The Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications for the Duane Arnold Nuclece Generating Plant is described. Results for 1982 are summarized and discussed.
Results for 1982 are summarized and discussed.
Results obtained for gross beta in airborne particulates collected during the first quarter of 1982 show a moderate effect of fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonation of a 200 kiloton to 1 megaton range device on 16 October 1980. Presence of other fission products, mostly strontium-90 and cesium-137, in some of the sampling media indicates a long range effect on the environment from fallout resulting from previous atmospheric nuclear tests.

Cesium-137 is also a long-lived component (with a half-life of 30.2A years) of worldwide fallout and is found in the environment in trace amounts. The apparent absence of the effect of the latest nuclear test (October 1980) on strontium-90 and cesium-137 results is consistent with the low initial production of these isotopes in nuclear explosions (Eisen-l   bud , 1963) . No other gamma-emitting isotopes, except potassium-40, were detected in any milk samples     This is consistent with the finding of the National Center for Radiolo ical Health that most radiocontaminants in feed do not find their way nto milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow.     The common exceptions are radioisotopes of patassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine (National Center for Radiological Health, 1968).

River Sediments River sediments were collected in May and November and analyzed for strontium-90 and gamma-emitting isotopes.
Strontium-90 results were below the LLD level of 0.025 pCi/g in all samples but one. The detected activ-ity was 0.043 pCi/g dry weight in a Plant intake sample.
Cesium-137 was detected in two samples and was 0.35 pCi/g dry weight and 0.09 pCi/g dry weight, in indicator and control samples, respectively.

Participant laboratories measure the concentrations 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.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report summarizes and interprets results of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program conducted by Hazleton Environmental Sciences at the Duane Arnold Energy Center, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, during the period January - December, 1982.

This Program monitors the levels of radioactivity in the air, terrest-rial, and aquatic environments in order to assess the impact of the Plant on its surroundings.

Tabulation of the individual analyses made during the year are not included in this report.

These data are included in a reference document (Hazleton Envi-ronmental Sciences, 1983) available at the Iowa Electric Light and Power Company, Nuclear Support Services Department.

Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) is located in Linn County on the Cedar River, Iowa, and is operated by Iowa Electric Light and Power Company. Duane Arnold I Nuclear Station is a 538 MWe boiling water reactor.

Initial criticality was attained on 23 March 1974.

The reactor reached 1007, power on 12 August 1974.

Commercial operation began on 1 February 1975.

SUMMARY

The Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program required by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Technical Specifications for the Duane Arnold Nuclece Generating Plant is described.

Results for 1982 are summarized and discussed.

Results obtained for gross beta in airborne particulates collected during the first quarter of 1982 show a moderate effect of fallout from atmospheric nuclear detonation of a 200 kiloton to 1 megaton range device on 16 October 1980.

Presence of other fission products, mostly strontium-90 and cesium-137, in some of the sampling media indicates a long range effect on the environment from fallout resulting from previous atmospheric nuclear tests.

No effect on the environment due to the operation of the Duane Arnold Nuclear Plant is indicated.

V 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING PROGRAM 3.1 Program Design and Data Interpretation The purpose of the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program at the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) 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.

l In interpreting the data, effects due to the DAEC operation must be l

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 DAEC 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 (di stant, upwind, or upstream).

A station effect would be indicated if the radia-tion level at an indicator location was significantly larger than that at the control location.

The difference would have to be greater than could l

be accounted for by typical fluctuations in radiation levels arising from other sources.

An additional interpretive technique involves analyses for specific radionuclides present in the environmental samples collected from the DAEC site.

The DAEC's monitoring program includes analyses for strontium-89, strontium-90, and iodine-131, which are fission products, and tritium, which is produced by cosmic rays, atmospheric nuclear detonations, and also by nuclear power plants.

Most samples are also analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes with results for the following groups quantified:

zirconium-95, cesium-137, and cerium-144.

These three gamma-emi tting isotopes were selected as radiological impact indicators because of the different characteristic proportions in which they appear in the fission 3

HAZLETON GNVIRONMINTAL CCIENC'20 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).

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 tource of injection into the general environment has been atmospheric nuclear testing.

Nuclides of the next group, manganese-54, cobalt-58, and -60, and zinc-65, are activation products and arise from activation of corrosion products.

They are typical components of nuclear power plant's effluents, but are not produced in significant quantities by nuclear detonations.

Nuclides of the final group, beryllium-7, which is of cosmogenic origin, and potassium-40, a naturally-occuring isotope, were chosen as calibration monitors and should not be considered radio-logical impact indicators.

i Characteristic properties of isotopes quantified in gamma-spectroscopic analyses are presented in Table 5.1.

Other means of distinguishing

, O' sources of environmental radiation can be employed in interpreting the l

data.

Current radiation levels can be compared with previous levels, including those measured before the Plant became operational.

Results of the DAEC'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 Program Description The sampling and analysis schedule for the environmental radiological monitoring program at the DAEC is summarized in Table 5.2 and is briefly reviewed below.

Table 5.3 defines the sampling location codes used in Table 5.2 and specifies for each location its type (indicator or control) and its distance, direction, and sector relative to the reactor site.

The types of samples collected at each location and the frequency of collections are presented in Table 5.4 using codes defined in Table 5.5.

To monitor the air environment, airborne particulates are collected on membrane filters by continuous pumping at sixteen locations.

Also, airborne iodine is collected by continuous pumping through charcoal filters at eight of these locations.

Twelve of the sixteen locations O~

l 4

i

HAZLETON CNVIRZNMENTAL CCENC23 Ob are indicators and four are controls (D-1, D-2, D-12, and 0-13).

Filters are changed and counted weekly.

Particulate filters are analyzed for gross beta activity and charcoal filters for iodine-131.

Charcoal filters are analyzed on two composites:

one from locations D-8, D-12, and D-14, and one from locations D-4, D-5, 0-7, 0-11, and D-15.

If iodine-131 is detected, each cartridge is analyzed individually.

Quar-terly composites of airborne particulates from each location are analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90, and gamma-scanned on a Ge(Li) detector.

Ambient gamma radiation is monitored at fifteen (15) air sampling loca-tions.

In addition, gamma radiation is monitored at forty-eight (48) special locations:

sixteen (16) in a circle within 0.5 mi radius of the DAEC stack; sixteen (16) in 22.5* sectors within 1 mi of the DAEC stack; and sixteen (16) in 22.5* sectors between 1 and 3 miles of the DAEC stack. The sensors are placed in quintuplicate at each location and are exchanged and analyzed monthly.

Additionally, a second set of dosimeters is placed at the same locations and exchanged and analyzed annually.

Precipitation samples are collected monthly from one location and analyzed for gross beta and tritium.

Milk samples are collected monthly from nine locations during the non-grazing season, October through April, and weekly during the grazing season, May 1 through September 30.

Two of the locations are control (D-102 and D-105) and the rest are indicators.

During the non-grazing season, milk samples from all indicator and all control locations are composited separately, and analyzed for iodine-131. If the level of iodine-131 in any of the composites equals or exceeds 2.4 pCi/1, the milk is resampled from each location and analyzed individually for iodine-131.

During the grazing season, milk from five locations within a five mile radius of the DAEC stack is analyzed individually for iodine-131 and l

gamma-emitting isotopes. Milk from two locations within a ten mile radius of the DAEC stack and from two control locations are composited separately and also analyzed for iodine-131 and gamma-emitting isotopes.

If the level of iodine-131 in any of the composites equals or exceeds 2.4 pCi/1, l

the milk is resampled and analyzed individually for iodine-131.

In I

addition, monthly composites of weekly collections from each location are analyzed for strontium-89, strontium-90, and elemental calcium.

For additional monitoring of the terrestrial environment, grain and broad l

leaf natural vegetation samples are collected annually from eleven loca-tions (two controls and nine indicators).

Grain is analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes and broad leaf vegetation is analyzed for iodine-131.

Meat and poultry are collected annually during or immediately following a l

The samples are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

Wildlife, squirrel or rabbit, is collected annually and analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes.

Also, potable ground water is collected at least every two hours from a treated municipal water system (D-53), daily from t

the inlet to the municipal water treatment system (D-54), and monthly from five additional ground water locations.

The samples are composited into monthly and quarterly composites for each location.

Gross beta analysis is performed on all monthly composites.

Gross beta and tritium analyses are performed on all quarterly composites.

Soil samples are collected three times per year at two contrel locations (0-102 and D-105) and eleven indicator locations (D-15, 0-16, D-17, D-58, D-63, D-72, D-93, 0-94, D-96, D-101, and 0-106). The samples are analyzed for strontium-90 and gamma-emitting isotopes.

Surface water is collected monthly from seven river and pond locations, two control (D-49 and D-73) and five indicator (D-50, D-51, D-52,D-99, and D-103).

All monthly samples are gamma scanned.

Gross beta, tritium, strontium-89, and strontium-90 analyses are performed on quarterly composites from locations D-49, D-50, D-51, D-52, and D-99.

The aquatic environment is also monitored by u quarterly collection of aquatic biota (periphyton) pstream and downstream and semi-annual collec-tions of fish, and river sediment.

River sediment is also collected at the plant's intake and discharge.

Fish and aquatic biota are analyzed for gamma-emitting isotopes. River sediment is analyzed for strontium-90 and gamma-emitting isotopes.

(3)

No milk was collected from location D-96 on 5-11-82, because the milk was not available.

(4) No ground (well) water was collected from location D-60 during the period January - June 1982, because the pump was either frozen or inoperational.

(5)

No ground (well) water was collected from location D-59 (Frantz Cottage in January or February 1982 because the well was frozen.

(6) No surface water sample was collected from D-49 in January because access to Location 49 was blocked by snowdrift.

3.4 Laboratory Procedures All strontium-89, strontium-90, and iodine-131 analyses in milk were made by using a sensitive radiochemical procedure which involves separation of the element of interest by use of an ion-exchange resin and subsequent beta countinc.

All gamma-spectroscopic analyses were perfonned with a Ge(Li) detector.

Levels of todine-131 in natural vegetation were determined by Ge(Li) spectrometry.

Levels of airborne iodine-131 in charcoal samples were measured by Ge(Li) spectrometry.

Tritium l evel s were determined by the liquid scintillation technique.

l Analytical Procedures used by the Nuclear Sciences Department of Hazleton Envi ronmental Sciences are specified in detail elsewhere (Hazleton Envi-ronmental Sciences, 1981).

Procedures are based on those perscribed by O

HAZLETON GNVIRONMZNTAL SClHNCZ'3 4.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All of the scheduled collections and analyses were made except those listed in Table 5.6.

All results are summarized in Table 5.7 in a fonnat 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 of all indicator and control locations.

The locations with the highest mean and range are also shown.

The tabulated results of all measurements made in 1982 are not included in this section, although references to these results will be made in the discussion.

The complete tabulation of the 1982 results is contained in Part II of the 1982 annual report on the Environmental Radiological Monitoring Program for the Duane Arnold Energy Center.

4.1 The Effect of Chinese Atmospheric Nuclear Detonation There were no reported atmospheric nuclear tests in 1982.

The last reported test was conducted by the People's Repubiic of China on 16 October 1980.

The reported yield was in the 200 kiloton to 1 megaton

(

range.

There was a moderate effect of this test on the gross beta levels in airborne particulates.

The annual meari gross beta activity was about four times lower in 1982 than in 1981.

The highest mean activity was reached in the month of January and in the first quarter.

By the end of 1982 the activity declined steadily to the level observed in 1980.

4.2 Program Findings A number of program findings reflect effects of the latest Chinese and previous worldwide atmospheric nuclear tests.

The chief environmental indicators of recent test effects were airborne particulates.

The resid-ual effect of previous nuclear tests was detected in some of the milk, vegetation, periphyton, bottom sediments. and soil samples (strontium-90 and cesium-137).

No Plant effect was indicated.

l Airborne Particulates The average annual gross beta activity in airborne particulates was nparly identical at both indicator and control locations (0.026 pCi/m3 and control locations (0.027 pCi/m ) and was about four timas lower than in 3

3 1981 (0.115 pCi/m ).

The decrease in the activity is attributable to Os the cleansing of the atmosphere of the radioactive debris prcduced by the 9

m i

HAZLETON ClNVIRONMZNTAL CCl2NC~l3 fG nuclear test conducted on 16 October 1980. The highest averages for gross C

beta were for the month of January and the first quarter, then decreased gradually to the 1980 level (0.029 pCi/m3) by the end of the year.

The elevated activity in January and the first quarter was due to residual fallout from the nuclear test conducted 16 October 1980. The spring peak, which is usually observed in April - May (second quarter), was somewhat obscured by the elevated activity during the first quarter.

This peak has been observed almost annually (1976, 1979 and 1980 were exceptions) for many years (Wilson et al.,1969).

The spring peak has been attributed to fallout of nuclides from the stratosphere (Gold et al.,

1964).

It was more pronounced in 1981 than in 1982 because of the fresh addition of the radioactive debris fran the latest nuclear test.

Two pieces of evidence indicate conclusively that the elevated observed activity during the first quarter was not attributable to the Plant.

In the first place, elevated activity of similar size occurred simultaneously at both the indicator and control locations.

Secondly, a similar pattern was observed at other nuclear power plant locations in the Midwest.

O Strontium-89 and -90 was detected in composites for the first and second

(

quarters.

The levels measured were identical at both indicator and control locations.

Presence of radiostrontium in airborne particulates i

is attributable to the fallout from the previous and latest nuclear

(

tests.

Trace amounts of cesium-137, cerium-141, and cerium-144 were detected in four composites.

Presence of these isotopes in airborne particulates is also attributable to the fallout from the recent nuclear test.

Except for beryllium-7, which is produced continuously in the upper atoosphere by cosmic-ray interactions (Arnold and Al-Salih, 1955), all other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD levels.

None of the activities detected were attributable to the Plant operation.

Airborne Iodine Airborne iodine-131 results were below the detection limits of 0.006 pCi/m3 for all indicator locations and below 0.01 pC1/m3 for all control l

locations.

I l

Ambient Radiation (TLD's)

The mean monthly doses as measured by the monthly TLDs measured (4.0i0.6)

Q mR/30 days at indicator locations and (3.5i0.5) mR/30 days at control locations.

Annual TLDs, normalized to 30 days. yielded (4.2i0.5) mR/30 10 l

HAZLETON ENVIRONMZNTAL CCENCOO days and (3'.8i0.8) mR/30 days for indicator and control locations, respec-tively.

Since standard deviations wore larger than the differences, the differences are not statistically significant.

No Plant effect was indicated.

Precipitation Gross beta levels varied widely indicating the relationship between the level of activity and amount of rainfall, and ranged from 1.8 to 16.1 pCi/1.

Tritium was below the LLD of 280 pCi/l in all samples.

No Plant effect was indicated.

Milk Iodine-131 results were below the detection limit of 0.4 pCi/l in all samples.

Strontium-89 was below the LLD level of 10 pCi/1 in all samples.

Strontium-90 activity was detected in all samples and was nearly identical at both indicator locations (3.4 pCi/1) and control locations (3.2 pCi/1),

pd ranging from 1.6 pCi/l to 9.7 pCi/1.

Tce activity and range were similar to those observed in 1980 and 1981. Strontium-90 levels in this range are attributable to worldwide fallout from previous atmospheric nuclear tests, and reflect the long half-life (28.64 years) of this isotope.

Cesium-137 results were below the LLD level of 15 pCi/l in all samples.

Cesium-137 is also a long-lived component (with a half-life of 30.2A years) of worldwide fallout and is found in the environment in trace amounts.

The apparent absence of the effect of the latest nuclear test (October 1980) on strontium-90 and cesium-137 results is consistent with the low initial production of these isotopes in nuclear explosions (Eisen-l bud, 1963).

No other gamma-emitting isotopes, except potassium-40, were detected in any milk samples This is consistent with the finding of the National Center for Radiolo ical Health that most radiocontaminants in feed do not find their way nto milk due to the selective metabolism of the cow.

The common exceptions are radioisotopes of patassium, cesium, strontium, barium, and iodine (National Center for Radiological Health, 1968).

Calcium was measured in all samples and ranged from 1.0 g/l to 1.6 g/1, averaging 1.3 9/1.

The measured concentrations of calcium are in agreement with the published national values (National Center for Radio-logical Health, 1968).

l In summary, the milk data for 1982 show no radiological effects of the l

Plant operation, but the presence of strontium-90 in milk samples does l

exhibit a long range residual effect of previous atmospheric nuclear test.

HAZLETON ENVIRONMENTAL SCCNCEJ Ground Water Ground water samples were analyzed mc.ithly for gross beta activity.

Quarterly composites were also analyzed for gross beta and for tritium.

1 The annual mean for gross beta it. monthly measurements was identical to the mean in quarterly measurements (2.8 pCi/1).

The locatial with the highest mean, 5.2 pCi/1, was D-58, Frantz Farm, 0.5 mi distant from DAEC.

The levels were similar to those observed in 1980 and 1981.

Yritium was below the LLD level of 330 pCi/1 in all samples.

There was no indication of a Plant effect.

Meat and Poultry In meat and poultry, naturally-occurring potassium-40 was the only gamma-emitting isotope detected.

All other gamma-emitting isotopes were below their respective LLD's.

Thus, no Plant effect was indicated.

Wildlife In wildlife sample (squirrel), collected on the site, the only gamma-anitting isotope detected was naturally-occurring potassium-40.

The sctivity was 3.61 pCi/g wet weight.

No Plant effect was indicated.

l v getation e

Iodine-131 results in broad leaf vegetation were below the LLD level of 0.070 pCi/g wet weight in all samples.

In corn, strontium-90 activity was below the LLD level of 0.008 pCi/g wet weight in all samples.

In hay, strontium-90 was detected in all samples and was slightly higher at indicator locations (0.24 pCi/g wet weight) than at control locations (0.19 pCi/g wet weight).

In soy beans. strontium-90 was also detected in all samples and was nearly identical at both indicator (0.040 pCi/g wet weight) and control (0.048 pCi/g wet weight) locations.

Presence of strontium-90 in hay and soy beans is attributable to the fallout from nuclear tests.

No Plant effect was indicated.

Except for potassium-40, which was observed in all samples, all other gamma-emitting isotopes were below detection limits in all samples.

No Plant effect was indicated.

Soil Strontium-90 was detected in all soil samples and averaged 0.14 pCi/g for indicator locations and 0.10 pCi/g for control locations.

The difference is not statistically significant.

The predominant gamma-emitting isotope detected was potassium-40.

The 12

measured activity was nearly identical at both indicator and control loca-G tions (15.53 pCi/g dry weight and 14.63 pCi/g dry weight, respectively).

Cesium-137 was detected in all samples and the activity was nearly iden-tical at both the indicator locations (0.50 pCi/g) and the control loca-tions (0.43 pCi/g).

Presence of strontium-90 and cesium-137 in soil is attributable to the fallout from recent (October 1980) and previous nuclear tests in the atmosphere.

No Plant effect was indicated.

Surface Water Mean gross beta activity was slightly higher at indicator locations (4.3 pCi/1) than at the control locations (3.4 pCi/1) and was similar to that observed in 1980 and 1981.

The difference is not statistically signifi-c ant.

Tritium was below LLD level of 330 pCi/l in all samples.

Strontium

-89 and strontium-90 were below the LLD levels of 10 pCi/1 and 2.0 pCi/1, respectively, in all samples.

No gamma-emitting isotopes were detected in any of the samples analyzed.

No Plant effect on surface water was indicated.

Fish All gamma-emitting isotopes, except naturally-occuring potassiu6a-40, in edible portions were below detection limits.

No Plant effect on fish was indicated.

Periphyton Periphyton samples were collected in March, May, August, and November.

Cesium-137 was detected in one control sample (0.69 pCi/g wet weight).

All other gamma-emitting isotopes, except potassium-40, were below detection limits. No Plant effect was indicated.

River Sediments River sediments were collected in May and November and analyzed for strontium-90 and gamma-emitting isotopes.

Strontium-90 results were below the LLD level of 0.025 pCi/g in all samples but one. The detected activ-ity was 0.043 pCi/g dry weight in a Plant intake sample.

Cesium-137 was detected in two samples and was 0.35 pCi/g dry weight and 0.09 pCi/g dry weight, in indicator and control samples, respectively.

The presence of trace amounts of strontium-90 and cesium-137 in some of the samples is A

attributable to the fallout from nuclear tests in the atmosphere.

All b

gamma-emitting isotopes, except potassium-40, were below detection limits in all samples.

HAZLETON CNVMONM2NTAL. CCCNC2:3 Appendix A Crosscheck Program Results.

The Nuclear Sciences Department of Hazleton Environmental Sciences has parti-cipated in interlaboratory comparison (crosscheck) programs since the formula-tion of its quality control program in December 1971.

These programs are operated b agencies which supply environmental-type samples (e.g.,

milk water) ycontaining concentrations of radionuclides known to the issuing or agency but not to participant laboratories.

The purpose of such a program is to provide an independent check on the laboratory's analytical procedures and to alert it to any possible problems.

Participant laboratories measure the concentrations 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.

The results in Table A-1 were obtained through participation in the environ-mental sample crosscheck program for milk and water samples during the period 1

1975 through 1982.

This program has been conducted by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Intercomparison and Calibration Section, Quality Assurance Branch, Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory, Las Vegas, Nevada.

The results in Table A-2 were obtained for thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD's) during the period 1976,1977,1979,1980, and 1981 through participation in the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth International Intercomparison of Environmental Dosimeters under the sponsorships listed in Table A-2.

HAZLETON ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES O

Data Reporting Conventions 1.0.

All activities are decay corrected to collection time.

2.0.

Single Measurements Each single measurement is reported as follows:

l xis where x = value of the measurement; s=2 counting uncertainty (corresponding to the 95% confidence level).

In cases where the activity is' found to be below the lower limit of detection L it is reported as

<L.

where L = is the lower limit of detection based on 4.66o uncertainty for a background sample.

3.0.

Duplicate Analyses 3.1.

Individual results: x1 i si x2 i s2 Reported result:

xis where x = (1/2) (x1 + x2) 2+s2 s = (1/2) s 3.2.

Individual results:

<L1

<L2 Reported result:

<L where L = lower of L1 and L2

_3.3.

Individual results: xis

<L Reported result:

x s if x < L;

<L otherwise O

HAZLETON ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES O

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 deviations of a set of n numbers x1, x2,... xn are defined l

as follows:

i x = fIx EI*~*)2 h

s=

n-1 4.2 Values below the highest lower limit of detection are not included in the average.

4.3 If all of the values in the averaging group are less than the l

highest LLD, the highest LLD is reported.

O 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:

l 4.5.1. If the figure following those to be retained is less than 5, the figure is dropped, and the retained figures are kept i

unchanged. As an example, 11.443 is rounded off to 11.44.

4.5.2 If the figure following those to be retained is greater than 5, the figure is dropped, and the last retained figure is raised by 1.

As an example,11.446' is rounded off to 11.45.

4.5.3. If the figure following those to be retained is 5, and if

'there are no figures ~other than zeros beyond the five, the

~

figure 5 is dropped, and the last-place figure retained is increased by one if it is an odd number or it is kept unchanged if an even number. As an example, 11.435 is rounded off to 11.44, while 11.425 is rounded off to 11.42.
