1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report summarizes and interprets results of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) conducted by Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, during the period January - December, 2012.
This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the Plant on its surroundings.
Tabulations of the individual analyses made during the year are not included in this report. These data are included in a reference document (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2012a) available at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.
The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is a boiling water reactor with a nominal generating capacity of 600 MWe. It is located on the Mississippi River in Wright County, Minnesota, owned by Xcel Energy Corporation and operated by Northern States Power Co.-Minnesota. Initial criticality was achieved on December 10, 1970. Full power was achieved March 5, 1971 and commercial operation began on June 30, 1971.

SUMMARY
The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications and the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is described. Results for the year 2012 are summarized and discussed.
Program findings show background levels of radioactivity in the environmental samples collected in the vicinity of the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

3.0 RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM (REMP) 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant is to assess the impact of the Plant on its environment. For this purpose, samples are collected from the air, terrestrial, and aquatic environments and analyzed for radioactive content. In addition, ambient gamma radiation levels are monitored by thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's).
Sources of environmental radiation include the following:
(1) Natural background radiation arising from cosmic rays and primordial radionuclides; (2) Fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonations; (3) Releases from nuclear power plants; (4) Industrial and medical radioactive waste; and (5) Fallout from nuclear accidents.
In interpreting the data, effects due to the Plant must be distinguished from those due to other sources.
A major interpretive aid in assessment of these effects is the design of the monitoring program at the Monticello Plant which is based on the indicator-control concept. Most types of samples are collected both at indicator locations (nearby, downwind, or downstream) and at control locations (distant, upwind, or upstream). A plant effect would be indicated if the radiation level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location. The difference would have to be greater than could be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources.
An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in environmental samples collected from the Plant site. The Plant's monitoring program includes analyses for tritium and iodine-1 31. Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified: zirconium-95, cesium-1 37, cerium-144, beryllium-7, and potassium-40. The first three gamma-emitting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission product mix produced by a nuclear reactor and that produced by a nuclear detonation.
Each of the three isotopes is produced in roughly equivalent amounts by a reactor: each constitutes about 10% of the total activity of fission products 10 days after reactor shutdown. On the other hand, 10 days after a nuclear explosion, the contributions of zirconium-95, cerium-144, and cesium-137 to the activity of the resulting debris are in the approximate ratio 4:1:0.03 (Eisenbud, 1963). Beryllium-7 is of cosmogenic origin and potassium-40 is a naturally-occurring isotope. They were chosen as calibration monitors and should not be considered as radiological impact indicators. The other group quantified consists of niobium-95, ruthenium-103 and -106, cesium-134, barium-lanthanum-140, and cerium-141. These isotopes are released in small quantities by nuclear power plants, but to date their major source of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing. Nuclides of the final group, manganese-54, iron-59, cobalt-58 and -60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products. They are typical components of a nuclear power plant's effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.
Other means of distinguishing sources of environmental radiation are employed in interpreting the data. Current radiation levels are compared with previous levels, including those measured before the plant became operational. Results of the Plant's Monitoring Program can be related to those obtained in other parts of the world. Finally, results can be related to events known to cause elevated levels of radiation in the environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonations.

3.2 Progqram Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Plant is summarized in Table 5.1 and briefly reviewed below. Table 5.2 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.1 and specifies for each location its type (indicator or control) and its distance, direction, and sector relative to the plant site. To assure that sampling is carried out in a reproducible manner, detailed sampling procedures have been prescribed (Monticello Generating Plant REMP Surveillances, Current Revision). Maps of sampling locations are included in Appendix D.
To monitor the air environment, airborne particulates are collected on membrane filters by continuous pumping at five locations. Also, airborne iodine is collected by continuous pumping through charcoal filters at all of these locations. Filters, are changed and counted weekly.
Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-1 31. Quarterly composites of particulate filters from each location are determined by gamma spectroscopy. One of the five locations is a control (M-1), and four are indicators (M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5). One of the indicators is located in the geographical sector expected to be most susceptible to any atmospheric emissions from the Plant (highest D/Q sector).
Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at forty locations, using CaSO 4:Dy dosimeters with four sensitive areas at each location: fourteen in an inner ring in the general area of the site boundary, sixteen in the outer ring within 4-5 mile radius, six at special interest locations and four control locations, outside a 10 mile radius from the plant. They are replaced and measured quarterly.
Milk sampling from two goat farms (one indicator, M-16 and one control, M-17) was added to the program in 2010. Samples are collected monthly from November through April and biweekly during the growing season (May - October), when animals may be on pasture. The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes. In addition, pasture grass and vegetation are collected from locations M-41, M-42 and M-43 (C). The samples are analyzed for iodine-131 and other gamma emitting isotopes, as substitute for dairy sampling.
Vegetables, corn and potatoes are collected annually if fields are irrigated by water in which liquid radioactive effluent has been discharged. Analysis is done for gamma-emitting isotopes.
Ground water is monitored by quarterly collections from three off-site locations (one control and two indicators) and one on-site Plant well. To prevent possible groundwater contamination due to plant operations, samples from nineteen on-site monitoring wells are collected and analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes. The Ground Water Monitoring Program is further described in Appendix E.
Quarterly collections of storm water runoff were added to monitor another possible pathway to the groundwater aquifer. The samples are also analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes.
River water is collected weekly at two locations, one upstream of the plant and one downstream.
Monthly composites are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.
Drinking water is collected weekly from the City of Minneapolis water supply, which is taken from the Mississippi River downstream of the Plant. Monthly composites are analyzed for gross beta, iodine-131, and gamma-emitting isotopes. Quarterly composites are analyzed for tritium.
The aquatic environment is also monitored by semi-annual upstream and downstream collections of fish, invertebrates, and shoreline sediments. Shoreline sediment is also collected from one downstream recreational location. All.samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

3.4 Laboratory Procedures The iodine-131 analyses in milk and drinking water were made using a sensitive radiochemical procedure which involves separation of the iodine using an ion-exchange method and solvent extraction and subsequent beta counting.
Gamma-spectroscopic analyses are performed using high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors.
Levels of iodine-1 31 in cabbage and natural vegetation and concentrations of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were determined by gamma spectroscopy.
Tritium concentrations are determined by liquid scintillation.
Analytical. Procedures used by Environmental, Inc. are on file and are available for inspection.
Procedures are based on those prescribed by the Health and Safety Laboratory of the U.S. Dep't of Energy, Edition 28, 1997, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Measurement of Radioactivity in Drinking Water, 1980, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EERF, Radiochemical Procedures Manual, 1984.
Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has a comprehensive quality control/quality assurance program designed to assure the reliability of data obtained. Details of the QA Program are presented elsewhere (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, 2012). The QA Program includes participation in Interlaboratory Comparison (crosscheck) Programs. Results obtained in the crosscheck programs are presented in Appendix A.
3.5 Program Modifications There were no program modifications made to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant in 2012. Additions to the Groundwater monitoring program are detailed in Appendix E.
3.6 Land Use Census In accordance with the MNGP Chemistry Manual, Procedure 1.05.41, "Annual Land Use Census and Critical Receptor Identification", a land use census shall be conducted and shall identify the location of the nearest milk animal, the nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 ft 2 producing fresh leafy vegetables, in each of the 16 meteorological sectors within a distance of 5 miles. The census shall also identify the locations of all milk animals and all 500 ft 2 or greater gardens producing broad leaf vegetation in each of the meteorological sectors within a distance of three miles. This census shall be conducted at least once per year between the dates of May 1 and October 31. New locations shall be added to the radiation environmental monitoring program within 30 days and sampling locations having lower calculated doses or a lower dose commitment may be deleted from this monitoring program after October 31 of the year in which the land use census was conducted.
The 2012 land use census was conducted between September 10 and September 14, 2012.
In the SSE and NW sectors, the highest D/Q value for nearest garden increased by greater than 20%. Closer gardens were identified. The highest D/Q locations for nearest resident and milk animal did not change from the 2011 census. The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) will be revised to reflect the sector changes.
The location for critical receptor did not change from the 2011 census.
Details of the land use census are contained in the Land Use Census and Critical Receptor Report, Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.

4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All of the scheduled collections and analyses were made except those listed in Table 5.3.
All results are summarized in Table 5.4 in a format recommended by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Regulatory Guide 4.8. For each type of analysis of each sampled medium, this table lists the mean and range for all indicator locations and for all control locations. The locations with the highest mean and range are also shown.
4.1 Atmospheric Nuclear Detonations and Nuclear Accidents There were no reported accidents involving significant release to the environment at nuclear reactor facilities in 2012. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident occurred March 11, 2011.
There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 2012. The last reported test was conducted on October 16, 1980 by the People's Republic of China.
4.2 Summary of Preoperational Data The following constitutes a summary of preoperational studies conducted at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant during the years 1968 to 1970, to determine background levels expected in the environment, and provided, where applicable, as a means for comparison with present day levels. Strict comparisons, however, are difficult to make, since background levels of radiation were much higher in these years due to radioactive fallout from the atmosphere. Gross 2 2 beta measurements in fallout averaged 20,600 pCi/m in 1969 and 12,000 pCi/m in 1970. These levels are reflected throughout the various media tested.
in the air environment, ambient gamma radiation (TLDs) averaged 9.1 mRem/4 weeks during preoperational studies (1970). Gross beta in air particulates in 1969 and 1970 averaged 0.20 3 3 pCi/m . Present day levels have stabilized at around 0.025 pCi/m . Airborne radioiodine remained below detection levels.
In the terrestrial environment of 1968 to 1970, milk, agricultural crops, and soil were monitored. In milk samples, low levels of Cs-1 37 and Sr-90 were detected. Cs-137 levels averaged 16.7 pCi/L.
Soybean crop measurements in 1969 averaged 35.5 pCi/g for gross beta and 0.3 pCi/g for Cs-137. Gross beta measured in soil averaged 51.7 pCi/g . Presentday measurements for cesium-137 are below detection levels in milk and agricultural crops.
The aqueous environment was monitored by testing of river water, bottom sediments, fish, aquatic vegetation, and periphyton. Specific location comparison of drinking, river, and well water concentrations for tritium and gross beta are not possible. However, tritium background levels, measured at seven separate locations from 1968 to 1970, averaged 970 pCi/L. Present day environmental samples measure below detection levels. Values for gross beta, measured from 1968 to 1970, averaged 9.8 pCi/L in upstream and downstream Mississippi River water, 4.4 pCi/L for well waters, and 18.6 pCi/L for lake waters. Gamma emitters were below the lower limit of detection (LLD). In shoreline sediments, gross beta background levels in 1970 averaged 49.8 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Cs-137 activity averaged 0.10 pCi/g for both upstream and downstream samples. Low levels of Cs-137, occasionally observed today can still be attributed to residual activity from atmospheric fallout. Gross beta levels in fish flesh averaged 5.3 pCi/g in 1968 and 1969. Cs-137, measured in 1969 and 1970, averaged 0.044 pCi/g. Gross beta background levels, in 1970, for aquatic vegetation, algae, and periphyton samples measured 86.7 pCi/g, 76.5 pCi/g, and 28.1 pCi/g respectively.

4.3 Progqram Findings Results obtained show background levels of radioactivity in environmental samples collected outside of the Site Protected Area in 2012. The trace levels of strontium-90 and cesium-137, still measurable in soil and sediment samples, are generally attributed to deposition of fallout from previous decades.
Tritium was identified in some groundwater samples collected within the site Protected Area.
Ambient Radiation (TLD's)
Ambient radiation was measured in the general area of the site boundary, at an outer ring 4 - 5 mi.
distant from the Plant, at special interest areas and at four control locations. The means were similar for both inner and outer rings (16.2 and 15.5 mRem/91 days, respectively). The mean for special interest locations was 14.1 mRem/91 days and the mean for the control locations was 15.5 mRem/91 days. Dose rates measured at the inner and outer ring locations were similar to those observed from 1997 through 2011 and are tabulated below. No plant effect on ambient gamma radiation is indicated (Figure 5-1).

Typically, the highest average readings occur during the months of January and December, and the first and fourth quarters, as observed in 1997 through 2012.
Gamma spectroscopic analysis of quarterly composites of air particulate filters yielded similar results for indicator and control locations. Beryllium-7, which is produced continuously in the upper atmosphere by cosmic radiation3(Arnold and AI-Salih, 1955) was detected in all samples, with an average activity of 0.066 pCi/m for all locations. All other gammaemitting isotopes were below their respective LLD limits.
Airborne Iodine 3
Weekly levels of airborne iodine-1 31 were below the lower limit of detection (LLD) of 0.03 pCi/m in all samples.

Comparisons with data reported by the USEPA for Minneapolis drinking water samples collected from 1980 through 2005 indicate that concentrations of these nuclides are remaining fairly constant. Gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all surface water samples.
There was no indication of a plant effect.
Well Water At the four indicator and control locations, tritium measured below 500 pCi/L for all samples.
Gamma isotopic results were below detection limits.
The data for 2012 were consistent with previous years results and no plant operational effects were indicated.
Goat Milk Iodine-131 activity measured below the detection limit of 0.5 pCi/L for all samples. No gamma-emitting isotopes, excepting naturally-occurring potassium-40, were detected.
In summary, the data for 2012 showed no radiological effects of the plant operation.
Pasture Grass Pasture grass was collected in July, August and September, 2012. Iodine-131 concentrations measured below 0.044 pCi/g wet weight in all samples. With the exceptions of naturally-occurring beryllium-7 and potassium-40, no other gamma-emitting isotopes were detected.
10
Crops A vegetation collection was not required for 2012. No crops, within five miles of the plant, were found using irrigation water from the Mississippi River.
Fish Fish were collected in May and October. Flesh was separated from the bones and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Only naturally-occurring potassium-40 was found in the upstream and downstream samples (3.36 and 3.34 pCi/g wet weight, respectively). Other gamma-emitting isotopes remained below detection limits. There was no indication of a plant effect.
Invertebrates Samples were collected in September of 2012, and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. All gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits. There was no indication of any plant effect.
Shoreline Sediments Upstream, downstream and downstream recreational area shoreline sediment collections were made in September of 2012 and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. High water prevented a May collection. A low level of cesium-1 37 was detected in one downstream sample (M-15), at a concentration of 0.081 pCi/g dry weight. Similar levels of activity and distribution have been observed since 1978, and are indicative of the influence of fallout deposition. Naturally-occurring beryllium-7 and potassium-40 were also detected. There was no indication of a plant effect.

Measurable tritium above 500 pCi/L was detected in 8 of 172 samples collected from the nineteen on-site monitoring wells. The activities ranged from 507 to 3,044 pCi/L, similar to concentrations seen in 2010 and 2011. The highest activities were observed at well MW-1 3A.
Gamma isotopic measurements were below detection limits.
Stormwater Run-off (on-site)
Tritium activity was detected in one of the six stormwater runoff samples submitted for analysis in 2012 and measured 4,479 pCi/L. Gamma isotopic results were below detection limits.

Results are reported in Appendix A. TLD Intercomparison results, in-house spikes, blanks, duplicates and mixed analyte performance evaluation program results are also reported. Appendix A is updated four times a year; the complete Appendix is included in March, June, September and December monthly progress reports only.
January, 2012 through December, 2012
Appendix A Interlaboratory Comparison Proqram Results Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory has participated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formulation of it's quality control program in December 1971. These programs are operated by agencies which supply environmental type samples containing concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing agency but not to participant laboratories. The purpose of such a program Is to provide an independent check on a laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it of any possible problems.
Participant laboratories measure the concentration of specified radionuclides and report them to the issuing agency. Several months later, the agency reports the known values to the participant laboratories and specifies control limits. Results consistently higher or lower than the known values or outside the control limits indicate a need to check the instruments or procedures used.
Results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the U.S. EPA Environmental Monitoring Systems Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Table A-2 lists results for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs), via International Intercomparison of Environmental Dosimeters, when available, and internal laboratory testing.
Table A-3 lists results of the analyses on in-house "spiked" samples for the past twelve months. All samples are prepared using NIST traceable sources. Data for previous years available upon request.
Table A-4 lists results of the analyses on in-house "blank" samples for the past twelve months. Data for previous years available upon request.
Table A-5 lists REMP specific analytical results from the in-house "duplicate" program for the past twelve months. Acceptance is based on the difference of the results being less than the sum of the errors.
Complete analytical data for duplicate analyses is available upon request.
The results in Table A-6 were obtained through participation in the Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program.
Results in Table A-7 were obtained through participation in the environmental sample crosscheck program administered by Environmental Resources Associates, serving as a replacement for studies conducted previously by the Environmental Measurement Laboratory Quality Assessment Program (EML).
Attachment A lists the laboratory precision at the 1 sigma level for various analyses. The acceptance criteria in Table A-3 is set at +/- 2 sigma.
Out-of-limit results are explained directly below the result.

APPENDIX B DATA REPORTING CONVENTIONS B-1
Data Reporting Conventions 1.0. All activities, except gross alpha and gross beta, are decay corrected to collection time or the end of the collection period.
2.0. Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows: x+s where: x = value of the measurement; s = 2a counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).
In cases where the activity is less than the lower limit of detection L, it is reported as: < L, where L = the lower limit of detection based on 4.66a uncertainty for a background sample.
3.0. Duplicate analyses If duplicate analyses are reported, the convention is as follows.
3.1 Individual results: For two analysis results; x 1 _ s1 and x2 + s2 Reported result: x +/- s; where x = (1/2) (x1 + x2) and s = (1/2) S1
+
3.2. Individual results: < L, < L2 Reported result: < L, where L = lower of L1 and L2 3.3. Individual results: x +/- s, < L Reported result: x +/- s if x -> L; < L otherwise.
4.0. Computation of Averages and Standard Deviations 4.1 Averages and standard deviations listed in the tables are computed from all of the individual measurements over the period averaged; for example, an annual standard deviation would not be the average of quarterly standard deviations. The average x and standard deviation "s" of a set of n numbers xi, x 2 .2. xn are defined as follows:
-- 1 x = Zx s= n-4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.
4.3 Ifall values in the averaging group are less than the highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.
4.4 If all but one of the values are less than the highest LLD, the single value x and associated two sigma error is reported.
4.5 In rounding off, the following rules are followed:
4.5.1. If the number following those to be retained is less than 5, the number is dropped, and the retained numbers are kept unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.
4.5.2. If the number following those to be retained is equal to or greater than 5, the number is dropped and the last retained number is raised by 1. As an example, 11.445 is rounded off to 11.45.

APPENDIX E Ground Water Monitoring Well Samples
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This appendix to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Annual Report to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission summarizes and interprets results of the Ground Water Monitoring Program samples taken at the Monticello Nuclear Plant, Monticello, Minnesota, during the period January - December 2012. This sampling program was established in October of 2006 following the industry initiative on ground water monitoring.
Complete data tables for each period and sampling location, are provided in a reference document, (Environmental, Inc., Midwest Laboratory, "Complete Analyses Data Tables, January - December, 2012") available at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Chemistry and Radiation Protection Department.

SUMMARY
The Ground Water Sampling Program was established following industry events where tritium was discovered in ground water surrounding commercial nuclear facilities. This program is described and the results for 2012 are summarized and discussed.
Program findings for 2012 detected low levels of tritium in monitoring wells located on the plant property. With the exception of monitoring wells MW-9A, MW-10 and MW-13A, tritium measured at or near expected natural background levels. The 2012 sample results (excluding MW-9A, MW-10 and MW-1i3A) all measured below the required limit of 500 pCi/L. One of six storm water runoff samples collected in October from the sanitary sewer, measured 4479 pCi/L of tritium. The remaining samples measured less than 500 pCi/L. The measurements for 2012 are well below the Environmental Protection Agency's drinking water standard of 20,000 pCi/L and present no harm to members of the public.
None of the samples monitored for gamma-emitting isotopes showed activity greater than the LLD.
A summation of the analytical data for both ground water monitoring wells and storm water runoff samples is provided in Table E-3.

3.0 Ground Water SamDlina Program 3.1 Progqram Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of this sampling program is to assess the impact of any tritium leaching into the environment (ground water system) from MNGP. For this purpose, water samples are collected and analyzed for tritium content.
3.2 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the Ground Water Monitoring Program is summarized in Table E-1 and briefly reviewed below. Table E-2 defines the additional sample locations and codes for the Ground Water Sampling Program.
Sampling from the groundwater monitoring wells was conducted monthly at fourteen locations and quarterly for five locations.
3.3 Program Execution The Program was executed as described with the following exceptions:
Ground water from location MW-14, October 17, 2012, was not collected as scheduled.
Additional analyses for gamma emitting isotopes were performed on samples from each of the nineteen monitoring wells. Results are summarized in Table E-3.
3.4 Program Modifications Two additional on-site monitoring wells MW-15A, 15B (approx. 0.14 mi / NNE) were added to the ground water program in July, 2012. Samples are analyzed for tritium and gamma emitting isotopes.

3.5 Results and Discussions Results obtained show tritium in ground water samples at or near expected natural background levels, with the exception of monitoring wells, MW-9A, MW-10 and MW-1 3A.
Excluding data for wells MW-9A, MW-1 0 and MW-1 3A, the 2012 sample results are similar or slightly lower than averages seen in 2011 and within the range of expected background tritium levels in groundwater, due to tritium concentrations measured in precipitation.
Sampling points in North America have shown tritium concentrations in precipitation ranging from 5 pCi/L to 157 pCi/L (Environmental Isotope Data No. 10; World Survey of Isotope Concentration in Precipitation (1988-1991).
The tritium activity detected at sites MW-9A and MW-10 ranged from a high of 770 pCi/L to <
500 pCi/L. These levels were lower than measurements taken in 2011. Previous investigations concluded that the higher tritium activity was due to a 1981 spill from the Condensate Storage Tanks, that had infiltrated the surface and migrated towards MW-9.
Tritium concentrations measured at location MW-13A were higher than previously measured in 2011. A spike in activity occurred in March and April, 2012, declined in May, and dropped through the rest of the year. Activity ranged from a high of 3044 to less than 500 pCi/L.
No groundwater sample analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes showed activity greater than LLD.
