Re: Summary of Scaup Events Per your request, the following is a summary of the sequence of events which led to the unfortunate loss of approximately 400 lesser and greater scaups last winter at the Cook Nuclear Plant.The Cook Plant is located in Bridgman, Michigan on the southeastern shores of Lake Michigan.We operate two 1100 megawatt Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors.Cooling water is supplied via three sixteen foot diameter corrugated steel pipelines located approximately 2250 feet offshore.Three octagonal intake cribs approximately 75 feet in diameter with velocity caps (see Attachments
Weoperatetwo1100megawattWestinghouse Pressurized WaterReactors.
¹1,¹2, and¹3)take suction in approximately 22 feet of water.Design flow at the bar racks on the structures is one foot per second with all three pipelines in use and all seven circulating water pumps in operation.
Coolingwaterissuppliedviathreesixteenfootdiametercorrugated steelpipelines locatedapproximately 2250feetoffshore.
Total flow through the once-through main condenser cooling water system is 1.6 million gallons per minute.The surrounding lake bottom consists of mostly sand.A limestone rip-rap stabilization zone surrounds the intake cribs, discharge structures and pipeline paths in front, of the plant.The limestone and intake cribs have formed a perfect substrate for, zebra mussels to attach and provide an abundant food source for lesser and greater scaups.All seven circulating water pumps were running, when the first scaups were discovered in the plant's screenhouse forebay.The plartt was operating in the de-ice mode in which the center intake pipeline was aligned as a discharge pipeline.This alignment necessary for repair work scheduled for the center intake valve.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 2Initial Scau Si htin s On December 5, 1991, plant personnel noted that over a 2 to 3 day period, approximately 90 to 100 dead scaups had collected in the screenhouse trash baskets after the screen wash pumps were run.The birds were not mangled or disfigured in any way.Plant personnel investigating the incident dissected one of the scaups in an attempt to determine the cause of death.Zebra mussels (Dreissena proventriculus of the animal.The gizzard was found to contain a number of zebra mussel shell fragments.

Death appeared to have occurred by drowning.It was hypothesized that the scaups were feeding on the abundant zebra mussel'population established on the circulating water intake cribs and surrounding rip rap.The MDNR Plainwell Office was notified by phone of the incident.Cook Plant Zebra Mussel Histor Zebra mussels were first detected at the plant on July 18, 1990 in the plant screenhouse forebay.Initial density estimates ranged from 0.25-0.67 individuals per square meter in the plant screenhouse forebay and intake cribs.In late fall of 1990, zebra mussel densities had increased to approximately 100 individuals per square meter.No migratory ducks were seen around the area of the intake cribs on Lake Michigan or found in the screenhouse trash baskets in 1990.In the spring of 1991, again, no migratory ducks were seen or found in the plant.During the summer of 1991, southern Lake Michigan underwent a population explosion of zebra mussel's.This was confirmed by bio-monitoring studies performed at the plant.By the fall of 1991, zebra mussel densities at the intake cribs had increased to approximately 180,000 to 200,000 per square meter.The Plant utilizes a number of techniques to control zebra mussel infestation.
Totalflowthroughtheonce-throughmaincondenser coolingwatersystemis1.6milliongallonsperminute.Thesurrounding lakebottomconsistsofmostlysand.Alimestone rip-rapstabilization zonesurrounds theintakecribs,discharge structures andpipelinepathsinfront,oftheplant.Thelimestone andintakecribshaveformedaperfectsubstrate for,zebramusselstoattachandprovideanabundantfoodsourceforlesserandgreaterscaups.Allsevencirculating waterpumpswererunning,whenthefirstscaupswerediscovered intheplant'sscreenhouse forebay.Theplarttwasoperating inthede-icemodeinwhichthecenterintakepipelinewasalignedasadischarge pipeline.
Presently these include the use of intermittent chlorination and targeted molluscicide treatments to the service and circulating water systems.Divers are contracted to physically remove zebra mussels using water blasters and scrapers from areas where chemical treatment was impossible or not effective with water blasters.
Thisalignment necessary forrepairworkscheduled forthecenterintakevalve.
Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 3 Initial Corrective Actions to Deter Scau s On December 6, 1991, approximately 250 scaups were seen diving near the intake cribs.Plant biologists attempted to scare the birds away using a small inflatable boat.The scaups left the immediate area, only to return soon after the boat.had left the water.Blanks were fired from shore in an attempt to frighten the birds away, but the blasts were drowned out due to the distance to the birds, and the sound of the surf.On December 7, 1991, plant biologists attempted to scare the scaups (approximately 250)again, utilizing shotgun blanks, fired from the small inflatable boat located at the intake cribs themselves.
MichaelD.MooreOctober30,1992Page2InitialScauSihtinsOnDecember5,1991,plantpersonnel notedthatovera2to3dayperiod,approximately 90to100deadscaupshadcollected inthescreenhouse trashbasketsafterthescreenwashpumpswererun.Thebirdswerenotmangledordisfigured inanyway.Plantpersonnel investigating theincidentdissected oneofthescaupsinanattempttodetermine thecauseofdeath.Zebramussels(Dreissena proventriculus oftheanimal.Thegizzardwasfoundtocontainanumberofzebramusselshellfragments.
Again, the birds returned after the boat left the water.At the request of Mike Bailey of the MDNR Plainwell Office,.86 scaups that had been collected in the trash baskets were stored in the plant freezers for further study by U.S.Fish and Wildlife biologists.
Deathappearedtohaveoccurredbydrowning.
By December 9, 1991, the number of scaups discovered in the screenhouse trash baskets had reached approximately 280.Plant engineers determined that a circulating water pump could be turned off in an attempt to decrease the water velocity at the intake cribs, without reducing reactor power.It was hoped that this would prevent the scaups from being sucked into the plant forebay.Only ten scaups were found in the plants screenhouse trash baskets during the next four days.This reduced number could have been attributed to the fact that the majority of the scaups had left the immediate area on the 9th.As opposed to over"200 scaups being seen on December 8, only 5-12 scaups were seen the next four days near the intake cribs.Hence, we could not conclude whether operating at a reduced flow using six vs.seven circulating water pumps had made a positive difference.
Itwashypothesized thatthescaupswerefeedingontheabundantzebramussel'population established onthecirculating waterintakecribsandsurrounding riprap.TheMDNRPlainwell Officewasnotifiedbyphoneoftheincident.
Numerous bird scare tactics were employed by plant biologists in accordance with permission given by Mike Bailey of the MDNR.Plant biologists deployed Bird Scare Eyes (balloons painted with predatory eyes and reflective ribbons).The balloons were attached to the buoys marking the intake crib locations.
CookPlantZebraMusselHistorZebramusselswerefirstdetectedattheplantonJuly18,1990intheplantscreenhouse forebay.Initialdensityestimates rangedfrom0.25-0.67 individuals persquaremeterintheplantscreenhouse forebayandintakecribs.Inlatefallof1990,zebramusseldensities hadincreased toapproximately 100individuals persquaremeter.Nomigratory duckswereseenaroundtheareaoftheintakecribsonLakeMichiganorfoundinthescreenhouse trashbasketsin1990.Inthespringof1991,again,nomigratory duckswereseenorfoundintheplant.Duringthesummerof1991,southernLakeMichiganunderwent apopulation explosion ofzebramussel's.
Rafts were also deployed and attached to the buoys to simulate boats.These devices seemed to frighten the scaups from the intake crib area temporarily, but high winds, cold water temperature, and wave action soon ended all attempts to keep any type of floating scare device out at the intakes for any extended period of time.
Thiswasconfirmed bybio-monitoring studiesperformed attheplant.Bythefallof1991,zebramusseldensities attheintakecribshadincreased toapproximately 180,000to200,000persquaremeter.ThePlantutilizesanumberoftechniques tocontrolzebramusselinfestation.
Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 4 Furthermore, the buildup of shore ice made further deployments of these devices too hazardous for work crews.A utility in Wisconsin that had a similar experience cormorants at their surface level intake structures noted that visual tactics are temporary at best.The birds become accustomed to the objects and soon ignored them.On December 13, 1992, the plant went off de-ice mode to further reduce the velocity at the intake crib.Cooling waster was therefore drawn from three pipelines instead of two.-From about December 15, 1991, to the end of February, scaup populations seen rafting near the plant's intake cribs ranged from 1 to over 200.From the 15th of December until January 21, 1992, only two scaups were discovered in the trash baskets and no additional ducks have been collected to date (see Attachments

¹4 and¹5).Zn addition to the scaups, four buffleheads were seen close to shore diving in approximately 10 to 15 feet of water.Plant personnel made daily observations of migratory birds rafting near the.intake crib area, in an attempt to better learn the birds habits to help in mitigating the problem.On January 19, 1992, the plant was returned to the de-ice mode of operation, taking suction from two pipelines and discharging through the center intake.This became necessary to prevent frazzle ice from blocking the intake crib flow pathway.On February 4, 1992 in an attempt to permanently relocate the scaups, a helicopter was chartered to herd the ducks, and force them to another less dangerous feeding ground.Unfortunately, the scaups did not cooperate.

Again,thebirdsreturnedaftertheboatleftthewater.AttherequestofMikeBaileyoftheMDNRPlainwell Office,.86scaupsthathadbeencollected inthetrashbasketswerestoredintheplantfreezersforfurtherstudybyU.S.FishandWildlifebiologists.
One mile north of the plant on Lake Michigan in front of the Grand Mere Lakes, over 100 scaups were seen on several days rafting and diving in a specific area.We assumed that there must be another colony of zebra mussels in this area that the scaups feed on.We attempted to drive the scaups toward this area with the helicopter with little success.The birds appear to fly back and forth between the two area to feed.From February 21, 1992 until March 11, no scaups were seen near the intake crib area.~On March 12, 1992, approximately 30 scaups were seen rafting at the intake cribs.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 5 On April 1, 1992, a plant biologist noted over 500 scaups, mergansers and a few loons rafting in the area near the intake cribs.No scaups had been seen since March 12, and none had been found in the screenhouse trash baskets since January 21.The waterfowl were seen again on April 2, 10 and 13 in approximately the same numbers.The fishing traffic near the intakes became heavy in mid-April, and the scaups were not seen again until October 13, 1992.Plant biologists believe the scaups are feeding on the intake structures themselves, and may in fact swim right into the tunnels in search of zebra mussels.Plant biologists dove on the intake structures in January to ascertain whether the scaups were making any impact on the zebra mussel population, or if any grazing patches could be seen on the actual cribs themselves.
Numerousbirdscaretacticswereemployedbyplantbiologists inaccordance withpermission givenbyMikeBaileyoftheMDNR.Plantbiologists deployedBirdScareEyes(balloons paintedwithpredatory eyesandreflective ribbons).
Unfortunately no definitive conclusions could be made.The autopsy results indicated a high percentage of yearling scaups.They may become disoriented, and simply cannot find their way out against the current.We had hoped by varying the number of operating circulating water pumps and/or the number of pipelines being utilized as suctions, we could determine whether the scaups.were sucked in or whether they would just swim in and could not find their way out.A conclusion could not be reached because the number of birds feeding in the area at the time of the plant modifications was relatively small and had little effect.Future Preventative actions To prevent further losses of migrating waterfowl, the intake structures will be cleaned of zebra mussels prior to the fall migration of 1992.According to U.S.Fish and Wildlife biologists the scaup migration should begin around November.When possible, Cook Nuclear Plant will continue to configure the plant's circulating water system in a manner to minimize flow at the intake structures during periods of duck migration.
Theballoonswereattachedtothebuoysmarkingtheintakecriblocations.
Divers will clean the structure as late in the season as possible (weather permitting), to remove all settled zebra mussels including the 1992 newly settled Dreissena post veligers.We believe by removing the food source near the area where the ducks may become disoriented or swim to close to the plant suctions, the ducks will not become entrapped in the tunnels.The birds will still be able to feed on the mussels on the surrounding half-mile of rip-rap that is covered with zebra mussels, but they will be away from the danger Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 6 associated with the intake cribs.Buoys with predator owls have also been.deployed.

The Plant has also purchased numerous aviary scare devices to be used if the need arises to frighten the birds away from the intake cribs.These include a multi-detonation LP gas cannon;a 6mm hand held launcher with screaming sirens, bird bangers;shot-tells (bird scaring blanks for shotguns);

predator-eye balloons;and a AVA-2 Scare Alarm.To employ many of these devices, good lake conditions are required to work out near the intake cribs.When the wave heights exceed two feet, or when shore ice is formed, the conditions become too hazardous to perform work.However, the use of scare devices may not become necessary because of the removal of the food source (zebra mussels)from the intake cribs.In summary, we are confident that the measures being taken to remove zebra mussels from the intake structures will greatly minimize any future duck losses.We will continue to monitor the populations rafting at our intakes.Sincerely, A.A.Blind Plant Manager/js c: M.Bailey, MDNR'lainwell Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 7 bc: E.E.Fitzpatrick J.E.Rutkowski K.R.Baker L.S.Gibson J.T.Wojcik D.M.Fitzgerald J.P.Carlson D.L.Baker A.J.Ahern A.E.Gaulke l~~~>e~~

Me do not believe that this modification will result in a new, different, or increased discharge of pollutants for reasons discussed below.Specifically, the Cook plantis Fire protection System is being modified as a xeeult of the infestation of Preissena polymorpha (Zebra mussel)in Lake Michigan.The system which nov dravs supply water fx om Lake Michigan, will ba modif ied to use chlorinatod T.aka Township drinking water as the water source.Electrical pumps will serve as the pximaxy means for maintainin adocpxate pressure in the fire protection headexs.Diesel backup pumps vill be installed to ensure adequate system pressure in the.event of loss of electrical power ox extremely high water demand.Mhen each diesel pump operates, a design flow of appxoximately 60.gallons per minute of the discharge water is pumped to cool the engine block via a heat exchanger.(Bee Attachment g1.)This cooling water will be discharged to the plant stormvater system and reach Lake Michigan via Stormwatlr Outfall 002S The current cook plant Fire protection system configuration is similax in that the initial response pumps aro electrically dx'ivan, and the diesel driven pumps essentially serve aa backups.To date tha diesel pumps have never been used to fight a fire at Cock P'ant.The pumps are infrequently used to maintain water pressure due to system pressure loss, Should this trend continue, the new diesel pumps will be operated for testing purposes only.Tests are run monthly fox approximately 30 minutes per pump.Once evexy 18 months tha pumps are run simultaneously for approximately 15-20 minutes, also fax testing purposes.Assuming.this schedule, approximately 45,600 gallons per year would he discharged to Lake Michigan.Monthly discharges would be approximately 3,600 gallons.MAR 1'93 15:38 6164656161 PRGE.882 Prod Morley, District Suyezvisor January, 14, 1992 Page 2 41 Due to the relatively small amount of water being dischar9'ed/

Indiana Michigan Power Company Cook Nuclear Plant 1992 Zebra Mussel and Asiatic Clam Monitoring and Control Report March 18, 1993 INTRODUCTION The large densities of zebra mussels (180,000-200,000 per square meter)reported in 1991 actually decreased in 1992 (67,000 per square meter)due to the increase in the average size of the mussels and the formation of clumps on untreated intake structures and components within the circulating water intake forebay areas.A cool summer season in 1992 may have led to a smaller recuitment of zebra mussels in lower Lake Michigan as compared to the 1991 spawning season.(Schloesser

&Nichols, East Lansing, MI zebra mussel conference Jan.11-12, 1993)A report on the bio-monitoring studies by LMS"and data collected by ERM are attached.Of particular note is the revelation that intermittent chlorination of the service water systems at 1.5-2.0 ppm for one, 155-minute period each 24 hours was ineffective in controlling zebra mussel infestation in low or no flow areas.Intermittent chlorination of the circulating water system at 0.2 ppm for one, 155-minute period each 24 hours was also ineffective in controlling zebra mussel infestation in low or no flow areas.ERADICATION AND CONTROL MEASURES The 1992 control strategy consisted of the use of a proprietary molluscicide (Clam-trol), intermittent chlorination of the service and circulating water systems, and mechanical cleaning.MECHANICAL CLEANING Both Unit 1 and Unit 2 underwent refueling outages during the year.This allowed the mechanical cleaning of zebra mussels by divers in the circulating water intake forebay.Hydrolasers and dredge pumps were used.to remove 1-2" of zebra mussel growth from the walls and components within the intake forebay.The circulating water intake cribs were also cleaned of zebra mussels.As a result of targeted molluscicide treatments to the north and center intake pipelines, and a large scale treatment to the.intake forebay in 1992, the plant experienced a large influx of dead mussels from these sources when the units were brought up in power in the fall.Over 1,100 cubic yards of zebra mussels were removed from the Cook Nuclear Plant circulating water intake forebays as a result of.mechanical cleaning during outages and in the aftermath of molluscicide treatments.

Zebra mussel sloughage from the South intake tunnel, which was not treated with molluscicide in 1992, is still occuring.The mussels from this source are being removed from the circulating water by the traveling screens.CLAM-TROL TREATMENT RESULTSClam-trol (Betz Industrial, Inc.)treatments involving discharges to the surface waters were performed in four phases in 1992 and discussed below.The fire protection system was flushed with Clam-trol involving a groundwater discharge four times in 1992.Whole effluent toxicity testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with water quality standards for treatments to the north and center intake tunnels, and circulating water system.This testing was conducted as a requirement, of the Michigan DNR Clam-trol authorization letter of April 24, 1992.Phases 1 6 2-Treatments to the North and Center Intake Pipelines Low demand for circulating water as a result of plant outages allowed for the intake pipelines to be removed from service and target treated with Clam-trol.
intermittent chlorination oftheserviceandcirculating watersystems,andmechanical cleaning.
As a result, chemical usage of both the Clam-trol and the bentonite clay detoxicant was greatly reduced with good results.The north intake pipeline was treated at a target feed concentration of 15 ppm for 12 hours on August 12-13, 1992 and the center intake pipeline was treated on September 11-12, 1992.Zebra mussel mortalities were determined to be>954 as determined by diving inspections performed following the treatments.
MECHANICAL CLEANINGBothUnit1andUnit2underwent refueling outagesduringtheyear.Thisallowedthemechanical cleaningofzebramusselsbydiversinthecirculating waterintakeforebay.Hydrolasers anddredgepumpswereused.toremove1-2"ofzebramusselgrowthfromthewallsandcomponents withintheintakeforebay.Thecirculating waterintakecribswerealsocleanedofzebramussels.Asaresultoftargetedmolluscicide treatments tothenorthandcenterintakepipelines, andalargescaletreatment tothe.intakeforebayin1992,theplantexperienced alargeinfluxofdeadmusselsfromthesesourceswhentheunitswerebroughtupinpowerinthefall.Over1,100cubicyardsofzebramusselswereremovedfromtheCookNuclearPlantcirculating waterintakeforebaysasaresultof.mechanical cleaningduringoutagesandintheaftermath ofmolluscicide treatments.
Phase 3-Circulating Rater System Treatment On September 16, 1992, the entire circulating water system was treated for 12 hours using'lam-trol at a target feed rate of 15 ppm.Bentonite clay was injected into the discharge as a detoxicant at a ratio of at least 3:1 clay:Clam-trol before being discharged to Lake Michigan.Zebra mussel mortalities measured by bio-boxes placed throughout the plant ranged from 87-994.Subsequent intake forebay inspections by divers two weeks after the application, indicated a>95%kill with clean walls and forebay components.

CHLORINATION TREATMENT RESULTS In 1992, the essential service water (ESN)and non-essential service water (NESN)systems received daily intermittent sodium hypochlorite treatments of 1.5-2.0 ppm total residual chlorine (TRC)for 155 minutes from May until late November.During the same period, the circulating water system received daily intermittent sodium hypochlorite treatments of 0.2 ppm (TRC).The construction of a permanent sodium hypochlorite feed system under PM-801 was completed before the 1992 treatment program.From heat exchanger, condenser water box, and various piping inspections, it was determined that the intermittent chlorination program was effective in areas of adequate flow.In areas of low or no flow, colonization was detected.Inspections of the circulating water system revealed that the low levels of chlorine at 0.2 ppm (TRC)were effective in slime control, but had little or no effect in controlling zebra mussel colonization in areas of little or no flow.Systems taking suction from the circulating water system which are exposed to this low level of chlorination, including the office building air conditioning, miscellaneous seal 6 cooling, screenwash pumps, lawn sprinkler pump, and chlorine injector water supply pump, were sub'ect to'olonization of zebra mussels.After Clam-trol treatments, mussels residing within these systems would die and cause plugging problems.The 1993 chlorination strategy calls for the service water systems to be treated continuously at 0.5 ppm to ensure colonization does not occur in the ESW and NESN.Filtration, chlorination, chlorine/bromine and multiple Clam-trol treatments, are being studied for systems which take suction from the circulating water system.CONCLUSXON Shock treatments of a proprietary molluscicide to remediate juvenile and adult zebra mussels, in conjunction with the use of sodium hypochlorite to control veliger settlement, has been an effective method in controlling zebra mussels.Mechanical cleaning can be effective in areas where chemical means are impossible or uneconomical.
Alsofallinglaketemperatures mayhaverenderedthetreatment ineffective ifperformed atalaterdate.
Chemical methods for controlling zebra mussels in low or no flow areas of the service water systems can be improved with continuous chlorination.
Zebramusselmortalities werenotassessedfromthesespottreatments.
Switching the fire protection system from raw lake water to municipal drinking water in 1993 will eliminate the threat of zebra mussel infestation in the fire protection system.A bio-monitoring program utilizing side stream and artificial substrate monitors along with diver and heat exchanger inspections will continue to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical and physical control measures.

Noperformance imrovements weredetectedafterthetreatment totheUnit1Eastimproveme Containment SprayHeatExchanger.
~Fire protection water sampling was conducted for the presence of zebra mussel shells during flow tests.~Artificial substrates were deployed in the intake forebay and service water systems to detect settlement of postveliger zebra mussels.Samples were taken every two weeks from July through October and every three weeks in November and December.~Beach inspections were conducted during July, September, and November to detect adult zebra mussel presence and colonization near Cook Nuclear Plant and at the mouth of the St.Joseph River.~To check on suspected infestations, plant personnel collected samples from within the plant at locations and times that were outside the sample design of the program.~Temperature and pH were recorded during each whole-water and artiflcial substrate sampling period.1-2 Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers CHAPTER 2 METHODS 2.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Whole-water sampling of the circulating and service water systems was conducted over a four-week period between 21 July and 14 August 1992.Samples were taken from the intake forebay and ESW and NESW systems.Eight 24-lir samples from each of the three systems were collected and analyzed.Samples were initiated on Monday and Thursday morning and concluded Tuesday and Friday mornings during the four-week period.The whole-water sampling procedure for the circulating water system was modified during the four-week sampling period.Initially, a diaphram pump was used to pump water from the Unit 2 discharge forebay.Because of the high flow rate and pulsing action of this pump, the pump was replaced and the sampling location changed.A JABSCO brand centrifugal'pump rated at 26 gpm was used to pump water from the plant intake forebay.The JABSCO was able to deliver 13 gpm in use.Both the ESW and NESW whole-water samples were taken from the biomonitor discharge hoses.Measured flow was directed into No.20 nets that were suspended in a partially filled 55-gal barrel to minimize organism abrasion.Samples were gently washed from the cod-end into a sample jar and put on ice.For all systems, flow calculations were determined by fllling a bucket and timing the filling with a stop watch.This procedure was performed at the beginning and end of each sampling period.Samples were counted live within 24 hrs of collection.
PireProteection SystemTheplant'sfireprotection systemwasflushedwithatargetfeedof15ppmClam-trol fourtimesduring1992.Nomortality studieswereperformed.
Those not analyzed within 24 hrs were first preserved on ice and then with ethanol.Due to the large sample volumes, all samples were subsampled using calibrated disposable Pasteur pipets.Five, 1-ml aliquots were examined in a Sedgewick-Rafter cell.Counting methodologies followed those recommended by Marsden (1992).Raw counts in the aliquots were multiplied by the concentration value, then divided by the total volume to yield number of veligers per 1000 l.2-1 0 Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers 2.2 FIRE PROTECTION SAMPLING The fire protection systems were sampled by directing the Qrst 3 to 5 min of hydrant flow through a No.35 sieve during flow testing.The contents of the sieves were examined on-site for the presence of shell or shell fragments.
Construction ofdedicated fireprotection watertanksandapumphouse wasbegunin1992underRFC-3065.
No microscopic examination was required for these samples.Although a monthly sampling plan was originally scheduled, plant management prohibited low testing without the introduction of a molluscicide into the system.Mis requirement restricted the frequency of fire protection sampling to those treatment times.23 ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATES i A number of artificial substrates were deployed.To assess the degree of zebra mussel settlement within the circulating water, ESW, and NESW systems, three artificial substrates were placed in the intake forebay upstream of the trash racks and two biomonitors were set in the ESW and NESW systems respectively.
Thefireprotection systemwatersourcewillbeswitchedtomunicipal drinkingwaterin1993,thuseliminating thethreatofzebramusselinfestation.
The forebay samplers consisted of Plexiglass racks (Figure 2-1)designed to hold 40 standard microscope slides that could be removed for analysis.Two slides were placed back to back in each slot, which eliminated the need for scraping, Racks were deployed by ropes to approximately 0.5 m from the bottom, anchored with a cinder block, and oriented such that flow was perpendicular to the vertically placed slides.Deployment of racks followed approved I&M plant equipment installation procedures.
CHLORINATION TREATMENT RESULTSIn1992,theessential servicewater(ESN)andnon-essential servicewater(NESN)systemsreceiveddailyintermittent sodiumhypochlorite treatments of1.5-2.0ppmtotalresidualchlorine(TRC)for155minutesfromMayuntillateNovember.
Artificial substrates placed in the ESW and NESW systems consisted of test tube racks equipped with 12 microscope slides each.Two racks were placed within each biomonitor (Figure 2-2).The slides were examined every two weeks during the months of July, august, September, and October.The set time was extended to three weeks during November and December.Slides removed from the forebay racks and biomonitors were examined using a low-power~~~~~~~~~(10-40x)dissecting microscope.
Duringthesameperiod,thecirculating watersystemreceiveddailyintermittent sodiumhypochlorite treatments of0.2ppm(TRC).Theconstruction ofapermanent sodiumhypochlorite feedsystemunderPM-801wascompleted beforethe1992treatment program.Fromheatexchanger, condenser waterbox,andvariouspipinginspections, itwasdetermined thattheintermittent chlorination programwaseffective inareasofadequateflow.Inareasoflowornoflow,colonization wasdetected.

APPENDIXVANNUALREPORT'ADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM1992
===2.8 NONRADIOLOGICAL===
QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL Nonradiological quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)was an important aspect of the program.QA was incorporated into the program in several areas.LMS personnel assigned to this project were trained on-site in proper collection and handling techniques.
Standard procedures were developed and followed.Laboratory techniques were supervised by Ms.Bardygula-Norm, our in-house expert.Ms.Bardygula-Norm served as the QC inspector throughout the study.Field audits were performed on whole-water sampling, artificial substrate sampling, and one beach walk.Laboratory QC inspections showed an average outgoing quality level (AOQL)of<0.05.-The AOQL is based on quality control statistical probability.
It denotes the number of defective units (errors)that can be expected in the product.In this case, the accuracy of the product is predicted to be greater than 95%based on inspection of samples and the measures taken to correct defects (errors).Lawier, Matusky 8c Skelly Engineers CHAPTER 3 RESULTS 3.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Sampling of planktonic veligers in the circulating, ESW, and NESW systems was initiated on 20 July and completed 14 August.A total of 24 samples were taken in the three different systems.The circulating water system sampler was susceptible to mechanical failure.On two occasions, the pump's thermal protector shut down the unit during the 24-hr sampling period.Causes were actual pump failure and a clogged intake.High plankton densities in forebay on 11 and 14 August caused the net to clog and overflow during the night hours.As a result, samples on these dates represent 8 hrs of sampling.All changes were made after approval by I&M personnel.
In light of these problems, care must be taken when interpretating the circulating water data, as early counts are likely underestimated.
No similar problems were encountered on the ESW and NESW systems because they were equipped with valves capable of adjusting flow rates.The 21 July sample from the NESW system was not taken because no flow was available at the sampling point.This was a result of an outage.The sampling apparatus was moved to a new location in the system for the next sample period, thereby solving the problem.Results of sampling are presented in Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1.ESW results showed one major peak on 11 August, when densities were in excess of 7000/ms.The NESW system exhibited a peak during each sampling date during the 4-11 August period.Densities in the circulating water system did not exceed 2000/ms during the sampling season but did peak on 11 August.3-1 Lawler, Matusky 4 Skelly Engineers TABLE 3-1 WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING VELIGERS/1000 l, TEMPERATURE, AND pH Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant 21 July-14 August 1992 DATE LOCATION VELIGER ABUNDANCE'C pH 21 July 24 July 28 July 30 July 4 August 7 August 11 August 14 August Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW 8 1395 a 7 1693 1049 68 753 1280 b 32 148 546 1925 5350 b 1610 6300 1967'043 5595 1438'291 2373 21.9 28.9 a 15.6 16.2 19.0 18.5 18.7 22.9 185 21.5 25.0 19.8 20.0 21.5 193 19.5 20.4 21.8 22.2 223 18.9 19.3 19.9 8.4 8.3 a 8.1 8.2 8.0 7.9 8.1 7.9 8.2 8.4 8.2 8A 8.5 8.5 8.2 8.2 8.2 8.5 8.7 8.7 8.1 8.1 8.1'No sample due to inadequate Qow.No sample due to pump clogging or failure.'Represents 8 hrs of sampling.

detected in the sheltered central forebay location.Other forebay locations peaked simultaneously but at much lower densities (6000 to 8000 m~).These peaks occurred after the whole-water sampling program had ended;therefore, no inferences can be made.A late peak that occurred on 10 November at the central forebay location was the result of larger juveniles translocating from the Plexiglass frame to the slides.This phenomenon continued until 22 December, suggesting active movement even at low lake temperatures.
No data are presented for the forebay south location for 10 November to 22 December.As.the unit came on line successive circulating pumps were turned on, creating the high water velocities and heavy turbulence.
This turbulence shattered all slides held at this location.3.3.2 Service Water Settling Settling rates for the service water systems are shown in Table 3-2 and F;gure 3-2.An early peak (more than 45,000/m~)
occurred on 25 August in the ESW system, while densities over 5000/m~occurred sporadically from early August to the beginning of December.The NESW system exhibited a much lower peak of approximately 8700/m~on 8 September.

Because of the reduced flow, settling data for NESW and ESW should be considered qualitatively.
Visual inspections showed that live juveniles were regularly present inside the biomonitors prior to the Clam-Trol, CT-1 treatment.
They reappeared in early October to late December.Juveniles of 3 to 5 mm were abundant during the final inspection on 22 December, indicating survival and growth of zebra mussels within low-flow areas of the service water systems.No zebra mussel settling was observed on the heat exchanger in the condenser tubes at these stations.3.3.3 Qualitative Effects of Biocide Treatments Two types of biocides were used to control the zebra mussel within the Cook Nuclear Plant.Chlorine as sodium hydrochlorite, presently permitted under the facility's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit, was injected into all systems throughout the period of this project.Chlorine was injected continuously for 2 hrs during each 24-hr period.Based on the observations,'his was not effective.
Clam-Trol, CT-1, a proprietary molluscicide, was added as a 12-hr treatment on 16 September.
Substrates examined on 22 September indicated>90%mortality.
This effective treatment was, however, short lived;three weeks later, peak settlement occurred in the forebay.~3.4 BEACH WALK SAMPLING Two locations were examined as part of the beach walk sampling effort.The first location was'he beach adjacent to the Cook Nuclear Plant.Because there is minimal hard substrate present on this beach, the examination focused on searching for loose shells.The second 3-3 Lawler, Matushy&Skelly Engineers location was an area of riprap along the south side of the south jetty at the mouth of the St.Joseph River in St.Joseph, Michigan.On 23 July the beach near the plant was examined.Numerous clumped and single dead zebra mussel adults and shell fragments were found along the storm wash line.Examination along the south jetty in St.Joseph also revealed beach-washed dead adults and shells.The walks were repeated on 22 September and 10 November with similar Gndings.3.5 INSPECTION SAMPLE ANALYSES Two inspection samples were collected by plant personnel and shipped to LMS for analysis.Results are shown in Table 3-3.3.6 RANDOM SAMPLE ANALYSES A test was conducted from July 17, 1992 to September 8, 1992 on several coatings that are marketed as antifouling coatings.Metal coupons with various coatings were placed in the intake forebay for the test period, retrieved, and the settlement rate evaluated.
The company is reviewing these data and the results from other research on coatings to determine the usefulness of antifouling coating on intake structures such as trash racks and traveling screen assemblies.
3.7 WATER QUALHT MONITORING Water temperatures and pH were recorded during each whole-water and artiGcial substrate sampling period.Values recorded during the collection of whole-water samples are presented in Table 3-1.Those values recorded during the postveliger settlement collections are shown in Table 34.Lawler, Matushy 8c Skelly Engineers TABLE 3-3 INSPECTION SAMPLE ANALYSES Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant July and September 1992 DATE SITE DESCRIPTION RESULTS 7 July Traveling Screen Bay 1-2 Temp: 18.8'C pH: 8.1 Adults (8+mm)Juveniles (3-8 mm)Shell Fragments 216 Abundant 30 September North Side Center Intake Crib-Lake Bottom Temp: 12.2'C pH: 8.1 Adults (8+mm)Juveniles (3-8 mm)Shell Fragments Small Snails 17 30 TABLE 34 TEMPERATURE AND pH VALUES, POSTVELIGER SEITLEMENT COLLECTIONS Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant July-December 1992 DATE FOREBAY pH'C pH oC NES%pH'C 28 July 11 August 25 August 8 September 22 September 6 October 20 October 0 November December 22 December 8.2 8.5 8.1 7.9 8.1 a a 8.0 8.0 8.0 18.2 21.3 22.0 215 15.0 a a 10.4 7.2 3.7 8.1 8.7 8.2 8.1 8.2 8.1 8.1 8.0 8.1 8.0 18.7 22.2 22.9 22.5 16.7 14.6 12.5 113 8.5 43 7.9 8.7 8.1 8.1 8.2 8.1 8.1 8.0 8.1 8.0 22.9 22.3 22.7 21.9 182 15.1 12.7 115 8.7 5.7'Not available from plant personnel.
CHAPTER 4 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 4.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Veliger abundance data presented in Table 3-1 must be viewed with caution.The many mechanical problems encountered sampling the forebay greatly influenced the results.Even though the data reported for 11 and 14 August represent 8-rather than 24-hr samples, these results, when extrapolated to a 24-hr period, may be the most representative of the concentration of veligers in the forebay during the four-week period.These forebay data may reflect the beginning of the spawning peak that resulted in peak settlement during September throughout the region (reported by numerous investigators during the Third International Zebra Mussel Conference, Toronto, February 1993).Comparison of the extrapolated forebay veliger concentrations to the veliger concentrations reported for the service water systems on 11 and 14 August suggests that forebay and service water concentrations were similar.Based on this comparison, concentrations of veligers in the forebay may have been similar to those reported for the service water systems on the earlier sampling dates.when mechanical problems occurred with forebay sampling.'.2 ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATE SAMPLING 4.2.1 Forebay In the forebay, postveliger settlement was low until September, with the exception of the.central and north locations on 28 July.These higher concentrations most likely reflect a spawning spate that occurred during the flrst half of July, before the whole-water monitoring program was initiated.
The higher concentrations reported for September follow the trend reported by numerous other investigators working in the southern Lake Michigan region (Third International Zebra Mussel Conference).
Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers The highest concentrations recorded at each location in the forebay occurred on 6 October, approximately three weeks after the Clam-Trol treatment.
While reasons for the high settlement are not known at this time, this phenomenon has been observed in previous years.The secondary peak of settlement recorded at the central and north locations on 10 November reflects the translocation of juveniles rather than settling of a new cohort during the sampling period.This translocation continued at reduced rates until the end of the sampling program in December.4.2.2 Service Water Systems Settlement occurred throughout the sampling season on the artificial substrates placed in the NESW and ESW systems.During the period covering the sets made on 28 July through those collected on 8 September, the concentrations in the service water system biomonitors exceeded the concentrations reported in the forebay.At a minimum, this indicates that the chlorine injection that occurred upstream of the biomonitors was ineffective at preventing settling.This is most likely attributable to the 2-hr continuous injection during each 24-hr period rather than intermittent injections throughout each day.A second confounding factor was the low flow, upfiow design of the biomonitors.
This design was amenable to easily clogging and may not have accurately represented the actual flow conditions in the systems at the monitoring locations, i.e.high velocities in service water pipes.Taken together, these two factors contributed to the high concentrations.
4.3 BEACH WALKS Beach walk inspections in the vicinity of the plant and St.Joseph's harbor revealed no indication of live, attached adult zebra mussels in these areas.Observations made near the plant revealed that a lack of suitable substrate was available for zebra mussel attachment.
Numbers of dead or detached shells in the drift line were observed in both locations.
These had washed on shore during storm events.Lawler, Matusky 4 Skelly Engineers 4.4 WATER QUALITY MONITORING Water temperatures in the forebay followed expected seasonal trends.Temperatures recorded at the NESW and ESW stations were slightly higher than those reported for the forebay with NESW temperatures being the highest.Values reported for pH indicate that pH generally ranged between 7.9 and 8.2.Exceptions occurred on 4 and 11 August when recorded pH values were between 8.4 and 8.7.All these values are basic, suggesting that water conditions are conducive to zebra mussel life history success.Actual water concentrations of calcium would be required to verify this condition.

===4.5 RECOMMENDATIONS===
5III.SuIIImary andDiscussion of1992Analytical Results...........
Based on observations made during the course of this program, several recommendations are being presented to eliminate certain problems and to acquire a more complete data base.These include the following:
18A.AirborneParticulates................................
~Plate samplers rather than slide samplers are recommended for the forebay stations.~In-line flowmeters are recommended for all biobox installations.
19AirborneIodine....................................
This will eliminate inaccurate fiows being estimated when clogging or other mechanical problems prematurely end the sampling.~Commercially constructed bioboxes should be used for in-plant service water system sampling.These should be located in areas where pipeline flow is slow enough to permit postveliger settling.~Whole-water sampling should be initiated during the early part of May or when forebay temperatures are 10'C and continue to September.
21EC.DirectRadiation
According to Ellen Marsden (pers.commun.), portions of southern Lake Michigan were reported to have veliger densities of approximately 30,000/m3 by mid-May 1992.This is important to make decisions regarding initiation of preventive control programs.~Postveliger settlement sampling needs to be conducted from mid-May through December at a minimum.'I%is will allow monitoring of settlement times and preventative control success within the service water or other systems.Lawler, Matnsky 4 Skelly Engineers APPENDIX A EXPERIMENTAL COATINGS TEST Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant Forebay 17 July-8 September 1992 NAME JUVENILE INFESTATION POSTVELIGER SETTLEMENT (Norm~)Rhino-textured red Rhino-grey mesh Rhino-grey triangle Porter HKA 800 Sys 2000 Epotech 2000 Dow Envelon Wisconsin C-793 Porter Multi Easy-On Zebra Wax Plastic Bar Grill None Light None None None Heavy Medium Light Light None Light 1,599 1,599 12,799 none 3,733-5,333 34,133 5,866

==SUMMARY==
This report summarizes the collection and analysis of various environmental sample media in 1992 for the Radiological Environmen-tal Monitoring Program for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant.The various analyses of most sample media suggest that there was no discernable impact of the nuclear plant on the environment.
The analysis of air particulate filters, charcoal cartridges, direct radiation by thermoluminescent dosimeters, fish, water, milk and sediments from Lake Michigan, drinking water, and food products, either did not detect any radioactivity or measured only naturally occurring radionuclides at normal background levels.Tritium, measured at low levels in on-site wells, appears to be the only radionuclide attributable to the plant operations.
However, the associated groundwater does not provide a direct dose pathway to man.

removing particles greater than 30 microns in size.After evaporating to a small volume in a beaker, the sample is rinsed into a 2-inch diameter stainless steel planchet which is stamped with a concentric ring pattern to distribute residue evenly.Final evaporation to dryness takes place under heat lamps.Residue mass is determined by weighing the planchet before and after mounting the sample.The planchet is counted for beta activity on an automatic proportional counter.Results are calculated using empirical self-absorption curves which allow for the change in effective counting efficiency caused by the residue mass.74 2.0 ETE N APABILITY Detection capability depends upon the sample volume actually represented on the planchet, the background and the efficiency of the counting instrument, and upon self-absorption of beta particles by the mounted sample.Because the radioactive species are not identified, no decay corrections are made and the reported activity refers to the counting time.The minimum detectable level (MDL)for water samples is nominally 1.6 picocuries per liter for gross beta at the 4.66 sigma level (1.0 pCi/1 at the 2.83 sigma level), assuming that 1.liter of sample is used and that>1 gram of sample residue is mounted on the planchet.These Qgures are based upon a counting time of 50 minutes and upon representative values of counting efficiency and background of 0.2 and 1.2 cpm, respectively.

The MDL becomes significantly lower as the mount weight decreases because of reduced self-absorption.
At a zero mount weight, the 4.66 sigma MDL for gross beta is 0.9 picocuries per liter.These values reflect a beta counting efficiency of 0.38.75 ANALYSIS OF SAMPL FOR TRIT (Gas Counting)Water Approximately 2 ml of water are converted to hydrogen by passing the water, heated to its vapor state, over a granular zinc conversion column heated to 400'.The hydrogen is loaded into a one liter proportional detector and the volume is determined by recording the pressure.The proportional detector is passively shielded by lead and steel and an electronic, anticoincidence system provides additional shielding from cosmic rays.Calculation of the results, the two sigma error and the lower limit detection (LLD)in pCi/1: RESULT 3.234 TN VN(CG-B)/(CN Vs)I TWO SIGMA ERROR=2((CG+B)ht)>/23.234 TN VN/((CN Vs)(CG-B))4.66 (3.234)TN VN(CG)>/2/(ht CN VS)where: TN 3.234 VN Vs CN CG B h,t tritium units of the standard conversion factor changing tritium units to pCi/1 volume of the standard used to calibrate the-efficiency of the detector in psia volume of the sample loaded into the detector in psia the cpm activity of the standard of volume VN the gross activity in cpm of the sample of volume VS and the detector volume the background of the detector in cpm counting time for the sample ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR TRITIUM (Liquid Scintillation)

This material has a high light output, negligible thermaQy induced signal loss (fading), and negligible self dosing.The energy response curve (as well as all other features)satisfies NRC Reg.Guide 4.13.Transit doses are accounted for by use of separate TLDs.FoQowing the field exposure period the TLDs are placed in a Teledyne Isotopes Model 8300.One fourth of the rectangular TLD is heated at a time and the measured light emission (luminescence) is recorded.The TLD is then annealed and exposed to a known Cs-137 dose;each area is then read again.This provides a calibration of each area of each TLD after every Geld use.The transit controls are read in the same manner.R TWO SIGMA ERROR-2((D>D)2+(D2 D)2+(D3-D)2+(D4"D)2)/3)1/2 Calculations of results and the two sigma error in net milliRoentgen (mR): ESULT D=(Dl+D2+D3+D4)/4 WHERE: D1 the net mR of area 1 of the TLD, and similarly for D2, D3, and D4 Dl I1 K/R1-A~\the instrument reading of the field dose in area 1 K RI the known exposure by the Cs-137 source the instrument reading due to the Cs-137 dose on area 1 Q average dose in mR, calculated in similar manner as above, of the transit control TLDs D the average net mR of all 4 areas of the TLD.86 APPENDIX D SUMNARY OF EPA INTERLABORATORY COMPARISONS 87 EPA INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM Teledyne Isotopes participates in the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison Program to the fullest extent possible.That is, we participate in the program for all radioactive isotopes prepared and at the maximum frequency of avaQability.

end of this appendix.Where possible, the causes of the deviations have been corrected to prevent recurrence.
There were five incidents in 1992 involving air samplers.Three of the five incidents involved actual malfunction of air sampling equipment.
This is a marked improvement over 1991 and is weQ below the industry average.The remaining two incidents resulted from a power surge during a thunderstorm which disabled the power supply to the air station.On 1/10/92 a milk sample was not obtained Gom the Wyant Farm.The wholesaler, who collects milk from dairy farmers, changed his route and arrived at the Wyant Farm earlier than usual.The REMP sample collector modified his collection route to prevent recurrence.
The Zelmer Farm notified the D.C.Cook Plant of their intention to go out of the dairy business.The Freehling Farm agreed to participate in the REMP Milk Sampling Program, thus replacing the Zelmer Farm.The Lozmack Farm was discontinued to prevent redundant sampling in the same land sector.During 1992 there were three occurrences involving the change in differential pressure (Delta'P')measured across air sample filter media.Two of these occurrences involved"settling" of the charcoal inside the TEDA charcoal cartridges.
This issue was resolved by utilizing more efficient TEDA cartridges, which are less prone to"settling".
An increase in the Delta'P'as measured at the South Bend air station and was attributed to dust loading.The sampling frequency was increased to semi-weekly for two sample periods which resolved the issue.Each of the air samplers are equipped with a pressure compensated regulator which adjusts the differential pressure when flow is impeded.118 REMP EXCEPTIONS FOR SCHEDULED SAMPLING AND ANAI.YSIS DURING 1992 Station Descri tion Date of Sam lin Reason(s)for Loss/Exce tion A-2 Air Particulate/

==SUMMARY==
OF THE 1992 LAND USE CENSUSThe Land Use Census is performed to ensure that significant changes in the areas in the immediate vicinity of the plant site are identified.
Any identified changes are evaluated to determine whether modifications must be made to the REMP or other related programs.No such changes were identified during the 1992 Land Use Census.The following is a summary of the 1992 results.Milk Farm Surve The milk farm survey is performed to update the list of milk farms located in the plant area, to identify the closest milk farm in each land sector, and to identify the nearest milk animal whose milk is used for human consumption.
The mQk farm survey for the Cook Power Plant was conducted on September 24, 1992.In 1992 there were no additions and five deletions from the list of area milk farms.None of the deleted milk farms were involved in the Cook Plant milk sampling program.The previously identified milk animal continues to be the closest milk animal to the plant.The milk animal is located 2.5 miles from the plant's centerline axis to the closest edge of the animal's pasture.Residential Surv The residential survey is performed to identify the closest residence to the plant in each land sector.The 1992 Annual Residential Land Use Survey was completed on September 28, 1992.This survey was conducted per procedure 12 THP 6010 ENV.059, using an updated list of new residential building permits from Lake Township and previous survey maps.The residence closest to the Plant in each land sector remains unchanged from the previous reporting year.121 Broadleaf Surv In accordance with Technical SpeciQcation (T/S)3.12.2, broadleaf vegetation sampling is performed in lieu of a garden census.Broadleaf sampling is performed to monitor for plant impact on the environment.
The samples are obtained at the site boundary.The broadleaf analytical results for 1992 were less than the Technical SpeciQcation LLDs.122 Figure 8 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY-DONALD C.COOK NUCLF~P Milk and Animal Survey-1992 Sxmrey Sector Year Distance Miles Name Address D G N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 5.1 5.1 10.5 10.5 6.8 6.8 4.1 4.1 7.0 7.0 7.7 7.7 12 12 No milk animals No mQk animals No mQk animals No milk animals No milk animals No mQk animals Gerald Totzke Gerald Totzke Andrews University Andrews University Lee Nelson Lee Nelson G.G.Shuler&Sons G.G.Shuler&Sons George Freehling George Freehling Jerry Warmbein Jerry Warmbeln Kenneth Tappan Kenneth Tappan N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 6744 Totzke Rd., Baroda 6744 Totzke Rd., Baroda Berrien Springs Berrien Springs RFD 1, Box 390A, Snow Rd, Baroda RFD 1, Box 390A, Snow Rd.Baroda RFD 1, Snow Rd., Baroda RFD 1, Snow Rd., Baroda 2221 W.Glendora Rd., Buchanan 2221 W.Glendora Rd., Buchanan 14143 Mll Rd., Three Oaks 14143 Mll Rd., Three Oaks Rt.2, Kruger Rd, Three Oaks Rt.2, Kruger Rd, Three Oaks All other sectors are over water.(a)Reporting Year fb)Year prior to reporting year.123 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY-DONALD C.COOK NUCLEAR PLANT Resident)a)

==SUMMARY==
OF THE PREOPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL, MONITORING PROGRAM I A preoperational radiological environmental monitoring program was performed for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant from August 1971 until the initial criticality of Unit 1 on Januaxy 18, 1975.The analyses of samples collected in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant were performed by Eberline Instrument Corporation.
The summaxy of the preoperational program presented in this appendix is based on the seven semi-annual reports covering the period.The purpose of this suxxxmaxy is to provide a comparison of the radioactivity measured in the environs of the plant during the pre-start up of Unit 1 and the radioactivity measured in 1992.As stated in the report for the period of July 1 to December 31, 1971, the purposes of a preoperational radiological monitoring program include: (a)"To yield average values of radiation levels and concentrations of radioactive material in various media of the environment.(b)To identify sample locations and/or types of samples that deviate from the averages.(c)To document seasonal variations that could be erroneously interpreted when the power station is operating.(d)To indicate the range of values that should be considered"background" for various types of samples.(e)To"proof test" the environmental monitoring equipment and procedures prior to operation of the nuclear power station.(h)To provide baseline information that wiO yield estimates of the dose to man.if any, which will result 5om plant operation." , The discussion that follows is for the various sample media collected and analyzed in both the preoperational period and during 1992.Analyses performed during the preoperational but not required in 1992, are not discussed.
The gross beta activity in air particulate Qlters ranged from 0.01 to 0.17 pCi/m3 from the middle of 1971 to the middle of 1973.In June of 1973 and in June of 1974 the People's Republic of China detonated atmospheric nuclear tests.As a result there were periods during which the gross beta results were elevated to as high as 0.45 pCi/m3 with no statistically significant differences between indicator and background stations.By the end of the preoperational period the values were approximately 0.06 pCi/m3.The gamma ray analyses of composited air particulate fQters showed"trace amounts" of Qssion products, Ce-144, Ru-106, Ru-103, Zr-95, and Nb-95, the results of fallout from previous atmospheric nuclear tests.Cosmogenically produced beryllium-7 was also detected.The direct radiation background as measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD)ranged between 1.0 and 2.0 mRem/week during the three and one-half years period.Milk samples during the preoperational period were analyzed for iodine-131 and by gamma ray spectroscopy (and for strontium-89 and strontium-90).
All samples had naturally occurring potassium-40 with values ranging between 520 and 2310 pCi/liter.
Cesium-137 was measured in many samples after the two atmospheric nuclear tests mentioned above.The cesium-137 activity ranged&om 8 to 33 pCi/liter.
Iodine-131 was measured in four milk samples collected July 9, 1974.The values ranged between 0.2 and 0.9 pCi/liter.
Lake water samples were collected and analyzed for tritium and by gamma ray spectroscopy.
Tritium activities were below 1000 pCi/liter and typically averaged about 400 pCi/liter.
No radionuclides were detected by gamma ray spectroscopy.
129 Gamma ray spectroscopy analyses of lake sediment detected natural abundances of potassium-40, uranium and thorium daughters, and traces of cesium-137 below 0.1 pCi/g which is attributed to fallout.Gamma spectroscopy analyses of fish detected natural abundances of potassium-40 and traces of cesium-137, the latter attributed to fallout.Drinking water analysis was not part of the preoperational program.130 APPENDIX H

OF THE SPIKE AND BLANK SdQMPLE PROGRAM The following tables list the blanks and spiked water samples analyzed during 1992 for the Teledyne Isotopes In-house Quality Assurance Program.Analysis date is analogous to collection date to identify weekly analysis of samples.Three analyses for gross beta activity were reported outside the specified acceptable ranges.No documented corrective action was taken because in accordance with Section 9.1 of our Quality Control Manual (IWL-0032-365), the acceptance criteria for a particular analysis"is within 3 standard deviations of the EPA one sigma.one determination as specified in the Environmental Radioactive Laboratory Studies Program EPA-600/4-81-004, Table 3, Page 8".For gross beta activity below 100 pCi/1 the control level at which corrective action must be taken is 2 15 pCi/1.The quality assurance department operationally investigates gross beta spike results which exceed the one standard deviation, one determination levels (2 5 pCi/1), because of previous experience in reporting results within that level.Control charts for gross alpha and beta spikes did not indicate any bias in results.For the tritium spikes by gas analysis the three standard deviations of the EPA one sigma, one determination would be greater than 1000 pCi/1 for a spike level of 1500 pCi/1.The quality assurance department operationally investigates tritium spike results which exceed k 200 pCi/1.Control charts indicated a low bias in tritium spike results with only five out of thirty-seven measurements outside the 15%operational acceptance criteria.In August 1992 the gas counters were removed from service (not as a consequence of the quality control sample results)and was not returned to service.Samples were counted ori the liquid scintillation counter which exhibited excellent performance without any obvious bias in quality control sample results throughout 1992.

On a quarterly basis the QA manager or a qualiQed designate exposes groups of TLDs to three different doses using a known cesium-137 exposure rate.The performance of the second quarter test in the early part of the third quarter had no impact on TLD results reported throughout the year.Due to an increased workload, the QA manager performed the second quarter exposures on July 14, 1992.Subsequent third and fourth quarter exposures were performed in September and November to ensure four tests would be performed for 1992.Typical exposures are between 20 and 80 mR.The TLDs are readout on each of the three Model 8300 Readers in the environmental TLD laboratory and the calculated results are reported to the QA manager.The QA manager evaluates the results and writes a report discussing the performance of the labs.For 1992 all results were within the requirements of Regulatory Guide 4.13, Section'C.The standard deviations were less than 7.5%and the variations from the known were less than 30%.The accompanying graphs show the normalized deviations of the measured doses to the exposure doses for each of the three readers.

I.INTRODUCTION Technical Specification Section 6.9.1.6 and Appendix B, Part II, Section 5.4.1 require that an annual report be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission which details the results and findings of ongoing environmental radiological and non-radiological surveillance programs.This report serves to fulfill these requirements and represents the Annual Environmental Operating Report for Units 1 and 2 of the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant for the operating period from January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992.During 1992, based on the monthly operating reports for Unit 1 and Unit 2, the annual gross electrical generation, average unit service factors, and capacity factors were: arameter U~nit Unit 2 Gross Electrical Generation (MwH)Unit Service Factor (8)Unit Capacity Factor-MDC*Net (0)5,197,600 64.8 55.7 1,485,880 19.5 14.9*Maximum Dependable Capacity~~II.CHANGES TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNICAL SPEC FICATIONS There were no environmental Technical Specification changes in 1992.III.ON-RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRO ENT L 0 I G EPORT A.l Plant Design and Operation During 1992, no instances of noncompliance with the Environmental Protection Plan occurred, nor were there any changes in station design, operations, tests, or experiments which involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental issue.There were seven environmental evaluations during the reporting period.Copies of these evaluations are located in Appendix II of this report.The evaluations determined that there were no unreviewed environmental questions.

A.2 Non-Routine Reports A summary of the 1992 non-routine events is located in Appendix I of this report.No long-term, adverse environmental effects were noted.

A.3 Environmental Protection Plan There were no instances of Environmental Protection Plan noncompliance in 1992.A.4 Potentially Significant Unreviewed Environmental Issues There were no changes in station design, operations, tests or experiments which involved a potentially significant unreviewed environmental issue.There were seven environmental evaluations during the reporting period.Copies of these evaluations are located in Appendix II of this report.The evaluations determined that there were no unreviewed environmental questions.

B.Environmental Monitoring

-Herbicide Application Technical Specifications Appendix B, Subsection 5,4.1, states that the Annual Environmental Operating Report shall include: summaries and analyses of the results of the environmental protection activities required by Subsection 4.2 of this Environmental Protection Plan for the report period, including a comparison with preoperational studies, operational controls (as appropriate), and previous non-radiological environmental monitoring reports, and an assessment of the observed impacts of the plant operation on the environment.

Herbicide applications are the activities monitored in accordance with Subsection 4.2.There were no preoperational herbicide studies to which comparisons could be made.Herbicide applications are controlled by plant procedure 12THP6020.ENV.104.

A summary of the 1992 herbicide applications is contained in Appendix III of this report.Based on observations, there were no negative impacts or evidence of trends toward irreversible change to the environment as a result of the herbicide applications.

Based on our review of application records and field observations, the applications conformed with EPA and State requirements for the approved use of herbicides.

C.'acrofouler Monitoring and Treatment Macrofouler studies and activities during 1992 are discussed in Appendix IV of this report.IV.SOLID LI UID AND GASEOUS RADIOACTIVE WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS There were no changes in the solid, liquid, or gaseous radioactive waste treatment systems during 1992.V.DIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM REMP The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program annual report is located in Appendix V of this report.The objectives of the operational radiological environmental monitoring program are: 1.Identify and measure radiation and radioactivity in the plant environs for the calculation of potential dose to the population.

2.Verify the effectiveness of in-plant measures used for controlling the release of radioactive material.3.Provide reasonable assurance that the predicted doses, based on radiological effluent data, have not been substantially underestimated and are consistent with applicable standards.

4.Comply with regulatory requirements and Station Technical Specifications and provide records to document compliance.

A.l Changes to the REMP There were no changes to the REMP during 1992.A.2 Radiological Impact of Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant Operations This report summarizes the collection and analysis of various environmental sample media in 1992 for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant.Analyses of sample media suggest that there were no discernable impacts associated with operation of the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant on the environment.

The analyses of air particulate filters, charcoal cartridges, direct radiation by thermoluminescent dosimeters, samples of

~~fi'sh, water, and sediment from Lake Michigan, drinking water, milk, and food products, either did not detect any radioactivity or measured only naturally occurring radionuclides at normal background levels.B.Land Use Census and Well Report The Land Use Census is performed to ensure that significant changes in the immediate vicinity of the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant are identified.

Any identified changes are evaluated to determine whether a modification must be made to the REMP or other related programs.No such changes were identified during the 1992 Land Use Census.A further discussion of the Land Use Census can be found in Appendix V (F)of this report.VI.CONCLUSION Based upon the results of the radiological environmental monitoring program and the radioactive effluent release reports for the 1992 reporting year, it can be concluded that there were no adverse affects to the environment or to the general public due to the operation of the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant.

APPENDIX I NON-ROUTINE REPORTS 1992

1992 Non-Routine Events February, 1992-The NPDES Permit limit of 30 mg/l for the monthly average Total Suspended Solids (TSS)on Outfall OOC (Plant Heating Boiler)was exceeded.The analyses indicated an average value of 41.4 mg/l.First Quarter, 1992-An internal review of our records revealed that the first quarter 1992 samples for Stormwater Outfall 001S had not been collected.

June 6, 1992-During intermittent chlorination of the plant service water systems, our NPDES Permit limit of 0.30 mg/l, for a grab sample of Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)was exceeded.The analysis indicated a TRC concentration of 0.76 mg/l.June 24, 1992-During intermittent chlorination of the plant service water systems, our NPDES Permit limit of 0.30 mg/l, for a grab sample of Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)was exceeded.The analysis indicated a TRC concentration of 0.33 mg/l.June 30,~1992-A minor, inadvertent discharge of the mollusicide Clam-trol CT-1 may have occurred into surface waters.~~~~~~~September 16, 1992-Noticeable turbidity was visualized in Outfalls 001 and 002 during a forebay Clam-trol treatment,.resulting from the initial dosage of bentonite clay which is used as a Clam-trol detoxicant.

Dear Mr.Moore:

Re: Summary of Scaup Events Per your request, the following is a summary of the sequence of events which led to the unfortunate loss of approximately 400 lesser and greater scaups last winter at the Cook Nuclear Plant.The Cook Plant is located in Bridgman, Michigan on the southeastern shores of Lake Michigan.We operate two 1100 megawatt Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactors.Cooling water is supplied via three sixteen foot diameter corrugated steel pipelines located approximately 2250 feet offshore.Three octagonal intake cribs approximately 75 feet in diameter with velocity caps (see Attachments

¹1,¹2, and¹3)take suction in approximately 22 feet of water.Design flow at the bar racks on the structures is one foot per second with all three pipelines in use and all seven circulating water pumps in operation.

Total flow through the once-through main condenser cooling water system is 1.6 million gallons per minute.The surrounding lake bottom consists of mostly sand.A limestone rip-rap stabilization zone surrounds the intake cribs, discharge structures and pipeline paths in front, of the plant.The limestone and intake cribs have formed a perfect substrate for, zebra mussels to attach and provide an abundant food source for lesser and greater scaups.All seven circulating water pumps were running, when the first scaups were discovered in the plant's screenhouse forebay.The plartt was operating in the de-ice mode in which the center intake pipeline was aligned as a discharge pipeline.This alignment necessary for repair work scheduled for the center intake valve.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 2Initial Scau Si htin s On December 5, 1991, plant personnel noted that over a 2 to 3 day period, approximately 90 to 100 dead scaups had collected in the screenhouse trash baskets after the screen wash pumps were run.The birds were not mangled or disfigured in any way.Plant personnel investigating the incident dissected one of the scaups in an attempt to determine the cause of death.Zebra mussels (Dreissena proventriculus of the animal.The gizzard was found to contain a number of zebra mussel shell fragments.

Death appeared to have occurred by drowning.It was hypothesized that the scaups were feeding on the abundant zebra mussel'population established on the circulating water intake cribs and surrounding rip rap.The MDNR Plainwell Office was notified by phone of the incident.Cook Plant Zebra Mussel Histor Zebra mussels were first detected at the plant on July 18, 1990 in the plant screenhouse forebay.Initial density estimates ranged from 0.25-0.67 individuals per square meter in the plant screenhouse forebay and intake cribs.In late fall of 1990, zebra mussel densities had increased to approximately 100 individuals per square meter.No migratory ducks were seen around the area of the intake cribs on Lake Michigan or found in the screenhouse trash baskets in 1990.In the spring of 1991, again, no migratory ducks were seen or found in the plant.During the summer of 1991, southern Lake Michigan underwent a population explosion of zebra mussel's.This was confirmed by bio-monitoring studies performed at the plant.By the fall of 1991, zebra mussel densities at the intake cribs had increased to approximately 180,000 to 200,000 per square meter.The Plant utilizes a number of techniques to control zebra mussel infestation.

Presently these include the use of intermittent chlorination and targeted molluscicide treatments to the service and circulating water systems.Divers are contracted to physically remove zebra mussels using water blasters and scrapers from areas where chemical treatment was impossible or not effective with water blasters.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 3 Initial Corrective Actions to Deter Scau s On December 6, 1991, approximately 250 scaups were seen diving near the intake cribs.Plant biologists attempted to scare the birds away using a small inflatable boat.The scaups left the immediate area, only to return soon after the boat.had left the water.Blanks were fired from shore in an attempt to frighten the birds away, but the blasts were drowned out due to the distance to the birds, and the sound of the surf.On December 7, 1991, plant biologists attempted to scare the scaups (approximately 250)again, utilizing shotgun blanks, fired from the small inflatable boat located at the intake cribs themselves.

Again, the birds returned after the boat left the water.At the request of Mike Bailey of the MDNR Plainwell Office,.86 scaups that had been collected in the trash baskets were stored in the plant freezers for further study by U.S.Fish and Wildlife biologists.

By December 9, 1991, the number of scaups discovered in the screenhouse trash baskets had reached approximately 280.Plant engineers determined that a circulating water pump could be turned off in an attempt to decrease the water velocity at the intake cribs, without reducing reactor power.It was hoped that this would prevent the scaups from being sucked into the plant forebay.Only ten scaups were found in the plants screenhouse trash baskets during the next four days.This reduced number could have been attributed to the fact that the majority of the scaups had left the immediate area on the 9th.As opposed to over"200 scaups being seen on December 8, only 5-12 scaups were seen the next four days near the intake cribs.Hence, we could not conclude whether operating at a reduced flow using six vs.seven circulating water pumps had made a positive difference.

Numerous bird scare tactics were employed by plant biologists in accordance with permission given by Mike Bailey of the MDNR.Plant biologists deployed Bird Scare Eyes (balloons painted with predatory eyes and reflective ribbons).The balloons were attached to the buoys marking the intake crib locations.

Rafts were also deployed and attached to the buoys to simulate boats.These devices seemed to frighten the scaups from the intake crib area temporarily, but high winds, cold water temperature, and wave action soon ended all attempts to keep any type of floating scare device out at the intakes for any extended period of time.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 4 Furthermore, the buildup of shore ice made further deployments of these devices too hazardous for work crews.A utility in Wisconsin that had a similar experience cormorants at their surface level intake structures noted that visual tactics are temporary at best.The birds become accustomed to the objects and soon ignored them.On December 13, 1992, the plant went off de-ice mode to further reduce the velocity at the intake crib.Cooling waster was therefore drawn from three pipelines instead of two.-From about December 15, 1991, to the end of February, scaup populations seen rafting near the plant's intake cribs ranged from 1 to over 200.From the 15th of December until January 21, 1992, only two scaups were discovered in the trash baskets and no additional ducks have been collected to date (see Attachments

¹4 and¹5).Zn addition to the scaups, four buffleheads were seen close to shore diving in approximately 10 to 15 feet of water.Plant personnel made daily observations of migratory birds rafting near the.intake crib area, in an attempt to better learn the birds habits to help in mitigating the problem.On January 19, 1992, the plant was returned to the de-ice mode of operation, taking suction from two pipelines and discharging through the center intake.This became necessary to prevent frazzle ice from blocking the intake crib flow pathway.On February 4, 1992 in an attempt to permanently relocate the scaups, a helicopter was chartered to herd the ducks, and force them to another less dangerous feeding ground.Unfortunately, the scaups did not cooperate.

However, we did discover that the birds found another site where they would congregate.

One mile north of the plant on Lake Michigan in front of the Grand Mere Lakes, over 100 scaups were seen on several days rafting and diving in a specific area.We assumed that there must be another colony of zebra mussels in this area that the scaups feed on.We attempted to drive the scaups toward this area with the helicopter with little success.The birds appear to fly back and forth between the two area to feed.From February 21, 1992 until March 11, no scaups were seen near the intake crib area.~On March 12, 1992, approximately 30 scaups were seen rafting at the intake cribs.

Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 5 On April 1, 1992, a plant biologist noted over 500 scaups, mergansers and a few loons rafting in the area near the intake cribs.No scaups had been seen since March 12, and none had been found in the screenhouse trash baskets since January 21.The waterfowl were seen again on April 2, 10 and 13 in approximately the same numbers.The fishing traffic near the intakes became heavy in mid-April, and the scaups were not seen again until October 13, 1992.Plant biologists believe the scaups are feeding on the intake structures themselves, and may in fact swim right into the tunnels in search of zebra mussels.Plant biologists dove on the intake structures in January to ascertain whether the scaups were making any impact on the zebra mussel population, or if any grazing patches could be seen on the actual cribs themselves.

Unfortunately no definitive conclusions could be made.The autopsy results indicated a high percentage of yearling scaups.They may become disoriented, and simply cannot find their way out against the current.We had hoped by varying the number of operating circulating water pumps and/or the number of pipelines being utilized as suctions, we could determine whether the scaups.were sucked in or whether they would just swim in and could not find their way out.A conclusion could not be reached because the number of birds feeding in the area at the time of the plant modifications was relatively small and had little effect.Future Preventative actions To prevent further losses of migrating waterfowl, the intake structures will be cleaned of zebra mussels prior to the fall migration of 1992.According to U.S.Fish and Wildlife biologists the scaup migration should begin around November.When possible, Cook Nuclear Plant will continue to configure the plant's circulating water system in a manner to minimize flow at the intake structures during periods of duck migration.

Divers will clean the structure as late in the season as possible (weather permitting), to remove all settled zebra mussels including the 1992 newly settled Dreissena post veligers.We believe by removing the food source near the area where the ducks may become disoriented or swim to close to the plant suctions, the ducks will not become entrapped in the tunnels.The birds will still be able to feed on the mussels on the surrounding half-mile of rip-rap that is covered with zebra mussels, but they will be away from the danger Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 6 associated with the intake cribs.Buoys with predator owls have also been.deployed.

The Plant has also purchased numerous aviary scare devices to be used if the need arises to frighten the birds away from the intake cribs.These include a multi-detonation LP gas cannon;a 6mm hand held launcher with screaming sirens, bird bangers;shot-tells (bird scaring blanks for shotguns);

predator-eye balloons;and a AVA-2 Scare Alarm.To employ many of these devices, good lake conditions are required to work out near the intake cribs.When the wave heights exceed two feet, or when shore ice is formed, the conditions become too hazardous to perform work.However, the use of scare devices may not become necessary because of the removal of the food source (zebra mussels)from the intake cribs.In summary, we are confident that the measures being taken to remove zebra mussels from the intake structures will greatly minimize any future duck losses.We will continue to monitor the populations rafting at our intakes.Sincerely, A.A.Blind Plant Manager/js c: M.Bailey, MDNR'lainwell Michael D.Moore October 30, 1992 Page 7 bc: E.E.Fitzpatrick J.E.Rutkowski K.R.Baker L.S.Gibson J.T.Wojcik D.M.Fitzgerald J.P.Carlson D.L.Baker A.J.Ahern A.E.Gaulke l~~~>e~~

There were seven environmental evaluations during the reporting period.The following documents are copies of these evaluations.

These environmental evaluations determined that there were no unreviewed environmental questions.

This modification will install a permanent liquid sodium hypochlorite injection system to replace the.existing gaseous chlorination system.The system shall be used to control microbiological growth and macrofouling infestation in the Circulating Water, ESW, NESW, and Make-up Water systems.Environmental concerns.inherent in this modification have been satisfactorily addressed.

The Material Safety Data Sheet for the use of sodium hypochlorite on site is approved and on file.Station personnel cognizant of this system and its function are experien'ced in the precautions and handling of this chemical solution.Mitigation of significant environmental impact by the installation of this system has been satisfied by the construction of a concrete containment structure surrounding an installed sodium hypochlorite storage tank.The containment.structure will retain approximately 100%of the contents of the tank in the event of a breech of integrity.

Drainage of the containment structure will be to the Turbine Room Sump preventing a direct release pathway to Lake Michigan.In addition, this modification includes construction of a practical bulk chemical unloading area.This area will be constructed of a poly liner under asphalt with a valved drain.It is graded and curbed to contain approximately 150%of a standard delivered volume~In accordance with Technical Specification, environmental concerns i'dentified in the Final Environmental Statement which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way of the licensee's NPDES permit.The current NPDES revision recognizes the use of and has established effluent concentration limits for sodium hypochlorite in this application.

Dear Mr.Morloy,

Re: NPDES Permit No.HI0005827 Cook Plant, Bx'idgman, Michigan As required by part XX.A.2 of the Cook plant National pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NpDRs)permit Ho.Ml0005827, we..axe providing notification of a facility modification which wil3...result in a.change of.conditions.

Me do not believe that this modification will result in a new, different, or increased discharge of pollutants for reasons discussed below.Specifically, the Cook plantis Fire protection System is being modified as a xeeult of the infestation of Preissena polymorpha (Zebra mussel)in Lake Michigan.The system which nov dravs supply water fx om Lake Michigan, will ba modif ied to use chlorinatod T.aka Township drinking water as the water source.Electrical pumps will serve as the pximaxy means for maintainin adocpxate pressure in the fire protection headexs.Diesel backup pumps vill be installed to ensure adequate system pressure in the.event of loss of electrical power ox extremely high water demand.Mhen each diesel pump operates, a design flow of appxoximately 60.gallons per minute of the discharge water is pumped to cool the engine block via a heat exchanger.(Bee Attachment g1.)This cooling water will be discharged to the plant stormvater system and reach Lake Michigan via Stormwatlr Outfall 002S The current cook plant Fire protection system configuration is similax in that the initial response pumps aro electrically dx'ivan, and the diesel driven pumps essentially serve aa backups.To date tha diesel pumps have never been used to fight a fire at Cock P'ant.The pumps are infrequently used to maintain water pressure due to system pressure loss, Should this trend continue, the new diesel pumps will be operated for testing purposes only.Tests are run monthly fox approximately 30 minutes per pump.Once evexy 18 months tha pumps are run simultaneously for approximately 15-20 minutes, also fax testing purposes.Assuming.this schedule, approximately 45,600 gallons per year would he discharged to Lake Michigan.Monthly discharges would be approximately 3,600 gallons.MAR 1'93 15:38 6164656161 PRGE.882 Prod Morley, District Suyezvisor January, 14, 1992 Page 2 41 Due to the relatively small amount of water being dischar9'ed/

APPENDIX IV MACROFOULER MONITORING PROGRAM 1992

Indiana Michigan Power Company Cook Nuclear Plant 1992 Zebra Mussel and Asiatic Clam Monitoring and Control Report March 18, 1993 INTRODUCTION The large densities of zebra mussels (180,000-200,000 per square meter)reported in 1991 actually decreased in 1992 (67,000 per square meter)due to the increase in the average size of the mussels and the formation of clumps on untreated intake structures and components within the circulating water intake forebay areas.A cool summer season in 1992 may have led to a smaller recuitment of zebra mussels in lower Lake Michigan as compared to the 1991 spawning season.(Schloesser

&Nichols, East Lansing, MI zebra mussel conference Jan.11-12, 1993)A report on the bio-monitoring studies by LMS"and data collected by ERM are attached.Of particular note is the revelation that intermittent chlorination of the service water systems at 1.5-2.0 ppm for one, 155-minute period each 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> was ineffective in controlling zebra mussel infestation in low or no flow areas.Intermittent chlorination of the circulating water system at 0.2 ppm for one, 155-minute period each 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> was also ineffective in controlling zebra mussel infestation in low or no flow areas.ERADICATION AND CONTROL MEASURES The 1992 control strategy consisted of the use of a proprietary molluscicide (Clam-trol), intermittent chlorination of the service and circulating water systems, and mechanical cleaning.MECHANICAL CLEANING Both Unit 1 and Unit 2 underwent refueling outages during the year.This allowed the mechanical cleaning of zebra mussels by divers in the circulating water intake forebay.Hydrolasers and dredge pumps were used.to remove 1-2" of zebra mussel growth from the walls and components within the intake forebay.The circulating water intake cribs were also cleaned of zebra mussels.As a result of targeted molluscicide treatments to the north and center intake pipelines, and a large scale treatment to the.intake forebay in 1992, the plant experienced a large influx of dead mussels from these sources when the units were brought up in power in the fall.Over 1,100 cubic yards of zebra mussels were removed from the Cook Nuclear Plant circulating water intake forebays as a result of.mechanical cleaning during outages and in the aftermath of molluscicide treatments.

Zebra mussel sloughage from the South intake tunnel, which was not treated with molluscicide in 1992, is still occuring.The mussels from this source are being removed from the circulating water by the traveling screens.CLAM-TROL TREATMENT RESULTSClam-trol (Betz Industrial, Inc.)treatments involving discharges to the surface waters were performed in four phases in 1992 and discussed below.The fire protection system was flushed with Clam-trol involving a groundwater discharge four times in 1992.Whole effluent toxicity testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with water quality standards for treatments to the north and center intake tunnels, and circulating water system.This testing was conducted as a requirement, of the Michigan DNR Clam-trol authorization letter of April 24, 1992.Phases 1 6 2-Treatments to the North and Center Intake Pipelines Low demand for circulating water as a result of plant outages allowed for the intake pipelines to be removed from service and target treated with Clam-trol.

As a result, chemical usage of both the Clam-trol and the bentonite clay detoxicant was greatly reduced with good results.The north intake pipeline was treated at a target feed concentration of 15 ppm for 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> on August 12-13, 1992 and the center intake pipeline was treated on September 11-12, 1992.Zebra mussel mortalities were determined to be>954 as determined by diving inspections performed following the treatments.

Phase 3-Circulating Rater System Treatment On September 16, 1992, the entire circulating water system was treated for 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> using'lam-trol at a target feed rate of 15 ppm.Bentonite clay was injected into the discharge as a detoxicant at a ratio of at least 3:1 clay:Clam-trol before being discharged to Lake Michigan.Zebra mussel mortalities measured by bio-boxes placed throughout the plant ranged from 87-994.Subsequent intake forebay inspections by divers two weeks after the application, indicated a>95%kill with clean walls and forebay components.

Phase 4-Spot,.Treatment of the Containment Spray Heat Exchangers Routine inspections of the Containment Spray Heat Exchangers during plant outages revealed light colonization of zebra mussels.Three of the four Containment Spray Heat Exchangers were treated for 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> each at 50 ppm Clam-trol.

Circulating water dilution flows were adequate to ensure that discharge concentrations of active Clam-trol were below the 0.05 ppm at plant outfalls 001 and 002.The Unit 1 and 2 West Containment Spray Heat Exchangers were treated from 11/23/92 to 11/25/92.The Unit 1 East Containment Spray Heat Exhanger was treated from 12/9/92 to 12/11/92.The Unit 2 East Containment Spray Heat Exchanger was not treated due to the need for availability of the heat exchanger during unit start-up.Also falling lake temperatures may have rendered the treatment ineffective if performed at a later date.

Zebra mussel mortalities were not assessed from these spot treatments.

Instead, pressure gauges were installed at the inlet and outlet piping to measure the pressure drop across each heat exchanger.

A flow improvement of 100 gpm with a corresponding increase in delta P was measured after the treatments to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Nest Containment Spray Heat Exchangers.

This data showed a slight improvement in heat exchanger performance when hydraulic flow resistance was analyzed.No performance im rovements were detected after the treatment to the Unit 1 East improveme Containment Spray Heat Exchanger.

Pire Proteection System The plant's fire protection system was flushed with a target feed of 15 ppm Clam-trol four times during 1992.No mortality studies were performed.

Construction of dedicated fire protection water tanks and a pumphouse was begun in 1992 under RFC-3065.The fire protection system water source will be switched to municipal drinking water in 1993, thus eliminating the threat of zebra mussel infestation.

CHLORINATION TREATMENT RESULTS In 1992, the essential service water (ESN)and non-essential service water (NESN)systems received daily intermittent sodium hypochlorite treatments of 1.5-2.0 ppm total residual chlorine (TRC)for 155 minutes from May until late November.During the same period, the circulating water system received daily intermittent sodium hypochlorite treatments of 0.2 ppm (TRC).The construction of a permanent sodium hypochlorite feed system under PM-801 was completed before the 1992 treatment program.From heat exchanger, condenser water box, and various piping inspections, it was determined that the intermittent chlorination program was effective in areas of adequate flow.In areas of low or no flow, colonization was detected.Inspections of the circulating water system revealed that the low levels of chlorine at 0.2 ppm (TRC)were effective in slime control, but had little or no effect in controlling zebra mussel colonization in areas of little or no flow.Systems taking suction from the circulating water system which are exposed to this low level of chlorination, including the office building air conditioning, miscellaneous seal 6 cooling, screenwash pumps, lawn sprinkler pump, and chlorine injector water supply pump, were sub'ect to'olonization of zebra mussels.After Clam-trol treatments, mussels residing within these systems would die and cause plugging problems.The 1993 chlorination strategy calls for the service water systems to be treated continuously at 0.5 ppm to ensure colonization does not occur in the ESW and NESN.Filtration, chlorination, chlorine/bromine and multiple Clam-trol treatments, are being studied for systems which take suction from the circulating water system.CONCLUSXON Shock treatments of a proprietary molluscicide to remediate juvenile and adult zebra mussels, in conjunction with the use of sodium hypochlorite to control veliger settlement, has been an effective method in controlling zebra mussels.Mechanical cleaning can be effective in areas where chemical means are impossible or uneconomical.

Chemical methods for controlling zebra mussels in low or no flow areas of the service water systems can be improved with continuous chlorination.

Switching the fire protection system from raw lake water to municipal drinking water in 1993 will eliminate the threat of zebra mussel infestation in the fire protection system.A bio-monitoring program utilizing side stream and artificial substrate monitors along with diver and heat exchanger inspections will continue to be used to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical and physical control measures.

DONALD C.COOK NUCLEAR PLANT MOLLUSC BIOFOULING MONITORING DURING 1992 Prepared For.AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER SERVICE CORPORATION One Riverside Plaza Columbus, Ohio April 1993 Prepared By: LMSE-93/0201&652/001 LAWLER, MATUSKY Sc SKELLY ENGINEERS Environmental Science&Engineering Con ultants One Blue Hill Plaza Pearl River, New York 10965 CHAPTER 1INTRODUCHON 1.1 PAST HISTORY Indiana and Michigan Power Company (I&M), a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), has been conducting bio-fouling studies at the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant (Cook Nuclear Plant)since 1983.Initially, the studies were directed toward Asiatic clams.However, with the recent appearance of zebra mussels in Lake Michigan, the studies were expanded in 1990 to include zebra mussels.The purpose of the studies was to detect the presence of bio-fouling mollusks in the circulating water, essential service water (ESW), nonessential service water (NESW), fire protection system, and proximal Lake Michigan.The purpose of the 1992 monitoring program conducted by Lawler, Matusky&Skeiiy Engineers (LMS)was to determine when spawning and settling of zebra mussels occur at the Cook Nuclear Plant and nearby Lake Michigan.'Ihe monitoring program was designed to collect and analyze whole-water samples for~planktonic veligers, and artificial substrates set within the circulating water, ESW, and NESW systems for juveniles.

In addition, samples were collected from the Gre protection system and other randomly selected locations.

Beach surveys were conducted along the shoreline of Lake Michigan near the'ook Nuclear Plant and near the conQuence of the St.Joseph River and Lake Michigan.1.2 OBJECTIVES Specific objectives for the 1992 bio-fouling monitoring program were as follows:~Whole-water sampling of the circulating and service water systems was conducted on a semi-weekly basis during a four-week period (mid-July to mid-August).The sampling was conducted to determine the presence and concentration of planktonic zebra mussel veligem.Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers

~Fire protection water sampling was conducted for the presence of zebra mussel shells during flow tests.~Artificial substrates were deployed in the intake forebay and service water systems to detect settlement of postveliger zebra mussels.Samples were taken every two weeks from July through October and every three weeks in November and December.~Beach inspections were conducted during July, September, and November to detect adult zebra mussel presence and colonization near Cook Nuclear Plant and at the mouth of the St.Joseph River.~To check on suspected infestations, plant personnel collected samples from within the plant at locations and times that were outside the sample design of the program.~Temperature and pH were recorded during each whole-water and artiflcial substrate sampling period.1-2 Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers CHAPTER 2 METHODS 2.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Whole-water sampling of the circulating and service water systems was conducted over a four-week period between 21 July and 14 August 1992.Samples were taken from the intake forebay and ESW and NESW systems.Eight 24-lir samples from each of the three systems were collected and analyzed.Samples were initiated on Monday and Thursday morning and concluded Tuesday and Friday mornings during the four-week period.The whole-water sampling procedure for the circulating water system was modified during the four-week sampling period.Initially, a diaphram pump was used to pump water from the Unit 2 discharge forebay.Because of the high flow rate and pulsing action of this pump, the pump was replaced and the sampling location changed.A JABSCO brand centrifugal'pump rated at 26 gpm was used to pump water from the plant intake forebay.The JABSCO was able to deliver 13 gpm in use.Both the ESW and NESW whole-water samples were taken from the biomonitor discharge hoses.Measured flow was directed into No.20 nets that were suspended in a partially filled 55-gal barrel to minimize organism abrasion.Samples were gently washed from the cod-end into a sample jar and put on ice.For all systems, flow calculations were determined by fllling a bucket and timing the filling with a stop watch.This procedure was performed at the beginning and end of each sampling period.Samples were counted live within 24 hrs of collection.

Those not analyzed within 24 hrs were first preserved on ice and then with ethanol.Due to the large sample volumes, all samples were subsampled using calibrated disposable Pasteur pipets.Five, 1-ml aliquots were examined in a Sedgewick-Rafter cell.Counting methodologies followed those recommended by Marsden (1992).Raw counts in the aliquots were multiplied by the concentration value, then divided by the total volume to yield number of veligers per 1000 l.2-1 0 Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers 2.2 FIRE PROTECTION SAMPLING The fire protection systems were sampled by directing the Qrst 3 to 5 min of hydrant flow through a No.35 sieve during flow testing.The contents of the sieves were examined on-site for the presence of shell or shell fragments.

No microscopic examination was required for these samples.Although a monthly sampling plan was originally scheduled, plant management prohibited low testing without the introduction of a molluscicide into the system.Mis requirement restricted the frequency of fire protection sampling to those treatment times.23 ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATES i A number of artificial substrates were deployed.To assess the degree of zebra mussel settlement within the circulating water, ESW, and NESW systems, three artificial substrates were placed in the intake forebay upstream of the trash racks and two biomonitors were set in the ESW and NESW systems respectively.

The forebay samplers consisted of Plexiglass racks (Figure 2-1)designed to hold 40 standard microscope slides that could be removed for analysis.Two slides were placed back to back in each slot, which eliminated the need for scraping, Racks were deployed by ropes to approximately 0.5 m from the bottom, anchored with a cinder block, and oriented such that flow was perpendicular to the vertically placed slides.Deployment of racks followed approved I&M plant equipment installation procedures.

Artificial substrates placed in the ESW and NESW systems consisted of test tube racks equipped with 12 microscope slides each.Two racks were placed within each biomonitor (Figure 2-2).The slides were examined every two weeks during the months of July, august, September, and October.The set time was extended to three weeks during November and December.Slides removed from the forebay racks and biomonitors were examined using a low-power~~~~~~~~~(10-40x)dissecting microscope.

2.6 RANDOM SAMPLING ANALYSES Plant personnel deployed substrates treated with experimental protective coatings for a six-week study period (mid-July to early September), Substrates were examined for visible settled juveniles, with the degree of infestation being noted as heavy, medium, light, or none.Those with light or no juvenile settlement were further analyzed under magnification to determine quantitative postveliger settlement densities, if necessary.

2.7 WATER QUALITY MONITORING During each sampling event (whole water and artificial substrate), water temperatures and pH measurements were taken with calibrated certiGed ASTM thermometers and pH pens, giving the precision level of+0.1'C and+0.1 pH units, respectively.

2.8 NONRADIOLOGICAL

QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL Nonradiological quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC)was an important aspect of the program.QA was incorporated into the program in several areas.LMS personnel assigned to this project were trained on-site in proper collection and handling techniques.

Standard procedures were developed and followed.Laboratory techniques were supervised by Ms.Bardygula-Norm, our in-house expert.Ms.Bardygula-Norm served as the QC inspector throughout the study.Field audits were performed on whole-water sampling, artificial substrate sampling, and one beach walk.Laboratory QC inspections showed an average outgoing quality level (AOQL)of<0.05.-The AOQL is based on quality control statistical probability.

It denotes the number of defective units (errors)that can be expected in the product.In this case, the accuracy of the product is predicted to be greater than 95%based on inspection of samples and the measures taken to correct defects (errors).Lawier, Matusky 8c Skelly Engineers CHAPTER 3 RESULTS 3.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Sampling of planktonic veligers in the circulating, ESW, and NESW systems was initiated on 20 July and completed 14 August.A total of 24 samples were taken in the three different systems.The circulating water system sampler was susceptible to mechanical failure.On two occasions, the pump's thermal protector shut down the unit during the 24-hr sampling period.Causes were actual pump failure and a clogged intake.High plankton densities in forebay on 11 and 14 August caused the net to clog and overflow during the night hours.As a result, samples on these dates represent 8 hrs of sampling.All changes were made after approval by I&M personnel.

In light of these problems, care must be taken when interpretating the circulating water data, as early counts are likely underestimated.

No similar problems were encountered on the ESW and NESW systems because they were equipped with valves capable of adjusting flow rates.The 21 July sample from the NESW system was not taken because no flow was available at the sampling point.This was a result of an outage.The sampling apparatus was moved to a new location in the system for the next sample period, thereby solving the problem.Results of sampling are presented in Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1.ESW results showed one major peak on 11 August, when densities were in excess of 7000/ms.The NESW system exhibited a peak during each sampling date during the 4-11 August period.Densities in the circulating water system did not exceed 2000/ms during the sampling season but did peak on 11 August.3-1 Lawler, Matusky 4 Skelly Engineers TABLE 3-1 WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING VELIGERS/1000 l, TEMPERATURE, AND pH Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant 21 July-14 August 1992 DATE LOCATION VELIGER ABUNDANCE'C pH 21 July 24 July 28 July 30 July 4 August 7 August 11 August 14 August Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW Forebay ESW NESW 8 1395 a 7 1693 1049 68 753 1280 b 32 148 546 1925 5350 b 1610 6300 1967'043 5595 1438'291 2373 21.9 28.9 a 15.6 16.2 19.0 18.5 18.7 22.9 185 21.5 25.0 19.8 20.0 21.5 193 19.5 20.4 21.8 22.2 223 18.9 19.3 19.9 8.4 8.3 a 8.1 8.2 8.0 7.9 8.1 7.9 8.2 8.4 8.2 8A 8.5 8.5 8.2 8.2 8.2 8.5 8.7 8.7 8.1 8.1 8.1'No sample due to inadequate Qow.No sample due to pump clogging or failure.'Represents 8 hrs of sampling.

detected in the sheltered central forebay location.Other forebay locations peaked simultaneously but at much lower densities (6000 to 8000 m~).These peaks occurred after the whole-water sampling program had ended;therefore, no inferences can be made.A late peak that occurred on 10 November at the central forebay location was the result of larger juveniles translocating from the Plexiglass frame to the slides.This phenomenon continued until 22 December, suggesting active movement even at low lake temperatures.

No data are presented for the forebay south location for 10 November to 22 December.As.the unit came on line successive circulating pumps were turned on, creating the high water velocities and heavy turbulence.

This turbulence shattered all slides held at this location.3.3.2 Service Water Settling Settling rates for the service water systems are shown in Table 3-2 and F;gure 3-2.An early peak (more than 45,000/m~)

occurred on 25 August in the ESW system, while densities over 5000/m~occurred sporadically from early August to the beginning of December.The NESW system exhibited a much lower peak of approximately 8700/m~on 8 September.

Because of the reduced flow, settling data for NESW and ESW should be considered qualitatively.

Visual inspections showed that live juveniles were regularly present inside the biomonitors prior to the Clam-Trol, CT-1 treatment.

They reappeared in early October to late December.Juveniles of 3 to 5 mm were abundant during the final inspection on 22 December, indicating survival and growth of zebra mussels within low-flow areas of the service water systems.No zebra mussel settling was observed on the heat exchanger in the condenser tubes at these stations.3.3.3 Qualitative Effects of Biocide Treatments Two types of biocides were used to control the zebra mussel within the Cook Nuclear Plant.Chlorine as sodium hydrochlorite, presently permitted under the facility's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit, was injected into all systems throughout the period of this project.Chlorine was injected continuously for 2 hrs during each 24-hr period.Based on the observations,'his was not effective.

Clam-Trol, CT-1, a proprietary molluscicide, was added as a 12-hr treatment on 16 September.

Substrates examined on 22 September indicated>90%mortality.

This effective treatment was, however, short lived;three weeks later, peak settlement occurred in the forebay.~3.4 BEACH WALK SAMPLING Two locations were examined as part of the beach walk sampling effort.The first location was'he beach adjacent to the Cook Nuclear Plant.Because there is minimal hard substrate present on this beach, the examination focused on searching for loose shells.The second 3-3 Lawler, Matushy&Skelly Engineers location was an area of riprap along the south side of the south jetty at the mouth of the St.Joseph River in St.Joseph, Michigan.On 23 July the beach near the plant was examined.Numerous clumped and single dead zebra mussel adults and shell fragments were found along the storm wash line.Examination along the south jetty in St.Joseph also revealed beach-washed dead adults and shells.The walks were repeated on 22 September and 10 November with similar Gndings.3.5 INSPECTION SAMPLE ANALYSES Two inspection samples were collected by plant personnel and shipped to LMS for analysis.Results are shown in Table 3-3.3.6 RANDOM SAMPLE ANALYSES A test was conducted from July 17, 1992 to September 8, 1992 on several coatings that are marketed as antifouling coatings.Metal coupons with various coatings were placed in the intake forebay for the test period, retrieved, and the settlement rate evaluated.

The company is reviewing these data and the results from other research on coatings to determine the usefulness of antifouling coating on intake structures such as trash racks and traveling screen assemblies.

3.7 WATER QUALHT MONITORING Water temperatures and pH were recorded during each whole-water and artiGcial substrate sampling period.Values recorded during the collection of whole-water samples are presented in Table 3-1.Those values recorded during the postveliger settlement collections are shown in Table 34.Lawler, Matushy 8c Skelly Engineers TABLE 3-3 INSPECTION SAMPLE ANALYSES Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant July and September 1992 DATE SITE DESCRIPTION RESULTS 7 July Traveling Screen Bay 1-2 Temp: 18.8'C pH: 8.1 Adults (8+mm)Juveniles (3-8 mm)Shell Fragments 216 Abundant 30 September North Side Center Intake Crib-Lake Bottom Temp: 12.2'C pH: 8.1 Adults (8+mm)Juveniles (3-8 mm)Shell Fragments Small Snails 17 30 TABLE 34 TEMPERATURE AND pH VALUES, POSTVELIGER SEITLEMENT COLLECTIONS Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant July-December 1992 DATE FOREBAY pH'C pH oC NES%pH'C 28 July 11 August 25 August 8 September 22 September 6 October 20 October 0 November December 22 December 8.2 8.5 8.1 7.9 8.1 a a 8.0 8.0 8.0 18.2 21.3 22.0 215 15.0 a a 10.4 7.2 3.7 8.1 8.7 8.2 8.1 8.2 8.1 8.1 8.0 8.1 8.0 18.7 22.2 22.9 22.5 16.7 14.6 12.5 113 8.5 43 7.9 8.7 8.1 8.1 8.2 8.1 8.1 8.0 8.1 8.0 22.9 22.3 22.7 21.9 182 15.1 12.7 115 8.7 5.7'Not available from plant personnel.

CHAPTER 4 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS 4.1 CIRCULATING AND SERVICE WHOLE-WATER SAMPLING Veliger abundance data presented in Table 3-1 must be viewed with caution.The many mechanical problems encountered sampling the forebay greatly influenced the results.Even though the data reported for 11 and 14 August represent 8-rather than 24-hr samples, these results, when extrapolated to a 24-hr period, may be the most representative of the concentration of veligers in the forebay during the four-week period.These forebay data may reflect the beginning of the spawning peak that resulted in peak settlement during September throughout the region (reported by numerous investigators during the Third International Zebra Mussel Conference, Toronto, February 1993).Comparison of the extrapolated forebay veliger concentrations to the veliger concentrations reported for the service water systems on 11 and 14 August suggests that forebay and service water concentrations were similar.Based on this comparison, concentrations of veligers in the forebay may have been similar to those reported for the service water systems on the earlier sampling dates.when mechanical problems occurred with forebay sampling.'.2 ARTIFICIAL SUBSTRATE SAMPLING 4.2.1 Forebay In the forebay, postveliger settlement was low until September, with the exception of the.central and north locations on 28 July.These higher concentrations most likely reflect a spawning spate that occurred during the flrst half of July, before the whole-water monitoring program was initiated.

The higher concentrations reported for September follow the trend reported by numerous other investigators working in the southern Lake Michigan region (Third International Zebra Mussel Conference).

Lawler, Matusky&Skelly Engineers The highest concentrations recorded at each location in the forebay occurred on 6 October, approximately three weeks after the Clam-Trol treatment.

While reasons for the high settlement are not known at this time, this phenomenon has been observed in previous years.The secondary peak of settlement recorded at the central and north locations on 10 November reflects the translocation of juveniles rather than settling of a new cohort during the sampling period.This translocation continued at reduced rates until the end of the sampling program in December.4.2.2 Service Water Systems Settlement occurred throughout the sampling season on the artificial substrates placed in the NESW and ESW systems.During the period covering the sets made on 28 July through those collected on 8 September, the concentrations in the service water system biomonitors exceeded the concentrations reported in the forebay.At a minimum, this indicates that the chlorine injection that occurred upstream of the biomonitors was ineffective at preventing settling.This is most likely attributable to the 2-hr continuous injection during each 24-hr period rather than intermittent injections throughout each day.A second confounding factor was the low flow, upfiow design of the biomonitors.

This design was amenable to easily clogging and may not have accurately represented the actual flow conditions in the systems at the monitoring locations, i.e.high velocities in service water pipes.Taken together, these two factors contributed to the high concentrations.

4.3 BEACH WALKS Beach walk inspections in the vicinity of the plant and St.Joseph's harbor revealed no indication of live, attached adult zebra mussels in these areas.Observations made near the plant revealed that a lack of suitable substrate was available for zebra mussel attachment.

Numbers of dead or detached shells in the drift line were observed in both locations.

These had washed on shore during storm events.Lawler, Matusky 4 Skelly Engineers 4.4 WATER QUALITY MONITORING Water temperatures in the forebay followed expected seasonal trends.Temperatures recorded at the NESW and ESW stations were slightly higher than those reported for the forebay with NESW temperatures being the highest.Values reported for pH indicate that pH generally ranged between 7.9 and 8.2.Exceptions occurred on 4 and 11 August when recorded pH values were between 8.4 and 8.7.All these values are basic, suggesting that water conditions are conducive to zebra mussel life history success.Actual water concentrations of calcium would be required to verify this condition.

4.5 RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on observations made during the course of this program, several recommendations are being presented to eliminate certain problems and to acquire a more complete data base.These include the following:

~Plate samplers rather than slide samplers are recommended for the forebay stations.~In-line flowmeters are recommended for all biobox installations.

This will eliminate inaccurate fiows being estimated when clogging or other mechanical problems prematurely end the sampling.~Commercially constructed bioboxes should be used for in-plant service water system sampling.These should be located in areas where pipeline flow is slow enough to permit postveliger settling.~Whole-water sampling should be initiated during the early part of May or when forebay temperatures are 10'C and continue to September.

According to Ellen Marsden (pers.commun.), portions of southern Lake Michigan were reported to have veliger densities of approximately 30,000/m3 by mid-May 1992.This is important to make decisions regarding initiation of preventive control programs.~Postveliger settlement sampling needs to be conducted from mid-May through December at a minimum.'I%is will allow monitoring of settlement times and preventative control success within the service water or other systems.Lawler, Matnsky 4 Skelly Engineers APPENDIX A EXPERIMENTAL COATINGS TEST Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant Forebay 17 July-8 September 1992 NAME JUVENILE INFESTATION POSTVELIGER SETTLEMENT (Norm~)Rhino-textured red Rhino-grey mesh Rhino-grey triangle Porter HKA 800 Sys 2000 Epotech 2000 Dow Envelon Wisconsin C-793 Porter Multi Easy-On Zebra Wax Plastic Bar Grill None Light None None None Heavy Medium Light Light None Light 1,599 1,599 12,799 none 3,733-5,333 34,133 5,866

SUMMARY

SUMMARY

This report summarizes the collection and analysis of various environmental sample media in 1992 for the Radiological Environmen-tal Monitoring Program for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant.The various analyses of most sample media suggest that there was no discernable impact of the nuclear plant on the environment.

The analysis of air particulate filters, charcoal cartridges, direct radiation by thermoluminescent dosimeters, fish, water, milk and sediments from Lake Michigan, drinking water, and food products, either did not detect any radioactivity or measured only naturally occurring radionuclides at normal background levels.Tritium, measured at low levels in on-site wells, appears to be the only radionuclide attributable to the plant operations.

However, the associated groundwater does not provide a direct dose pathway to man.

I.INTRODUCTION

~INTR D TI N The Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant's Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP)is conducted in compliance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.21 and 4.1, licensing commitments, and Technical Specifications.

The REMP was developed in accordance with the NRC Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position (BTP), Rev.I, November 1979.A synopsis of the sampling program and maps can be found in Section II, Sampling and Analysis Program.This report represents the Annual Environmental Operating Report for Units 1 and 2 of the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant for the operating period from January 1, 1992 through December 31, 1992.,A.The Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant of Indiana Michigan Power Company is located on the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan approximately one mile northwest of Bridgman, Michigan.The plant consists of two pressurized water reactors, Unit 1, 1030 MWE and Unit 2.1100 hGVE.Unit 1 achieved initial criticality on January 18, 1975 and Unit-2 achieved initial criticality on March 10, 1978.B Objectives The objectives of the operational radiological environmental monitoring program are: l.Identify and measure radiation and radioactivity in the plant environs for the calculation of potential dose to the population.

2.Verify the effectiveness of in-plant measures used for controlling the release of radioactive materials.

3.Provide reasonable assurance that the predicted doses, based on eQluent data, have not been substantially underestimated and are consistent with applicable standards.

i 4.Comply with regulatory requirements and Station Technical Specifications and provide records to document compliance.

4 II.SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PROGRAM II.AMPLIN AND ANALY I PR RAM Table 1 sunUnarizes the sampling and analysis program for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant for 1992.For each sample medium, the table lists the sample locations, including distance and direction from the center of the two units, and the station identiQcation.

The station identifications for many of the sampling locations are shown on the maps, Figures 1, 2, and 3.Also for each sample medium the sample collection frequency, type of analysis, and frequency of analysis are listed.

A synopsis of analytical procedures used for the environmental samples are proved in Appendix C.In addition to internal quality control measures performed by Teledyne, the laboratory also participates in the Environmental Protection Agency's Interlaboratory Comparison Program.Participation in this program ensures that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental samples are performed.

The results of the EPA Interlaboratory Comparison are provided in Appendix D.Radiological analyses of environmental media characteristically approach and frequently fall below the detection limits of state-of-the-art measurement methods.Teledyne Isotopes analytical methods meet or exceed the Lower Limit of Detection (LLD)requirements given in Table 2 of the USNRC Branch Technical Position of Radiological Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979.The following is a discussion and summary of the results of the environmental measurements performed during the reporting period.Comparison is made where possible with radioactivity concentrations measured in the preoperational period of August 1971 to the initial criticality of Unit 1 on January 12, 1975.A brief summary of the preoperational program is found in Appendix G.A.Airb rn P i ul Airborne particulate samples are collected with a constant flow oil less pump at 2.0 CFM using a 47 mm particulate filter.Results of gross beta activities are presented in Table B-1.The measurement of..

'4 the gross beta activity on the weekly air particulate liters is a good indication of the levels of natural and or manmade radioactivity in the environment.

The average gross beta concentration of the six indicator locations was 0.017 pCi/m~with a range of individual values between 0.003 and 0.035.pCi/m~.The average gross beta concentration of the four control locations w'as 0.017 pCi/m>with a range between 0.007 and 0.035 pCi/m.In Trending Graph 1 the monthly average gross beta concentrations for the indicator locations and for the control locations are plotted.The gross beta concentrations in air particulate liters in 1992 were lower than at the end of the preoperational period when the effects of recent atmospheric nuclear tests were being detected.Air particulate filters were composited by location on a quarterly basis and were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy.

'Beryllium-7 which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation was measured in all forty samples.The average concentration for the control locations was 0.108 pCi/m>and the values ranged from 0.088 to 0.177 pCi/m~.The average concentration for the indicator locations was 0.108 pCi/m>with a range of 0.085 to 0.153 pCi/m>.These values are typical of beryllium-7 measured at various locations throughout the United States.Naturally occurring potassium-40, probably from dust, was measured in six of the twenty-four indicator quarterly composites with an average concentration of 0.006 pCi/m~and a range of 0.003 to 0.011 pCi/m~.Potassium-40 was measured in one of the sixteen control quarterly composites with a concentration of 0.008 pCi/m>.No other gamma emitting radioactivity was detected.B.Airborne Iodine Airborne particulate samples are collected with a constant flow oil less pump at 2.0 CFM using a 47 mm particulate filter.Teda-3B charcoal cartridges are installed downstream of the particulate filters and are used to collect airborne radioiodine.

The results of the weekly analysis of the charcoal cartridges are presented in Table'B-3.

All results were below the lower level of detection with no positive activity detected.Dir R ia on-Thrm lumin n D im r Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs)measure external radiation exposure from several sources including naturally occurring radionuclides in the air and soQ, radiation from cosmic origin, fallout from atomic weapons testing, potential radioactive airborne releases from the power station and direct radiation from the power station.The TLDs record exposure from all of these potential sources.The TLDs are deployed quarterly at 27 locations in the environs surrounding the D.C.Cook Nuclear Plant.The average value of the four areas of each dosimeter (calibrated individually after each field exposure period for response to a known exposure and for transit exposure)are presented in Table B-4.Those exposure rates are quite typical of observed rates at many other locations in the country.The average annual measurement for the control samples was 3.68 mR/standard month with a range of 3.3 to 4.4 mR/standard month.The annual accumulation of indicator samples had a measurement of 3.94 mR/standard month with a range of 3.1 to 5.1 mR/standard

Thorium-228, also naturally occurring was measured in seven of the eight samples with an average concentration of 130 pCi/kg (dry weight)with a range from 95.3 to 150 pCi/kg (dry weight).Cesium-137, attributed to fallout from previous atmospheric nuclear tests, was not detected during 1992.All other gamma emitters were below the lower limits of detection.

MQk samples of one gallon are collected from a 500 gallon bulk tank every fourteen days from seven farms located between 4.1 miles and 20.7 miles from the site.Milk samples are preserved by adding 40 grams per gallon of sodium bisulfate when the samples are collected.

The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and for gamma emitters.The results are shown in Table B-9.Iodine-131 was not measured in any of the 175 samples analyzed." During the preoperational period potassium-40 was measured in all samples with a range from 520 to 2310 pCi/liter, a range comparable to that in 1992.Iodine-131 was measured in four samples collected soon after an atmospheric nuclear test with concentrations between 0.2 and 0.9 pCi/liter.

Naturally occurring potassium-40 was measured in all eight samples with an average concentration of 2401 pCi/kg (wet weight)and a range of 1630 to 3850 pCi/kg (wet weight).Cosmogenically produced beryllium-7 was measured in six of the eight samples with an average concentration of 1976 pCi/kg (wet weight)and a range of 58.2 to 4030 pCi/kg (wet weight).Cesium-137 was measured in two samples with an average concentration of 28.1 pCi/kg (wet weight)and a range of 19.9 to 36.2 pCi/kg (wet weight).31 IV.CONCLUSIONS 32 IV.CttNGL IOIIS The results of the 1992 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant have been presented.

The results were as expected for normal environmental samples.Naturally occurring radioactivity was observed in sample media in the expected activity ranges.Occasional samples of a few media showed the presence of man-made isotopes.These have been discussed individually in the text.Observed activities were at very low concentrations and had no significant dose consequence.

Specific examples of sample media with positive analysis results are discussed below.Air particulate gross beta concentrations of all the indicator locations for 1992 appears to follow the gross beta concentrations at the control locations.

The concentration levels are actually lower than during the preoperational period when the influence of atmospheric nuclear tests was being detected.Gamma isotopic analysis of the particulate samples identified the gamma.emitting isotopes as natural products (beryllium-7 and potassium-40).

No man-made activity was found in the particulate media during 1992.No iodine-131 was detected in charcoal filters in 1992.Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs)measure external gamma radiation from naturally occurring radionuclides in the air.and soil, radiation~from cosmic'origin and fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing, and radioactive airborne releases and direct radiation from the power plant.The average annual TLD results were at normal background exposure levels.Surface water samples are collected daily from the intake forebay and four locations in Lake Michigan.The samples are analyzed quarterly for tritium, and monthly for gamma emitting isotopes.Only one gamma emitter, cesium-137, was detected in one sample during 1992.Tritium was measured and the concentrations were at normal background levels.Groundwater samples were collected quarterly at thirteen wells, all within 3300 feet of the reactors.The three wells within 500 feet had 33 measurable tritium which is attributed to the operation of the plant.The tritium levels in 1992 compare well with those measured in 1991.The highest concentration measured in 1992 was 1500 pCi/liter while the highest concentration measured during 1991 was 1700 pCi/liter.

The tritium levels in groundwater have been plotted for the last decade and indicate decreasing levels of tritium.Potassium-40, a naturally occurring nuclide was observed in four samples during 1992.No other gamma emitting isotopes were detected.Samples are collected daily at the intakes of the drinking purlQcation plants for St.Joseph and Lake Township.Samples composited daily over a two week period are analyzed for iodine-131, gross beta, and for gamma emitting isotopes and analyzed quarterly for tritium.No iodine-131 or gamma emitting isotopes were detected.Gross beta was measured in all fifty-two samples at normal background concentrations.

Tritium was measured in four of the eight quarterly composite samples with background levels that were lower than those measured during 1991.Sediment samples can be a sensitive indicator of discharges from nuclear power stations.Sediment samples are collected semiannually along the shoreline of Lake Michigan at four locations in close proximity of the reactors.The samples were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy and only naturally occurring gamma emitters were detected.There is no evidence of station discharges affecting Lake Michigan, either in the sediments or in the water, as previously discussed.

Milk samples were collected every fourteen days from seven farms up to a distance of 20.7 miles from the site.The samples were measured for iodine-131 and for gamma emitting isotopes.Although I-131 was measured during 1989 there were no measurements of iodine-131 in milk during 1992 or 1991.Potassium-40 was measured in all mQk samples at normal background levels.Cesium-137 was detected in two samples.Fish samples collected in Lake Michigan in the vicinity of the nuclear plant were analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy.

The only gamma emitting isotope measured was cesium-137 which was in a very low concentration in one sample.

Food products, consisting of grapes, grape leaves, and broadleaf vegetation were cellected and analyzed by gamma ray spectroscopy.

The only gamma emitting isotope measured was cesium-137.

The results of the analyses have been presented.

Based on the evidence of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant is operating within regulatory limits.Tritium in Qve on-site wells appears to be the only radionuclide which can be directly correlated with the plant.However the associated groundwater does not provide a direct dose pathway to man.35 V.REFERENCES 36 V.REFERENCES l.United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Regulatory Guide 4.8"Environmental Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants", December 1975.2.Indiana Michigan Power Company, D.C.Cook Technical Specifications, Units 1 and 2.3.USNRC Branch Technical Position,"Acceptable Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program".Rev.1, November 1979.4.Eberline Instrument Company.Indiana Michigan Power Company,"D.C.Cook Nuclear Plant Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program-1974 Annual Report", May 1975.5.Data Tables from 1985-1988 CEP-AEPSC Annual Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Reports.6.United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Regulatory Guide 1.4"Programs for Monitoring Radioactivity in the Environs of Nuclear Power Plants", April 1975.7.United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Regulatory Guide 1.21"Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactivity in Solid Wastes and Releases of Radioactive Materials in Liquid and Gaseous Effluents from Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants, April 1974.37 APPENDIX A RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

removing particles greater than 30 microns in size.After evaporating to a small volume in a beaker, the sample is rinsed into a 2-inch diameter stainless steel planchet which is stamped with a concentric ring pattern to distribute residue evenly.Final evaporation to dryness takes place under heat lamps.Residue mass is determined by weighing the planchet before and after mounting the sample.The planchet is counted for beta activity on an automatic proportional counter.Results are calculated using empirical self-absorption curves which allow for the change in effective counting efficiency caused by the residue mass.74 2.0 ETE N APABILITY Detection capability depends upon the sample volume actually represented on the planchet, the background and the efficiency of the counting instrument, and upon self-absorption of beta particles by the mounted sample.Because the radioactive species are not identified, no decay corrections are made and the reported activity refers to the counting time.The minimum detectable level (MDL)for water samples is nominally 1.6 picocuries per liter for gross beta at the 4.66 sigma level (1.0 pCi/1 at the 2.83 sigma level), assuming that 1.liter of sample is used and that>1 gram of sample residue is mounted on the planchet.These Qgures are based upon a counting time of 50 minutes and upon representative values of counting efficiency and background of 0.2 and 1.2 cpm, respectively.

The MDL becomes significantly lower as the mount weight decreases because of reduced self-absorption.

At a zero mount weight, the 4.66 sigma MDL for gross beta is 0.9 picocuries per liter.These values reflect a beta counting efficiency of 0.38.75 ANALYSIS OF SAMPL FOR TRIT (Gas Counting)Water Approximately 2 ml of water are converted to hydrogen by passing the water, heated to its vapor state, over a granular zinc conversion column heated to 400'.The hydrogen is loaded into a one liter proportional detector and the volume is determined by recording the pressure.The proportional detector is passively shielded by lead and steel and an electronic, anticoincidence system provides additional shielding from cosmic rays.Calculation of the results, the two sigma error and the lower limit detection (LLD)in pCi/1: RESULT 3.234 TN VN(CG-B)/(CN Vs)I TWO SIGMA ERROR=2((CG+B)ht)>/23.234 TN VN/((CN Vs)(CG-B))4.66 (3.234)TN VN(CG)>/2/(ht CN VS)where: TN 3.234 VN Vs CN CG B h,t tritium units of the standard conversion factor changing tritium units to pCi/1 volume of the standard used to calibrate the-efficiency of the detector in psia volume of the sample loaded into the detector in psia the cpm activity of the standard of volume VN the gross activity in cpm of the sample of volume VS and the detector volume the background of the detector in cpm counting time for the sample ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR TRITIUM (Liquid Scintillation)

end of this appendix.Where possible, the causes of the deviations have been corrected to prevent recurrence.

There were five incidents in 1992 involving air samplers.Three of the five incidents involved actual malfunction of air sampling equipment.

This is a marked improvement over 1991 and is weQ below the industry average.The remaining two incidents resulted from a power surge during a thunderstorm which disabled the power supply to the air station.On 1/10/92 a milk sample was not obtained Gom the Wyant Farm.The wholesaler, who collects milk from dairy farmers, changed his route and arrived at the Wyant Farm earlier than usual.The REMP sample collector modified his collection route to prevent recurrence.

The Zelmer Farm notified the D.C.Cook Plant of their intention to go out of the dairy business.The Freehling Farm agreed to participate in the REMP Milk Sampling Program, thus replacing the Zelmer Farm.The Lozmack Farm was discontinued to prevent redundant sampling in the same land sector.During 1992 there were three occurrences involving the change in differential pressure (Delta'P')measured across air sample filter media.Two of these occurrences involved"settling" of the charcoal inside the TEDA charcoal cartridges.

This issue was resolved by utilizing more efficient TEDA cartridges, which are less prone to"settling".

An increase in the Delta'P'as measured at the South Bend air station and was attributed to dust loading.The sampling frequency was increased to semi-weekly for two sample periods which resolved the issue.Each of the air samplers are equipped with a pressure compensated regulator which adjusts the differential pressure when flow is impeded.118 REMP EXCEPTIONS FOR SCHEDULED SAMPLING AND ANAI.YSIS DURING 1992 Station Descri tion Date of Sam lin Reason(s)for Loss/Exce tion A-2 Air Particulate/

SUMMARY

OF THE 1992 LAND USE CENSUSThe Land Use Census is performed to ensure that significant changes in the areas in the immediate vicinity of the plant site are identified.

Any identified changes are evaluated to determine whether modifications must be made to the REMP or other related programs.No such changes were identified during the 1992 Land Use Census.The following is a summary of the 1992 results.Milk Farm Surve The milk farm survey is performed to update the list of milk farms located in the plant area, to identify the closest milk farm in each land sector, and to identify the nearest milk animal whose milk is used for human consumption.

The mQk farm survey for the Cook Power Plant was conducted on September 24, 1992.In 1992 there were no additions and five deletions from the list of area milk farms.None of the deleted milk farms were involved in the Cook Plant milk sampling program.The previously identified milk animal continues to be the closest milk animal to the plant.The milk animal is located 2.5 miles from the plant's centerline axis to the closest edge of the animal's pasture.Residential Surv The residential survey is performed to identify the closest residence to the plant in each land sector.The 1992 Annual Residential Land Use Survey was completed on September 28, 1992.This survey was conducted per procedure 12 THP 6010 ENV.059, using an updated list of new residential building permits from Lake Township and previous survey maps.The residence closest to the Plant in each land sector remains unchanged from the previous reporting year.121 Broadleaf Surv In accordance with Technical SpeciQcation (T/S)3.12.2, broadleaf vegetation sampling is performed in lieu of a garden census.Broadleaf sampling is performed to monitor for plant impact on the environment.

The samples are obtained at the site boundary.The broadleaf analytical results for 1992 were less than the Technical SpeciQcation LLDs.122 Figure 8 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY-DONALD C.COOK NUCLF~P Milk and Animal Survey-1992 Sxmrey Sector Year Distance Miles Name Address D G N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 5.1 5.1 10.5 10.5 6.8 6.8 4.1 4.1 7.0 7.0 7.7 7.7 12 12 No milk animals No mQk animals No mQk animals No milk animals No milk animals No mQk animals Gerald Totzke Gerald Totzke Andrews University Andrews University Lee Nelson Lee Nelson G.G.Shuler&Sons G.G.Shuler&Sons George Freehling George Freehling Jerry Warmbein Jerry Warmbeln Kenneth Tappan Kenneth Tappan N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A 6744 Totzke Rd., Baroda 6744 Totzke Rd., Baroda Berrien Springs Berrien Springs RFD 1, Box 390A, Snow Rd, Baroda RFD 1, Box 390A, Snow Rd.Baroda RFD 1, Snow Rd., Baroda RFD 1, Snow Rd., Baroda 2221 W.Glendora Rd., Buchanan 2221 W.Glendora Rd., Buchanan 14143 Mll Rd., Three Oaks 14143 Mll Rd., Three Oaks Rt.2, Kruger Rd, Three Oaks Rt.2, Kruger Rd, Three Oaks All other sectors are over water.(a)Reporting Year fb)Year prior to reporting year.123 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY-DONALD C.COOK NUCLEAR PLANT Resident)a)

SUMMARY

OF THE PREOPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL, MONITORING PROGRAM I A preoperational radiological environmental monitoring program was performed for the Donald C.Cook Nuclear Plant from August 1971 until the initial criticality of Unit 1 on Januaxy 18, 1975.The analyses of samples collected in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant were performed by Eberline Instrument Corporation.

The summaxy of the preoperational program presented in this appendix is based on the seven semi-annual reports covering the period.The purpose of this suxxxmaxy is to provide a comparison of the radioactivity measured in the environs of the plant during the pre-start up of Unit 1 and the radioactivity measured in 1992.As stated in the report for the period of July 1 to December 31, 1971, the purposes of a preoperational radiological monitoring program include: (a)"To yield average values of radiation levels and concentrations of radioactive material in various media of the environment.(b)To identify sample locations and/or types of samples that deviate from the averages.(c)To document seasonal variations that could be erroneously interpreted when the power station is operating.(d)To indicate the range of values that should be considered"background" for various types of samples.(e)To"proof test" the environmental monitoring equipment and procedures prior to operation of the nuclear power station.(h)To provide baseline information that wiO yield estimates of the dose to man.if any, which will result 5om plant operation." , The discussion that follows is for the various sample media collected and analyzed in both the preoperational period and during 1992.Analyses performed during the preoperational but not required in 1992, are not discussed.

The gross beta activity in air particulate Qlters ranged from 0.01 to 0.17 pCi/m3 from the middle of 1971 to the middle of 1973.In June of 1973 and in June of 1974 the People's Republic of China detonated atmospheric nuclear tests.As a result there were periods during which the gross beta results were elevated to as high as 0.45 pCi/m3 with no statistically significant differences between indicator and background stations.By the end of the preoperational period the values were approximately 0.06 pCi/m3.The gamma ray analyses of composited air particulate fQters showed"trace amounts" of Qssion products, Ce-144, Ru-106, Ru-103, Zr-95, and Nb-95, the results of fallout from previous atmospheric nuclear tests.Cosmogenically produced beryllium-7 was also detected.The direct radiation background as measured by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD)ranged between 1.0 and 2.0 mRem/week during the three and one-half years period.Milk samples during the preoperational period were analyzed for iodine-131 and by gamma ray spectroscopy (and for strontium-89 and strontium-90).

All samples had naturally occurring potassium-40 with values ranging between 520 and 2310 pCi/liter.

Cesium-137 was measured in many samples after the two atmospheric nuclear tests mentioned above.The cesium-137 activity ranged&om 8 to 33 pCi/liter.

Iodine-131 was measured in four milk samples collected July 9, 1974.The values ranged between 0.2 and 0.9 pCi/liter.

Lake water samples were collected and analyzed for tritium and by gamma ray spectroscopy.

Tritium activities were below 1000 pCi/liter and typically averaged about 400 pCi/liter.

No radionuclides were detected by gamma ray spectroscopy.

129 Gamma ray spectroscopy analyses of lake sediment detected natural abundances of potassium-40, uranium and thorium daughters, and traces of cesium-137 below 0.1 pCi/g which is attributed to fallout.Gamma spectroscopy analyses of fish detected natural abundances of potassium-40 and traces of cesium-137, the latter attributed to fallout.Drinking water analysis was not part of the preoperational program.130 APPENDIX H

SUMMARY

OF THE REMP QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM 131 SUIHlHARY OF THE REMP QUALXXY CONTROL PROGRAM The plant procedure for implementing the quality control program references Regulatory Guide 4.15.The program utilizes blank, replicate and spiked samples within four diferent parameters; gamma isotopic, tritium, iodine and gross beta.The blank and replicate samples are prepared at the D.C.Cook Plant and the spiked samples are prepared by Teledyne Isotopes.Twenty five quality control analyses were performed during 1992.Over ninety percent (23)of the samples analyzed gave acceptable results, however two samples did not meet the acceptance criteria of 2 two standard deviations from the known value.The third quarter tritium sample did not meet the acceptance criteria.Teledyne conducted an investigation which included reviewing lab procedures.

technician protocol and verificatio of instrument control charts.A new sample was prepared and gave acceptable results.The fourth quarter gross beta sample did not meet the acceptance criteria.Teledyne Isotopes conducted an acceptable investigation to determine the root cause.The analyses was repeated with acceptable results.132 APPENDIX I SUMEGQtY OF THE SPIKE AND BLANK SAMPLE PROGRAM 133

SUMMARY

OF THE SPIKE AND BLANK SdQMPLE PROGRAM The following tables list the blanks and spiked water samples analyzed during 1992 for the Teledyne Isotopes In-house Quality Assurance Program.Analysis date is analogous to collection date to identify weekly analysis of samples.Three analyses for gross beta activity were reported outside the specified acceptable ranges.No documented corrective action was taken because in accordance with Section 9.1 of our Quality Control Manual (IWL-0032-365), the acceptance criteria for a particular analysis"is within 3 standard deviations of the EPA one sigma.one determination as specified in the Environmental Radioactive Laboratory Studies Program EPA-600/4-81-004, Table 3, Page 8".For gross beta activity below 100 pCi/1 the control level at which corrective action must be taken is 2 15 pCi/1.The quality assurance department operationally investigates gross beta spike results which exceed the one standard deviation, one determination levels (2 5 pCi/1), because of previous experience in reporting results within that level.Control charts for gross alpha and beta spikes did not indicate any bias in results.For the tritium spikes by gas analysis the three standard deviations of the EPA one sigma, one determination would be greater than 1000 pCi/1 for a spike level of 1500 pCi/1.The quality assurance department operationally investigates tritium spike results which exceed k 200 pCi/1.Control charts indicated a low bias in tritium spike results with only five out of thirty-seven measurements outside the 15%operational acceptance criteria.In August 1992 the gas counters were removed from service (not as a consequence of the quality control sample results)and was not returned to service.Samples were counted ori the liquid scintillation counter which exhibited excellent performance without any obvious bias in quality control sample results throughout 1992.

However, the weekly blank measurements continued with the lower measurement sensitivity until the end of the year.In 1993 the tritium blank analysis will be performed by the more sensitive liquid scintillation method.145 APPENDIX J TLD QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM i46 TLD QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM Teledyne Isotopes performs an in-house quality assurance testing program for the environmental TLD laboratory.

On a quarterly basis the QA manager or a qualiQed designate exposes groups of TLDs to three different doses using a known cesium-137 exposure rate.The performance of the second quarter test in the early part of the third quarter had no impact on TLD results reported throughout the year.Due to an increased workload, the QA manager performed the second quarter exposures on July 14, 1992.Subsequent third and fourth quarter exposures were performed in September and November to ensure four tests would be performed for 1992.Typical exposures are between 20 and 80 mR.The TLDs are readout on each of the three Model 8300 Readers in the environmental TLD laboratory and the calculated results are reported to the QA manager.The QA manager evaluates the results and writes a report discussing the performance of the labs.For 1992 all results were within the requirements of Regulatory Guide 4.13, Section'C.The standard deviations were less than 7.5%and the variations from the known were less than 30%.The accompanying graphs show the normalized deviations of the measured doses to the exposure doses for each of the three readers.
