and ASU personnel and analyzed'by CEP and ASV during 1987.

In order to determine radiation levels in the environment around the PVNGS, the following types of samples were collected: animal vegetation, human vegetation (including fruits and vegetables), fresh milk, groundwater, drinking water, surface water, airborne particulate and radioiodine. TLD's are utilized for determining environmental direct radiation levels.

Analytical results are presented and discussed along with other pertinent information.

Possible trends and anomalous results, as interpreted by CEP are also discussed.

On 3uly 1, 1987, Arizona State University assumed responsibility for all environmental analyses with the exception of airborne particulate and radioiodine samples. Results P

presented are a compilation of CEP and ASU data for the year. CEP data will be indicated by the letter (a) and ASU data will be indicated by the letter (b) throughout this report.

ARIZONA NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION OPERATIONAL RADIOLOGICALMONITORING PROGRAM 0

1.0 Introduction (CEP)

This report presents results of the operational environmental radiological monitoring program conducted during 1987 by Controls for Environmental Pollution, Inc. (CEP) and Arizona State University (ASU) for Arizona Nuclear Power Project (ANPP), Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS).

In compliance with federal requirements to provide a complete environmental monitoring program for nuclear reactors, and in its concern for maintaining the quality of the local environment, ANPP began its pre-operational environmental monitoring program in 1979. The program complies with the requirements of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in their Reactor Assessment Branch Technical Positi Revision 1, November, 1979. On May 25, 1985 PVNGS Unit One became operational.

The objectives of the operational radiological environmental monitoring program are as follows: 1) to determine radiation levels in the environs during reactor operations;

2) to monitor potential critical pathways of radioeffluent to man; 3) to determine radiological impact on the environment caused by the operation of PVNGS.

A number of techniques are used to distinguish power plant effects from other sources during the operational phase, including application of established background levels.

Operational radiation levels measured in the vicinity of ANPP are compared with the pre-operational measurements 'at each of the sampling locations. Results of the monitoring program help to evaluate sources of elevated levels of radiation in tl environment, e.g., atmospheric nuclear detonation or abnormal plant releases.-

1.3 Introduction (ASU)

In the spring of 1983, the Arizona State University (ASU) Radiation Measurements Facility (RMF) implemented a long-term independent radiological environmental assesment program for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS).

In July, 1987 the RMF was certified as a vendor by the PVNGS Quality Assurance Department and assumed responsibility for many of the environmental assessments performed in support of the nuclear power station. The data presented in this report were obtained from samples collected by, PVNGS.or RMF personnel during the calendar year 1987 and analyzed by RMF personnel in RMF complex.

The assessment program consists of routine measurements of background gamma radiation and of radionuclide concentrations in media such as air, ground water, drinking water, surface water, fresh milk and soil.

Monthly milk samples were collected from six sites until September 1987 when one dairy ceased operation. Five samples were collected thereafter.

samples are assayed for iodine and gamma isotopic.

Weekly water samples are collected routinely from three sites. Monthly samples are collected from three residence wells and quarterly samples are obtained from two on-site wells. Samples are assayed for iodine-131, strontium-89, strontium-90, gross alpha, gross beta, tritium and/or gamma isotopic.

Four RMF staff members are trained and certified by PVNGS to perform routine sampling of air, surface and ground water, and milk. Three staff members are certified by PVNGS for collection of thermoluminescent dosimeters.

2.0 Descri tionof the Monitorin Pro ram 0

ANPP has contracted with CEP and ASU to determine the ambient radiation levels in the environment around PVNGS during its operation.

The types. of environmental samples collected include: animal vegetation, human vegetation (produce and citrus fruits), groundwater, drinking water, surface .water, fresh milk, airborne particulates, and radioiodine. The TLD network is managed by ANPP personnel. TLD evaluations are conducted by the PVNGS Dosimetry Group.

The locations of the monitoring sites are shown in Figure I. The monitoring sites and the respective sample types collec'ted are described in Table I. Table II describes the sample collection frequency. Information concerning new sample types, locations, and collection frequency are included in these tables where applicable.

~ Anal tical Procedures (CEP)

The analytical procedures discussed in this report are those routinely used by CEP to analyze samples.

3.1 Fresh Milk 3.1.1 Iodine-131 Two liters of milk containing standardized Iodine carrier are stirred with Amberlite IRA-000 anion exchange resin for one hour. The Iodine is stripped from the resin with sodium perchlorate (NaC IO<) and precipitated with silver nitrate (AgNO3). The precipitate is filtered on a tared glass fiber filter. The dried precipitate is weighed for percent recovery and counted for Iodine-131 in a thin window, gas flow, proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770). These instruments have a forty-one percent efficiency and a forty-five percent, respectively using Iodine-131 precipitated as silver iodide (AgI).

3.1.2 Strontium-89 The Strontium is precipitated with concentrated fuming nitric acid, redissolved in water, made basic with dilute ammonium hydroxide and precipitated as the oxalate. The dried oxalate precipitate is counted in a low background proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770) having sixty percent and forty-five percent Strontium-Yttrium-90 efficiencies, respectively. The Strontium-89 activity is determined by subtracting the previously measured Strontium-90 activity and its corresponding Yttrium-90 ingrowth from the measured gross Strontium activity.

3.1.3 Strontium-90 An aliquot of milk containing standardized Strontium and Yttrium carriers, is stirred with Dowex 50WX8 cation exchange resin at a pH of

six for thirty minutes. All nuclides are stripped from the resin wit strong acid. After the ingrowth period has been established, tl Yttrium-90 is extracted with five percent di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in toluene, back extracted into an aqueous phase, precipitated as the oxalate and counted in a low background internal gas flow proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770) to determine the Strontium-90 content of the sample. These systems have Strontium-Yttrium-90 efficiency of sixty percent and forty-five percent, respectively.

3.1.0 Gamma S ctrometr A suitable aliquot of sample is placed in a Marinelli beaker and counted with a multi-channel analyzer equipped with an intrinsic Cermanium detector which is coupled to a 0096 channel, computer based, multi-,

channel analyzer (Northern Scientific TN0500). The resulting spectru is analyzed by the computer, and specific nuclides, if present, identified and quantified.

3.2, ~Ve etation 3.2.1 Gamma S ectrometr Refer to Milk Subsection 3.18.

3.2.2 Iodine-131 Required on leafy vegetation only. After appropriate preparation of the sample, analysis is performed as discussed in Subsection 3.1.0.

3.3 Groundwater and Drinkin Water 3.3.1 Gross Al ha and Beta A 1.0 liter aliquot of water is evaporated to dryness and transferred to a weighed planchet. The Gross Alpha and Cross Beta radioactivity i measured by counting the planchet in an internal gas flow, simultaneous

proportional, low background counter (Beckman Wide Beta II or Berthold LB770), or by counting the planchet in a low background simultaneous counter (Tennelec LB5100).

3.3.2 Gamma S ctrometr Refer to Milk Subsection 3.1.0.

3.3.3 Strontium-90 A 1.0 liter aliquot of the sample containing standardized stable Strontium carrier is evaporated to dryness and wet ashed with concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H202). The Yttrium-90 is extracted with five percent Di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) in toluene after the ingrowth period has been established, back extracted into an aqueous phase, precipitated as the oxalate and counted with an integral gas flow proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770) having a Strontium, Yttrium-90 efficiencies of sixty percent and forty-five percent, respectively. The counting results are back calculated to give Strontium-90 activity.

3.3A Tritium Three milliliters of the water sample are mixed with Packard Opti-flour cocktail. The mixture used is nineteen percent sample in a non-organic cocktail. This gives a Tritium counting efficiency of approximately thirty percent. The counting system used is a Beckman LS-5801 Liquid Scintillation Counter.

3.0 Surface Water 3A.I Iodine-131 One liter of water containing standardized Iodine carrier is acidified with nitric acid (HNO3), then extracted with carbon tetrachloride (CClq) and sodium nitrite (NaNO2) to remove the Iodine. The Iodine is back

extracted from the carbon tetrachloride (CClq) using a 0.2% hydrazin solution which supplies more purification and an aqueous media f precipitation. Iodine is precipitated with silver nitrate (AgNO3) and filtered on a tared glass fiber filter as silver iodide (Agl). The dried precipitate is weighed for recovery and counted for Iodine-131 in a thin window, gas flow, proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770) having forty-one percent and forty-five percent efficienies, respectively for Iodine-131 precipitated as silver iodide (Agl).

3A.2 Gross Al ha and Beta An aliquot of the monthly composite is taken and analyzed according to Ground and Drinking IVater Subsection 3.3.

3.0.3 Gamma S ctrometr An aliquot of the monthly Milk Subsection 3.1.0.

3.0.0 Strontium-89 An aliquot of the monthly composite is taken and analyzed according to Milk Subsection 3.1.2.

3.0.5 Strontium-90 An aliquot of the monthly composite is taken and analyzed according to Groundwater and Drinking 'iVater Subsection 3.3.3.

3.0.6 Tritium An aliquot is taken and analyzed according to Ground and Drinking 5Vater Subsection 3.3A.

3.5 Air Particulate 3.5.1 Gross Al ha and Beta The Sartorius filter (cellulose nitrate filter with a 3 micron pore size), i placed in a 50 mm stainless steel planchet and counted for Gross Alpha

and Gross Beta radioactivity using a low background internal gas flow, simultaneous proportional counter (Beckman Wide Beta II), or by using a low background. simultaneous counter (Tennelec LB5100).

3.5.2 Gamma S ctrometr The air filters are sealed in small, plastic Marinelli beakers and counted utilizing the method described in Milk Subsection 3.1.0.

3.6 Airborne Radioiodine Two analytical methods for airborne radioiodine are used by CEP depending upon the length of time between the sample collection date and the date of sample receipt at CEP. The sensitivity of the Gamma Spectrometry Method decreases significantly after an Iodine-131 decay of greater than one half-life (8.00 days).

Therefore, if more than one week has elapsed between sample collection and analysis of the sample the Alkaline Leach Method provides a greater sensitivity and is thus the analytical method of choice.

3.6.1 Alkaline Leach Method Radioiodine is removed frorrl activated charcoal along with a standardized iodine carrier using concentrated ammonium hydroxide (NHqOH) and hydrogen peroxide (H202). The charcoal is filtered and the remaining solution is acidified with nitric acid (HNO3) and extracted with carbon tetrachloride (CClq). A 0.2% hydrazine solution supplies further purification and an aqueous media for precipitation. Iodine is precipitated with silver nitrate and filtered on a tared glass fiber filter as silver iodide (AgI). The dried precipitate is weighed for recovery and counted for Iodine-131 in a thin window, gas flow, proportional counter (Beckman Low Beta II or Berthold LB770) having forty-one percent and forty-five percent efficiencies, respectively for Iodine-131 precipitated as silver iodide (Agl).

3.6e2 Gamma S ectrometr Method The direct gamma counting method for Iodine-131 consists of placing charcoal canister directly on an intrinsic germanium detector and analyzing the resulting spectrum for Iodine-131 using the computer based Nuclear Data Model ND9900 System. The system is calibrated using charcoal filters which have been uniformly loaded (in the first 5 mm) with standardized isotopes traceable to NBS and calibration verification is performed by analyzing a charcoal filter which has been uniformly loaded (in the first 5 mm) with standardized Iodine-131 traceable to NBS.

Deposition of activity in the first 5 mm of the filters is done to simulate actual sample loading and both standards and samples are placed on the detector so that the load gradient is decreasing with distance from the detector.

3.7 Anal tical Procedures (ASU) 3.7.1 Gamma S ectrosco 0 All gamma detectors are energy calibrated weekly. Efficiency calibrations are done annually using triplicate aliquots of mixed gamma emitting solution whose activity is explicitly traceable to the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).

Water Two liters of samples is evaporated to 500 ml and counted in a Marinelli beaker.

Milk Milk cannot be concentrated conveniently and is counted, as received, in a Marinelli beaker.

Urine Urine is diluted to either 60 ml or 500 ml, depending on the amount o sample available, and is counted in the appropriate geometry.

Soil Animal Feeds "Five hundred milliliters" of these samples are counted in Marinelli beakers. The Marinelli beaker geometry is volume, but the sample size is grams or kilograms. Therefore sufficient material is uniformly packed into a volume of 500 ml to give and apparent density of 1.0 to 1.1.

3.7e2 Iodine-131 Milkand Water Iodine is sorbed onto Dowex 1-X8 resin, stripped with hypochlorite, extracted into chloroform, stripped, precipitated as Pdl2, and counted in a low background gas-flow proportional counter.

Charcoal Charcoal cartridges are counted an a Ce(Li) detector whose efficiency is determined by a standard cartridge spiked with NBS traceable mixed gamma emitter. The activity is loaded onto the first 10% of the charcoal, and the cartridge is turned over halfway. through the count.

3.7.3 Strontium-89 and 90 Milk Radiostrontium and added carrier are sorbed onto Dowex 50W-X8 and stripped with nitric acid. Calcium is separated by repeated extractions with fuming nitric acid. The Yttrium-90 daughter is separated and counted to determine Strontium-90. Strontium-89 is determined by counting Strontium-89 and Strontium-90 before Yttrium-90 ingrowth and sub tracting S trontium-90.

Water Radiostrontium and added carrier are precipitated from the sample as the carbonate. The remainder of the procedure follows that for milk, beginning with nitric acid separations.

IVater samples are distilled from alkaline permanganate and counted in a liquid scintillation counter.

Urine Urine is not distilled. A 3 ml aliquot is added to the scintillant and counted in the liquid scintillation counter. Quench correction factors are made automatically by the instrument so that the correct counting efficiency is determined. A new method, developed by the RMF for determining the ef fects of quenching on the background, will be implemented in 3anuary 1988. Since the background changes the quench, this technique permits the "true" background to be calculated.

0.0 Sam le Pre aration Methods The following sample preparation methods are routinely used by CEP.

0.1 Ve etation Sam le Pre aration

1. The plastic bags are opened and the sample weighed immediately to obtain the wet weight.

3. After weighing, the sample is transferred to a drying pan and placed in an oven at 110 C.

0. The dry sample is ground to a fine powder and homogenized.

5. The sample is then dissolved or ashed, whichever is required for further isotopic analysis.

0.2 Milk Iodine carrier (Potassium Iodide), formalin and sodium bisulfate are added when the milk is collected to stabilize the Iodine-131 during shipment of samples t CEP. The procedure for Fresh Milk is then followed as described in Section 3.l, of this report.

5.0 Nuclear Instrumentation (CEP) 5.1 Nuclear Data Genie Model ND9900 Gamma S ectrometer The Nuclear Data Gamma Spectrometer Model ND9900 is a fully integrated multiple user, data acquisition, display and processing system equipped with a DEC Micro VAX II computer, along with an auxiliary power battery pack to ensure no loss of data.

5.7 Low Back round Al ha Gas Flow S stems The Gross Alpha Counting Systems consist of two windowless gas flow detectors manufactured by Nuclear Measurements Corporation with an Alpha efficiency of 5.8 55% with a background of less than 0.1 cpm.

Low Back round Scintillation Counter e

The Low Background Scintillation Counter consists of a Zinc Sulfide screen. The system has an average Alpha of 0.1 cpm.

5.9 Tennelec LB5100 S stem The Tennelec LB5100 System has a Two-inch Planchet Counting System and has an average of 2 cpm Beta background and 0.1 cpm Alpha background. This system has been designed for simultaneous Alpha and Beta counting. The sample capacity is fiftysamples.

5.10 Low Level Planchet Countin S stems (2)

Each Berthold 10-Channel Low Level Planchet Counting System (Model LB700) is capable of simultaneously counting 10 planchets for Gross Alpha and Gross Beta activities alternately with Proportional Gas Flow Detectors. The systems hav an average background count rate of less than 1 count per minute. The

instruments have an Alpha efficiency of 33% for Plutonium-239 and Beta efficiences of 05% for Strontium, Yttrium-90 and 03% for Cesium-137.

5.11 Detectors and E ui ment (ASU)

Gamma spectra are analyzed by a Canberra Series 95 Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) using a microVax computer. Four detectors are available:

1. PGT Ge(Li), 26% efficiency, 1.90 keV FWHM Q 1332.5 keV

2. Canberra Ge(Li), 10% efficiency, 2.08 keV FWHM

3. ORTEC HPGe, 13% efficiency, 1.98 keV FWHM

0. Canberra HPGe, 28% efficiency, 3.96 keV FWHM t

Two Tennelec LB-5100 low background proportional counters are used for alpha and beta counting. One of the systems has been interfaced to a personal computer and is completely automatic. Sample results and background counts are stored on disk. In addition, the computer is able to automatically produce control charts for background or check source counts and averages background data. Plateaus are automatically determined also. The second Tennelec system will be interfaced to a personal computer as soon as the computer and RMF designed electronics are available.

Alpha spectroscopy is available from either of two solid state silicon surface barrier detectors which are-interfaced to the Series 95 MCA.

Liquid scintillation counting is done on one of two Beckman LS-1801 Liquid scintillation spectrometers. The RMF has improved the automatic quench compensation feature through a modification which adds a quench correction for background.

6.0 Isoto ic Detection Limits and Activit Determinations (CEP)

Analytical detection limits are governed by a number of factors including:

The sample size taken is based on the numerical data one wishes to obtain which can describe a particular situation and can be interpreted as a basis for possible action. The sample size has to be representative and provide for accurate analysis or the entire process is invalid (Table III).

6.2 Countin Efficienc The fundamental quality in the measurement of a radioactive substance is the number of disintegrations per unit time. As with most physical measurements in analytical chemistry, it is seldom possible to make an absolute measurement of the disintegration rate but rather it is necessary to compare the sample with one or more standards. The standards determine the counter efficiency which may then be used to convert sample counts per minute (cpm) to disintegrations p minute (dpm).

6.3 Back round Count Rate Any counter will show a certain counting rate without a sample in position. This background counting rate comes from several sources: l) natural environmental radiation from the surroundings; 2) cosmic radiation; and 3) the natural radioactivity in the counter material itself. The background counting rate will depend on the amount of these types of radiation and the sensitivity of the counter to the radiation.

6.0 Back round and Sam le Countin Time The amount of time devoted to counting background depends on the level of activity being measured. In general, with low level samples, this time should be about equal to that devoted to counting a sample (Table IV).

6.5 Time Interval Between Sam le Collection and Countin Decay measurements are useful in identifying certain short-lived isotopes. The disintegration constant, or its related quantity, the half-life, is one of the basic characteristics of a specific radionuclide and is readily determined if the half-life is sufficiently short.

6.6 Chemical Recover of the Anal cal Procedures Most radiochemical analyses are carried out in such a way that losses occur during the separations. These losses occur due to a large number of contaminants that may be present and interfere during chemical separations.

Thus it is necessary to include a technique for estimating these losses in the development of the analytical procedure.

The Lower Limits of detection are calculated using the following formula:

LLD = 0.66 sb E ~

V 2.22 Y ~

exp (- >~ t)

WHERE:

LLD "A priori" lower limit of detection as defined above (as pCi per unit mass or volume).

sb Standard deviation of the background counting rate or of the counting rate of a blank sample as appropriate (as counts per minute).

Counting efficiency (as counts per disintegration).

V Sample size (in units of mass or volume).

2.22 = Number of disintegrations per minute per picocurie.

Fractional radiochemical yield (when applicable).

Radioactive decay constant for the particular radioisotope.

bt Elapsed time between sample collection (or end of the sample collection period) and time of counting.

The value of sb*used in the calculation of the LLD for a particular measureme system is based on the actual observed variance of the background counting ra or, of the counting rate of the blank sample, {as appropriate), rather than on an unverified theoretically predicated variance.

In calculating the LLD for a radionuclide determined by gamma-ray spectrometry, the background included the typical contributions of other nuclides normally present in the samples.

The activities per. unit sample mass or volume are determined using the following formula:

C+B T2 C-B 1.96 (2,22) (V) (R) (E) (e- X t) (2 22) (V) (R) (E) (e- X t)

WHERE:

Activity as pCi per units sample mass or volume.

Sample count rate in counts per minute.

Background counts per minute.

Sample volume or mass analyzed.

Counter efficiency as cpm/dpm.

2.22 Numerical constant to convert disintegrations per minute to picocuries.

(e Xt) Decay factor to correct the activity to time of collection.

Counting time in minutes.

1.96 Statistical constant for the 95% confidence level.

Chemical recovery or photon yield.

6.7 Lower Levels of Detection (ASU)

The lower limits of detection (LLD) and the methods for calculation are specified in Table 2 of Section 7.2, Appendix B, of the agreement between th Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and the ASU Radiation Measurements Facility (RMF) (PV80-10153 revised 2/2/87).

The actual value of an LLD is dependent on many factors including, l) sample size and concentration, 2) counting time, 3) detector efficiency and inherent backgrounds, 0) chemical recovery, 5) self absorption, 6) quenching, and 7) the time delay between sample collection and counting. Therefore, it is very difficult to present specific, meaningful LLD values.

The RMF meets or exceeds all the LLDs specified in the agreement. In many instances, the actual LLDs are considerably lower than required.

7.0 ualit Control Pro ram (CEP)

CEP employs a multi-faceted Quality Control Program designed to maintain high performance of its laboratory. The overall objectives of the program are to:

l. Verify that work procedures are adequate to meet specifications of ANPP.

2. Coordinate an in-house quality control program independent of external programs, to assure that CEP is operating at maximum efficiency.

Objectives are met by a variety of procedures that oversee areas of sample receipt and handling, analysis and data review. These procedures include standard operating procedures, known and unknown spike analysis, blank analysis, reagent, carrier and nuclide standardization as well as participation in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Interlaboratory Cross-check Program. (See Appendix A for EPA Radiological Cross-check results).

7.1 ualit Assurance Intercom arison Results (ASU) 7.1.1 Intercom arisons The Radiation Measurements Facility (RMF) routinely participates in intercomparisons sponsored by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Department of Energy Environmental Measurements Laboratory (DOE EML) and Canada's Department of National Health and

"

Welfare. In 1987, on additional "inter'comparison was provided by the U.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC). Thermoluminesce dosimetry (TLD) intercomparisons are conducted with Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

EPA intercomparison results are listed in Appendix C. Gamma spectrometry results on samples with low levels of activity were improved, over the 1986 intercomparisons, by concentrating the sample prior to counting. Milk samples cannot be concentrated by evaporation, at least not in a practical way. Therefore, MDA's for milk are generally a factor of four higher.

The DOE EML Quality Assurance Program restarted in 1987. Results can be found in Appendix C.

In addition the RMF analyzed one USNRC sample which was supplied by PVNGS.

The RMF participated in a tritium spiked urine intercomparison with the Canadian Bureau of Radiological and Medical Devices. The results of the intercomparison are presented in Appendix C.

A charcoal cannister was spiked with iodine (I-131) by Analytics, Inc.,

Atlanta, Georgia and sent to the RMF for assay.

PVNGS and the RMF have been involved in a interlaboratory compariso program since 3uly 1983. On a quarterly basis the PVNGS Dosimetry

Section sends 20 Panasonic UD-812 AS5 TLD badges to the RMF. Upon receipt of the PVNGS badges the RMF randomly separates the badges into several groups. A known exposure to gamma radiation is given to each group of badges. After all groups have been exposed, they are returned to PVNGS for processing. The PVNGS Dosimetry Section then process the badges and returns the results to the RMF. The RMF calculates the performance (P) value for each badge. The "P" value is the difference between the read value and the actual exposure. The "P" values of all badges are averaged and the standard deviation calculated.

The value reported to PVNGS is the absolute value of the averaged "P" values plus the standard deviation. A value of 0.5 is considered passing (ANSI N13.ll). A similar procedure is performed on the RMF badges'by the PVNGS Dosimetry Section. The RMF sends badges on a monthly basis, and the RMF results are presented in Appendix C.

8.0 Data Inter retation and Conclusions Interpretations and conclusions regarding all types of samples analyzed during 1987 ar~

discussed in the following sections. Assessment of pre-operational and operational data revealed no significant changes to environmental radiation levels. There was no observed impact on the environment due to PVNGS operations.

8.1 Air Particulates Air particulate samples were collected from each of the twelve monitoring sites on a weekly basis during 1987.

Air filters were analyzed for Gross Alpha and Gross Beta activities. Gamma Spectralanalysis of the air filters was done on the individual filters for Stations IOA, 15A, 17A, 2IA, 29A and 00A due to the Salt Drift Monitoring Program.

Gamma Spectral analysis for the other stations was performed on quarterly composites by station.

Twenty five air particulate samples were marked as invalid upon arrival at CEP The samples and the reason for the statuses are listed below:

Station 6A showed the highest activity during the quarter (0.007+0.002 -pCi/m3) collected Ol/07/87.

Station 6A showed the lowest activity (0.012+0.002 pCi/m3) collected on 02/18/87. IVeekly mean activities ranged from a low of 0.010+0.002 pCi/m3 during the week of 02/ll/87-02/18/87 to a high of 0.003+0.002 pCi/m3 in the week of 12/30/86-01/07/87. The range of results are comparable to previous quarterly data and do not indicate any anomalies.

Table VIII presents second quarter Gross Beta results. Several stations showed the highest activity during the quarter of 0.031+0.002 pCi/m3. The Station 6A sample collected 06/10/87-06/17/87 showed the lowest level at 0.017+0.002

-pCi/m3. Weekly mean activities ranged from a low of 0.020 pCi/m3 during the periods of 00/Ol/87-00/08/87 and 06/10/87-06/17/87 to a high of 0.029+0.00.

pCi/m3 in the weeks of 05/13/87-05/20/87 and 05/27/87-06/03/87; Table IX presents the Gross Beta levels during the third quarter of 1987. The lowest value of 0.015+0.002 pCi/m3 was observed at station 00A collected during the week of 08/II/87-08/18/87. The highest level of activity was 0.000+0.002 pCi/m3 at Station 29A during the collection period of 09/15/87-09/22/87.

Weekly mean activities ranged from a minimum of 0.018+0.002 pCi/m3 (08/ll/87-08/18/87), to a maximum of 0.037+0.002 pCi/m3 in the period of 09/15/87-09/22/87. The range of results are comparable to previous quarterly data and do not indicate any anomalies.

Table X presents the Gross Beta activities seen in the fourth quarter. Observe levels varied from 0.016+0.002 pCi/m3 at Station 00A (collected II/03/87-ll/IO/87), to 0.055+0.003 pCi/m3 at several stations collected on II/20/87-12/Ol/87. Weekly mean activities ranged from 0.019+0.002 pCi/m3 during the collection period of I I/03/87-11/10/87 to 0.050+0.005 pCi/m3 collected Il/20/87-12/01/87. Based on data from other nuclear reactor environmental monitoring programs, the trend for Gross Beta in air particulates for the PVNGS during the fourth quarter of 1987 is similar to those for other reactor sites located west of the Mississippi River.

Table XI contains the mean Gross Beta activities by station. Mean quarterly activities are calculated using all weekly activities except those marked invalid.

Mean activities for each quarter ranged from a low of 0.020+0.000 at several stations during the year, to a high of 0.038+0.009 pCi/m at Station 21A in the fourth quarter.

The average Cross Beta activity for each quarter is as follows:

Ci/m3 First Quarter 1987 0.028 + 0.008 Second Quarter 1987 0.025 + 0.002 Third Quarter 1987 0.026 + 0.000 Fourth Quarter 1987 0.030 + 0.006 No man-made Gamma-emitting nuclides were detected in any of the air filter samples collected during 1987.

Tables XII thru XV show the Cross Alpha activity for each week during 1987.

Gross Alpha activity was detected in five samples collected in 1987. This data is consistent with the activity seen during preoperational monitoring.

8.2 Airborne Radioiodine Samples for airborne radioiodine monitoring are collected concurrently with th air particulate samples. These samples are collected in charcoal cartridges and analyzed for Iodine-131.

As can be seen in Table XVI one radioiodine sample collected during the first quarter of 1987 showed observable Iodine-131 activity.

The second quarter of 1987 indicated two samples with observable Iodine-131 activity (Table XVII).

Third quarter radioiodine data may be found in Table XVII. One sample indicated Iodine-131 activity above the detection limit of 0.007 pCi/m3.

As can be seen in Table XIX seven samples collected during the fourth quarter of 1987 showed observable Iodine-131 acitivty.

8.3 Thermoluminescent Dosimetr Thermoluminescent dosimeters were placed in fifty locations ranging from one to forty-five miles from the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. Beginning in 1980 the Panasonic Model 812 Dosimeter replaced all other TLD's in use. The 812 is a multi-element dosimeter combining 2 elements of Lithium Borate and 2 Calcium Sulfate elements.

Tables XX to XXIII present the results of the Quarterly exposures for 1987.

Quarterly data obtained from TLD's are graphically presented in Figures 16 to 18.

Differences in individual station mean values represent statistical variation more so than actual fluctuations in the background radiation around the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and tend to vary about an approximate mean of 20 mRem/quarter. Operational data for 1987 compare very closely with pre-operational data.

Figure 20 illustrates the mean TLD activity from 1981 through 1987. These values were obtained by averaging all TLD's in the field, during the quarter. (The control TLD was not included).

L4 ~Ve etation Human vegetation samples were collected from four local farms since no commercial companies are located in the area. The leafy vegetation samples collected during 1987 included: mustard greens and lettuce. The citrus samples included grapefruits, oranges, tangerines and lemons.

Table XXIV presents Iodine-131,data for the human vegetation samples collected during 1987. No observable activity was detected in any of the samples. The results of the Gamma Spectralanalyses for all human vegetation samples is presented in Tables XXV and XXVI. No man-made Gamma emitting nuclides were detected in any of the samples.

Animal vegetation samples were collected from six local farms participating in the milk survey. Types of vegetation collected included: grain, hay, haylage and silage. These samples were analyzed for Strontium-$ 9, Strontium-90 and Gamma emitting nuclides.

Table XXVIIindicates no Strontium-89/90 was detected in 1987. One hay sample collected on 02/13/87 from the Skousen Dairy indicated Cesium-137 activity of 0.199+0.038 pCi/g. No other Gamma emitting nuclides were detected (Table XXVIII).

Drinking water samples were taken monthly. AII of the samples were analyzed for Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, Strontium-90, Tritium and for Gamma-emitting nuclides. Results of these analyses are summarized in Tables XXIX and XXX.

Eleven (I I) of the samples showed Gross Alpha activity above the detection limit of 1.0 pCi/1. The range of Gross Alpha activity in drinking water samples collected during 1987 was from less than 1.0 pCi/I to 7.6+0.6 pCi/I (Glover Residence collected 07/10/87).

Gross Beta activity ranged from less than 2.0 pCi/I to a high of 10.0+0.8 pCi/I (McArthur Residence collected 03/12/87).

Strontium-90 was detected in none of the drinking water samples collected during 1987.

Tritium results, for all drinking water samples collected during 1986, were less than 1000 pCi/l. In addition, no Gamma-emitting nuclides of man-made origin were detected in any of the samples.

8.6 Groundwater Quarterly groundwater samples were collected from the on-site wells (W~

27ddc and Well 30abb). All groundwater samples were analyzed for Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, Strontium-90, Tritium and for Gamma-emitting nuclides. Results obtained from the analysis of the samples is presented in Tables XXXI and XXXII.

Both groundwater sample collected on 11/10/87 exhibited Gross Alpha activity.

Gross Beta activity was detected in two of the groundwater samples collected during 1987. Well 27ddc, 0.6+5.7 pCi/1 (08/11/87) and Well 30 abb, 3.0+7.7 pCi/I (08/11/87).

No groundwater sample collected during 1987 had detectable levels of Tritium Strontium-90. In addition, no isotopes of interest were detected by Gamma Spectralanalysis of the groundwater samples.

8.7 Surface Water Surface water samples were introduced into the monitoring program during the third quarter of 1982. Samples from PVNGS Reservoir and PVNGS Evaporation Pond were collected weekly throughout 1987.

These samples were analyzed for Iodine-131, Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, Strontium-89, Strontium-90, Tritium and Gamma-emitting nuclides. Results of these analyses are presented in Tables XXXIIIthrough XXXYI.

Iodine-131 was detected in fifty-six of the 1987 surface water samples collected.

Activity ranged from less than 0.5 pCi/1 to a high of 12.5+0.7 pCi/1 on 12/22/87 at PVNGS Reservoir.

PVNGS Reservoir samples demonstrated Gross Beta activities ranging from N

3.0+0.5 pCi/1 to 23+1 pCi/I (Ol/15/87). The samples from the PVNGS Evaporation Pond showed Gross Beta activities ranging from 8.0+0.6 pCi/1 to 270+10 pCi/I (09/22/87).

As can be seen from Table XXXIII,"twenty (20) surface water samples exhibited observable activity for Strontium-90 above the detection limit of 0.5 pCi/I and one sample indicated Strontium-89 activity above the lower limit of detection (i.o pCi/i).

Gamma Spectralanalysis of the samples showed no detectable activity for Gamma emitting nuclides of interest except Iodine-131 (Table XXXVI).

-111-

The surface water samples were analyzed for Tritium activity. The PVNC~

Reservoir samples indicated no Tritium activity above the lower limit detection (1000 pCi/I) for 1987. The PVNGS Pond samples indicated Tritium activity throughout most of 1987.

8.8 Milk (Fresh)

Fresh milk samples were collected on a monthly basis during 1987 from t following locations:

1. Al Lueck, 3r. Dairy

2. Cordell Baisley Dairy

3. Butler Dairy

0. 3ohn Kerr Dairy

5. Hamstra //2 (designated operational control location)

6. Paul Skousen Dairy All milk samples were analyzed for iodine-131, Strontium-89, Strontium-90 and Gamma-emitting nuclides. Results of these analyses are presented in Tables XXXVIIand XXXYIII.

iodine-13l analyses of the milk samples showed the presence of the isotope in two of the samples. Activity was detected on 05/15/87 at the Al Lueck, 3r.

Dairy (2.6+0.7 pCi/1) and the Cordell Baisley Dairy (2.0+0.7 pCi/1).

Strontium-90 analyses of the milk samples revealed nineteen positive results above the detection limit of 0.5 pCi/l. Results for all but one of the milk samples for Strontium-89 analyses were less than the lower limit of detection (1.0 pCi/1).

Gamma-emitting nuclides of interest remain below the level of detection for all milk samples analyzed in 1987.

8.9 ASU Conclusions The conclusions are based on a review of the radioassay results and background gamma radiation measurements for the 1987 calendar year. The radioassay conclusions are based on observations of fission products radionuclides and do not include observations of naturally occurring radionuclides such as potassium-00.

Gamma isotopic assays of 70 milk samples yielded only one, Hamstra I/2 Dairy (September 21), in which any gamma isotope exceeded the lower limit of detection. In this instance, the iodine-131 concentration (11.0 pCi/1) was extremely close to the lower limit of detection. Radiochemical analysis of the same sample determined iodine-131 to be < 0.96 pCi/l.

None of the 70 milk samples analyzed, radiochemically contained iodine-131 above the lower limit of detection (typically<1 pCi/1).

Gross alpha and beta analyses were performed on 103 surface and ground water samples. All ground water samples were within the natural backgrounds found in the area. The gross beta activity in the evaporation pond was approximately ten times greater than that measured in the reservoir.

Strontium-89 and strontium-90 analyses were performed on 185 surface and ground water samples. Except for an occasional occurrence of strontium-90 in the evaporation pond, all results were at the lower limits of detection for the respective isotopes. The occurrences of strontium-90 in the evaporation pond were < 1 pCi/1 in all instances. Of the 70 milk samples assayed for these radioisotopes, the Lueck Dairy (3anuary 16) sample had the highest strontium-90 concentration, which was approximately twice the lower level of detection.

The strontium calculations were repeated and no computational errors were found. The sample results which were originally reported by the RMF were averages of duplicate measurements. Therefore, precision is not a factor. The RMF has reviewed the sample procedures and analysis and can find no explanation for the discrepancy.

APPENDIX D 1987 LAND USE CENSUS

-176-

1.0 INTRODUCTION

In accordance with PVNGS Technical Specification 12.2, the annual Land Use Census within a five mile radius of mid line PVNGS Unit 2 containment was performed during, December 1987 by Ralph B. Ochoa and Carolyn Persson.

Observations were made in each of the 16 meteorological sectors of the nearest milking 'animals (cows and goats), nearest residence, and the nearest garden of greater than 500 ft2 producing broad leaf vegetation. This census was completed by driving the roads within a five mile radius of PVNGS noting the location of the above mentioned items.

The results of the Land Use Census are presented in Table 1 and discussed below. In 'he table, the radial direction and mileage from Unit 2 containment are presented for each location. The radial direction is one of the 16 different compass points. The mileage

-

was estimated from mao position from each location.

2.0 CENSUS RESULTS 2.1 Nearest Resident Table 1 presents the location of the nearest resident to the PVNGS

.in each of the 16 meteorological sectors. There were two changes in the nearest resident status noted in the 1987 census. These changes were in the east northeast and the south sectors.

2.2 Hilkin Animals Hilk goats were located within the five mile radius of Unit 2 during the 1986 Land Use Census.

Hilk was obtained for radiological analysis in February, 1987. Since the dose commitment was LLD, it was not 20X greater than at a location from which samples are currently being obtained in accordance with Specification 3.12.1. Therefore, the new location identified in the 1986 Land Use Census was not added to the radiological environmental monitoring program for 1987.

2.3 Ve etable Gardens No gardens greater than 500 square feet producing broad leaf vegetation were found during the 1987 Land Use Census.

2.4 Conclusion No changes were made to the REHP as a result of the 1987 Land Use Census.
