly at two locations. Location R-6 is the water faucet at the Gilcrest Post Office in Gilcrest, Colorado, and R-3 is from a water hydrant located on the old CSU dairy farm in Fon Collins. The Gilcrest well is the nearest public water supply that could be affected by the facility effluents. R-3 samples are the same as the Fort Collins drinking water supply and serve as a reference location since its source is run-off surface water from the Rocky Mountains to the west. In the past water treatment systems for the two water supplies were very different, however recently Gilcrest has adopted treatment practices that more 4
 closely correspond to those of Fort Collins.

 Table ll.C.2 lists measured tritium concentrations in these same two drinking water sources.
 Note that an elevated concentration was observed in the Gilcrest supply in the composite sample collected January 27 and February 3,1996. No explanation for this result is known. There is however, no significant difference in the yearly mean tritium concentrations in the two drinking water supplies. The EPA limit for community drinking water systems is 20,000 pCi/L for tritium.

 : 2. Surface Water Surface water is collected from five sites. Since the facility liquid effluent can be directed to either the St. Vrain Creek or the South Platte River, there are upstream and downstream sampling locations on both river courses.
 Table II.C.4 shows tritium concentrations measured during 1996 at the four surface water sites and the effluent route site. There were no detectable tritium concentrations at any of the sites including A-25, which is the principal water effluent route.
 Table II.C.5 shows measurements of fission product and activation product concentrations in surface water samples collected monthly. There were occasional positive values, but the mean of the downstream sites was not significantly different from the mean of the upstream sites during 1996 for any of the gamma-ray emitting radionuclides measured. This has been the case since the i
 inception of reactor operations at the Fort St. Vrain site. The occasional positive values are either fallcut Cs-137, which can be expected, or values close to the uncertainty limits and assumed to be false positives. Using a 95% confidence interval, 5% of the values are expected to be false positives.
-In addition to the monthly sampling of the South Platte River and St. Vrain Creek, a continuous water sampler collects an aliquot of the effluent stream from the Farm Pond (A-25), at a preset frequency. The sample is dumped after each aliquot into a 5 gallon collection jug. To prevent overflow of the jug in the one week sampling period, the aliquot value and/or the sampling        .

 : 3. Ground Water Ground water was sampled quarterly at two locations. These are at F-16, a well on the farm immediately north and the closest to the facility down the hydrological gradient, and at R-5, a well at a personal residence in the town of Milliken, both locations are down the hydrological gradient from the facility. Tnble II.C.6 lists the measured concentrations of fission products and activation products in ground water. The Cs-137 results are not surprising due to residue of Chemobyl fallout. The other occasional results above MDC are assumed to be statistically false positive values.
-Table II.C.7 shows tritium concentrations in the same well water samples. No tritium concentrations above the MDC were observed.               Figure II.C.1 shows measured tritium concentrations in the F-16 well from 1984 through 1996. Figure II.C.2 shows the data from 1994 through the end of the REMp sampling period. Note that since 1993 only slightly elevated concentrations were observed. During the operational and decommissioning period, the water from F-16 was never used for drinking purposes. We initiated a weekly sampling of this site beginning early in 1991 and have continued to date. 'lle data for the weekly samples of the F-16 well for 1996 are shown in Table II.G.1 (see Summary section).

+II.E. Aquatic Pathways (Sediment)
 Table ll.E.1 shows the measured concentrations for the first half of 1996 of both Cs-137 and Cs-134 in surface sediment collected at F-1, located at the intersection of the Goosequill and Jay Thomas ditches. There was measurable activity of Cs-137 above ambient background levels and certainly due to the decommissioning effluent. The concentrations observed in 1996 were less than observed in 1995 which was less than observed in 1994. The mean values for F-1 in 1994,1995, and 1996 were 160 (250),110 (140), and 55 (80) pCi/kg respectively.
 Table II.E.2 shows the radiocesium concentration in sediment at locations R-10, the downstream location. At this site, no Cs-134 or Cs-137 activity concentrations above MDC were detected.

+Table II.F.1 gives the EPA cross-check data for 1996. The EPA uses the parameter, Estimated Laboratory Precision (ELP), calculated as one standard deviation for one determination.
+The normalized deviation of our mean from the known is calculated as:
 ELP = CSU mean value - EPA known value o in Where: o = standard deviation of the mean of all participating laboratory results n = number of analyses by our laboratory, normally n=3

+$8 P
 The control limit is determined by the mean range of all participating laboratory results and three standard deviations of the range. If any result exceeds three standard deviations from the mean (waming level), the result is unacceptable. Whenever our mean value falls outside this limit, the calculations are rechecked and the sample reanalyzed if possible. During 1996 all samples except one were within the warning level. The sample exceeding the warning level has the superscript notation 1-3 in Table II.F.1. The explanation for the incorrect result is given in Table II.F.1. The remaining results are not available at the time of this writing.
 As in the past, water samples were split between the CSU laboratory and the laboratory at the Colorado Depanment of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). The data for 1996 from CDPHE was not available at the time of this writing.
 Table II.F.2 shows results of an intralaboratory cross-check program. Replicate samples are independently analyzed. The repRate results are not statistically different and imply that the precision of the methods is acceptable.

 Note that the REMP program terminated prior to conducting the annual land-use census. In the past, a few residents in the sampling sectors up to a distance of 8 km from the plant have cows or gor.ts that could be used for personal milk consumption. However, from direct discussion with these persons,' this is not a common practice and all cow milk produced is transported to commercial processors. The milk produced locally is diluted by a large milk shed, processed and distributed over a large area for consumption. Elevated radionuclide concentrations in milk samples due to Fort St. Vrain station effluents have never been detected during either the operational or decommissioning phases.
