| 2017 AREOR 1 Executive Summary On June 12, 2013, Southern California Edison notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it had permanently ceased operation for both Units 2 and 3 on June 7, 2013. While all power operations have ceased, spent fuel remains stored on site. San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (hereafter referred to as San Onofre or SONGS) continues to fulfill its regulatory commitment to monitor the environment and potential exposure pathways. The REMP verifies that San Onofre has had no radiological impact to the surrounding environment or people and that it is within applicable state and federal regulations.
| |
| The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) includes the sampling of environmental media and measuring radiation levels in the environment surrounding SONGS.
| |
| Its purpose is to identify any levels of radioactivity or radiation associated with SONGS that have a potential exposure to a member of the general public. This is accomplished through the measurement of direct radiation and by the sampling and analyses of various environmental media, including:
| |
| * soil
| |
| * shoreline sediment (beach sand)
| |
| * air (particulate & iodine)
| |
| * local crops
| |
| * non-migratory marine species
| |
| * kelp
| |
| * drinking water
| |
| * ocean water
| |
| * ocean bottom sediments Samples are analyzed for both naturally occurring and SONGS plant-related radionuclides. A detailed description of the 2017 sampling locations and location maps are included in Appendix A of this report.
| |
| An independent assessment of environmental impact is performed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) through the collection and analysis of samples, placement of dosimeters and collection of air samples. In addition , the site participates in onsite and offsite inspections.
| |
| This report describes the REMP conducted at San Onofre and covers the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31 , 2017. The REMP produces scientifically defensible data demonstrating no observable radiological environmental impact from SONGS. This report fulfills applicable license commitments, as described in DPR-13, NPF-10, NPF-15, and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
| |
| The REMP data collected during 2017, as in previous years , continues to be representative of background levels. The data is summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B. The radionuclides cesium-137 (Cs-137) in soil and iodine-131 (1-131) in kelp were detected above the minimum detectable concentration (MDC), with the Cs-137 being attributable to fallout from nuclear weapons testing and the Fukushima Daiichi accident in Japan and the 1-131 associated with medical administrations. These isotopes have been detected at indicator locations, as well as at control locations, in past years. Naturally occurring radionuclides, including beryllium-? (Be-7), potassium-40 (K-40), thorium-228 (Th-228) and thorium-230 (Th-230) were detected in both control and indicator locations at similar Page 11

| | |
| 2017 AREOR concentrations and are not related to the operation of SONGS. Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed discussion.
| |
| There is a natural and manmade radiation background . Natural background is comprised of the terrestrial and cosmic radiation sources while manmade background results from past weapons testing fallout and routine medical applications. Prior to the construction of SONGS, environmental samples and measurements were collected and analyzed to determine the baseline natural radiation levels. The results from the indicator stations are compared to this pre-operational data, as well as control samples, to evaluate if changes in any radiation levels can be attributed to SONGS or other causes such as natural variations in the environment or manmade contributions.
| |
| In summary, the environmental monitoring data collected during 2017 supports a conclusion of no adverse effect on the population or the environment from SONGS. The radiation exposures to people living in the surrounding area from SONGS remains less than 2 mrem per year, which is a small fraction of the radiation exposures in the environment from the natural background from terrestrial and cosmic radiation .
| |
| 2 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program 2.1 Program Overview A key purpose of the REMP is to characterize the radiological environment outside of the power block, providing data for assessing potential radiological impact resulting from the decommissioning activities for SONGS Units 2 and 3. It is designed and conducted :
| |
| * to detect any significant increase in the concentration of radionuclides in the pathways of exposure to the public,
| |
| * to detect any significant change in ambient gamma radiation levels, and
| |
| * to fulfill the radiological environmental monitoring requirements of the ODCM .
| |
| Exposure pathways are the different routes by which people can potentially be exposed to radiation or radioactive materials . The pathways may be characterized into four general types, shown below along with a brief description of the monitoring as performed at SONGS:
| |
| * AIRBORNE . The airborne pathway represents the inhalation intake of airborne radioactive materials. This pathway is sampled in areas around SONGS by continuously drawing air through specialized filters and charcoal cartridges 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although both units at SONGS have been shut down since January 2012, these air samples continue to be collected on a weekly basis.
| |
| * WATERBORNE. The waterborne pathways include the exposure to radioactive materials accumulated in aquatic biota (fish, shellfish) and in shoreline sediments.
| |
| These pathways are assessed through the collection of fish and shellfish samples in the environment around the plant. Sediment samples are also collected to evaluate any long-term buildup in the environment.
| |
| * INGESTION . The ingestion pathway includes broadleaf vegetation, agricultural products, and food products. Atmospheric releases from the plant can deposit on these food products, representing an intake exposure pathway through the consumption of these food products . Samples of crops (e.g ., tomato, lettuce, sorrel) are collected from the local area around the plant to evaluate any impact on this pathway.
| |

| | |
| 2017 AREOR
| |
| * DIRECT RADIATION. The direct radiation pathway represents the external exposure from sources on the plant site and directly from any radioactive effluents released to the air or water. This direct environmental radiation dose is measured through the use of direct measurement dosimeters, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) or optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLs) that are placed around the plant site and in the local environment.
| |
| Figure 1 - Examples of Exposure Pathways 2.2 Site Area and Description San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station is located next to San Onofre State Beach, adjoining Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, in San Diego County, 64 miles south of Los Angeles, California. At this time there are no operating reactors, but in the past, there were three operating pressurized water reactors with a total rated capacity of 2664 net megawatts electrical.

| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR Figure 2 - SONGS 45 mile REMP Radius Unit 1, rated at 410 net megawatts electrical, was supplied by Westinghouse Electric Company.
| |
| Unit 1 began commercial operation on January 1, 1968. The unit was permanently shut down on November 30, 1992, and has been decommissioned. By August 31 , 2004, all fuel was transferred to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). By November 29, 2006, all remaining monitored effluent pathways were permanently removed from service or routed to Unit 2 discharge to the outfall. Unit 1 is owned by Southern California Edison (80%) and San Diego Gas and Electric (20% ).
| |
| Unit 2 and Unit 3 were supplied by Combustion Engineering, Inc., with turbine generators supplied by G.E.C. Turbine Generators , Ltd., of England . The units began commercial operation on August 18, 1983, and April 1, 1984, respectively, and were rated at 1127 net megawatts electrical each. The twin units are owned by Southern California Edison (78.21%),
| |
| San Diego Gas and Electric (20% ), and the City of Riverside ( 1. 79% ).

In addition, the City of Anaheim retains financial responsibility for its spent fuel and for a portion of the Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs. The City of Anaheim remains a licensee for purposes of its retained interests and liabilities. Southern California Edison notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on June 12, 2013, that it had permanently ceased operation of Units 2 and 3 on June 7, 2013. The NRC notification, called a Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations, sets the stage for SCE to begin preparations for decommissioning .

| 2017 AREOR 2.3 Sample Collection and Analyses Samples of environmental media were obtained to meet the stated objectives . The selection of sample types was based on established important pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to exposures to individuals. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of REMP sample locations as described in Table 5-4 of the ODCM .
| |
| Sampling locations have been selected , considering the local environmental characteristics, including meteorology, land use and water use data . Two types of sampling locations are defined. The first type , representing control stations, is located in areas that are beyond the measurable influence of San Onofre, typically at distance of greater than 5 miles away. The sample results from these stations are considered representative of background levels with no potential for contribution from releases and sources at SONGS. The control stations also serve as indicators of rad ioactive sources other than SONGS, such as nuclear medicine applications.
| |
| The second type, representing indicator stations, is used to measure any radiation contributed to the environment caused by San Onofre. Indicator stations are located close to San Onofre (within 5 miles), reflecting the nearby areas to provide environmental measurements for releases from the plant. Indicator stations can be located either onsite or offsite .
| |
| As described in Section 4, below, the SONGS REMP is conducted in accordance with a Quality Assura nce Program , meeting the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1.
| |
| Samples are collected using approved methods; radiochemical analyses of these samples are performed using standardized analytical methods. The Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) participates in an inter-laboratory comparison program in partial fulfillment of the quality assurance requirements for environmental monitoring. The CEAL participated in cross check programs which meet the intent of Reg . Guide 4.15. See Appendix C for additional details.

| 2017 AREOR 2.3.1 Detection Limit Terminology The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that equipment and analytical methods used for radiological monitoring must be able to detect specified minimum limits for the type sample and the radionuclide of the analysis. The a priori detection capability for the analytical system used for the measurement is referred to as the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD). This LLD ensures that radiation measurements are sufficiently sensitive to detect any levels of concern and small changes in the environment. Samples with no detectable radiation levels are typically referred to as less than the minimum detectable concentration (MDC). The MDC is evaluated for each sample and is used to ensure that the specific analysis has sufficient sensitivity to detect levels consistent with the requirements for analysis by the system LLD. For a more thorough discussion , refer to NUREG/CR-4007.
| |
| * Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) - The LLD is the a priori (before the fact) lower limit of detection for the method used for the analysis. It is a measure of the detection capability for the analytical method and not for any single sample analysis. This value is calculated for each isotope and every matrix based on typical or expected values of decay time , sample size, counter efficiency, etc. The LLD values are listed in the ODCM and represent the detection capability that the analytical methods must meet for the specified sample media.
| |
| * Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) - The MDC is the a posteriori (after the fact) lower limit of detection based on actual decay time , measured sample size, and counting efficiency for an individual sample analysis. The MDC is compared to the LLD to verify that the measurement met the ODCM requirements for the maximum value of the LLD for the listed analytes. Values above the MDC are presumed to represent "detected" levels of radioactivity.
| |
| * No Detectable (ND) - "No Detectable" is used for direct radiation dosimeters, such as TLDs and OSLs data , to designate when the exposure measured is below the expected background exposure, plus a calculated uncertainty. The TLD will have measured radiation exposure, but the magnitude of the exposure is within the expected range ,
| |
| accounting for natural background and seasonal fluctuations . ND indicates that there was no exposure above the background variation that is attributable to SONGS.
| |
| The sampling and analyses for the REMP are conducted in a manner to ensure the detection capabilities meet the specified requirements .

| 2017 AREOR 2.4 Regulations and Guidance
| |
| * 10 CFR 50, Appendix I 10 CFR 50, Appendix I establishes limits on releases of radioactivity to the environment and the resulting dose to the public. The limits are:
| |
| Source NRC Limits for SONGS Liquid Effluent Less than or equal to 3 mrem/yr to whole body from all pathways of exposure Less than or equal to 10 mrem/yr to any organ from all pathways of exposure Gaseous Effluents - Noble Less than or equal to 10 mrad/yr gamma air dose Gases Less than 20 mrad/yr, beta air dose Less than 5 mrem/yr, total body dose to an offsite exposed individual of the public lodine-131, tritium and Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ for an offsite particulates with half-life individual from all pathways of exposure greater than 8 days
| |
| * 40 CFR 190 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established environmental radiation protection standards in 40 CFR 190 for the uranium fuel cycle that includes nuclear power plants. These limits are applicable to the sum of liquid effluent, gaseous effluents and direct radiation.
| |
| The dose limits from all applicable pathways to any offsite individual are o 25 mrem/year to the whole body o 75 mrem/year to the thyroid o 25 mrem to any other organ As discussed in the 2017 SONGS Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, the calculated dose to a member of the public as a result of SONGS is a small fraction of the dose standard established by the EPA. This conclusion is supported by the results of the REMP, as reflected by the absence of measurable levels of radiation or radioactive materials in the offsite environment attributable to SONGS.
| |
| Page 18
| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR The EPA established the following concentration limits for drinking water in 40 CFR 141 :
| |
| Source NRC Limits for SONGS Gross Alpha 15 pCi/L Gross Beta 50 pCi/L Ra-226 and Ra-228 5 pCi/L combined Sr-90 8 pCi/L Uranium 30 µG/L Tritium 30,000 pCi/L (limit for saltwater site; no downstream drinking water supplier)
| |
| These limits were selected to ensure that no member of the publ ic receives more than 4 mrem total body or organ dose, based on 2 liters per day drinking water intake. The sampling of ocean water and groundwater in and around the plant confirms that SONGS has no impact on public water supplies for the surround ing communities .

| 2017 AREOR 2.5 NRC Reporting Levels The NRC has established required reporting levels that represent thresholds above which an investigation is needed to evaluate and ensure compliance with radiation safety standards for the public. Licensed nuclear facilities must prepare a special report and increase their sampling if any measured level of radiation or radioactive material in an environmental sample is equal to or greater than the corresponding reporting level.
| |
| 2.6 Summary of Analysis of Results and Trends The 2017 SONGS REMP was conducted in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, 10 CFR
| |
| §50.36a, and Section 5.0 of the SONGS Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM). The REMP sample data have been summarized in the format specified in NUREG-1301 . Data have been evaluated to identify the levels of any plant-related environmental radioactivity above background levels (i.e., plant-related contributions that are distinguishable from background).
| |
| For data distinguishable from background , a comparison has been made between current environmental monitoring results and preoperational or previous operational data as appropriate, for trending environmental radioactivity resulting from plant operation .
| |
| To conform with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV B.2, data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment are provided to allow for a comparison to the predicted (calculated) values in the environment from radioactive material released in effluents.
| |
| The tabulated means, ranges, and standard deviations are presented in Appendix B.
| |
| Compa risons with background and pre-operational baseline data are presented in Appendix D.
| |
| Page I 10
| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR The REMP data are reviewed for accuracy, compared against NRC reporting levels, and entered into the REMP database. Measurements exceeding the administrative levels (10% of the NRC reporting levels) are flagged . Analyses are performed using instrumentation and methods that provide analytical results with a level of detection as required by the ODCM. The a posteriori Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) is compared to the maximum value for the a priori Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) specified in the ODCM . This ensures that regulatory limits for the maximum LLD are met.

| |
| Cs-137 18 6E-02 150 80 180 I Ba-140, La-140 15 The impact of SONGS on the surrounding environment is assessed through a series of analyses. These analyses include: data reduction , comparisons of indicator to control locations (Appendix B); comparison of operational to preoperational environmental data (Appendix D);
| |
| summary of deviations from sampling requirements and corrective actions taken (Appendix E);
| |
| and the results of the 2017 Land Use Census (Appendix F).
| |
| The results of the 2017 monitoring program show no levels of direct rad iation or radioactive materials from SONGS distinguishable from background in the offsite environment.
| |
| Environmental samples from areas surrounding SONGS continue to indicate no radiological impacts from the plant. A detailed discussion of the 2017 analytical results is presented in Appendix B to Part II of this report. Analytical values from offsite indicator sample stations continue to trend with the control stations. With the exception of measured medical radioisotope iodine-131 in kelp , unrelated to SONGS, no measurements were distinguishable from background levels.
| |
| The data indicate that SONGS continues to have no measurable radiological impact on the environment or any member of the public during 2017. In addition, dose to members of the public attributable to SONGS related radiological activities remain well below regulatory limit of 100 mrem per year, as specified in 10 CFR 20, § 20.1301 and in keeping with the philosophy of "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA), as specified in 10 CFR 20.1101 (b ).
| |
| The REMP data collected during 2017, as in previous years , continues to be in line with background levels. The data are summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B. Cesium-137 (Cs-137) is routinely identified in some soil samples and lodine-131 (1-131) is found in some kelp samples. Cs-137 and 1-131 are radionuclides that could be associated with releases from nuclear power plants, including SONGS. However, the level of Cs-137 found in soil is consistent with historical and expected Cs-137 concentrations from Page I 11
| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR nuclear weapons testing . Since SONGS is no longer operating , there is not a realistic generation source for 1-131; therefore it is considered to be associated with use as medical administrations. It is no longer being generated as a fission product from the SONGS operation .
| |
| And with its 8-day radioactive half-life, it is unrelated to any decommissioning activities at SONGS. Naturally occurring radionuclides , including beryllium-? (Be-7), potassium-40 (K-40),
| |
| thorium-228 (Th-228) and thorium-230 (Th-230) were detected in both control and indicator locations at similar concentrations and are not related to the operation of SONGS. Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed discussion.
| |
| 3 Land Use Census In accordance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.3, each year a Land Use Census is performed to identify any changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary.
| |
| Modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census to reflect new or changes in locations for pathways of exposure around the plant. Appendix F of the report identifies changes to the census in 2017; no changes in the sampling media or sample locations were required . However, the SONGS indicator garden was relocated to a location near Air Sampler #11.
| |
| 4 Quality Assurance To assure quality of sample analyses, a portion of REMP is devoted to quality assurance. All REMP activities, including support contractors , are assessed as defined in Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1. The quality assurance program's main aspects include process quality control, instrument quality control , comprehensive data reviews , cross-check analyses, and audits.
| |
| Routine REMP assessments ensure that the program , procedures and personnel are performing satisfactorily. Samples are collected using approved methods; radiochemical analyses of these samples are performed using standardized analytical methods . Quality audits and independent technical reviews help determine areas that need attention . Thes~ areas are addressed in accordance with the station's Corrective Action Program .
| |
| Duplicate sampling of the environment is performed by SONGS to demonstrate repeatability of the sample collection , preparation , and analysis process. Split sample analysis is performed for the evaluation of the precision and bias trends of the method of analysis without the added variables introduced by sampling . SONGS participates in a sample splitting program with the California Department of Public Health Radiological Health Branch (CDPH-RHB) in accordance with the site's REMP procedures .
| |
| GEL Laboratories, LLC (GEL) performs the radiochemistry analysis of samples noted within this report. GEL performs the requested analysis under its Quality Assurance Program , which meets the requirements of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Appendix B Part 50, ASME NQA-1 and Regulatory Guide 4.15 Revision 1. The measurement capabilities of the radiological laboratory are demonstrated by participating in an inter-laboratory measurement assurance program and performing duplicate and split sample analyses. Approximately 10% of the analyses performed are quality control samples, consisting of inter-laboratory measurement assurance program samples, duplicate samples, and split samples . The inter-laboratory measurement assurance program provides samples that are similar in matrix and size to those sampled and measured by the REMP . This program assures that equipment calibrations and sample preparation methods accurately measure radioactive material in samples. See Appendix C for detailed QA measurement data.

| | |
| 2017 AREOR Stanford Dosimetry performs the environmental TLD analyses noted in this report. Stanford Dosimetry performs the requested analyses under its quality assurance program which meets the requirement of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix B, ASME NQA-1 and Regulatory Guide 4.15 Revision 1.
| |
| 5 Program Deviations Any deviation in the conduct of the program as required, either in terms of sample collection or analysis, requires an investigation as to the cause and identification of measures to prevent recurrence . Deviations from the sampling program or sensitivity requirements are acknowledged and explained in Appendix E to this report.
| |
| 6 Conclusion Radiological environmental data collected throughout 2017 have been evaluated to determine any impact that San Onofre operations has on the surrounding environment. To accomplish this, several methods of evaluation were employed , namely:
| |
| : 1. Compilation and verification of all data, as well as a determination of those data considered to be significantly greater than background levels.
| |
| : 2. Correlation of effluent concentrations to concentrations in the environment. Refer to Appendix B.
| |
| : 3. Examination of time dependent variations of pertinent radioisotopes in selected environmental media throughout the year at both indicator and control locations.
| |
| : 4. Comparison of radioactivity in various media in 2017 against the levels observed in preoperational years.
| |
| : 5. Historical trending of radionuclides in various media during operational years .
| |
| This evaluation did not identify any radionuclides attributable to the operation of SONGS above background in any sample measurement or media. It is concluded that the operation of SONGS throug h 2017 had no observable radiological environmental impact.

| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR To assess the changes or trends in the radioactivity level in the environment over the past year, the data from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 were evaluated. A summary of the type and number of REMP samples obtained in 2017 appears in Table 14.
| |
| The analysis results , as presented below, support the conclusion that all measured levels of radioactivity are attributable to sources external to SONGS (fallout from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, or Chernobyl, residual fallout from legacy atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and discharge of medically administered 1-131 from the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall). Cs-137 has been intermittently detected in the indicator and in the control soil samples in past years and no correlation between Cs-137 level in soil and proximity to the plant has been observed .
| |
| Cs-137 levels in marine animal flesh found in indicator samples closely mirror those found in control samples. We conclude that SONGS had no statistically significant radiological environmental impact during 2017.

| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR A. Results and Discussions of 2017 Environmental Data
| |
| : 1. Direct Radiation Direct gamma radiation is monitored in the environment by calcium sulfate (CaS0 4 )
| |
| Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) placed at 49 locations and analyzed quarterly per ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 standards. The natural direct gamma radiation varies according to location because of differences in the natural radioactive materials in the soil, soil moisture content, and other factors. Figure 9 compares the direct gamma radiation measurements for indicator and control locations with those from the site EAB. The values plotted are the averages for all of the stations according to type. The trends of Figure 9 clearly show that any contribution from SONGS to the off-site environment direct dose component is negligible, being indistinguishable from the background variation .
| |
| Beginning in October 2016, SONGS implemented new ANSI/HPS N13-37-2014 for environmental dosimetry system design and implementation. In accordance with this standard, the raw TLD resu lts are adjusted by the exposure to air kerma (8. 76 mGy/R) and air kerma to ambient dose (1 .2 rem/Gy) conversion factors described in ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014, Section 3.2.1 . This change results in a slight increase in the value of the dose, by a factor of 1.05 mrem/mR. Previous results in the AREOR were expressed in mR, but in keeping with ANSI N13.37, 2017 results are expressed in mrem .
| |
| TLDs located greater than five miles from SONGS are generally considered control TLDs. The indicator locations are selected as inner and outer rings as required by the ODCM. Additional TLDs are placed at locations of interest such as schools and hospitals. All 2017 control location TLD readings were below the minimum detectable dose and all 2017 indicator location readings outside the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) were below the minimum detectable dose.
| |
| The Annual Public Dose, as referenced in Table 15, is based on the potential member of the public exposure at the listed location . For offsite locations, the occupancy factor is 1, for potential full-time occupancy. For onsite locations, at or near the EAB/CAB, the occupancy factor is determined per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, Direct Radiation Exposure Controls and Monitoring.
| |
| The data indicate detectable direct radiation measurements only in the immediate vicinity of SONGS, via those dosimeters placed either within or immediately adjacent to the EAB. The hypothetical maximum associated exposure to a member of the general public, adjusted for occupancy per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, is less than 1 mrem per year as measured by this sample media. Refer to Table 15 for a summary of all 2017 SONGS REMP TLD data .

These figures show the close correlation between the control and indicator location TLD exposure data. Beginning in 2016, the results have been increased by the conversion factors as described above. This increase, of roughly 1 mrem/quarter, can be seen in Figure 9 above.
| |
| Ten laboratory control TLDs were analyzed quarterly. TLD numbers 1, 23, 31 , 33, 44, 47, 49, 50, 53, 54 and 74 are control TLDs. Separate TLDs are used to compensate for transit dose and a fade TLD is used to evaluate for the time and temperature dependent "fade" that may affect dosimeter data . After the samples were analyzed , the measured doses were corrected for pre and post fi eld exposure times .
| |
| Neutron dosimeters were placed at REMP TLD station 55 and at selected locations around the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). In 2017 no neutron radiation was detected at station 55. Some neutron radiation (up to 2.4 mrem/quarter) was detected at some of the ISFSI locations.
| |
| : a. Direct Radiation baseline evaluation and estimation of natural background An in-depth analysis of the environmental radiation results for the period of 2001 through 2010 was completed for all the monitoring locations. It can be inferred that if the standard deviation was low and no additional exposure above background was identified at a particular station , the average of that station's radiation exposure results should be equal to natural background (baseline) at that location. The baseline results for REMP TLDs have been summarized with the annual and quarterly values in the 2017 TLD Data Table. Natural background radiation is variable and a minor shift in location can yield a measurable change in background radiation . Therefore if a TLD is moved the baseline (background) for that location may be affected.
| |
| Page 129
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX B 20 17 AREOR The baseline environmental exposure analysis of 2001 through 2010 environmental TLD results included an assessment of the standard deviation of the quarterly results and annual totals at each control location . This is an appropriate methodology to determine the ability to detect radiation exposure above background , described in ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014, "Environmental Dosimetry -
| |
| Criteria for System Design and Implementation ." The quarterly and annual results expressed in Table 15 are positive exposure if they exceed either 5 mrem quarterly or 10 mrem annually. If not, the measurement is noted as "ND" for "Not Detectable.
| |
| An empirical determination of the background baseline for stations within the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) is not possible due to the known plant related radiolog ical activities (e.g., storage and transport of radioactive materials) that occurred during the baseline calculation study period.
| |
| The average of the non-EAB stations close to the beach was approximately 15.8 mrem per quarter. A value of 15.8 mrem per quarter was conservatively selected as the baseline for the REMP stations located within the EAB.
| |
| In 1980 the Department of Energy (DOE) conducted an Aeri al Radiological Survey of SONGS and the surrounding area. The baseline/background value of 15.8 mrem per standard quarter within the SONGS EAB is consistent with the 1980 gamma exposure rates reported by the DOE for the areas immediately north and south of SONGS , taking into account the reduction in environmental radioactivity and background dose rates caused by the decay of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing fallout since 1980.

| |
| : b. Quality Control Duplicate Direct Radiation Samples Duplicate Quality Control (QC) TLD was installed adjacent to TLD #66. The duplicate TLDs agreed closely with the indicator TLDs, see Appendix C for results . These TLDs were not required by the ODCM and are not included in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data .
| |
| : c. ISFSI Direct Radiation Samples Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) TLDs were placed in the vicinity of the ISFSI. Data from these TLDs have not been included in the statistical summary of REMP data since these TLDs are not required by the ODCM . The ISFSI data are listed and discussed in Appendix I.
| |
| : 2. Airborne Particulate, Iodine, and Composite Isotopic Analyses Air particulate samples were collected on a weekly basis from seven indicator locations and from one control location. The samples were analyzed for gross beta activity, 1-131, and composited quarterly for gamma isotopic analysis . Sample locations were selected according to the req uirements of the ODCM.
| |
| Gross beta analysis is a measure of total radioactivity of beta-emitting radionuclides in a sample. Beta radiation is emitted by many radionuclides, but beta decay gives a continuous energy spectrum rather than the discrete energy lines or peaks associated with gamma radiation. Gross beta measurements can only be used as an indicator of potentially elevated levels; it does not identify specific radionuclides . Gross beta measurement data serves as a screening tool to determine if further analysis is required.
| |
| All weekly gross beta activity analysis results were above the MDC. The concentration of ~ross beta activity in the samples collected from the indicator locations ranged from 0.009 pCi/m to 0.096 pCi/m 3 , averaging 0.025 pCi/m 3 of air. The concentrations of gross beta activity in the samples from the control location ranged from 0.008 to 0.091 pCi/m 3 , averaging 0.026 pCi/m 3 of air. There is seasonal variability to the gross beta results for air samplers, and the magnitude of the results in 2017 are not significantly different from what has been seen in previous years .
| |
| Near the later portion of 2017, there was a noticeable increase in the gross beta data for all locations, both control and indicators. This trend will be monitored in 2018, and the fact that the trend is evident in both control and indicator locations shows that this is not the result of releases of radioactive material from SONGS.
| |
| Per the requirements of the ODCM, Section 5, Table 5-1 , an assessment was performed to determine whether the gross beta activity of the indicators exceeded 10 times the background
| |
| ( control location #16). The results showed that indicator locations maximum gross beta activity in air in 2017 was 0.096 pCi/m 3 which is less than 10 times the average background measured at the control location (0.026 pCi/m3). No further action is required by the ODCM .
| |
| Indicator samples analyzed for 1-131 were all identified below the MDC. No action was required by the ODCM.
| |
| In summary, average quarterly air particulate sample beta activity from the indicator stations and control station have been compared historically through 2017. The average of the indicators trends closely with the offsite control values . The comparison illustrates that SONGS has not contributed to detectable levels of radioactive material in the environment around the plant. There has been no detectable impact of the plant on air radioactivity. These stations are located near the site boundary downwind from the plant, based on the prevailing wind direction.
| |
| The beta activity measured in the air particulate samples is from naturally occurring radioactive material. Gamma analyses are performed on quarterly composites of the air particulate samples to determine if any activity is from SONGS. The gamma analyses have revealed no radioactivity from SONGS.

| |
| : 3. Ocean Water Monthly ocean water samples were collected from three indicator locations near each station discharge and from the control location at Newport Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides, including tritium.
| |
| Quarterly composite ocean water samples were analyzed for tritium according to ODCM requirements .
| |
| Throughout 2017, only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in the monthly gamma spectral analyses of ocean water. Monthly ocean water samples were also analyzed for tritium, consistent with the State of California Department of Public Health (DPH) split sample program.
| |
| During 2017 all REMP ocean water sample results for tritium were below the count specific MDC.
| |
| The data indicate that the operation of SONGS had no measurable impact on the environment as measured by ocean water.
| |
| : 4. Drinking Water In 2017, monthly drinking water samples were collected from one indicator location and from the Oceanside control location. Samples were analyzed for tritium, gross beta, and naturally occurring and SONGS related gamma emitting rad ionuclides. There is no drinking water pathway for liquid effluent at SONGS.
| |
| No station related radionuclides were detected in drinking water during 2017. Gross beta activity was identified in some samples, but gamma spectroscopy identified only natural radionuclides . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by drinking water.
| |
| : 5. Shoreline Sediment (Beach Sand)
| |
| Beach sand was collected semiannually in 2017 from three indicator locations and from a control location situated in Newport Beach . After collection , the samples were analyzed for plant related and naturally occurring radionuclides . Only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in all samples. No plant related radionuclides were reported above the MDC. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured in beach sand .
| |
| : 6. Ocean Bottom Sediments Ocean bottom sediments were collected from three indicator locations and the Laguna Beach control location . The samples were analyzed by gamma spectral analysis for naturally occurring and station related radionuclides . Only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in ocean bottom sediment samples collected during 2017.
| |
| Four non-ODCM ocean bottom sediment samples were obtained from two locations, Unit 2 outfall conduit and Unit 3 outfall conduit. The conduit samples were collected to measure the radiological environmental effect potentially resulting from the minor conduit leakage. During 2017, all conduit sample analysis results were below the MDC for station related radionuclides .
| |
| The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by ocean bottom sediments.

| Species of adult fish , crustacean and mollusks were collected on a semi-annual basis at the SONGS Unit 1 outfall , the SONGS Units 2/3 outfall and from Laguna Beach control location .
| |
| The flesh portion of each sample type was analyzed for gamma-:emitting station-related and naturally occurring radionuclides . The results were subsequently reported to SONGS in terms of wet sample weights. Because results based on a wet sample weight are most useful for calculating doses, the results of sample analyses are summarized in terms of "as received" wet weights. No plant related radionuclides were detected above the MDC.
| |
| Naturally-occurring radionuclides were detected in marine species samples collected during 2017. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
| |
| : 8. Local Crops Fleshy and leafy crops were collected semiannually in 2017 from the SONGS garden and from the control location 21 miles SE from SONGS Units 2/3 midpoint. Tomato, cabbage, sorrel and yellow squash were sampled in 2017, and only naturally occurring radionuclides were identified.
| |
| No plant related radioactivity was detected . It is concluded that in 2017 SONGS had no measurable impact on local crops.
| |
| : 9. Soil To determine if there is evidence of a build-up of radionuclides in the land near SONGS, indicator soil samples were collected from Camp San Onofre, Old Route 101 , Basilone Road and the East Site Boundary (Former Visitor's center). A control sample was obtained from Prince of Peace Abbey in Oceanside. Surface soil was collected from all indicator and control locations at the depth of 3 inches. The sampling protocol is consistent with the procedure described in HASL-300. Soil sampling is not required by the ODCM.
| |
| Soil sa mples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides using gamma spectral analysis. The 2017 soil samples showed measurable levels of naturally occurring radionuclides . Cs-137 was detected in two indicator samples (0.042 and 0.193 pCi/g) and the control sample (0.046 pCi/g). Cs-137 in environmental soil samples at these levels is often attributable to residual nuclear weapons testing fallout or to the Fukushima accident.
| |
| Cs-137 and strontium-90 (Sr-90) were detected in soil profile analyses conducted in previous years. These radionuclides are mostly due to the nuclear weapons testing fallout depositing on soil and retention of these radionuclides due to their long half-lives. The presence of Cs-137 in the indicator and the control locations in previous years supports the conclusion that the major source of this radionuclide is fallout deposition . During 2017, the operation of SONGS did not have a measurable effect on the environment as measured by soil samples.

| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR 10.Kelp Kelp was collected in April and October of 2017 from the San Onofre kelp beds, San Mateo kelp bed , Barn kelp bed , and from the Salt Creek control location . Upon collection , the samples were analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and station-related radionuclides . Naturally occurring radionuclides (such as K-40, Th-234 and others) were detected in all samples in 2017, from both indicator and control locations. lodine-131 was identified in all samples from April 2017, in both the indicator and control locations. 1-131 was not detected in any of the October 2017 samples, however. lodine-131 is a relatively short-lived radionuclide with an 8-day half-life. It is produced and released from operating nuclear power plants. SONGS is shutdown with the nuclear fuel stored in spent fuel pool so 1-131 is not being generated. That, along with the fact that the 1-131 was identified in either all samples (April) or no samples (October) indicates that these positive results are not from SONGS operations.
| |
| 1-131 has been detected at indicator and control locations in previous years. 1-131 data in ocean water samples near SONGS have been consistently indistinguishable radiologically from background. The northern control locations are too far away and in the predominantly upstream current direction for the 1-131 activity to be attributable to SONGS. The Salt Creek control kelp sample station near the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall has consistently yielded the highest 1-131 activity measured in kelp and has consistently yielded 1-131 above radiological background.
| |
| Figure 10 shows a relatively close correlation between indicator and control locations over an extended period, further supporting the assessment that the likely source for this radionuclide is external to SONGS. (Note: Figure 10 includes all 1-131 results, including those that are below the MDC.)

| Figure 10 131 in Aquatic Kelp Refer to Figure 11 for the relative location of the kelp beds, the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall ,
| |
| and the SONGS outfalls. The data strongly support the conclusion that the 1-131 detected in kelp is attributable to medically administered 1-131 discharged through the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall and not to the operation of SONGS.

| : 11. Correlation of Effluent Concentration to Concentrations in the Environment In accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, Section IV, B.2, data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment have been evaluated to determine the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure.
| |
| REMP samples, both terrestrial and marine, indicated no accumulation of plant-related radioactivity in the environs. No samples exceeded investigation levels and, in fact, all samples with detectable activity were not statistically different from controls and were therefore attributed to non-plant-related sources-past nuclear weapons fallout, Chernobyl , Fukushima, and medical iodine releases in sewage . As such, the operations of SONGS did not have any measurable effect on the environment.
| |
| The regulatory requirement to evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive materials released in effluents and the resultant radiation doses to individuals may be summarized by the following conclusion :
| |
| Page 137
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR Effluent program releases are evaluated annually to determine the receptor(s) with the highest hypothetical dose. The 2017 REMP sample data indicated no accumulation of plant-related radioactive materials in the offsite environment, thereby lending confirmation to the adequacy of the in-plant effluent controls program and dose assessments.

| APPENDIX C 2017 AREOR A. Summary All REMP samples are collected, shipped , and analyzed in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15. Marine radiological environmental samples are collected by a vendor, MBC Environmental , per the vendors Quality Assurance manual. REMP sample analysis is performed by the Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) in accordance with the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan . During 2017 the CEAL was General Engineering Laboratory (GEL). The CEAL for REMP TLDs was Stanford Dosimetry.

| |
| Table 30 - 2017 Duplicate TLD Data D. Calibration of Air Sampler Volume Meters Air sam plers undergo annual calibration using standards referenced to NIST on all REMP air sampler gas meters. When the gas meters are removed from service, the meter is calibrated and the calibration reports are reviewed for bias. This is an a posteriori review of the gas meter performance to evaluate method bias and to identify possible outlier analysis results. For 2017, the calibration reports for five of the air samplers used in the REMP were reviewed. The as found condition of these samplers were that some (2/5) were negatively biased , up to 28% low (at a flow rate of 1.5 scfm). Others (3/5) were positively biased, up to 22% high. A review of the air particulate beta results over the course of the year did not indicate a particular bias for any particular sampler. The trends in the beta results over the course of the year were consistent regardless of which sampler (location) was being monitored .

| APPENDIX C 2017 AREOR E. lnterlaboratory Cross-Check Program:
| |
| The CEAL participates in a number of independent cross check programs, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Analytics cross-check programs . A summary of the cross-check data is included below. In the 151 quarter of 2017, the gross alpha analysis for water samples did not meet the applicable performance evaluation. This condition was identified and documented by GEL, via CARR170227-1085. The sample was re-analyzed with an acceptable result. In the 3rd quarter of 2017, the 1-131 analysis for water was not acceptable. GEL CARR170828-1125 documented the issue, and the lab determined that the observed positive bias was an isolated occurrence and the laboratory's overall process is in control.
| |
| Per the 2017 Annual Environmental Quality Assurance (QA) Report, GEL was provided ninety-two (92) individual environmental analyses. The accuracy of each result reported to Eckert &
| |
| Ziegler Analytics, Inc. is measured by the ratio of GEL's result to the known value . All results fell within GEL's acceptance criteria (100%)
| |
| In 2017, the environmental TLDs, routine quality control (QC) testing was performed for dosimeters issued by the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC). During 2017, 100%
| |
| (72/72) of individual dosimeters evaluated against the EDC internal performance acceptance criteria (high-energy photons only) met the criterion for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision.
| |
| The CEAL's performance meets the criteria described in Reg. Guide 4.15 and ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014.

| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR Comparison of Operational to Preoperational Data and Analysis of Trends Unit 1 achieved criticality on June 14, 1967 and was permanently retired from service on November 30, 1992. Unit 2 attained initial criticality on July 26 , 1982 and Unit 3 on August 29, 1983.
| |
| A variety of environmental samples were analyzed and the analytical results (January 1, 1979 to July 31, 1982) were compared with the 2017 operational data obtained for SONGS Units 2/3.
| |
| The following media were evaluated and compared with the operational data of SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3:
| |
| * External Radiation
| |
| * Air Particulates
| |
| * Radioiodine
| |
| * Ocean Water
| |
| * Shoreline Sediment (Sand)
| |
| * Ocean Bottom Sediments
| |
| * Marine Species
| |
| * Local Crops
| |
| * Soil
| |
| * Kelp
| |
| * Drinking Water The measurements obtained from the SONGS Unit 1 operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) during the period from January 1979 to July 1982 are used as the preoperational baseline for SONGS Units 2/3. This is in accordance with San Onofre Units 2/3, Environmental Report, Operating License Stage, Appendix 6A, Pre-operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring, May 31, 1978. Comparisons of preoperational data to 2017 operational data are possible for each of the following exposure pathways: ( 1) direct radiation, (2) air particulates (inhalation), and (3) ocean water (marine pathway for ingestion).
| |
| Comparisons can also be made between preoperational and operational data for ocean bottom sediment data to ascertain if there has been any significant increase in radioactivity in ocean bottom sediments near the SONGS Units 2/3 outfalls.
| |
| Currently the preoperational data are higher than the operational data. The decrease in radioactivity is due primarily to the cessation of nuclear weapons testing and to the decay of fallout radionuclides. There is a close correlation between indicator and control data over several decades. There are no indications of adverse effects from SONGS on the environment.
| |
| Page 168
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR A. Direct Radiation The direct radiation measurements for the SONGS REMP were made by TLDs on a quarterly collection cycle at 38 indicator locations and 11 control locations in 2017. (See Appendix I for ISFSI TLD data). The TLDs were located at inner and outer ring locations as specified by the ODCM. During the preoperational period from January 1979 to July 31, 1982, the indicator stations ranged from 16.1 to 46.6 mR. The preoperational indicator average was 25.3 mR. The preoperational control range was 19.3 to 30.1 and the control mean was 23.1 mR. During the 2017 operational year for Units 2/3, the routine indicator TLD locations ranged from 9. 7 to 21.6 mrem, averaging 16.7 mrem while the control locations ranged from 13.1 to 20.7 mrem with an average of 17.0 mrem. Outside the EAB, all TLD results (control and indicator, for quarterly and annual measurements) are below each locations historical background plus the minimum differential dose (see ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014). Refer to Appendix B for a detailed discussion of the REMP TLD data .
| |
| Factors such as meteorology, local geology, the fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing , and seasonal fluctuations account for the variability in the data as observed during the preoperational period for each location . The decrease in radiation levels at all TLD sample locations is attributable to the curtailment of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing , and the continued decay of the manmade background from fallout from past nuclear weapons tests.
| |
| Figure 9 compares the environmental radiation levels of selected indicator and control locations.
| |
| Simultaneous variation in the radiation levels at both the control and indicator locations shows that the variations are due to factors external to SONGS. Outside the EAB there were no measurable levels of increased direct radiation associated with SONGS as measured by TLD.
| |
| B. Airborne Particulates From January 1979 through July 1982 ( considered to be the preoperational period for SONGS Units 2/3), there was a noticeably higher gross beta activity in air at all sample locations. This period extends from the fourth quarter of 1980 through the fourth quarter of 1981 . These higher activity levels were attributable to the Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapons test conducted on October 15, 1980.

| |
| For 2017, the maximum monthly average airborne particulate gross beta result was approximately 0.029 pCi/m 3. This result is in line with both recent history and SONGS preoperational data .
| |
| C. Radioiodine Most of the preoperational data for 1-131 level was below the detection limit. All the 2017 operational 1-131 data were below the detection limit. This is expected , as the shutdown and defueled SONGS is no longer producing 1-131 , and all previously produced 1-131 has decayed away. SONGS had no effect on the environment as measured by the radioiodine cartridge data in 201 7.
| |
| D. Ocean Water Monthly ocean water samples were collected near each of the Station discharge outfalls, and from the Newport Beach control location . The ocean water samples are analyzed for naturally-occurring and station-related gamma-emitting radionuclides . Samples were composited quarterly and analyzed for tritium .
| |
| Page 170
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR During the preoperational period, naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected in each of the samples collected from both indicator and control locations. Other gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in only one ocean water sample. In May 1980, Co-58, Co-60, Cs-134, and Cs-137 were detected in an ocean water sample collected from the SONGS Unit 1 outfall. Concentrations of the radionuclides in this sample were 11 , 6, 380, and 430 pCi/1, respectively. Tritium was also detected in two of the ocean water samples collected in May 1980 from the SONGS Unit 2 outfall and from the Newport Beach control location.
| |
| The data for all plant related radionuclides at all ocean water locations during the 2017 operational period were not detectable and below the MDC. We conclude that the operation of SONGS had a negligible impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium .
| |
| E. Drinking Water Due to its location on the beach, there is no drinking water pathway for SONGS. Nonetheless, drinking water samples from Oceanside and Camp Pendleton were collected and analyzed. No plant related radionuclides were detected during the 2017 operational period. Gross beta activity (from natural radionuclides) was detected during both the operational and preoperational periods at both the indicator and the control locations. No plant related radionuclides (including tritium) have been identified in 2017 , and no trends have been noted . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.
| |
| F. Shoreline Sediments (Sand)
| |
| Beach sand is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated at Newport Beach. The samples are analyzed for naturally occurring and plant-related radionuclides.
| |
| To assess the impact of SONGS operations on this environmental medium, preoperational data were compared to 2017 operational data. The radionuclide detected in shoreline sediment in the preoperational time frame was Cs-137 with a range of 0.012 to 0.022 pCi/g, averaging 0.019 in 5 sediment samples. One control sample with a Cs-137 activity of 0.032 pCi/g was observed in July 1979. The presence of Cs-137 in both control and indicator locations during the preoperational period leads to the conclusion that the root cause is external to SONGS and is most likely attributable to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. No SONGS-related radionuclides were detected in shoreline sediment during the 2017 operational period . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.

| G. Ocean Bottom Sediments During the preoperational and operationa l periods, representative samp les of ocean bottom sediments were collected semiannually from each of the Station discharge outfalls and from a control station in Laguna Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally occurring and SONGS related radionuclides .
| |
| Duri ng the preoperationa l period . Manganese-54 (Mn-54) was detected in 5 of the 28 sam ples.
| |
| The concentrations of Mn-54 in these samples ranged from 0.015 to 0.49 pCi/g, averaging 0.13 pCi/g. Cobalt-58 (Co-58) was detected in nine samples . The concentration of Co-58 in the samples ranged from 0.013 to 1.16 pCi/g, averaging 0.20 pCi/g. Cobalt-60 (Co-60) was measured in 15 of the 28 samples. The concentration of Co-60 in the sample ranged from 0.014 to 8.1pCi/g, averaging 0.79 pCi/g. Cs-137 was also detected in 16 of the 28 samples.
| |
| The concentrations of Cs-137 in the samples ranged from 0.014 to 0.090 pCi/g , averaging 0.039 pCi/g . Cerium-144 (Ce-144) was found in two samples. The concentration of Ce-144 in the samples was 0.06 and 0.26 pCi/g , respectively.
| |
| Results of the 2017 data indicate that there has not been a build-up of radionuclides with time in ocean bottom sediments near SONGS. The results also indicate notable decrease in the concentrations of plant-related radionuclides in the ocean bottom sediment. Although Co-58, Co-60, and Cs-137 are normally associated with nuclear power operations, preoperational study reveals no accumulation trend for these radionuclides , and no increase in levels for these radionuclides was detected during the operational period .
| |
| The concentration of station-related radion uclides in all ocean bottom sediment samples ana lyzed in 2017 was below the MDC, supporting the conclusion of no detectable impact on ocean bottom sediments from SONGS.

| |
| Non-migratory marine species are collected semi-annually near SONGS. As a norm, marine species caught by the SONGS outfalls and from Laguna Beach include various species of adult fish, crustacean and mollusks. Upon collection the flesh portion is analyzed for gamma-emitting radion uclides as specified in the ODCM . The results are subsequently reported as pCi/g, wet weight.
| |
| Results for several marine species for both the preoperational and 2017 operational periods for Units 2/3 are summarized in Table 33. The marine species used for purposes of comparison include: Sheephead (a fish), Blacksmith (a fish) , Black Perch (a fish), Bay Mussel (a mollusk),
| |
| and Spiny Lobster (a crustacean). Radionuclides analyzed but not included in Table 33 were below the lower limits of detection for both the preoperational and operational periods .
| |
| During the 2017 operational period, no SONGS related radionuclides were detected above the MDC. The data indicate no accumulation trends. The operation of SONGS in 2017 had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.

Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in cucumber, kale, and tomato samples from the indicator and control locations. Ce-144 and Zr-95 were detected in one sample of parsley at the control location at concentrations of 0.12 and 0.09 pCi/g, wet weight respectively.

| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR J. Soil A comparison of operational and preoperational data does not reveal any accumulation pattern of SONGS related isotopes in soil. The intermittent detection of Cs-137 in both indicator and control locations is due to residual fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing .

Kelp Kelp is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated at Salt Creek. After collection , the samples are analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related radionuclides.
| |
| To assess the impact of SONGS operations on kelp, preoperational data were compared to 2017 operational data in Table 35. Radionuclides detected during the preoperational period for SONGS include Mn-54, Co-60, Zr-95, 1-131 , and Cs-137 .
| |
| During the 2017 operational period , 1-131 was detected in three indicator and one control sample. No other station related isotopes were detected in kelp samples during the 2017 operational period. Figure 10 shows a close correlation between indicator and control sample locations over an extended period of time.
| |
| Although 1-131 activity has been detected in kelp since 1977, there is no evidence that the concentration of 1-131 or other station related radionuclides are a result of operations at SONGS. The presence of 1-131 in kelp is apparently due to the sewer release of medical administrations of radioisotopes , since it has been detected consistently in control as well as indicator locations. Since 1988 the concentration of 1-131, when detected, has typically been highest at the control locations.

| |
| | |
| APPENDIX E 2017 AREOR DEVIATIONS FROM ODCM SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS Deviations from the ODCM sampling requirements are identified below in accordance with section 5.0 of the ODCM . The performance standard for environmental data collection of 95%
| |
| was met for all sample types. During 2017, the ODCM specified a priori LLD was achieved for all REMP samples. Deviations from the ODCM were associated with external factors not within the control of REMP personnel such as limited availability of marine samples at the locations specified in the ODCM . The 2017 ODCM deviations had no meaningful impact on the REMP database and did not compromise the validity of the reported conclusions.
| |
| A. Direct Radiation Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs)
| |
| : 1. During the 2017 1st quarter TLD change out on 4/5/2017, it was identified that TLD #46 (South State Parks Beach Trail #1) had the bottom of the TLD canister broken off (vandalism) and the TLD was missing. A new TLD canister and the 2nd quarter TLD was re-established at the location . This resulted in a total of 195 direct radiation samples on Table 14 instead of 196 samples.
| |
| : 2. Collection of three (3) TLDs located on Camp Pendleton was delayed for the second quarter due to denial of access from Range Control. TLDs are normally collected between April 1 and 10, however they were collected on April 18 (AR 0317-39889).
| |
| B. Air Sampling At SONGS, there are a total of 7 Indicator and 1 Control Air Samplers.
| |
| Downtime for each air sampler in 2017 was due to weekly sample collection , annual Preventative Maintenance (PM) , and the change outs for the flow meters/pumps was approximately 46 minutes for each sampler.

| Weekly Change Out: 0.5 minutes (approx.) x 52 = 26 minutes Annual PM 15 minutes (approx.)
| |
| Annual Flow meter/Pump change out 5 minutes (approx.)
| |
| Downtimes in excess of 1 hour are addressed below for each ODCM required air sample.
| |
| : 1) Air Sampler #13 (Camp Pendleton). On February 21 , 2017, Camp Pendleton schedulers cancelled our access into Alpha-2 Training Area due to hazardous conditions created by rain storm on February 17, 2017. The roads in the area were impacted by flash flood conditions . The air sample was changed out on February 28, 2017 and analyzed. This resulted in one 14-day sample instead of two separate 7-day sample periods as required by the ODCM (AR# 0217-28430). Thus the total number of REMP air particulate samples listed on Table 14 was reduced to 415 samples for 2017.
| |
| : 2) On June 20, 2017, the air sampler pump failed after 95 hours of sample collection.
| |
| The samples were collected and analyzed . There was no detectable licensed plant material on sample's media (AR 0617-23286).
| |
| : 3) On November 26 , 2017 Air Sampler #13 was out of service from approximately 0138 to 0518, due to a power outage at the MESA.
| |
| : 4) On November 28, 2017 Air Sampler #13 was out of service from approximately 1202-1400, due to a power outage at the MESA.
| |
| In all these events, the Radiological Effluent and Environmental Specialist reviewed previous and post event's data to verify that all ODCM LLDs were met.

| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Introduction The regulatory basis for conducting a Land Use Census (LUC) is identified in 10CFR50, Appendix I, Sec IV.B.3. The purpose of the LUC is to "identify changes in the use of unrestricted areas and to permit modifications in monitoring program for evaluating doses to individuals from principle pathways of exposure. " 1 In addition, Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1, section C3 address that "written procedures should be prepared , reviewed, and approved for activities involved in carrying out the monitoring program. " The 2017 LUC was conducted to comply with the surveillance requirement as defined in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Section 5.2. The current Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Procedure S0123-IX-1 .20, Land Use Census, establishes the method of documenting and verifying land use results obtained in compliance to San Onofre's Technical Specifications and ODCM.
| |
| Executive Summary The land area around San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is not subject to significant change due to the nature of the land uses. The area around SONGS is divided into sixteen (16) geographical sectors . The Pacific Ocean and United States Marine Corps (USMC)
| |
| Base Camp Pendleton comprise 13 of the 16 sectors surrounding SONGS. The City of San Clemente (a mature municipal area) and coastline comprise the remaining three sectors.
| |
| Therefore, the characteristics of the local land area substantially inhibit significant land use changes.
| |
| Definition of Uses Residence is defined as any structure (single-family house, apartment, mobile home, barracks or sim ilar unit) that is occupied by an individual(s) or resident(s) for three months or longer in a given year.
| |
| Other Specified Use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population as other than their primary residence. The use is divided into two categories : employment and non-employment related .
| |
| Employment use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population engaged in normal work activities regardless of the length of time spent at the location, and regardless of its permanence, including concession stands, restaurants , campground hosts, markets and guard shacks.
| |
| Non-employment-related use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population who are not engaged in normal work activities, including campgrounds, temporary housing, time-share condominiums, motels, hotels, schools and beaches.
| |
| Milk animals are cows, goats, and sheep whose milk is used in dairy products for human consumption.
| |
| Meat animals include, but are not limited to, deer, cattle , goats and sheep whose meat is used for human consumption .
| |
| 1 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, Section IV, B.3 Page I 81
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Fresh, leafy vegetables include, but are not limited to , lettuce, cabbage and spinach .
| |
| Fleshy vegetables include, but are not limited to, tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower and sweet corn.
| |
| The Land Use Census Scope The land area around SONGS includes both Orange and San Diego counties . The Orange County portion includes a portion of the city of San Clemente (official population as of July 2016 is 65 ,309 per the city's demographics and statistical information website) and the San Clemente State Park. The San Diego County portion includes much of the (USMC) Base Camp Pendleton , San Onofre State Beach and Park, and SONGS itself.
| |
| The LUC map is divided into 16 geographical sectors: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q and R. The ODCM surveillance requirement is performed by identifying the location of the nearest garden greater than 500 square feet, nearest milk animals , nearest residence , and other identified land uses in each of the sixteen (16) geographical sectors within a distance of five (5) miles from San Onofre Units 2 and 3. In addition , the Land Use Census aids in detecting changes in the presence of hazardous manufacturing and handling facilities within the five (5) mile radius. The methodology consists of reviewing data from the previous LUC reports and verifying if any information has changed. The LUC is conducted and updated at least once per 12 months between the dates of June 1st and October 1st. Also, non-residential usage such as fire stations , surf camps and other potential pathways of exposure to an individual are identified due to the fact that these usages are closer to full time residence based on information provided by the appropriate point of contact or agency.
| |
| Sectors A, B, C, D, E, and F include land within the boundaries of (USMC) Base Camp Pendleton. The study area in sector G includes the area along the coast south of SONGS.
| |
| Sectors H, J, K, L, M, and N are the Pacific Ocean , therefore no land use possible. Sectors P, Q, and R include a section of San Clemente and part of Camp Pendleton .
| |
| Research Methodology Completion of the 2017 SONGS Land Use Census required conversations with agencies ,
| |
| organ izations, individuals and field research. The Radiological Effluent and Environmental Specialist reviewed the previous 2016 LUC and associated documentation spreadsheet. Then the data was verified . If changes occurred , then changes were reflected in this Land Use Census . This was accomplished by contacting the point of contact for the appropriate agency, organ ization, or military base whom possessed knowledge on the land usage. The following agencies and organizations were contacted or additional information was researched through their respective websites :
| |
| * California Highway Patrol
| |
| * Orange County Agricultural
| |
| * State of California Department of Parks and Recreation , including San Onofre State Beach
| |
| * United States Border Patrol
| |
| * USMC Base , Camp Pendleton
| |
| * City of San Clemente In cases where it was deemed appropriate, letters requesting information were sent to residents that in the past Land Use Census have identified gardens 500 square feet or greater. The Page I 82
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR United States Border Patrol did not respond to our inquiries due to national security so an "estimated hours of occupancy" value of 2400 hours was utilized. It was determined that military personnel would have complete control over the land uses within their jurisdiction .
| |
| Communication provided by the point of contacts from Camp Pendleton and State Parks was considered final. Agency contact and documentation were completed in compliance with the Land Use Census procedure.
| |
| Field Research During and after the completion of the preliminary research , field research was undertaken to confirm initial find ings and obtain further information necessary to complete the Land Use Census. Field research was initiated in mid-August 2017.
| |
| Data and Methodology Summary The appropriate individual or organization was identified for each existing and new LUC location. The individual or organization was contacted to determine the use and occupancy for that location . For each LUC location , the appropriate individual was asked to provide an estimate of annual occupancy based on personal knowledge of the location . The information gathered is summarized in Table 1. Additional information , not requ ired by the ODCM , has been included in Table 2 for historical trending purposes.
| |
| Documentation Spreadsheet Throughout the study, records of contacts and findings were maintained in accordance with the Land Use Census Procedure, S0123-IX-1 .20. A documentation spreadsheet was prepared and retained in the Rad iological Effluents and Environmental files . The spreadsheet may have telephone notes, agency contacts, Southern California Edison (SCE ) memoranda, and any other types of correspondence .
| |
| 2017 Land Use Census Observations and Changes The follow observations were noted :
| |
| * Historically, several gardens have been identified on Avendia Salvador and documented in the Land Use Census. A drive by was conducted and the following was observed :
| |
| o Only a plot of land existed with an absence of a garden at 788 Avend ia Salvador.
| |
| Its designation was G-17. Since this plot of land has no garden , letters were sent to the owners at 786 Avendia Salvador and 790 Avendia Salvador addresses to verify any potential gardens.
| |
| o The owner at 786 Avendia Salvador in San Clemente located in Sector R, stated that a garden existed on the property. The newly identified garden was given the designation G-19.
| |
| o The owner at 790 Avendia Salvador stated that a garden no longer existed . This garden was given the designation G-20.
| |
| * The SONGS indicator garden was relocated to a location near Air Sampler #11 in order to return a portion of the MESA to the Department of the Navy. (from 0.4 miles NNW to 0.7 miles NNW).
| |
| * The sewage treatment plant that is northeast of the Mesa property was being upgraded with new storage tanks and equ ipment. Per the Camp Pendleton contact, this will not be manned continuously. The sewage treatment plant workers are required to check in on the facility 3 to 4 times a day.

| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Chemical and Toxic Waste The presence of manufacturing facilities , chemical plants, and toxic waste sites was researched to provide information in detecting any hazardous chemicals , which could impede the operation of SONGS through fire, explosion, or chemical spills. Some manufacturing is located in the northeastern section of the city of San Clemente and is outside the study area. No such uses are allowed to exist in the commercial and residential areas of the city of San Clemente within the study area. In Camp Pendleton, there are no designated manufacturing or chemical use areas within the 5 mile radius of the plant based conversation with Camp Pendleton 's Director of Community Plans and Liaison Office.
| |
| Milk Animals No dairies or other facilities producing milk for human consumption were identified in 2017.
| |
| Meat Animals No agricultural meat animals were identified during the 2017 LUC. The only known meat animal pathway land uses is recreational hunting . Deer graze year round on Camp Pendleton.
| |
| Growing Season for fleshy and leafy vegetables Leafy vegetable samples are available at the SONGS garden year round. Fleshy and leafy vegetables were available approximately eight months during 2017 at the SONGS garden.
| |
| Desalination Plant in Carlsbad, California The Carlsbad desalination plant ( officially known as the Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant) opened on December 14, 2015. The plant is 27 miles south of SONGS. It is located on the coast adjacent to the north end of the Encina Power Station. The plant produces approximately 50 million gallons of water per day. It is the largest and most technologically advanced desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. The plant produces enough water to meet the daily needs of 300,000 San Diego residents Summary of Changes For the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the Camp Pendleton deer hunting take data was updated and reflected in Table 3. Per the USMC wildlife biologist, the exact location of a particular kill was not known . The reported take area should be interpreted as an estimate of approximate location. Thus a deer reported taken in hunting area Alpha 2 may actually have been taken in an adjacent hunting area (such as Romeo 3 or Bravo 3). There were no changes to the estimated distances from SONGS to the nearest vegetation potentially consumed by deer from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

| Appendix G 2017 AREOR The 2016 AREOR text references incorrect number of cross check samples and an incorrect acceptance rate . Per the 2016 Annual Environmental Quality Assurance (QA) Report, GEL performed 501 individual cross check analyses representative of samples analyzed for SONGS.
| |
| The accuracy of each result reported to Eckert & Ziegler Analytics , Inc. is measured by the ratio of GEL's result to the known value. Over 98% of the cross-check sample results were acceptable, which satisfies GEL's QA criteria .

| |
| | |
| APPENDIX I 2017 AREOR Summary Per 10 CFR 72.126, SONGS implemented an area monitoring TLD program in the vicinity of the ISFSI. In the fourth quarter of 2001, 21 pre-operational TLDs were deployed in the area around the ISFSI foundation then under construction . This pre-operational TLD data are compared to the data obtained after the commencement of used fuel storage in the ISFSI for the purposes of estimating the additional exposure attributable to the operation of the ISFSI.
| |
| An evaluation of the entire REMP TLD database yielded an estimated background exposure rate of approximately 15 mR/std. quarter (91 days). However, some local variability within the CAB / EAB is to be attributable to factors external to SONGS. Another variable for the measured exposure rate is transit exposure to and from the TLD lab. The transit exposure is variable and is corrected by the lab. Therefore, a comparison of pre-operational data and operational data needs to be considered in conjunction with a comparison of ISFSI TLD data and the estimated baseline background exposure rate within the EAB.
| |
| Environmental exposure rates are variable and small changes in TLD location can measurably change the data. SONGS REMP TLD data show an environmental seasonal variability that does not appear to be related to any activities at SONGS. The ISFSI TLD data gathered to date appears to follow a similar seasonal variability (Figure 14). In addition to environmental factors, some non-lSFSI work activities at Unit 1 have elevated the pre-operational measured ISFSI TLD exposure.
| |
| The storage and transport of radioactive materials and waste near the location of the ISFSI foundation area in 2001 and 2002 appears to have elevated the exposure rates of TLDs 306 to 315. In addition, the movement of the Unit 1 reactor vessel in October 2002 caused a noticeable increase in the measured exposure for TLDs 301 to 315. The measured exposure rate for the ISFSI TLDs close to the ISFSI is consistent with the exposure rate expected from known radiological work activities. The elevated exposure rate from TLDs 301, 302, 303, 304, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327 and 328 is primarily due to the movement and storage of used fuel at the ISFSI.
| |
| In the second quarter of 2011 additional TLDs 327 and 328 were placed along the fence on the southwest side of the ISFSI. These TLDs routinely have the highest measured doses, as they did in 2017. These locations, however, are not accessible to members of the public. Publicly accessible REMP TLDs include SCE-55, SCE-56 and SCE-57. Only SCE-55 (San Onofre State Beach) recorded measurable dose, at approximately 14 mrem/yr. In 2016, additional ISFSI TLD locations were added immediately along the fence and seawall south and west of the ISFSI:
| |
| Locations SCE-339, 340, 341, 342 , 343 and 344 (see Figure 13).
| |
| Starting in the fourth quarter 2010 neutron dosimeters were placed in ISFSI TLD canisters 311, 324, 325, and 326. In the second quarter 2011 neutron dosimeters were also placed adjacent to TLDs 327 and 328. Beginning in the 4th quarter of 2016, neutron TLDs were co-located with locations SCE-339 through SCE-343. The neutron TLDs were added to obtain neutron information prior to the off load of spent fuel from Units 2 and 3.
| |
| The 201 7 neutron TLDs identified measurable levels of neutron radiation from spent fuel in storage. A dose equivalent conversion factor for the TLD neutron signal of 10.5 mrem/mR neutron has been applied, based on a similar ISFSI facility at another site. It is being applied to the SONGS TLD results only to provide an estimate of the neutron dose equivalent being measured. The neutron dose is not significant, and has been included in the quarterly results for these locations in Table 37 .
| |
| Page I 101
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX I 2017 AREOR Neutron exposure during fuel transfer is measurable at the fence surrounding the storage facility at low levels, estimated to be less than 3 mrem per quarter. These measurements demonstrate that the neutron exposure is bounded by the projected neutron dose rates in calculation SCE-23-0508, is well within the limits specified in 10CFR72.104 (0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to the whole body, 0.75 mSv (75 mrem) to the thyroid and 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to any other critical organ, and is consistent with known ISFSI rad iological conditions . The measured ISFSI gamma TLD exposure rates were also determined to be consistent with the calculated ISFSI dose rates and known rad iological conditions .
| |
| The results from all locations at the fence around the ISFSI pad show that a member of the public, if at those locations and adjusted for occupancy per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, is less than 2 mrem per year, well below regulatory limits.

| Cosmogenic Radionuclides (or isotopes) created when a high-energy cosmic ray nuclides interacts with the nucleus of an atom . These isotopes are produced within Earth materials such as rocks or soil, in Earth's atmosphere, and in extraterrestrial items such as meteorites. Radioactive isotopes beryllium-?
| |
| and beryllium-10 fall into this series of three light elements (lithium, beryllium, boron) formed mostly[citation needed] by cosmic ray spallation nucleosynthesis, both of these nuclides have half-lives too short for them to have been formed before the formation of the Solar System , and thus they cannot be primordial nuclides. Since the cosmic ray spallation route is the only possible source of beryllium-? and beryllium-10 occurrence naturally in the environment, they are therefore cosmogenic.
| |
| Below is a list of radioisotopes formed by the action of cosmic rays in the atmosphere; the list also contains the production mode of the isotope.

All three decay series start with extremely long lived radioactive, heavy elements that can be measured in geologic time units. They are Uranium-238 with an approximate half-life of 4.5 billion years, Uranium -235 with a half-life of about 700 million years ,
| |
| and Thorium- 232 with a half-life of 14 billion years. All three series contain some more well-known radioactive species, Radium and Radon .
| |
| Distinguishable from Detectable concentration of a radionuclide that is statistically different from background the background concentration of that radionuclide in the vicinity of the site or, in the case of structures, in similar materials using adequate measurement technology, survey, and statistical techniques.
| |
| Dose The amount of radiation that is absorbed by a person's body. In the radiation field the term dose is sometimes used interchangeably with dose equivalent, which is defined as the rem and described below.
| |
| fCi/m 3 acronym for a femto-curie per cubic meter, which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a particular air volume ,
| |
| such as a cubic meter. A curie , named after its discoverers Pierre and Marie Curie, is defined as the rate at which a radioactive element transforms itself into another element that is most often another radioactive element. It is mathematically equivalent to 37 billion disintegrations or transformations per second. A "femto" is a scientific prefix for an exponential term that is equivalent to one quadrillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000,000).
| |
| Half-life A measure of how fast half the mass of a radioactive element will transform itself into another element. Each radioactive element has its own unique rate of transformation. Consequently, if a radioactive element, such as lodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, then in 8 days half of the original amount of lodine-131 will be gone; in another 8 days half of that half will be left and so on .
| |
| Gamma A scientific method used to analyze gamma rays emanating from Spectroscopy radioactive elements. The analytical system determines the gamma ray energy which acts as a "fingerprint" for specific radioactive materials.
| |
| For example, Potassium-40 (K-40) has a very, distinctive gamma energy at 1460 keV. This uniqueness allows the instrument to positively identify the K-40 1460 energy as its own unique fingerprint. A keV is an abbreviation for kilo electron volt, which is a measure of energy at the atomic level. A kilo is a scientific prefix for the multiplier 1,000.

| | |
| 2017 AREOR Gross Beta A simple screening technique employed to measure the total number of beta particles emanating from a potentially radioactive sample , with higher values usually indicating that the sample contains natural and/or man-made radioactive elements. High values would prompt further analyses to identify the radioactive species. A beta is a negatively charged particle that is emitted from the nucleus of an atom with a mass equal to that of an orbiting electron .
| |
| Liquid Scintillation An analytical technique by which Tritium and many other radioactive contaminants in water are measured . A sample is placed in a special glass vial that already contains a special scintillation cocktail. The vial is sealed and the container vigorously shaken to create a homogeneous mix. When the tritium transforms or decays it emits a very low energy beta particle.
| |
| The beta interacts with the scintillating medium and produces a light pulse that is counted by the instrument. Although a different scintillation cocktail is used , this is basically how radon in well water is measured .
| |
| Millirem (mrem) one thousandth (1/1000) of a rem .
| |
| milliRoentgen (mR) one thousandth (1/1000) of a Roentgen pCi/kg an acronym for a pico-curie per kilogram , which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a unit mass, such as a kilogram .
| |
| A "pico" is a scientific prefix for an exponential term that is equivalent to one trillionth (1/1 ,000,000,000,000).
| |
| pCi/L an acronym for a pico-curie per liter, which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a unit volume, such as a liter.
| |
| Rem an acronym for roentgen equivalent man. It is a conventional unit of dose equivalent that is based on how much of the radiation energy is absorbed by the body multiplied by a quality factor, which is a measure of the relative hazard of energy transfer by different particles , (alpha , beta, neutrons, protons, etc.), gamma rays or x-rays . In comparison the average natural background radiation dose equivalent to the United States population is estimated to be 292 millirems per year, or 0.8 millirem per day, with 68 % of that dose coming from radon . A millirem is one thousandth, (1/1000), of a rem.
| |
| Roentgen a special unit of exposure named after the discoverer of X-Rays , Wilhelm Roentgen . It is a measure of how much ionization is produced in the air when it is bombarded with X-Rays or Gamma Rays. Ionization is described as the removal of an orbital electron from an atom .
| |
| Skyshine is radiation from a radioactive source that bounces off air molecules in the sky, much like a cue ball does off the banking of a billiard table, and is scattered/redirected back down to the earth.

Special readers are then used to heat the plastic to release the energy that was stored when the radiation was absorbed by the plastic. The energy released is in the form of invisible light and that light is counted by the TLD reader. The intensity of the light emitted from the crystals is directly proportional to the amount of radiation that the TLD Page 1111

| 2017 AREOR 1 Executive Summary On June 12, 2013, Southern California Edison notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that it had permanently ceased operation for both Units 2 and 3 on June 7, 2013. While all power operations have ceased, spent fuel remains stored on site. San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (hereafter referred to as San Onofre or SONGS) continues to fulfill its regulatory commitment to monitor the environment and potential exposure pathways. The REMP verifies that San Onofre has had no radiological impact to the surrounding environment or people and that it is within applicable state and federal regulations.
| |
| The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) includes the sampling of environmental media and measuring radiation levels in the environment surrounding SONGS.
| |
| Its purpose is to identify any levels of radioactivity or radiation associated with SONGS that have a potential exposure to a member of the general public. This is accomplished through the measurement of direct radiation and by the sampling and analyses of various environmental media, including:
| |
| * soil
| |
| * shoreline sediment (beach sand)
| |
| * air (particulate & iodine)
| |
| * local crops
| |
| * non-migratory marine species
| |
| * kelp
| |
| * drinking water
| |
| * ocean water
| |
| * ocean bottom sediments Samples are analyzed for both naturally occurring and SONGS plant-related radionuclides. A detailed description of the 2017 sampling locations and location maps are included in Appendix A of this report.
| |
| An independent assessment of environmental impact is performed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) through the collection and analysis of samples, placement of dosimeters and collection of air samples. In addition , the site participates in onsite and offsite inspections.
| |
| This report describes the REMP conducted at San Onofre and covers the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31 , 2017. The REMP produces scientifically defensible data demonstrating no observable radiological environmental impact from SONGS. This report fulfills applicable license commitments, as described in DPR-13, NPF-10, NPF-15, and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).
| |
| The REMP data collected during 2017, as in previous years , continues to be representative of background levels. The data is summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B. The radionuclides cesium-137 (Cs-137) in soil and iodine-131 (1-131) in kelp were detected above the minimum detectable concentration (MDC), with the Cs-137 being attributable to fallout from nuclear weapons testing and the Fukushima Daiichi accident in Japan and the 1-131 associated with medical administrations. These isotopes have been detected at indicator locations, as well as at control locations, in past years. Naturally occurring radionuclides, including beryllium-? (Be-7), potassium-40 (K-40), thorium-228 (Th-228) and thorium-230 (Th-230) were detected in both control and indicator locations at similar Page 11

| 2017 AREOR concentrations and are not related to the operation of SONGS. Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed discussion.
| |
| There is a natural and manmade radiation background . Natural background is comprised of the terrestrial and cosmic radiation sources while manmade background results from past weapons testing fallout and routine medical applications. Prior to the construction of SONGS, environmental samples and measurements were collected and analyzed to determine the baseline natural radiation levels. The results from the indicator stations are compared to this pre-operational data, as well as control samples, to evaluate if changes in any radiation levels can be attributed to SONGS or other causes such as natural variations in the environment or manmade contributions.
| |
| In summary, the environmental monitoring data collected during 2017 supports a conclusion of no adverse effect on the population or the environment from SONGS. The radiation exposures to people living in the surrounding area from SONGS remains less than 2 mrem per year, which is a small fraction of the radiation exposures in the environment from the natural background from terrestrial and cosmic radiation .
| |
| 2 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program 2.1 Program Overview A key purpose of the REMP is to characterize the radiological environment outside of the power block, providing data for assessing potential radiological impact resulting from the decommissioning activities for SONGS Units 2 and 3. It is designed and conducted :
| |
| * to detect any significant increase in the concentration of radionuclides in the pathways of exposure to the public,
| |
| * to detect any significant change in ambient gamma radiation levels, and
| |
| * to fulfill the radiological environmental monitoring requirements of the ODCM .
| |
| Exposure pathways are the different routes by which people can potentially be exposed to radiation or radioactive materials . The pathways may be characterized into four general types, shown below along with a brief description of the monitoring as performed at SONGS:
| |
| * AIRBORNE . The airborne pathway represents the inhalation intake of airborne radioactive materials. This pathway is sampled in areas around SONGS by continuously drawing air through specialized filters and charcoal cartridges 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although both units at SONGS have been shut down since January 2012, these air samples continue to be collected on a weekly basis.
| |
| * WATERBORNE. The waterborne pathways include the exposure to radioactive materials accumulated in aquatic biota (fish, shellfish) and in shoreline sediments.
| |
| These pathways are assessed through the collection of fish and shellfish samples in the environment around the plant. Sediment samples are also collected to evaluate any long-term buildup in the environment.
| |
| * INGESTION . The ingestion pathway includes broadleaf vegetation, agricultural products, and food products. Atmospheric releases from the plant can deposit on these food products, representing an intake exposure pathway through the consumption of these food products . Samples of crops (e.g ., tomato, lettuce, sorrel) are collected from the local area around the plant to evaluate any impact on this pathway.
| |

| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR
| |
| * DIRECT RADIATION. The direct radiation pathway represents the external exposure from sources on the plant site and directly from any radioactive effluents released to the air or water. This direct environmental radiation dose is measured through the use of direct measurement dosimeters, such as thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) or optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLs) that are placed around the plant site and in the local environment.
| |
| Figure 1 - Examples of Exposure Pathways 2.2 Site Area and Description San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station is located next to San Onofre State Beach, adjoining Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, in San Diego County, 64 miles south of Los Angeles, California. At this time there are no operating reactors, but in the past, there were three operating pressurized water reactors with a total rated capacity of 2664 net megawatts electrical.

| | |
| 2017 AREOR Figure 2 - SONGS 45 mile REMP Radius Unit 1, rated at 410 net megawatts electrical, was supplied by Westinghouse Electric Company.
| |
| Unit 1 began commercial operation on January 1, 1968. The unit was permanently shut down on November 30, 1992, and has been decommissioned. By August 31 , 2004, all fuel was transferred to the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). By November 29, 2006, all remaining monitored effluent pathways were permanently removed from service or routed to Unit 2 discharge to the outfall. Unit 1 is owned by Southern California Edison (80%) and San Diego Gas and Electric (20% ).
| |
| Unit 2 and Unit 3 were supplied by Combustion Engineering, Inc., with turbine generators supplied by G.E.C. Turbine Generators , Ltd., of England . The units began commercial operation on August 18, 1983, and April 1, 1984, respectively, and were rated at 1127 net megawatts electrical each. The twin units are owned by Southern California Edison (78.21%),
| |
| San Diego Gas and Electric (20% ), and the City of Riverside ( 1. 79% ).

In addition, the City of Anaheim retains financial responsibility for its spent fuel and for a portion of the Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs. The City of Anaheim remains a licensee for purposes of its retained interests and liabilities. Southern California Edison notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on June 12, 2013, that it had permanently ceased operation of Units 2 and 3 on June 7, 2013. The NRC notification, called a Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations, sets the stage for SCE to begin preparations for decommissioning .

| 2017 AREOR 2.3 Sample Collection and Analyses Samples of environmental media were obtained to meet the stated objectives . The selection of sample types was based on established important pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to exposures to individuals. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of REMP sample locations as described in Table 5-4 of the ODCM .
| |
| Sampling locations have been selected , considering the local environmental characteristics, including meteorology, land use and water use data . Two types of sampling locations are defined. The first type , representing control stations, is located in areas that are beyond the measurable influence of San Onofre, typically at distance of greater than 5 miles away. The sample results from these stations are considered representative of background levels with no potential for contribution from releases and sources at SONGS. The control stations also serve as indicators of rad ioactive sources other than SONGS, such as nuclear medicine applications.
| |
| The second type, representing indicator stations, is used to measure any radiation contributed to the environment caused by San Onofre. Indicator stations are located close to San Onofre (within 5 miles), reflecting the nearby areas to provide environmental measurements for releases from the plant. Indicator stations can be located either onsite or offsite .
| |
| As described in Section 4, below, the SONGS REMP is conducted in accordance with a Quality Assura nce Program , meeting the requirements of NRC Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1.
| |
| Samples are collected using approved methods; radiochemical analyses of these samples are performed using standardized analytical methods. The Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) participates in an inter-laboratory comparison program in partial fulfillment of the quality assurance requirements for environmental monitoring. The CEAL participated in cross check programs which meet the intent of Reg . Guide 4.15. See Appendix C for additional details.

| 2017 AREOR 2.3.1 Detection Limit Terminology The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires that equipment and analytical methods used for radiological monitoring must be able to detect specified minimum limits for the type sample and the radionuclide of the analysis. The a priori detection capability for the analytical system used for the measurement is referred to as the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD). This LLD ensures that radiation measurements are sufficiently sensitive to detect any levels of concern and small changes in the environment. Samples with no detectable radiation levels are typically referred to as less than the minimum detectable concentration (MDC). The MDC is evaluated for each sample and is used to ensure that the specific analysis has sufficient sensitivity to detect levels consistent with the requirements for analysis by the system LLD. For a more thorough discussion , refer to NUREG/CR-4007.
| |
| * Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) - The LLD is the a priori (before the fact) lower limit of detection for the method used for the analysis. It is a measure of the detection capability for the analytical method and not for any single sample analysis. This value is calculated for each isotope and every matrix based on typical or expected values of decay time , sample size, counter efficiency, etc. The LLD values are listed in the ODCM and represent the detection capability that the analytical methods must meet for the specified sample media.
| |
| * Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) - The MDC is the a posteriori (after the fact) lower limit of detection based on actual decay time , measured sample size, and counting efficiency for an individual sample analysis. The MDC is compared to the LLD to verify that the measurement met the ODCM requirements for the maximum value of the LLD for the listed analytes. Values above the MDC are presumed to represent "detected" levels of radioactivity.
| |
| * No Detectable (ND) - "No Detectable" is used for direct radiation dosimeters, such as TLDs and OSLs data , to designate when the exposure measured is below the expected background exposure, plus a calculated uncertainty. The TLD will have measured radiation exposure, but the magnitude of the exposure is within the expected range ,
| |
| accounting for natural background and seasonal fluctuations . ND indicates that there was no exposure above the background variation that is attributable to SONGS.
| |
| The sampling and analyses for the REMP are conducted in a manner to ensure the detection capabilities meet the specified requirements .

| 2017 AREOR 2.4 Regulations and Guidance
| |
| * 10 CFR 50, Appendix I 10 CFR 50, Appendix I establishes limits on releases of radioactivity to the environment and the resulting dose to the public. The limits are:
| |
| Source NRC Limits for SONGS Liquid Effluent Less than or equal to 3 mrem/yr to whole body from all pathways of exposure Less than or equal to 10 mrem/yr to any organ from all pathways of exposure Gaseous Effluents - Noble Less than or equal to 10 mrad/yr gamma air dose Gases Less than 20 mrad/yr, beta air dose Less than 5 mrem/yr, total body dose to an offsite exposed individual of the public lodine-131, tritium and Less than or equal to 15 mrem to any organ for an offsite particulates with half-life individual from all pathways of exposure greater than 8 days
| |
| * 40 CFR 190 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established environmental radiation protection standards in 40 CFR 190 for the uranium fuel cycle that includes nuclear power plants. These limits are applicable to the sum of liquid effluent, gaseous effluents and direct radiation.
| |
| The dose limits from all applicable pathways to any offsite individual are o 25 mrem/year to the whole body o 75 mrem/year to the thyroid o 25 mrem to any other organ As discussed in the 2017 SONGS Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report, the calculated dose to a member of the public as a result of SONGS is a small fraction of the dose standard established by the EPA. This conclusion is supported by the results of the REMP, as reflected by the absence of measurable levels of radiation or radioactive materials in the offsite environment attributable to SONGS.
| |
| Page 18
| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR The EPA established the following concentration limits for drinking water in 40 CFR 141 :
| |
| Source NRC Limits for SONGS Gross Alpha 15 pCi/L Gross Beta 50 pCi/L Ra-226 and Ra-228 5 pCi/L combined Sr-90 8 pCi/L Uranium 30 µG/L Tritium 30,000 pCi/L (limit for saltwater site; no downstream drinking water supplier)
| |
| These limits were selected to ensure that no member of the publ ic receives more than 4 mrem total body or organ dose, based on 2 liters per day drinking water intake. The sampling of ocean water and groundwater in and around the plant confirms that SONGS has no impact on public water supplies for the surround ing communities .

Data have been evaluated to identify the levels of any plant-related environmental radioactivity above background levels (i.e., plant-related contributions that are distinguishable from background).
| |
| For data distinguishable from background , a comparison has been made between current environmental monitoring results and preoperational or previous operational data as appropriate, for trending environmental radioactivity resulting from plant operation .
| |
| To conform with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV B.2, data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment are provided to allow for a comparison to the predicted (calculated) values in the environment from radioactive material released in effluents.
| |
| The tabulated means, ranges, and standard deviations are presented in Appendix B.
| |
| Compa risons with background and pre-operational baseline data are presented in Appendix D.

| | |
| 2017 AREOR The REMP data are reviewed for accuracy, compared against NRC reporting levels, and entered into the REMP database. Measurements exceeding the administrative levels (10% of the NRC reporting levels) are flagged . Analyses are performed using instrumentation and methods that provide analytical results with a level of detection as required by the ODCM. The a posteriori Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) is compared to the maximum value for the a priori Lower Limit of Detection (LLD) specified in the ODCM . This ensures that regulatory limits for the maximum LLD are met.

| |
| Cs-137 18 6E-02 150 80 180 I Ba-140, La-140 15 The impact of SONGS on the surrounding environment is assessed through a series of analyses. These analyses include: data reduction , comparisons of indicator to control locations (Appendix B); comparison of operational to preoperational environmental data (Appendix D);
| |
| summary of deviations from sampling requirements and corrective actions taken (Appendix E);
| |
| and the results of the 2017 Land Use Census (Appendix F).
| |
| The results of the 2017 monitoring program show no levels of direct rad iation or radioactive materials from SONGS distinguishable from background in the offsite environment.
| |
| Environmental samples from areas surrounding SONGS continue to indicate no radiological impacts from the plant. A detailed discussion of the 2017 analytical results is presented in Appendix B to Part II of this report. Analytical values from offsite indicator sample stations continue to trend with the control stations. With the exception of measured medical radioisotope iodine-131 in kelp , unrelated to SONGS, no measurements were distinguishable from background levels.
| |
| The data indicate that SONGS continues to have no measurable radiological impact on the environment or any member of the public during 2017. In addition, dose to members of the public attributable to SONGS related radiological activities remain well below regulatory limit of 100 mrem per year, as specified in 10 CFR 20, § 20.1301 and in keeping with the philosophy of "as low as is reasonably achievable" (ALARA), as specified in 10 CFR 20.1101 (b ).
| |
| The REMP data collected during 2017, as in previous years , continues to be in line with background levels. The data are summarized in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data found in Appendix B. Cesium-137 (Cs-137) is routinely identified in some soil samples and lodine-131 (1-131) is found in some kelp samples. Cs-137 and 1-131 are radionuclides that could be associated with releases from nuclear power plants, including SONGS. However, the level of Cs-137 found in soil is consistent with historical and expected Cs-137 concentrations from Page I 11
| |
| | |
| 2017 AREOR nuclear weapons testing . Since SONGS is no longer operating , there is not a realistic generation source for 1-131; therefore it is considered to be associated with use as medical administrations. It is no longer being generated as a fission product from the SONGS operation .
| |
| And with its 8-day radioactive half-life, it is unrelated to any decommissioning activities at SONGS. Naturally occurring radionuclides , including beryllium-? (Be-7), potassium-40 (K-40),
| |
| thorium-228 (Th-228) and thorium-230 (Th-230) were detected in both control and indicator locations at similar concentrations and are not related to the operation of SONGS. Refer to Appendix B for a more detailed discussion.
| |
| 3 Land Use Census In accordance with 10CFR Part 50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.3, each year a Land Use Census is performed to identify any changes in the use of areas at and beyond the site boundary.
| |
| Modifications to the monitoring program are made if required by the results of this census to reflect new or changes in locations for pathways of exposure around the plant. Appendix F of the report identifies changes to the census in 2017; no changes in the sampling media or sample locations were required . However, the SONGS indicator garden was relocated to a location near Air Sampler #11.
| |
| 4 Quality Assurance To assure quality of sample analyses, a portion of REMP is devoted to quality assurance. All REMP activities, including support contractors , are assessed as defined in Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1. The quality assurance program's main aspects include process quality control, instrument quality control , comprehensive data reviews , cross-check analyses, and audits.
| |
| Routine REMP assessments ensure that the program , procedures and personnel are performing satisfactorily. Samples are collected using approved methods; radiochemical analyses of these samples are performed using standardized analytical methods . Quality audits and independent technical reviews help determine areas that need attention . Thes~ areas are addressed in accordance with the station's Corrective Action Program .
| |
| Duplicate sampling of the environment is performed by SONGS to demonstrate repeatability of the sample collection , preparation , and analysis process. Split sample analysis is performed for the evaluation of the precision and bias trends of the method of analysis without the added variables introduced by sampling . SONGS participates in a sample splitting program with the California Department of Public Health Radiological Health Branch (CDPH-RHB) in accordance with the site's REMP procedures .
| |
| GEL Laboratories, LLC (GEL) performs the radiochemistry analysis of samples noted within this report. GEL performs the requested analysis under its Quality Assurance Program , which meets the requirements of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Appendix B Part 50, ASME NQA-1 and Regulatory Guide 4.15 Revision 1. The measurement capabilities of the radiological laboratory are demonstrated by participating in an inter-laboratory measurement assurance program and performing duplicate and split sample analyses. Approximately 10% of the analyses performed are quality control samples, consisting of inter-laboratory measurement assurance program samples, duplicate samples, and split samples . The inter-laboratory measurement assurance program provides samples that are similar in matrix and size to those sampled and measured by the REMP . This program assures that equipment calibrations and sample preparation methods accurately measure radioactive material in samples. See Appendix C for detailed QA measurement data.

| 2017 AREOR Stanford Dosimetry performs the environmental TLD analyses noted in this report. Stanford Dosimetry performs the requested analyses under its quality assurance program which meets the requirement of Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations Part 50, Appendix B, ASME NQA-1 and Regulatory Guide 4.15 Revision 1.
| |
| 5 Program Deviations Any deviation in the conduct of the program as required, either in terms of sample collection or analysis, requires an investigation as to the cause and identification of measures to prevent recurrence . Deviations from the sampling program or sensitivity requirements are acknowledged and explained in Appendix E to this report.
| |
| 6 Conclusion Radiological environmental data collected throughout 2017 have been evaluated to determine any impact that San Onofre operations has on the surrounding environment. To accomplish this, several methods of evaluation were employed , namely:
| |
| : 1. Compilation and verification of all data, as well as a determination of those data considered to be significantly greater than background levels.
| |
| : 2. Correlation of effluent concentrations to concentrations in the environment. Refer to Appendix B.
| |
| : 3. Examination of time dependent variations of pertinent radioisotopes in selected environmental media throughout the year at both indicator and control locations.
| |
| : 4. Comparison of radioactivity in various media in 2017 against the levels observed in preoperational years.
| |
| : 5. Historical trending of radionuclides in various media during operational years .
| |
| This evaluation did not identify any radionuclides attributable to the operation of SONGS above background in any sample measurement or media. It is concluded that the operation of SONGS throug h 2017 had no observable radiological environmental impact.

| | |
| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR To assess the changes or trends in the radioactivity level in the environment over the past year, the data from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 were evaluated. A summary of the type and number of REMP samples obtained in 2017 appears in Table 14.
| |
| The analysis results , as presented below, support the conclusion that all measured levels of radioactivity are attributable to sources external to SONGS (fallout from the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, or Chernobyl, residual fallout from legacy atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and discharge of medically administered 1-131 from the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall). Cs-137 has been intermittently detected in the indicator and in the control soil samples in past years and no correlation between Cs-137 level in soil and proximity to the plant has been observed .
| |
| Cs-137 levels in marine animal flesh found in indicator samples closely mirror those found in control samples. We conclude that SONGS had no statistically significant radiological environmental impact during 2017.

| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR A. Results and Discussions of 2017 Environmental Data
| |
| : 1. Direct Radiation Direct gamma radiation is monitored in the environment by calcium sulfate (CaS0 4 )
| |
| Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs) placed at 49 locations and analyzed quarterly per ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014 standards. The natural direct gamma radiation varies according to location because of differences in the natural radioactive materials in the soil, soil moisture content, and other factors. Figure 9 compares the direct gamma radiation measurements for indicator and control locations with those from the site EAB. The values plotted are the averages for all of the stations according to type. The trends of Figure 9 clearly show that any contribution from SONGS to the off-site environment direct dose component is negligible, being indistinguishable from the background variation .
| |
| Beginning in October 2016, SONGS implemented new ANSI/HPS N13-37-2014 for environmental dosimetry system design and implementation. In accordance with this standard, the raw TLD resu lts are adjusted by the exposure to air kerma (8. 76 mGy/R) and air kerma to ambient dose (1 .2 rem/Gy) conversion factors described in ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014, Section 3.2.1 . This change results in a slight increase in the value of the dose, by a factor of 1.05 mrem/mR. Previous results in the AREOR were expressed in mR, but in keeping with ANSI N13.37, 2017 results are expressed in mrem .
| |
| TLDs located greater than five miles from SONGS are generally considered control TLDs. The indicator locations are selected as inner and outer rings as required by the ODCM. Additional TLDs are placed at locations of interest such as schools and hospitals. All 2017 control location TLD readings were below the minimum detectable dose and all 2017 indicator location readings outside the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) were below the minimum detectable dose.
| |
| The Annual Public Dose, as referenced in Table 15, is based on the potential member of the public exposure at the listed location . For offsite locations, the occupancy factor is 1, for potential full-time occupancy. For onsite locations, at or near the EAB/CAB, the occupancy factor is determined per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, Direct Radiation Exposure Controls and Monitoring.
| |
| The data indicate detectable direct radiation measurements only in the immediate vicinity of SONGS, via those dosimeters placed either within or immediately adjacent to the EAB. The hypothetical maximum associated exposure to a member of the general public, adjusted for occupancy per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, is less than 1 mrem per year as measured by this sample media. Refer to Table 15 for a summary of all 2017 SONGS REMP TLD data .

These figures show the close correlation between the control and indicator location TLD exposure data. Beginning in 2016, the results have been increased by the conversion factors as described above. This increase, of roughly 1 mrem/quarter, can be seen in Figure 9 above.
| |
| Ten laboratory control TLDs were analyzed quarterly. TLD numbers 1, 23, 31 , 33, 44, 47, 49, 50, 53, 54 and 74 are control TLDs. Separate TLDs are used to compensate for transit dose and a fade TLD is used to evaluate for the time and temperature dependent "fade" that may affect dosimeter data . After the samples were analyzed , the measured doses were corrected for pre and post fi eld exposure times .
| |
| Neutron dosimeters were placed at REMP TLD station 55 and at selected locations around the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). In 2017 no neutron radiation was detected at station 55. Some neutron radiation (up to 2.4 mrem/quarter) was detected at some of the ISFSI locations.
| |
| : a. Direct Radiation baseline evaluation and estimation of natural background An in-depth analysis of the environmental radiation results for the period of 2001 through 2010 was completed for all the monitoring locations. It can be inferred that if the standard deviation was low and no additional exposure above background was identified at a particular station , the average of that station's radiation exposure results should be equal to natural background (baseline) at that location. The baseline results for REMP TLDs have been summarized with the annual and quarterly values in the 2017 TLD Data Table. Natural background radiation is variable and a minor shift in location can yield a measurable change in background radiation . Therefore if a TLD is moved the baseline (background) for that location may be affected.
| |
| Page 129
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX B 20 17 AREOR The baseline environmental exposure analysis of 2001 through 2010 environmental TLD results included an assessment of the standard deviation of the quarterly results and annual totals at each control location . This is an appropriate methodology to determine the ability to detect radiation exposure above background , described in ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014, "Environmental Dosimetry -
| |
| Criteria for System Design and Implementation ." The quarterly and annual results expressed in Table 15 are positive exposure if they exceed either 5 mrem quarterly or 10 mrem annually. If not, the measurement is noted as "ND" for "Not Detectable.
| |
| An empirical determination of the background baseline for stations within the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) is not possible due to the known plant related radiolog ical activities (e.g., storage and transport of radioactive materials) that occurred during the baseline calculation study period.
| |
| The average of the non-EAB stations close to the beach was approximately 15.8 mrem per quarter. A value of 15.8 mrem per quarter was conservatively selected as the baseline for the REMP stations located within the EAB.
| |
| In 1980 the Department of Energy (DOE) conducted an Aeri al Radiological Survey of SONGS and the surrounding area. The baseline/background value of 15.8 mrem per standard quarter within the SONGS EAB is consistent with the 1980 gamma exposure rates reported by the DOE for the areas immediately north and south of SONGS , taking into account the reduction in environmental radioactivity and background dose rates caused by the decay of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing fallout since 1980.

| |
| : b. Quality Control Duplicate Direct Radiation Samples Duplicate Quality Control (QC) TLD was installed adjacent to TLD #66. The duplicate TLDs agreed closely with the indicator TLDs, see Appendix C for results . These TLDs were not required by the ODCM and are not included in the Statistical Summary of REMP Data .
| |
| : c. ISFSI Direct Radiation Samples Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) TLDs were placed in the vicinity of the ISFSI. Data from these TLDs have not been included in the statistical summary of REMP data since these TLDs are not required by the ODCM . The ISFSI data are listed and discussed in Appendix I.
| |
| : 2. Airborne Particulate, Iodine, and Composite Isotopic Analyses Air particulate samples were collected on a weekly basis from seven indicator locations and from one control location. The samples were analyzed for gross beta activity, 1-131, and composited quarterly for gamma isotopic analysis . Sample locations were selected according to the req uirements of the ODCM.
| |
| Gross beta analysis is a measure of total radioactivity of beta-emitting radionuclides in a sample. Beta radiation is emitted by many radionuclides, but beta decay gives a continuous energy spectrum rather than the discrete energy lines or peaks associated with gamma radiation. Gross beta measurements can only be used as an indicator of potentially elevated levels; it does not identify specific radionuclides . Gross beta measurement data serves as a screening tool to determine if further analysis is required.
| |
| All weekly gross beta activity analysis results were above the MDC. The concentration of ~ross beta activity in the samples collected from the indicator locations ranged from 0.009 pCi/m to 0.096 pCi/m 3 , averaging 0.025 pCi/m 3 of air. The concentrations of gross beta activity in the samples from the control location ranged from 0.008 to 0.091 pCi/m 3 , averaging 0.026 pCi/m 3 of air. There is seasonal variability to the gross beta results for air samplers, and the magnitude of the results in 2017 are not significantly different from what has been seen in previous years .
| |
| Near the later portion of 2017, there was a noticeable increase in the gross beta data for all locations, both control and indicators. This trend will be monitored in 2018, and the fact that the trend is evident in both control and indicator locations shows that this is not the result of releases of radioactive material from SONGS.
| |
| Per the requirements of the ODCM, Section 5, Table 5-1 , an assessment was performed to determine whether the gross beta activity of the indicators exceeded 10 times the background
| |
| ( control location #16). The results showed that indicator locations maximum gross beta activity in air in 2017 was 0.096 pCi/m 3 which is less than 10 times the average background measured at the control location (0.026 pCi/m3). No further action is required by the ODCM .
| |
| Indicator samples analyzed for 1-131 were all identified below the MDC. No action was required by the ODCM.
| |
| In summary, average quarterly air particulate sample beta activity from the indicator stations and control station have been compared historically through 2017. The average of the indicators trends closely with the offsite control values . The comparison illustrates that SONGS has not contributed to detectable levels of radioactive material in the environment around the plant. There has been no detectable impact of the plant on air radioactivity. These stations are located near the site boundary downwind from the plant, based on the prevailing wind direction.
| |
| The beta activity measured in the air particulate samples is from naturally occurring radioactive material. Gamma analyses are performed on quarterly composites of the air particulate samples to determine if any activity is from SONGS. The gamma analyses have revealed no radioactivity from SONGS.

| |
| : 3. Ocean Water Monthly ocean water samples were collected from three indicator locations near each station discharge and from the control location at Newport Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides, including tritium.
| |
| Quarterly composite ocean water samples were analyzed for tritium according to ODCM requirements .
| |
| Throughout 2017, only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in the monthly gamma spectral analyses of ocean water. Monthly ocean water samples were also analyzed for tritium, consistent with the State of California Department of Public Health (DPH) split sample program.
| |
| During 2017 all REMP ocean water sample results for tritium were below the count specific MDC.
| |
| The data indicate that the operation of SONGS had no measurable impact on the environment as measured by ocean water.
| |
| : 4. Drinking Water In 2017, monthly drinking water samples were collected from one indicator location and from the Oceanside control location. Samples were analyzed for tritium, gross beta, and naturally occurring and SONGS related gamma emitting rad ionuclides. There is no drinking water pathway for liquid effluent at SONGS.

| No station related radionuclides were detected in drinking water during 2017. Gross beta activity was identified in some samples, but gamma spectroscopy identified only natural radionuclides . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by drinking water.
| |
| : 5. Shoreline Sediment (Beach Sand)
| |
| Beach sand was collected semiannually in 2017 from three indicator locations and from a control location situated in Newport Beach . After collection , the samples were analyzed for plant related and naturally occurring radionuclides . Only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in all samples. No plant related radionuclides were reported above the MDC. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured in beach sand .
| |
| : 6. Ocean Bottom Sediments Ocean bottom sediments were collected from three indicator locations and the Laguna Beach control location . The samples were analyzed by gamma spectral analysis for naturally occurring and station related radionuclides . Only naturally occurring radionuclides were detected in ocean bottom sediment samples collected during 2017.
| |
| Four non-ODCM ocean bottom sediment samples were obtained from two locations, Unit 2 outfall conduit and Unit 3 outfall conduit. The conduit samples were collected to measure the radiological environmental effect potentially resulting from the minor conduit leakage. During 2017, all conduit sample analysis results were below the MDC for station related radionuclides .
| |
| The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by ocean bottom sediments.

| : 7. Marine Species (Flesh)
| |
| Species of adult fish , crustacean and mollusks were collected on a semi-annual basis at the SONGS Unit 1 outfall , the SONGS Units 2/3 outfall and from Laguna Beach control location .
| |
| The flesh portion of each sample type was analyzed for gamma-:emitting station-related and naturally occurring radionuclides . The results were subsequently reported to SONGS in terms of wet sample weights. Because results based on a wet sample weight are most useful for calculating doses, the results of sample analyses are summarized in terms of "as received" wet weights. No plant related radionuclides were detected above the MDC.
| |
| Naturally-occurring radionuclides were detected in marine species samples collected during 2017. The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium.
| |
| : 8. Local Crops Fleshy and leafy crops were collected semiannually in 2017 from the SONGS garden and from the control location 21 miles SE from SONGS Units 2/3 midpoint. Tomato, cabbage, sorrel and yellow squash were sampled in 2017, and only naturally occurring radionuclides were identified.
| |
| No plant related radioactivity was detected . It is concluded that in 2017 SONGS had no measurable impact on local crops.
| |
| : 9. Soil To determine if there is evidence of a build-up of radionuclides in the land near SONGS, indicator soil samples were collected from Camp San Onofre, Old Route 101 , Basilone Road and the East Site Boundary (Former Visitor's center). A control sample was obtained from Prince of Peace Abbey in Oceanside. Surface soil was collected from all indicator and control locations at the depth of 3 inches. The sampling protocol is consistent with the procedure described in HASL-300. Soil sampling is not required by the ODCM.
| |
| Soil sa mples were analyzed for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related gamma-emitting radionuclides using gamma spectral analysis. The 2017 soil samples showed measurable levels of naturally occurring radionuclides . Cs-137 was detected in two indicator samples (0.042 and 0.193 pCi/g) and the control sample (0.046 pCi/g). Cs-137 in environmental soil samples at these levels is often attributable to residual nuclear weapons testing fallout or to the Fukushima accident.
| |
| Cs-137 and strontium-90 (Sr-90) were detected in soil profile analyses conducted in previous years. These radionuclides are mostly due to the nuclear weapons testing fallout depositing on soil and retention of these radionuclides due to their long half-lives. The presence of Cs-137 in the indicator and the control locations in previous years supports the conclusion that the major source of this radionuclide is fallout deposition . During 2017, the operation of SONGS did not have a measurable effect on the environment as measured by soil samples.

| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR 10.Kelp Kelp was collected in April and October of 2017 from the San Onofre kelp beds, San Mateo kelp bed , Barn kelp bed , and from the Salt Creek control location . Upon collection , the samples were analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and station-related radionuclides . Naturally occurring radionuclides (such as K-40, Th-234 and others) were detected in all samples in 2017, from both indicator and control locations. lodine-131 was identified in all samples from April 2017, in both the indicator and control locations. 1-131 was not detected in any of the October 2017 samples, however. lodine-131 is a relatively short-lived radionuclide with an 8-day half-life. It is produced and released from operating nuclear power plants. SONGS is shutdown with the nuclear fuel stored in spent fuel pool so 1-131 is not being generated. That, along with the fact that the 1-131 was identified in either all samples (April) or no samples (October) indicates that these positive results are not from SONGS operations.
| |
| 1-131 has been detected at indicator and control locations in previous years. 1-131 data in ocean water samples near SONGS have been consistently indistinguishable radiologically from background. The northern control locations are too far away and in the predominantly upstream current direction for the 1-131 activity to be attributable to SONGS. The Salt Creek control kelp sample station near the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall has consistently yielded the highest 1-131 activity measured in kelp and has consistently yielded 1-131 above radiological background.
| |
| Figure 10 shows a relatively close correlation between indicator and control locations over an extended period, further supporting the assessment that the likely source for this radionuclide is external to SONGS. (Note: Figure 10 includes all 1-131 results, including those that are below the MDC.)

| Figure 10 131 in Aquatic Kelp Refer to Figure 11 for the relative location of the kelp beds, the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall ,
| |
| and the SONGS outfalls. The data strongly support the conclusion that the 1-131 detected in kelp is attributable to medically administered 1-131 discharged through the San Juan Sewage Plant outfall and not to the operation of SONGS.

| : 11. Correlation of Effluent Concentration to Concentrations in the Environment In accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, Section IV, B.2, data on measurable levels of radiation and radioactive materials in the environment have been evaluated to determine the relationship between quantities of radioactive material released in effluents and resultant radiation doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure.
| |
| REMP samples, both terrestrial and marine, indicated no accumulation of plant-related radioactivity in the environs. No samples exceeded investigation levels and, in fact, all samples with detectable activity were not statistically different from controls and were therefore attributed to non-plant-related sources-past nuclear weapons fallout, Chernobyl , Fukushima, and medical iodine releases in sewage . As such, the operations of SONGS did not have any measurable effect on the environment.
| |
| The regulatory requirement to evaluate the relationship between quantities of radioactive materials released in effluents and the resultant radiation doses to individuals may be summarized by the following conclusion :
| |
| Page 137
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX B 2017 AREOR Effluent program releases are evaluated annually to determine the receptor(s) with the highest hypothetical dose. The 2017 REMP sample data indicated no accumulation of plant-related radioactive materials in the offsite environment, thereby lending confirmation to the adequacy of the in-plant effluent controls program and dose assessments.

Marine radiological environmental samples are collected by a vendor, MBC Environmental , per the vendors Quality Assurance manual. REMP sample analysis is performed by the Contracted Environmental Analysis Laboratory (CEAL) in accordance with the Laboratory Quality Assurance Plan . During 2017 the CEAL was General Engineering Laboratory (GEL). The CEAL for REMP TLDs was Stanford Dosimetry.

| Table 30 - 2017 Duplicate TLD Data D. Calibration of Air Sampler Volume Meters Air sam plers undergo annual calibration using standards referenced to NIST on all REMP air sampler gas meters. When the gas meters are removed from service, the meter is calibrated and the calibration reports are reviewed for bias. This is an a posteriori review of the gas meter performance to evaluate method bias and to identify possible outlier analysis results. For 2017, the calibration reports for five of the air samplers used in the REMP were reviewed. The as found condition of these samplers were that some (2/5) were negatively biased , up to 28% low (at a flow rate of 1.5 scfm). Others (3/5) were positively biased, up to 22% high. A review of the air particulate beta results over the course of the year did not indicate a particular bias for any particular sampler. The trends in the beta results over the course of the year were consistent regardless of which sampler (location) was being monitored .

| APPENDIX C 2017 AREOR E. lnterlaboratory Cross-Check Program:
| |
| The CEAL participates in a number of independent cross check programs, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Analytics cross-check programs . A summary of the cross-check data is included below. In the 151 quarter of 2017, the gross alpha analysis for water samples did not meet the applicable performance evaluation. This condition was identified and documented by GEL, via CARR170227-1085. The sample was re-analyzed with an acceptable result. In the 3rd quarter of 2017, the 1-131 analysis for water was not acceptable. GEL CARR170828-1125 documented the issue, and the lab determined that the observed positive bias was an isolated occurrence and the laboratory's overall process is in control.
| |
| Per the 2017 Annual Environmental Quality Assurance (QA) Report, GEL was provided ninety-two (92) individual environmental analyses. The accuracy of each result reported to Eckert &
| |
| Ziegler Analytics, Inc. is measured by the ratio of GEL's result to the known value . All results fell within GEL's acceptance criteria (100%)
| |
| In 2017, the environmental TLDs, routine quality control (QC) testing was performed for dosimeters issued by the Environmental Dosimetry Company (EDC). During 2017, 100%
| |
| (72/72) of individual dosimeters evaluated against the EDC internal performance acceptance criteria (high-energy photons only) met the criterion for accuracy and 100% (72/72) met the criterion for precision.
| |
| The CEAL's performance meets the criteria described in Reg. Guide 4.15 and ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014.

| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR Comparison of Operational to Preoperational Data and Analysis of Trends Unit 1 achieved criticality on June 14, 1967 and was permanently retired from service on November 30, 1992. Unit 2 attained initial criticality on July 26 , 1982 and Unit 3 on August 29, 1983.
| |
| A variety of environmental samples were analyzed and the analytical results (January 1, 1979 to July 31, 1982) were compared with the 2017 operational data obtained for SONGS Units 2/3.
| |
| The following media were evaluated and compared with the operational data of SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3:
| |
| * External Radiation
| |
| * Air Particulates
| |
| * Radioiodine
| |
| * Ocean Water
| |
| * Shoreline Sediment (Sand)
| |
| * Ocean Bottom Sediments
| |
| * Marine Species
| |
| * Local Crops
| |
| * Soil
| |
| * Kelp
| |
| * Drinking Water The measurements obtained from the SONGS Unit 1 operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) during the period from January 1979 to July 1982 are used as the preoperational baseline for SONGS Units 2/3. This is in accordance with San Onofre Units 2/3, Environmental Report, Operating License Stage, Appendix 6A, Pre-operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring, May 31, 1978. Comparisons of preoperational data to 2017 operational data are possible for each of the following exposure pathways: ( 1) direct radiation, (2) air particulates (inhalation), and (3) ocean water (marine pathway for ingestion).
| |
| Comparisons can also be made between preoperational and operational data for ocean bottom sediment data to ascertain if there has been any significant increase in radioactivity in ocean bottom sediments near the SONGS Units 2/3 outfalls.
| |
| Currently the preoperational data are higher than the operational data. The decrease in radioactivity is due primarily to the cessation of nuclear weapons testing and to the decay of fallout radionuclides. There is a close correlation between indicator and control data over several decades. There are no indications of adverse effects from SONGS on the environment.
| |
| Page 168
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR A. Direct Radiation The direct radiation measurements for the SONGS REMP were made by TLDs on a quarterly collection cycle at 38 indicator locations and 11 control locations in 2017. (See Appendix I for ISFSI TLD data). The TLDs were located at inner and outer ring locations as specified by the ODCM. During the preoperational period from January 1979 to July 31, 1982, the indicator stations ranged from 16.1 to 46.6 mR. The preoperational indicator average was 25.3 mR. The preoperational control range was 19.3 to 30.1 and the control mean was 23.1 mR. During the 2017 operational year for Units 2/3, the routine indicator TLD locations ranged from 9. 7 to 21.6 mrem, averaging 16.7 mrem while the control locations ranged from 13.1 to 20.7 mrem with an average of 17.0 mrem. Outside the EAB, all TLD results (control and indicator, for quarterly and annual measurements) are below each locations historical background plus the minimum differential dose (see ANSI/HPS N13.37-2014). Refer to Appendix B for a detailed discussion of the REMP TLD data .
| |
| Factors such as meteorology, local geology, the fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing , and seasonal fluctuations account for the variability in the data as observed during the preoperational period for each location . The decrease in radiation levels at all TLD sample locations is attributable to the curtailment of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing , and the continued decay of the manmade background from fallout from past nuclear weapons tests.
| |
| Figure 9 compares the environmental radiation levels of selected indicator and control locations.
| |
| Simultaneous variation in the radiation levels at both the control and indicator locations shows that the variations are due to factors external to SONGS. Outside the EAB there were no measurable levels of increased direct radiation associated with SONGS as measured by TLD.
| |
| B. Airborne Particulates From January 1979 through July 1982 ( considered to be the preoperational period for SONGS Units 2/3), there was a noticeably higher gross beta activity in air at all sample locations. This period extends from the fourth quarter of 1980 through the fourth quarter of 1981 . These higher activity levels were attributable to the Chinese atmospheric nuclear weapons test conducted on October 15, 1980.

| |
| For 2017, the maximum monthly average airborne particulate gross beta result was approximately 0.029 pCi/m 3. This result is in line with both recent history and SONGS preoperational data .
| |
| C. Radioiodine Most of the preoperational data for 1-131 level was below the detection limit. All the 2017 operational 1-131 data were below the detection limit. This is expected , as the shutdown and defueled SONGS is no longer producing 1-131 , and all previously produced 1-131 has decayed away. SONGS had no effect on the environment as measured by the radioiodine cartridge data in 201 7.
| |
| D. Ocean Water Monthly ocean water samples were collected near each of the Station discharge outfalls, and from the Newport Beach control location . The ocean water samples are analyzed for naturally-occurring and station-related gamma-emitting radionuclides . Samples were composited quarterly and analyzed for tritium .
| |
| Page 170
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR During the preoperational period, naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected in each of the samples collected from both indicator and control locations. Other gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in only one ocean water sample. In May 1980, Co-58, Co-60, Cs-134, and Cs-137 were detected in an ocean water sample collected from the SONGS Unit 1 outfall. Concentrations of the radionuclides in this sample were 11 , 6, 380, and 430 pCi/1, respectively. Tritium was also detected in two of the ocean water samples collected in May 1980 from the SONGS Unit 2 outfall and from the Newport Beach control location.
| |
| The data for all plant related radionuclides at all ocean water locations during the 2017 operational period were not detectable and below the MDC. We conclude that the operation of SONGS had a negligible impact on the environment as measured by this sample medium .
| |
| E. Drinking Water Due to its location on the beach, there is no drinking water pathway for SONGS. Nonetheless, drinking water samples from Oceanside and Camp Pendleton were collected and analyzed. No plant related radionuclides were detected during the 2017 operational period. Gross beta activity (from natural radionuclides) was detected during both the operational and preoperational periods at both the indicator and the control locations. No plant related radionuclides (including tritium) have been identified in 2017 , and no trends have been noted . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.
| |
| F. Shoreline Sediments (Sand)
| |
| Beach sand is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated at Newport Beach. The samples are analyzed for naturally occurring and plant-related radionuclides.
| |
| To assess the impact of SONGS operations on this environmental medium, preoperational data were compared to 2017 operational data. The radionuclide detected in shoreline sediment in the preoperational time frame was Cs-137 with a range of 0.012 to 0.022 pCi/g, averaging 0.019 in 5 sediment samples. One control sample with a Cs-137 activity of 0.032 pCi/g was observed in July 1979. The presence of Cs-137 in both control and indicator locations during the preoperational period leads to the conclusion that the root cause is external to SONGS and is most likely attributable to atmospheric nuclear weapons testing. No SONGS-related radionuclides were detected in shoreline sediment during the 2017 operational period . The operation of SONGS had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.

| G. Ocean Bottom Sediments During the preoperational and operationa l periods, representative samp les of ocean bottom sediments were collected semiannually from each of the Station discharge outfalls and from a control station in Laguna Beach. The samples were analyzed for naturally occurring and SONGS related radionuclides .
| |
| Duri ng the preoperationa l period . Manganese-54 (Mn-54) was detected in 5 of the 28 sam ples.
| |
| The concentrations of Mn-54 in these samples ranged from 0.015 to 0.49 pCi/g, averaging 0.13 pCi/g. Cobalt-58 (Co-58) was detected in nine samples . The concentration of Co-58 in the samples ranged from 0.013 to 1.16 pCi/g, averaging 0.20 pCi/g. Cobalt-60 (Co-60) was measured in 15 of the 28 samples. The concentration of Co-60 in the sample ranged from 0.014 to 8.1pCi/g, averaging 0.79 pCi/g. Cs-137 was also detected in 16 of the 28 samples.
| |
| The concentrations of Cs-137 in the samples ranged from 0.014 to 0.090 pCi/g , averaging 0.039 pCi/g . Cerium-144 (Ce-144) was found in two samples. The concentration of Ce-144 in the samples was 0.06 and 0.26 pCi/g , respectively.
| |
| Results of the 2017 data indicate that there has not been a build-up of radionuclides with time in ocean bottom sediments near SONGS. The results also indicate notable decrease in the concentrations of plant-related radionuclides in the ocean bottom sediment. Although Co-58, Co-60, and Cs-137 are normally associated with nuclear power operations, preoperational study reveals no accumulation trend for these radionuclides , and no increase in levels for these radionuclides was detected during the operational period .
| |
| The concentration of station-related radion uclides in all ocean bottom sediment samples ana lyzed in 2017 was below the MDC, supporting the conclusion of no detectable impact on ocean bottom sediments from SONGS.

| |
| Non-migratory marine species are collected semi-annually near SONGS. As a norm, marine species caught by the SONGS outfalls and from Laguna Beach include various species of adult fish, crustacean and mollusks. Upon collection the flesh portion is analyzed for gamma-emitting radion uclides as specified in the ODCM . The results are subsequently reported as pCi/g, wet weight.
| |
| Results for several marine species for both the preoperational and 2017 operational periods for Units 2/3 are summarized in Table 33. The marine species used for purposes of comparison include: Sheephead (a fish), Blacksmith (a fish) , Black Perch (a fish), Bay Mussel (a mollusk),
| |
| and Spiny Lobster (a crustacean). Radionuclides analyzed but not included in Table 33 were below the lower limits of detection for both the preoperational and operational periods .
| |
| During the 2017 operational period, no SONGS related radionuclides were detected above the MDC. The data indicate no accumulation trends. The operation of SONGS in 2017 had no impact on the environment as measured by this exposure pathway.

Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in cucumber, kale, and tomato samples from the indicator and control locations. Ce-144 and Zr-95 were detected in one sample of parsley at the control location at concentrations of 0.12 and 0.09 pCi/g, wet weight respectively.

| APPENDIX D 2017 AREOR J. Soil A comparison of operational and preoperational data does not reveal any accumulation pattern of SONGS related isotopes in soil. The intermittent detection of Cs-137 in both indicator and control locations is due to residual fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing .

Kelp Kelp is collected semiannually from three indicator locations and from a control location situated at Salt Creek. After collection , the samples are analyzed by gamma-spectral analysis for naturally-occurring and SONGS-related radionuclides.
| |
| To assess the impact of SONGS operations on kelp, preoperational data were compared to 2017 operational data in Table 35. Radionuclides detected during the preoperational period for SONGS include Mn-54, Co-60, Zr-95, 1-131 , and Cs-137 .
| |
| During the 2017 operational period , 1-131 was detected in three indicator and one control sample. No other station related isotopes were detected in kelp samples during the 2017 operational period. Figure 10 shows a close correlation between indicator and control sample locations over an extended period of time.
| |
| Although 1-131 activity has been detected in kelp since 1977, there is no evidence that the concentration of 1-131 or other station related radionuclides are a result of operations at SONGS. The presence of 1-131 in kelp is apparently due to the sewer release of medical administrations of radioisotopes , since it has been detected consistently in control as well as indicator locations. Since 1988 the concentration of 1-131, when detected, has typically been highest at the control locations.

| |
| | |
| APPENDIX E 2017 AREOR DEVIATIONS FROM ODCM SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS Deviations from the ODCM sampling requirements are identified below in accordance with section 5.0 of the ODCM . The performance standard for environmental data collection of 95%
| |
| was met for all sample types. During 2017, the ODCM specified a priori LLD was achieved for all REMP samples. Deviations from the ODCM were associated with external factors not within the control of REMP personnel such as limited availability of marine samples at the locations specified in the ODCM . The 2017 ODCM deviations had no meaningful impact on the REMP database and did not compromise the validity of the reported conclusions.
| |
| A. Direct Radiation Thermoluminescent Dosimeters (TLDs)
| |
| : 1. During the 2017 1st quarter TLD change out on 4/5/2017, it was identified that TLD #46 (South State Parks Beach Trail #1) had the bottom of the TLD canister broken off (vandalism) and the TLD was missing. A new TLD canister and the 2nd quarter TLD was re-established at the location . This resulted in a total of 195 direct radiation samples on Table 14 instead of 196 samples.
| |
| : 2. Collection of three (3) TLDs located on Camp Pendleton was delayed for the second quarter due to denial of access from Range Control. TLDs are normally collected between April 1 and 10, however they were collected on April 18 (AR 0317-39889).
| |
| B. Air Sampling At SONGS, there are a total of 7 Indicator and 1 Control Air Samplers.
| |
| Downtime for each air sampler in 2017 was due to weekly sample collection , annual Preventative Maintenance (PM) , and the change outs for the flow meters/pumps was approximately 46 minutes for each sampler.

| Weekly Change Out: 0.5 minutes (approx.) x 52 = 26 minutes Annual PM 15 minutes (approx.)
| |
| Annual Flow meter/Pump change out 5 minutes (approx.)
| |
| Downtimes in excess of 1 hour are addressed below for each ODCM required air sample.
| |
| : 1) Air Sampler #13 (Camp Pendleton). On February 21 , 2017, Camp Pendleton schedulers cancelled our access into Alpha-2 Training Area due to hazardous conditions created by rain storm on February 17, 2017. The roads in the area were impacted by flash flood conditions . The air sample was changed out on February 28, 2017 and analyzed. This resulted in one 14-day sample instead of two separate 7-day sample periods as required by the ODCM (AR# 0217-28430). Thus the total number of REMP air particulate samples listed on Table 14 was reduced to 415 samples for 2017.
| |
| : 2) On June 20, 2017, the air sampler pump failed after 95 hours of sample collection.
| |
| The samples were collected and analyzed . There was no detectable licensed plant material on sample's media (AR 0617-23286).
| |
| : 3) On November 26 , 2017 Air Sampler #13 was out of service from approximately 0138 to 0518, due to a power outage at the MESA.
| |
| : 4) On November 28, 2017 Air Sampler #13 was out of service from approximately 1202-1400, due to a power outage at the MESA.
| |
| In all these events, the Radiological Effluent and Environmental Specialist reviewed previous and post event's data to verify that all ODCM LLDs were met.

| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Introduction The regulatory basis for conducting a Land Use Census (LUC) is identified in 10CFR50, Appendix I, Sec IV.B.3. The purpose of the LUC is to "identify changes in the use of unrestricted areas and to permit modifications in monitoring program for evaluating doses to individuals from principle pathways of exposure. " 1 In addition, Regulatory Guide 4.15, Rev. 1, section C3 address that "written procedures should be prepared , reviewed, and approved for activities involved in carrying out the monitoring program. " The 2017 LUC was conducted to comply with the surveillance requirement as defined in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Section 5.2. The current Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Procedure S0123-IX-1 .20, Land Use Census, establishes the method of documenting and verifying land use results obtained in compliance to San Onofre's Technical Specifications and ODCM.
| |
| Executive Summary The land area around San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) is not subject to significant change due to the nature of the land uses. The area around SONGS is divided into sixteen (16) geographical sectors . The Pacific Ocean and United States Marine Corps (USMC)
| |
| Base Camp Pendleton comprise 13 of the 16 sectors surrounding SONGS. The City of San Clemente (a mature municipal area) and coastline comprise the remaining three sectors.
| |
| Therefore, the characteristics of the local land area substantially inhibit significant land use changes.
| |
| Definition of Uses Residence is defined as any structure (single-family house, apartment, mobile home, barracks or sim ilar unit) that is occupied by an individual(s) or resident(s) for three months or longer in a given year.
| |
| Other Specified Use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population as other than their primary residence. The use is divided into two categories : employment and non-employment related .
| |
| Employment use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population engaged in normal work activities regardless of the length of time spent at the location, and regardless of its permanence, including concession stands, restaurants , campground hosts, markets and guard shacks.
| |
| Non-employment-related use is defined as a location occupied by members of the general population who are not engaged in normal work activities, including campgrounds, temporary housing, time-share condominiums, motels, hotels, schools and beaches.
| |
| Milk animals are cows, goats, and sheep whose milk is used in dairy products for human consumption.
| |
| Meat animals include, but are not limited to, deer, cattle , goats and sheep whose meat is used for human consumption .
| |
| 1 10 CFR 50 Appendix I, Section IV, B.3 Page I 81
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Fresh, leafy vegetables include, but are not limited to , lettuce, cabbage and spinach .
| |
| Fleshy vegetables include, but are not limited to, tomatoes, cucumbers, cauliflower and sweet corn.
| |
| The Land Use Census Scope The land area around SONGS includes both Orange and San Diego counties . The Orange County portion includes a portion of the city of San Clemente (official population as of July 2016 is 65 ,309 per the city's demographics and statistical information website) and the San Clemente State Park. The San Diego County portion includes much of the (USMC) Base Camp Pendleton , San Onofre State Beach and Park, and SONGS itself.
| |
| The LUC map is divided into 16 geographical sectors: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q and R. The ODCM surveillance requirement is performed by identifying the location of the nearest garden greater than 500 square feet, nearest milk animals , nearest residence , and other identified land uses in each of the sixteen (16) geographical sectors within a distance of five (5) miles from San Onofre Units 2 and 3. In addition , the Land Use Census aids in detecting changes in the presence of hazardous manufacturing and handling facilities within the five (5) mile radius. The methodology consists of reviewing data from the previous LUC reports and verifying if any information has changed. The LUC is conducted and updated at least once per 12 months between the dates of June 1st and October 1st. Also, non-residential usage such as fire stations , surf camps and other potential pathways of exposure to an individual are identified due to the fact that these usages are closer to full time residence based on information provided by the appropriate point of contact or agency.
| |
| Sectors A, B, C, D, E, and F include land within the boundaries of (USMC) Base Camp Pendleton. The study area in sector G includes the area along the coast south of SONGS.
| |
| Sectors H, J, K, L, M, and N are the Pacific Ocean , therefore no land use possible. Sectors P, Q, and R include a section of San Clemente and part of Camp Pendleton .
| |
| Research Methodology Completion of the 2017 SONGS Land Use Census required conversations with agencies ,
| |
| organ izations, individuals and field research. The Radiological Effluent and Environmental Specialist reviewed the previous 2016 LUC and associated documentation spreadsheet. Then the data was verified . If changes occurred , then changes were reflected in this Land Use Census . This was accomplished by contacting the point of contact for the appropriate agency, organ ization, or military base whom possessed knowledge on the land usage. The following agencies and organizations were contacted or additional information was researched through their respective websites :
| |
| * California Highway Patrol
| |
| * Orange County Agricultural
| |
| * State of California Department of Parks and Recreation , including San Onofre State Beach
| |
| * United States Border Patrol
| |
| * USMC Base , Camp Pendleton
| |
| * City of San Clemente In cases where it was deemed appropriate, letters requesting information were sent to residents that in the past Land Use Census have identified gardens 500 square feet or greater. The Page I 82
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR United States Border Patrol did not respond to our inquiries due to national security so an "estimated hours of occupancy" value of 2400 hours was utilized. It was determined that military personnel would have complete control over the land uses within their jurisdiction .
| |
| Communication provided by the point of contacts from Camp Pendleton and State Parks was considered final. Agency contact and documentation were completed in compliance with the Land Use Census procedure.
| |
| Field Research During and after the completion of the preliminary research , field research was undertaken to confirm initial find ings and obtain further information necessary to complete the Land Use Census. Field research was initiated in mid-August 2017.
| |
| Data and Methodology Summary The appropriate individual or organization was identified for each existing and new LUC location. The individual or organization was contacted to determine the use and occupancy for that location . For each LUC location , the appropriate individual was asked to provide an estimate of annual occupancy based on personal knowledge of the location . The information gathered is summarized in Table 1. Additional information , not requ ired by the ODCM , has been included in Table 2 for historical trending purposes.
| |
| Documentation Spreadsheet Throughout the study, records of contacts and findings were maintained in accordance with the Land Use Census Procedure, S0123-IX-1 .20. A documentation spreadsheet was prepared and retained in the Rad iological Effluents and Environmental files . The spreadsheet may have telephone notes, agency contacts, Southern California Edison (SCE ) memoranda, and any other types of correspondence .
| |
| 2017 Land Use Census Observations and Changes The follow observations were noted :
| |
| * Historically, several gardens have been identified on Avendia Salvador and documented in the Land Use Census. A drive by was conducted and the following was observed :
| |
| o Only a plot of land existed with an absence of a garden at 788 Avend ia Salvador.
| |
| Its designation was G-17. Since this plot of land has no garden , letters were sent to the owners at 786 Avendia Salvador and 790 Avendia Salvador addresses to verify any potential gardens.
| |
| o The owner at 786 Avendia Salvador in San Clemente located in Sector R, stated that a garden existed on the property. The newly identified garden was given the designation G-19.
| |
| o The owner at 790 Avendia Salvador stated that a garden no longer existed . This garden was given the designation G-20.
| |
| * The SONGS indicator garden was relocated to a location near Air Sampler #11 in order to return a portion of the MESA to the Department of the Navy. (from 0.4 miles NNW to 0.7 miles NNW).
| |
| * The sewage treatment plant that is northeast of the Mesa property was being upgraded with new storage tanks and equ ipment. Per the Camp Pendleton contact, this will not be manned continuously. The sewage treatment plant workers are required to check in on the facility 3 to 4 times a day.

| | |
| APPENDIX F 2017 AREOR Chemical and Toxic Waste The presence of manufacturing facilities , chemical plants, and toxic waste sites was researched to provide information in detecting any hazardous chemicals , which could impede the operation of SONGS through fire, explosion, or chemical spills. Some manufacturing is located in the northeastern section of the city of San Clemente and is outside the study area. No such uses are allowed to exist in the commercial and residential areas of the city of San Clemente within the study area. In Camp Pendleton, there are no designated manufacturing or chemical use areas within the 5 mile radius of the plant based conversation with Camp Pendleton 's Director of Community Plans and Liaison Office.
| |
| Milk Animals No dairies or other facilities producing milk for human consumption were identified in 2017.
| |
| Meat Animals No agricultural meat animals were identified during the 2017 LUC. The only known meat animal pathway land uses is recreational hunting . Deer graze year round on Camp Pendleton.
| |
| Growing Season for fleshy and leafy vegetables Leafy vegetable samples are available at the SONGS garden year round. Fleshy and leafy vegetables were available approximately eight months during 2017 at the SONGS garden.
| |
| Desalination Plant in Carlsbad, California The Carlsbad desalination plant ( officially known as the Claude "Bud" Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant) opened on December 14, 2015. The plant is 27 miles south of SONGS. It is located on the coast adjacent to the north end of the Encina Power Station. The plant produces approximately 50 million gallons of water per day. It is the largest and most technologically advanced desalination plant in the Western Hemisphere. The plant produces enough water to meet the daily needs of 300,000 San Diego residents Summary of Changes For the period of July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the Camp Pendleton deer hunting take data was updated and reflected in Table 3. Per the USMC wildlife biologist, the exact location of a particular kill was not known . The reported take area should be interpreted as an estimate of approximate location. Thus a deer reported taken in hunting area Alpha 2 may actually have been taken in an adjacent hunting area (such as Romeo 3 or Bravo 3). There were no changes to the estimated distances from SONGS to the nearest vegetation potentially consumed by deer from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

| Appendix G 2017 AREOR The 2016 AREOR text references incorrect number of cross check samples and an incorrect acceptance rate . Per the 2016 Annual Environmental Quality Assurance (QA) Report, GEL performed 501 individual cross check analyses representative of samples analyzed for SONGS.
| |
| The accuracy of each result reported to Eckert & Ziegler Analytics , Inc. is measured by the ratio of GEL's result to the known value. Over 98% of the cross-check sample results were acceptable, which satisfies GEL's QA criteria .

| |
| | |
| APPENDIX I 2017 AREOR Summary Per 10 CFR 72.126, SONGS implemented an area monitoring TLD program in the vicinity of the ISFSI. In the fourth quarter of 2001, 21 pre-operational TLDs were deployed in the area around the ISFSI foundation then under construction . This pre-operational TLD data are compared to the data obtained after the commencement of used fuel storage in the ISFSI for the purposes of estimating the additional exposure attributable to the operation of the ISFSI.
| |
| An evaluation of the entire REMP TLD database yielded an estimated background exposure rate of approximately 15 mR/std. quarter (91 days). However, some local variability within the CAB / EAB is to be attributable to factors external to SONGS. Another variable for the measured exposure rate is transit exposure to and from the TLD lab. The transit exposure is variable and is corrected by the lab. Therefore, a comparison of pre-operational data and operational data needs to be considered in conjunction with a comparison of ISFSI TLD data and the estimated baseline background exposure rate within the EAB.
| |
| Environmental exposure rates are variable and small changes in TLD location can measurably change the data. SONGS REMP TLD data show an environmental seasonal variability that does not appear to be related to any activities at SONGS. The ISFSI TLD data gathered to date appears to follow a similar seasonal variability (Figure 14). In addition to environmental factors, some non-lSFSI work activities at Unit 1 have elevated the pre-operational measured ISFSI TLD exposure.
| |
| The storage and transport of radioactive materials and waste near the location of the ISFSI foundation area in 2001 and 2002 appears to have elevated the exposure rates of TLDs 306 to 315. In addition, the movement of the Unit 1 reactor vessel in October 2002 caused a noticeable increase in the measured exposure for TLDs 301 to 315. The measured exposure rate for the ISFSI TLDs close to the ISFSI is consistent with the exposure rate expected from known radiological work activities. The elevated exposure rate from TLDs 301, 302, 303, 304, 323, 324, 325, 326, 327 and 328 is primarily due to the movement and storage of used fuel at the ISFSI.
| |
| In the second quarter of 2011 additional TLDs 327 and 328 were placed along the fence on the southwest side of the ISFSI. These TLDs routinely have the highest measured doses, as they did in 2017. These locations, however, are not accessible to members of the public. Publicly accessible REMP TLDs include SCE-55, SCE-56 and SCE-57. Only SCE-55 (San Onofre State Beach) recorded measurable dose, at approximately 14 mrem/yr. In 2016, additional ISFSI TLD locations were added immediately along the fence and seawall south and west of the ISFSI:
| |
| Locations SCE-339, 340, 341, 342 , 343 and 344 (see Figure 13).
| |
| Starting in the fourth quarter 2010 neutron dosimeters were placed in ISFSI TLD canisters 311, 324, 325, and 326. In the second quarter 2011 neutron dosimeters were also placed adjacent to TLDs 327 and 328. Beginning in the 4th quarter of 2016, neutron TLDs were co-located with locations SCE-339 through SCE-343. The neutron TLDs were added to obtain neutron information prior to the off load of spent fuel from Units 2 and 3.
| |
| The 201 7 neutron TLDs identified measurable levels of neutron radiation from spent fuel in storage. A dose equivalent conversion factor for the TLD neutron signal of 10.5 mrem/mR neutron has been applied, based on a similar ISFSI facility at another site. It is being applied to the SONGS TLD results only to provide an estimate of the neutron dose equivalent being measured. The neutron dose is not significant, and has been included in the quarterly results for these locations in Table 37 .
| |
| Page I 101
| |
| | |
| APPENDIX I 2017 AREOR Neutron exposure during fuel transfer is measurable at the fence surrounding the storage facility at low levels, estimated to be less than 3 mrem per quarter. These measurements demonstrate that the neutron exposure is bounded by the projected neutron dose rates in calculation SCE-23-0508, is well within the limits specified in 10CFR72.104 (0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to the whole body, 0.75 mSv (75 mrem) to the thyroid and 0.25 mSv (25 mrem) to any other critical organ, and is consistent with known ISFSI rad iological conditions . The measured ISFSI gamma TLD exposure rates were also determined to be consistent with the calculated ISFSI dose rates and known rad iological conditions .
| |
| The results from all locations at the fence around the ISFSI pad show that a member of the public, if at those locations and adjusted for occupancy per SDS-RP1-PCD-1007, is less than 2 mrem per year, well below regulatory limits.

| Cosmogenic Radionuclides (or isotopes) created when a high-energy cosmic ray nuclides interacts with the nucleus of an atom . These isotopes are produced within Earth materials such as rocks or soil, in Earth's atmosphere, and in extraterrestrial items such as meteorites. Radioactive isotopes beryllium-?
| |
| and beryllium-10 fall into this series of three light elements (lithium, beryllium, boron) formed mostly[citation needed] by cosmic ray spallation nucleosynthesis, both of these nuclides have half-lives too short for them to have been formed before the formation of the Solar System , and thus they cannot be primordial nuclides. Since the cosmic ray spallation route is the only possible source of beryllium-? and beryllium-10 occurrence naturally in the environment, they are therefore cosmogenic.
| |
| Below is a list of radioisotopes formed by the action of cosmic rays in the atmosphere; the list also contains the production mode of the isotope.

All three decay series start with extremely long lived radioactive, heavy elements that can be measured in geologic time units. They are Uranium-238 with an approximate half-life of 4.5 billion years, Uranium -235 with a half-life of about 700 million years ,
| |
| and Thorium- 232 with a half-life of 14 billion years. All three series contain some more well-known radioactive species, Radium and Radon .
| |
| Distinguishable from Detectable concentration of a radionuclide that is statistically different from background the background concentration of that radionuclide in the vicinity of the site or, in the case of structures, in similar materials using adequate measurement technology, survey, and statistical techniques.
| |
| Dose The amount of radiation that is absorbed by a person's body. In the radiation field the term dose is sometimes used interchangeably with dose equivalent, which is defined as the rem and described below.
| |
| fCi/m 3 acronym for a femto-curie per cubic meter, which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a particular air volume ,
| |
| such as a cubic meter. A curie , named after its discoverers Pierre and Marie Curie, is defined as the rate at which a radioactive element transforms itself into another element that is most often another radioactive element. It is mathematically equivalent to 37 billion disintegrations or transformations per second. A "femto" is a scientific prefix for an exponential term that is equivalent to one quadrillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000,000).
| |
| Half-life A measure of how fast half the mass of a radioactive element will transform itself into another element. Each radioactive element has its own unique rate of transformation. Consequently, if a radioactive element, such as lodine-131 has a half-life of 8 days, then in 8 days half of the original amount of lodine-131 will be gone; in another 8 days half of that half will be left and so on .
| |
| Gamma A scientific method used to analyze gamma rays emanating from Spectroscopy radioactive elements. The analytical system determines the gamma ray energy which acts as a "fingerprint" for specific radioactive materials.
| |
| For example, Potassium-40 (K-40) has a very, distinctive gamma energy at 1460 keV. This uniqueness allows the instrument to positively identify the K-40 1460 energy as its own unique fingerprint. A keV is an abbreviation for kilo electron volt, which is a measure of energy at the atomic level. A kilo is a scientific prefix for the multiplier 1,000.

| | |
| 2017 AREOR Gross Beta A simple screening technique employed to measure the total number of beta particles emanating from a potentially radioactive sample , with higher values usually indicating that the sample contains natural and/or man-made radioactive elements. High values would prompt further analyses to identify the radioactive species. A beta is a negatively charged particle that is emitted from the nucleus of an atom with a mass equal to that of an orbiting electron .
| |
| Liquid Scintillation An analytical technique by which Tritium and many other radioactive contaminants in water are measured . A sample is placed in a special glass vial that already contains a special scintillation cocktail. The vial is sealed and the container vigorously shaken to create a homogeneous mix. When the tritium transforms or decays it emits a very low energy beta particle.
| |
| The beta interacts with the scintillating medium and produces a light pulse that is counted by the instrument. Although a different scintillation cocktail is used , this is basically how radon in well water is measured .
| |
| Millirem (mrem) one thousandth (1/1000) of a rem .
| |
| milliRoentgen (mR) one thousandth (1/1000) of a Roentgen pCi/kg an acronym for a pico-curie per kilogram , which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a unit mass, such as a kilogram .
| |
| A "pico" is a scientific prefix for an exponential term that is equivalent to one trillionth (1/1 ,000,000,000,000).
| |
| pCi/L an acronym for a pico-curie per liter, which is a concentration unit that defines how much radioactivity is present in a unit volume, such as a liter.
| |
| Rem an acronym for roentgen equivalent man. It is a conventional unit of dose equivalent that is based on how much of the radiation energy is absorbed by the body multiplied by a quality factor, which is a measure of the relative hazard of energy transfer by different particles , (alpha , beta, neutrons, protons, etc.), gamma rays or x-rays . In comparison the average natural background radiation dose equivalent to the United States population is estimated to be 292 millirems per year, or 0.8 millirem per day, with 68 % of that dose coming from radon . A millirem is one thousandth, (1/1000), of a rem.
| |
| Roentgen a special unit of exposure named after the discoverer of X-Rays , Wilhelm Roentgen . It is a measure of how much ionization is produced in the air when it is bombarded with X-Rays or Gamma Rays. Ionization is described as the removal of an orbital electron from an atom .
| |
| Skyshine is radiation from a radioactive source that bounces off air molecules in the sky, much like a cue ball does off the banking of a billiard table, and is scattered/redirected back down to the earth.

| Thermolu minescent very small plastic-like phosphors or crystals that are placed in a small plastic Dosimeters (TLD) cage and mounted on trees , posts, etc. to absorb any radiation that impinges on the material. Special readers are then used to heat the plastic to release the energy that was stored when the radiation was absorbed by the plastic. The energy released is in the form of invisible light and that light is counted by the TLD reader. The intensity of the light emitted from the crystals is directly proportional to the amount of radiation that the TLD Page 1111

| Tritium (Hydrogen-3 a special name given to the radioactive form of Hydrogen usually found in or H-3) nature. All radioactive elements are represented as a combination of their chemical symbol and their mass number. Therefore , Tritium, which is a heavy form of the Hydrogen molecule with one proton and two neutrons in the nucleus of its atom , is abbreviated and represented by its chemical symbol , H, for Hydrogen and 3 for the number of particles in its nucleus, or mass number. Similarly, other radioactive elements, such as Potassium-40, can be represented and abbreviated as K-40, and so on Page 1112}}
