OPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMEtRAL PROGRAM JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLAtR UNITS 1 AND 2 I. Introduction n e Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, owned and operated by Alabama Power Company (APCo), located in Houston County, Alabama is approximately fif teen miles east of Dothan, Alabarn on the west bank of the Chattahoochee River. Unit 1, a Westinghouse Electric Corporation Pressurized Water Reactor (PPR) with a rated power output of 860 megawatts electrical (me) achieved initial criticality on August 9, 1977. The unit was declared "comercial" on December 1, 1977. Unit No. 2, also a 860 se Westinghouse PWR, achieved initial criticality on May 8, 1981 and was declared
" commercial" on July 30, 1981.
During 1985, Unit No. I was shut down for a scheduled refueling outage from April 6 to May 27. Unit No. 2 was shut down for a scheduled refueling outage from January 5 to March 20.
The sample collection and analysis schedule for the operational off-site radiological environmental monitoring program implemented in May 1977 and as modified on July 1, 1980 with the addition of 14 TLD stations was continued during 1985 for both Units No. 1 and 2.
The program was further modified effective April 1982 to teflect Amendment No. 26 to the Unit 1 Technical Specifications issued March 1, 1982. This program was designed to monitor any radioactivity contribution to the environs from the plant through either the airborne or waterborn pathways. The type of samples monitored, and number and type of sampling stations are shown in Table 1. Indicator sampling stations are located, where practical, at locations where detection of the radiological effects of the plant's operation is thought to be most likely, where the samples collected should provide a significant indication of potential dose to man, and where an adequate comparison of predicted radiological levels might be made with measured levels. % e control stations are placed at locations where radiological levels are not expected to be significantly influenced by plant operation, i.e., at background locations. For some airborne radioactivity samples, community stations are located at the principal population centers between the indicator and the control stations (3-8 miles). These in normal operation could be used, if desired, as additional control stations, and alternatively, as indicator stations in the nearest population centers in the event of a major airborne release of radioactivity from the plant.

II. Radiological Sampling and Ana}ysis A detailed outline of the operational radiological sampling and analysis activities for the off-site environmental program to meet the requirements of the Unit 1 and 2 Technical Specifications is given in Table 2. For each parameter only one sample was collected and one analysis performed to meet the specifications for both Units No. 1 and 2.
The samples were collected by APCo's technical staff except for the in situ High Purity Germanium (HP(Ge)) gamma-ray spectroscopy Eeasurements of soil. The latter was made by staff members of the University of Georgia (UGA), Center for Applied Isotope Studies. All sample analyses were contracted to UGA. The minimum detectable concentration (MDC), specified for the various samples and their respective analyses are given in Table 3.
Sampling difficulties and/or deviations from the sampling schedule during 1985 are listed in Table 5.
A. Airborne Particulates and Iodine All airborne particulate and iodine monitoring stations shown in Figu:a 3.12-1 through 3.12-3 were equipped with Roots vacuum pumps ich operated continuously at a flow rate of approximately 0.04 wp/
m min (1.5ft,/ min). The particulates were collected on Gelman Metricel 47mm (or equivalent) filters. In series with, but downstream of the particulate filters, F&J 50 mm (or equivalent) activated charcoal cartridges were used for collection of iodine.
The Roots system has the sample collector mounted outside of the cabinet horizontally to the ground with a Singer gas meter measuring the cumulative air flow. The gas meters were calibrated against a certified flow meter. Both the particulate filters and charcoal cartridges were collected weekly and sent to UGA for radioactivity analysis.
Gross beta radioactivity measurements were performed on each air particulate filter using a Tennelee low background alpha-beta counting system. The filters from each station, composited at the end of each quarter, were analyzed for gamma emitters using a fifteen percent relative efficiency low background Germanium Lithium (Ge(Li)) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based multichannel analyzer (MCA).
All air monitoring station locations shown in Figures 3.12-1 through 3.12-3 have the capability of monitoring airborne iodine. Weekly routine samples were analyzed for I-131 by UGA using a Canberra 1024 channel MCA and two 1" x 3" NaI detectors and matched photomultiplier tubes.
2
B. External Radiation For the continuous measurement of environmental gamma radiation, natural Lithium Fluoride (LiF) (TLD-700) chips, manufactured by Harshaw-Filtrol Chemical Company, were used.
TLD packets each containing four annealed LiF chips were sealed in opaque mylar to produce a packet that was light-tight, weather-proof, and which radiation (approximately had a l p). mass 50mg/cm attenuation On the forall TLD plant site, packets were kept in a lead safe with 2-inch walls except for those receiving field exposure or those in the process of being exchanged.
At each external radiation monitoring station, shown in Figures 3.12-1, 3.12-2, and 3.12-3, two TLD packets, one changed and read quarterly and one changed and read annually, were exposed side-by-side on metal stakes at a height of one meter above the ground. For the computation of the net field doses, a log of all exposure periods was maintained for each TLD packet.
C. Milk An indicator milk supply was located outside Ashford, AL., four '
miles from the plant in sector 9. The supply consisted of 1 milk cow owned by Mr. Carl Tollar. This location was added to the milk sampling schedule from July 29 until September 12 when FNP was notified that milking had been terminated. The background sample location remained as indicated on Figure 3.12-3.
All milk samples, collected bi-weekly, were analyzed by UGA for I-131 and gamma emitters. As a preservative for shipment, 1 ml of 25 weight percent merthiolate (Thimerasol) solution was added to each one gallon sample. The I-131 concentration in each sample was determined by collection on anion exchange resin, elution with sodium hypochlorite, followed by organic extraction and counting, by beta-gamma coincidence, the resultant toluene-iodine solution in a low level liquid scintillation counter. Stable iodine carrier was added to each sample for determination of the radiochemical yield.
A one liter quantity of each sample was placed in a marinelli beaker and then analyzed for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.
D. Vegetation: Forage Monthly, forage was collected from indicator grass plots located near the air monitoring stations at the plant site perimeter in sectors 7 (SSE) and 16 (N), or alternate plots if 3
needed, and from a control grass plot located near the air monitoring station in Dothan. After drying and pulverizing, the samples were analyzed by UGA for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.
E. Soil _
Annual in situ gam:u-ray spectroscopy measurements were made by UGA usiE~g 3 T0 percent relative efficiency high purity germanium detector and gamma-ray spectroscopy system specially designed for field use. Measurements were taken at the 7 indicator locations and at the 5 community and control (background) locations listed in Table 2. A 1024 channel Canberra MCA interfaced to a Hewlett-Packard 9825A calculator was used for data storage and analysis.
F. Surface Water: River Water Sarples of water from the Chattahoochee River, above and below the plant site at the locations shown in Figure 3.12-4 were collected on a semi-continuous basis with Instrumentation Specialties Company (ISCO) samplers. Monthly composites were sent to UGA for radioactivity analysis. Two liter aliquots from each monthly composite were placed in trays lined with plastic film and evaporated to dryness at 100 C. The residue and plastic film was folded to fit a petri-dish and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency Ge(Li) low background detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.
At the end of each quarter, for each sampling location, the balance of the three monthly composites were combined to give a quarterly composite sample. Approximately 50 ml from each quarterly composite sample was distilled and a 25 ml aliquot taken for tritium analysis using a large volume (100 ml) low background liquid scintillation counter.
G. Groundwater: Well Water In the Farley Plant area there are no true indicator sources of groundwater. A well which serves Great Southern Paper Company as a source of potable water, located on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River about four miles south-southeast of the plant, was sampled on a quarterly basis and designated as an indicator station. A deep well which supplies water to the Nhatley residence located about 1.2 miles southwest of the plant was sampled on a quarterly basis and designated as a control (background) station. Samples from both were sent to 4
UGA for radioactivity analysis. An aliquot from each sample was taken for tritium analysis. After di.stillation, 25 m1 samples were analyzed using a large volume (100 ml) low background liquid scintillation counter. From the remainder of each sample, a two liter aliquot was taken and evaporated to dryness at 100'C in a tray lined with plastic film. The residue and film was folded to fit a petri dish and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.
H. Fish: River Semi-annually, two types of fish, game and bottom feeding, were collected from the Chattahoochee River at the locations shown in Figure 3.12-4, and sent to UGA for gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis. The first semi-annual fish samples sent to UGA were whole fish from which the edible tissue was removed and coarsely chopped. The second semi-annual fish samples sent to UGA consisted of fish fillets that had been split with Alabama Bureau of Radiological Health. These fish samples were coarsely chopped at UGA. Both the first and second semi-annual samples were analyzed for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and 4096 channel Canberra computer-based MCA.
I. Sediment: River Semi-annually, sediment samples were collected from the Chattahoochee River at the locations shown in Figure 3.12-4.
Approximately one kg of sample was sent to UGA where it was dried, mixed, and analyzed for gamma emitters using a 15 percent relative efficiency low background Ge(Li) detector and a Canberra 4096 channel computer-based MCA.
III. Results and Discussion During the operational period, no known atmospheric nuclear tests were conducted. Identifiable radioactivity effects from the last test conducted by the Peoples Republic of China on October 16, 1980 were essentially non-existent during 1985.
For measurements involving radioactivity concentrations by volume or mass the designation minimum detectable concentration (MDC) is defined in Table 3.
For measurements involving a quantity of radioactivity or radiation that is independent of the sample volume or mass the designation
" lower limit of detection" (LLD) is used to denote the limit of detection applicable at the 95 percent confidence level. The LLD is defined as "the smallest amounts of sample activity that will yield a net count for which there is confidence at a predetermined 5
i
P level that activity is present". Its' application is limited to measurement systems which denote a limiting detection capability without respect to the size of sample and/or radiochemical yield and to measurments which by their nature do not involve concentrations, e.g. radiation dose rates (mrad /hr., mrad /qtr.,
etc.)
A. Airborne Particulates and Iodine The results of the radioactivity analyses of airborne particulate filters and iodine charcoal cartridges are shown in Table F09-1. The mean gross beta activity value for the indicator sampling locations was lower than the community and control sampling locations. 'Ihe mean gross beta values for all sampling locations was slightly lower than the respective
,i 1984 values and lower by a factor of eight when compared to preoperational values.
The gama-ray spectroscopy data for the air particulate filter composites showed traces, slignt.ly above the MDC, of Cs-134 in indicator and comunity samples. The 1985 Cs-134 indicator value was lower than the preoperational value and equal to the 1984 value. Cs-134 was not detected in the 1984 community samples, however the 1985 Cs-134 community value was lower than the preoperational value. Also, Cs-137 was observed at the MDC level at all sampling locations. All the 1985 Cs-137 values were lower than the respective preoperational and 1984 values. All Iodine-131 values were below the measured MDC as was found in 1984 and also during the preoperational period.
B. External Radiation i
'Ihe results of the external radiation measurements using TLD packets, each containing four Lir chips, are shown in Table FO9-2. As found during the preoperational measurement period and during 1984, the data reflects the differences in site specific soil radioactivity. All locations' averages were slightly higher than found in 1984, and higher than the averages found during the preoperational period. However, no deviate trends can be concluded since the data for 1985 is comparable to that recorded in 1983. Also observed in 1985, as in 1984, the sums for the four quarterly measurements were higher than the averages for the annual TLDs. However, during the preoperational period it was found that the average values for the annual TLDs was slightly higher than the restactive sums of the four quarterly measurements.
C. Milk The results from the radioactivity analyses of milk are shown in Table FO9-3. Milk from the Brooks-Silcox Dairy was sampled l

- 4 as the centrol. An indicator milk location was sampled for the months of July - September. Only naturally occurring radioactive isotopes were detected in both the indicator and '
control samples.
4 1
D. Vegetation Forage was the only vegetation sampled during this operational -
period. The radioactivity analysis results are shown in Table 4
FO9-4.
Forage, as during the preoperational period, continued to be a very effective and sensitive indicator of airborne .
radioactivity. The specific activity values for the various
, gamma emitting radionuclides at indicator locations were not 1
significantly different from the control locations. Traces of Cs-134 and Cs-137 were found in some samples. However, the data for 1985 indicated fewer fission product radionuclides than the data for the preoperational period. The Cs-134 levels for 1985 were slightly higher than the 1984 period.
W e Cs-137 levels for 1985 were slightly higher than the 1984
% period but lower than the preoperational period.
E. Soil The results of the in situ HP(Ge) gamma-ray spectroscopy analysis of soil during this operational period are shown in Table F09-5. 2e only man-made radioactivity found in all measurements was Cs-137. During the preoperational period, the fission products Zr-95, Nb-95 and Cs-134 were seen at most of the locations in addition to Cs-137. We 1985 levels of Cs-137 were approximately the same as the 1984 period and lower than the preoperational period.
F. Waterborne: Surface and Ground Water The results of radioactivity analysis of surface and ground water are shown in Table F09-6. Traces of Cs-134 and Cs-137 were found in a few river water control and indicator samples.
The Cs-137 indicator value was not significantly different from the control value. These cesium values were also similar to those observed in 1984 and lower than the values observed during the preoperational period. The average surface water indicator tritium level was higher than the control sample, higher than that observed in 1984 and during the preoperational period as well.
4 Traces of Cs-134 and Cs-137 were found in a few ground water control and indicator samples. The levels were similar to those observed in 1984. All ground water indicator and control sample tritium levels were less than the MDC values.

G. Sediment: ' River he results of radioactivity analysis of sediment samples from the Chattahoochee River are shown in Table EV9-7. We only manmade radioactivity found, Cs-137, was in one control sample.
H. Fish: River he results of gama-ray spectroscopy analysis of the edible
, portions of fish taken from the Chattahoochee River are shown in Table F09-8. Cs-137 was found at low levels in both the indicator and control samples of game fish. he average indicator Cs-137 value was found to be higher than 1984 data and approximately the same as preoperational data. The control Cs-137 value was found to be higher than the 1984 data and lower than preoperational levels.
IV. Land Use Cenus and Interlaboratory Comparison Program A. Land Use Census The results of the July 1985 Land Use Census are given in Attachment 1 to this report.
' B. Interlaboratory Comparison Program During 1985, the University of Georgia Center for Applied Isotope Studies (UGA) was a participant in the EPA Crosscheck ,
Program. The UGA EPA Program code designation is EA. Although '
Farley Nuclear Plant (EWP) also participates in the EPA Crosscheck Program under code designation FU, none of the environmental analyses reported herein were performed by FNP.
V. Data Trends and Conclusion A review of the 1985 environmental data indicated some minor changes in the parameters monitored when compared to previous data.
Slight increases were observed for the tritium levels in river
- water and in the external gama radiation exposure levels. However the review also indicated either no change or decreases in numerous parameters, e.g., air particulate, milk, vegetation, soil, water, sediment and fish. In conclusion, no significant trends indicating changes in the radioactivity levels in the environs of Farley Nuclear Plant as a result of its operation were observed.

TABLE 3 (con'd)
'The MDC is the smallest concentration of radioactive material in a sample that will be detected with 95% probability with 5% probability of falsely concluding that a blank observation represents a "real" signal.
For a particular measu:ement system (which may include radiochemical separation):
MDC = 4.66 S, E V 2.22 Y exp (-Aot) htere:
MDC is the "a priori" lower limit of detection as defined above (as picoeurie per unit mass or volume).
S is the standard deviation of the background counting rate or oI the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute).
E is the counting efficiency (as counts per transformation).
V is the sample size (in units of mass or volume).
2.22 is the number of transformations per minute per picocurie.
Y is the fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable).
A is the radioactive decay constant for the particular radionuclide.
at is the elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting (for environmental samples, not plant effluent samples).
The value of S, used in the calculation of the MDC for a detection system shall be based on the actual observed variance of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of the blank samples (as appropriate) rather than on an unverified theoretically predicted variance. In calculating the MDC for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background shall include the typical contributions of other radionuclides normally present in the samples (e.g., Potassium-40 in milk samples). Typical values of E, V, Y and at shall be used in the calculations.
'The MDC's for Tritium, Gross beta, and Radiciodine were obtained using blank background (A Priori), whereas, for gamma-ray spectroscopy actual sample backgrounds were used (A Posteriori).

ATTACHMENT 1 1985 LAND USE SURVEY FOR RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM ~
JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT JULY 23 TO JULY 30, 1985 This Land Use Survey was performed to meet the requirements of the Farley Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications, Sections 3.12.2 and 4.12.2.
A. Houston County, Alabama Mr. A. M. Mathews, Houston County Extension Agent, was contacted for the purpose of reviewing known locations of milk animals in the county. Mr. Mathews stated he was not aware of any changes since the last milk animal survey (July 1984).
A house-to-house canvas of residents along Alabama 95 for a distance of three miles from the plant entrance revealed a possible = ilk source. Further investigation revealed that Mr. Carl Tollar, in sector nine approximately four miles from the PVS, had one milk cow that supplied his family with milk.
The canvas also was conducted for a mile west on Houston County 42 and along the interconnecting ligh-duty roads.
No other milk animals were located. Individuals contacted along this canvas were Walter Whatley, Maurice Gilbert, Lula Mae McGriff and Carl Tollar.
Simultaneous with the milk animal canvas, the nearest residence in each meteorological sectors was identified.
B. Early County, Georgia Mr. Micky Fouracres, Early County Extension Agent, was contacted to determine if any milk animals were currently present in the county. He stated he was not aware of any milk animals in the county.
A house-to-house canvas of residents in the area across the Chattahoochee River east of the plant was negative with respect to the presence of milk animals. Mr. Walter Mills in Cedar Springs, Ga. who had previously owned a milk animal had moved out of the county. Individuals contacted along the river were Tony Knighton and Jim Donaldson.
Simultaneous with the house-to-house milk animal canvas, the nearest residence in each meteorological sector was identified.
