SUMMARY

During the period January 1 to December 31, 1978, Radiation Management Corporation participdted in the Operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted by Public Service Electric and Gas Company at Artificial Island, New Jersey. Salem Nuclear Generating Station (SNGS)

Unit #1 became critical on December 11, 1976, thereby initiating the operational phase of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP).

This program was designed to identify and quantify concentrations of radioactivity in various environmental media and to quantify ambient radiation levels in the environs of Artificial Island. During the operational phase, the program will monitor the operations of SNGS Unit #1, fulfill the requirements of the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications, and provide background data for SNGS Unit #2 and Hope Creek Generating Station. This report presents the results of thermoluminescent dosimetry and radiochemical analyses of environmental samples collected during 1978.

A total of 3472 analyses were performed on 2688 environmental samples during the period covered by this report. Samples of air particulates, air iodine, surface, ground and drinking water, benthos, sediment, milk, fish, vegetables, game, fodder crops, and precipitation were collected. Thermoluminescent dosimeters were used to measure ambient radiation levels.

A wide variety of radionuclides, both naturally occurring and man-made, were found in the above samples. These nuclides were detected at levels similar to those found during the preoperational phase of this program. In general no significant differences were observed between indicator and control stations.

It is concluded that the radiological characteristics of the environment around Artificial Island were not affected by SNGS Unit #1 during 1978.

INTRODUCTION Radiation Management Corporation (RMC) has participated in the Artificial Island Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) since January 1973.

RMC has previously reported results from the preoperational phase of the REMP for 1973(1), 1974(2), 1975(3) and 1976(4). On December 11, 1976, SNGS Unit #1 first achieved criticality, thereby initiating the operational phase of the REMP.

RMC has also reported results from the initial operating period between December 11 and December 31, 1976 (5) and January 1 and December 31, 1977 (6).

This report summarizes the operational period between January 1 and December 31, 1978.

Artificial Island will eventually be the site of four nuclear power reactors.

Two of the reactors are part of the Salem Nuclear Generating Station. Unit #1 is a 1090 MWe pressurized water reactor (PWR), and is presently operational.

Unit #2, now under construction, will consist of an 1115 MWe PWR and is scheduled for operation in 1979. The remaining two units will be part of the Hope Creek Generating Station.

Artificial Island is actually a man-made peninsula in the Delaware River, created by the deposition of dredging spoils. It is located in Lower Alloways Township, Salem County, New Jersey. The environment around Artificial Island is characterized mainly by the Delaware River and Bay, extensive tidal marshes, and grass lands. These land types make up approximately 85% of the land area within five miles of the site. Most of the remaining land is used for agricultural production. (7)

More specific information on the demography, hydrology, meteorology, and land use characteristics of the local area may be found in the Environmental Report (7), Environmental Statement (8), and the Final Safety Analyses Report {Units 1 and 2) for SNGS (9).

THE PROGRAM In the operational phase of the REMP, the program was conducted in accordance with section 3.2 of the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications. Radio-analytical data were collected and compared with results from the preoperational phase. Differences between these periods were examined statistically to determine whether any station effects exist.

Objectives The objectives of the operational radiological environmental program are:

1. To fulfill the obligations of the Radiological Surveillance-Environmental sections of the Environmental Technical Specifications for SNGS.
2. To determine whether any significant increase occurs in the concentration of radionuclides in critical pathways.
3. To determine if SNGS has caused an increase in the radioactive inventory of long lived radionuclides.
4. To detect any change in ambient gamma radiation levels~
5. To verify that SNGS operations have no detrimental effects on the health and safety of the public or on the environment.

This report as required by section 5.6 of the Salem ETS summarizes the findings of the 1978 REMP. Results of the four year preoperational program have been surrmarized for purposes of comparison with subsequent operational reports. (4)

Sample Collection In order to meet the stated objectives, an appropriate operational REMP was developed by RMC in cooperation with Public Service Electric and Gas Company.

Samples of various media were selected to obtain data for the evaluation of the radiation dose to man and other organisms. The selection of sample types was based on: (1) established critical pathways for the transfer of radionuclides through the environment to man, and (2) experience gained during the preoperational phase. Sampling locations were determined from site meteorology, Delaware estuarian hydrology, local demography, and land uses.

Sampling locations were divided into two classes--indicator and control.

Indicator stations are those which are expected to manifest station effects, if any exist; control samples are collected at locations which are believed 3

to be unaffected by station operations. Fluctuations in the levels of radionuclides and direct radiation at indicator stations are evaluated with respect to analogous fluctuations at control stations, which are unrelated to station operation. Indicator and background station data are also evaluated relative to preoperational data. The REMP for the Artificial Island site includes additional samples and analyses not specifically required by the Salem ETS *.The summary tables in this report include these additional samples and analyses.

Air particulates were collected on Hollingsworth and Vose H-70-018 filters with low-volume air samplers (1 cfm). Iodine was collected from air by absorption on TEDA charcoal cartridges connected in series behind the air particulate filters. Air sample volumes were measured with calibrated dry-gas meters corrected to standard temperature and pressure.

Precipitation was collected on a 95-square-inch rain gauge. Samples were collected monthly and transferred to new polyethylene bottles. The rain gauge was rinsed at collection with distilled water to include residual particulates in the preci-pitation samples. Results of subsequent analyses were corrected for the increase in volume. Tritium results were also corrected for the tritium content of the distilled water.

Ambient radiation levels in the environs were measured with energy-compensated caso 4 (Tm) thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs). Packets containing four TLDs each were placed on and around the Artificial Island site at various distances and were exposed on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Monthly well and potable water samples were taken in new two-gallon polyethylene bottles. Separate raw and treated potable water samples were composited daily by personnel of the Salem Water Company. The Salem Water Company draws its water from Laurel Lake and adjacent wells, which are not expected to be influenced by SNGS liquid discharge.

Surface water samples were collected by Icthyological Associates and shipped to RMC for analysis in new polyethylene bottles. Sample containers were rinsed twice with the sample medium prior to collection~ Edible fish were taken by net, sealed in a bag or jar and shipped frozen. Benthos and sediment were taken with a bottom grab sampler.

Milk samples were taken in new polyethylene bottles and shipped fresh. Food products, fodder crops, game and bovine thyroid samples were taken and sealed in plastic bags or jars. Perishable samples were frozen at the time of sampling without any preservatives.

Appendix A describes and summarizes, in the format of table 5.6-1 of the Salem ETS, the entire operational program as performed in 1978. Appendix B describes the RMC coding system, which specifies sample type and relative locations at a glance. Also in Appendix B, Table B-1 gives the pertinent information on individual sampling locations, while maps B-1 and B-2 show the sampling locations.

Data Interpretation Radiation Management Corporation has an extensive quality assurance program designed to maximize confidence in the analytical procedures used. The analytical methods and quality control procedures utilized in this program are sunmarized in Appendix D. Approximately 20% of the total analytical effort is spent on quality control, including process quality control, instrument quality control, inter-laboratory cross-check analyses, and comprehensive data review. Results of the EPA inter-laboratory comparison program appear in Appendix E. A full discussion of these results can be found in reference 10. Several factors are important in the interpre-tation of the data. These factors are discussed here to avoid repetition in sections that follow.

Grab Sampling is a useful and acceptable procedure for taking environmental samples of a medium in which the concentration of radionuclides is expected to vary slowly with time or where intermittent sampling is deemed sufficient to establish the radiological characteristics of the medium. This method, however, is only representative of the sampled medium for that specific location and instant of time. As a result, variation in the radionuclide concentrations of the samples will normally occur. Since these variations will tend to counterbalance one another, the extraction of averages based upon repetitive grab samples is valid.

Within the data tables (appendix C) an approximate 95% (+/-2 sigma) confidence interval is supplied for those data points above the minimum detectable level.

These intervals represent the range of values into which 95% of repeated analyses of the same sample would fall.

Results for each type of sample were grouped according to the analysis performed. Means and standard deviations of these results were calculated when applicable. The calculated standard deviations of grouped data found in appendix C represent sample and not analytical variability. When a group of data was composed of mainly (>50%) MDL values, averages were not calculated.

It is characteristic of environmental monitoring data that many results occur at or below the minimum detectable level (MDL). For reporting and calculation of averages, any result occurring at or below the minimum detectable level is considered to be at that level. Averages obtained using this method are there-fore biased high.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The analytical results of the 1978 REMP samples are divided into the categories based on exposure pathways: airborne, direct, water, aquatic and ingestion.

The analytical results for the 1978 REMP samples are summarized in Appendix A.

The data for individual samples are presented in Appendix C.

Airborne Air Particulates Weekly air particulate samples were analyzed for beta emitters at eight stations and alpha emitters at two stations. Quarterly composites of the weekly samples from each station were analyzed for Sr-89, Sr-90 and gamma emitters.

Of the 105 weekly air particulate samples (2 stations) analyzed for alpha emitters, 71 showed detectable concentrations. The range o! alpha activity was from <0.0003 to 0.0038 pCi/m3 and averaged 0.0010 pCi/m

  • Weekly gross beta analyses showed concentrations ranging from 0.019 to 1.03 pCi/m3, with the average for the 8 sampling stations being 0.093 pCi/m3
  • In addition to normal seasonal fluctuations, increased activity was noted in late March and was directly attributed to fallout from the March 14 atmosheric nuclear weapons test by the Peoples Republic of China. Figure 1 shows the relation between gross beta activity in air and precipitation for the preoperational versus the operational periods, showing both seasonal and weapons-testing fluctuations.

Results of gamma spectrometry showed detectable levels of several radio-nuclides, both naturally occurring and man-made (Be-7, Mn-54, ZrNb-95, Ru-103, Ru-106, Sb-125, I-131, I-132, Te-132, Cs-137, Bala-140, Ce-141 and Ce-144).

Concentrations of man-made nuclides detected during the first quarter composite can be attributed to fallout from the March 14 atmospheric nuclear weapons test. All nuclides detected were observed at the control station as well as indicator stations and at similar concentrations. The results of second, third, and fourth quarter composites showed generally decreasing levels of most nuclides. The presence of Be-7 throughout the year can be attributed to cosmic ray activity.

The radiostrontium analyses performed on the quarterly composites showed levels of Sr-89 rangin~ between <.0005 and 0.050 pCi/m3, with the average being 0.0017 pCi/m3 while Sr-90 ranged between 0.0002 and 0.0032 pCi/m3 with the average being .0015 pCi/m3. The activities noted during the first and second quarters are the result of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing on March 14 and are not related to the operation of SNGS since results were the same at indicator and control stations.

Air Iodine Iodine cartridges were connected in series behind each of the air particulate filters for absorption of gaseous iodine. The absorption media used in these cartridges was 11 TEDA 11 impregnated charcoal. Ten of 369 cartridges analyzed had detectable concentrations of I-131 ranging between OoOlO and 0.051 pCi/m3.

The detectable I-131 was observed in late March and early April at both con-trol and indicator stations, and can therefore be attributed to the world-wide fallout from the nuclear weapons testing on March 14. No additional I-131 activity wa? observed throughout the reporting period.

Preci pi ta ti on Although not specifically required by the Salem ETS, precipitation was sampled continuously and collected monthly at the Salem substation sampling location.

Monthly samples were analyzed for tritium, alpha emitters and beta emitters.

Concentrations of H-3 in these samples were all below MDL and ranged from <50 to <147 pCi/l. The concentrations of alpha emitters were below MDL (0.4-1.4 pCi/l) in nine of the twelve samples. The other three samples had alpha concentrations ranging between 1.4 and 2.0 pCi/l. Beta-emitter concentrations ranged from 3.8 to 565 pCi/l and averaged 75 pCi/l. The highest activity (565 pCi/l was found in the March sample and can be attributed to -fallout from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing.

Quarterly composites of precipitation were analyzed for radiostrontium and gamma emitters. The gamma emitters detected were naturally occurring Be-7 and Ra-226 while the man-made nuclides observed were ZrNb-95, Ru-103, Ru-106, I-131, Cs-137, BaLa-140, Ce-141 and Ce-144. Most of the nuclides were de-tected in the first quarter sample, which included samples that were affected by the March atmospheric nuclear weapons test. The Sr-89 levels ranged between 0.7 and 26 pCi/l, while those for Sr-90 ranged from 0.3 to 1.7 pCi/l. The highest results for Sr-89 occurred during the first quarter and reflect fall-out from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing._

Direct Direct radiation measurements were made at 24 locations using Caso 4 (Tm) thermo-luminescent dosimeters. A new location was added in July and continued through December. During 1978, 294 monthly and 98 quarterly TLD packets were collected.

Each packet included four dosimeters for a total of 1568 analyses. These analyses resulted in an average dose rate of 5.05 mrads/standard month for monthly TLDs and 4.73 mrads/standard month for quarterly TLDs. All TLD results presented in this report have been normalized to a standard month (30.4 days) to eliminate the apparent differences caused by variations in exposure periods. A comparison of the direct radiation data for 1978 shows a similarity between the average monthly dose for both indicator stations (4.96 mrem/std. month) and control stations (5.47 mrem/std. month). These results compare favorably to the preopera-tional results as shown in figure 2, therefore, indicating no effect from SNGS operation.

In order to better evaluate the variation between TLD results a statistical model has been developed, which is capable of separating a contribution by SNGS from the background componeht. The statistical method utilized is a linear regression analysis which involves determining the functions which best describe the background component by the least squares method. Six models*

were originally tested and are described in a separate publication (11). The equation which describes the model selected is:

CON;m COT*

= f (Xj * - - -

  • __1_)

COT; where:

f = denotes a function of Yjmi = predicted value for station j, month m, and year i 9

x.J = preoperational mean for station j CONim = average of the control stations for month m and year i COT*1 = average of the control station for year i (a 11 p11 in place of 11 i 11 represents the preoperational period)

A computer program was developed for multiple regression analysis. The least squares fit (LSF) line based on all 1978 data was determined along with the statis-tics for this line. The data for 1978 was tested against predicted values and prediction limits determined from the model period line. Differences between predicted and observed values are termed residuals. Residuals outside the prediction. limits of the predicted value are identified as outliers. For 1978, eighteen outliers were predicted from a possible 294. Eight of these outliers occurred at station 2Sl, which was reconstructed in April 1977 after the preoperational mean was calculated which invalidates the preoperational mean. If a new mean is used based on data obtained from July 1977 through April 1978 no outliers are obtained.

Four positive outliers occurred at 7Sl, three occurred in the beginning of the year while construction was going on in the area of this station which could effect the terrestrial component. The fourth occurred in December, along with outliers at 2Sl and 11Sl. Construction activities at the site may have contri-buted to the appearance of these outliers. If it is conservatively assumed that these were due to station activity, the other on site locations lOSl and 6Sl should have shown positive outliers also. Since no positive outliers were observed at any other location in December, it can be concluded that there were no environmental effects from stntion activity.

Two positive outliers occurred at station 5Fl in April and September. Since no stations, other than two previously mentioned, were outliers during those months it can be concluded that they do not reflect station activity. The remaining 3 outliers were randomly distributed among the stations and are probably the result of statistical fluctuations.

Water Surface Water Monthly surface water samples were taken at five locations tn the Delaware estuary. One is downstream from the outfall area, one is in the outfall area, and another is directly west of the outfall area at the mouth of the Appoquin-imink River. Two other stations are located upstream--one station is in the river and the other is in the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. The station located at the mouth of the Appoquinimink River serves as the operational control. Surface water samples were analyzed for tritium, alpha emitters, beta emitters, strontium-89 and -90, and gamna emitters.

Analysis of surface water for H-3 yielded an average concentration of 106 pCi/l and ranged from <64 to 314 pCi/l. These levels are similar to those measured in the preoperational program as shown in figure 3. A gradual decrease in tritium activity from 1973 to 1978 can be attributed to general reduction in the world-wide tritium inventory with the cessation of routine atmospheric weapons testing. To test whether there are differences in tritium concentration between the closest indicator location (llAl) and the control location (12Cl) a 11 t 11 test was performed. The 11 t 11 value obtained was 0.97, which shows there is no difference between means at the 95% confidence level.

Gross alpha concentrations were generally below MDL, which ranged from 1.0 to 51 pCi/l. The large variations in MDL are due to the amount of solids present in the sample. Only 1 of the 55 samples analyzed showed detectable gross alpha activity. The result (27+/-23 pCi/l) was within the same range as the MDLs. Alpha activity may be expected in suspended solids from naturally occurring radionuclides especially during periods of high surface runoff.

Gross beta concentrations ranged from 8.0 to 118 pCi/l and averaged 42 pCi/l.

Nearly all of the beta activity was contributed by K-40, a natural component of salt and brackish waters, as illustrated in figure 4, comparing gross beta and K-40 concentrations in the Delaware River. Due to the flow rate variations and the tidal nature of the estuarine environment, large variations in the gross beta concentrations were observed throughout the year. Much of this variation can be attributed to the tidal stage at the time of sampling.

Gamma spectrometric analysis of surface water samples showed detectable concentrations of K-40 in 44 of 55 samples. The average K-40 concentration was 42 pCi/l and ranged from <6 to 120 pCi/l. K-40 is a naturally-occurring radionuclide which is expected to be found in salt and brackish waters.

Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (0.4 to 1.6 pCi/l) in all samples. Levels of detectable Sr-90 ranged from 0.3 to 0.7 pCi/l in 9 of the 20 samples. The MDLs values ranged from 0;3 to 0.9 pCi/l. The maximum level of Sr-90 detected in the preoperational program was 1.6 pCi/l.

Well Water Monthly well water samples were taken from an on-site (indicator) well and two off-site (control) wells. All well water samples were analyzed for H-3, alpha and beta activity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption). Quarterly composites were analyzed for gamma emitters, and Sr-89 and Sr-90.

Detectable concentrations of H-3 were observed in three of 36 samples ranging between <62 pCi/l to 225 pCi/l. Concentrations of alpha emitters were below the MDL (0.4 to 2.2 pCi/l) in all but one sample, and that sample had a detectable concentration of 2.4 pCi/l. The concentrations of beta emitters averaged 8.2 pCi/l and ranged from <1.8 to 16 pCi/l. The potassium-40 activity as determined by atomic absorption averaged 8.7 pCi/l. This indicates that the beta activity observed in these samples is primarily the result of naturally occurring K-40, a beta emitter.

The only nuclide detected by gamma spectrometry was K-40 (9.8 to 16 pCi/l) in four of twelve samples. All results for Sr-89 and Sr-90 were below the MDL of 0.5-1.1 pCi/l and 0.3-0.7 pCi/l, respectively.

Potable Water Both raw and treated water samples were taken at the Salem Water Company, the only drinking water processing plant in the vicinity of Artificial Island. The raw water source for this plant is Laurel Lake (a trib~tary of the Delaware River) and several adjacent wells. Potable water samples were analyzed monthly for H-3, alpha and beta activity, and K-40 (by atomic absorption); Sr-89 and

-90, and gamma emitters were analyzed on a quarterly basis.

13

The concentration of H-3 averaged 110 pCi/l for all analyses, with no significant differences between the raw and treated samples. Detectable alpha activity was observed in 18 of 24 samples ranging between 0.3 pCi/l and 2.8 pCi/l in all samples. Beta and K-40 concentrations were lower than in the saline surface .

water, as is usual for fresh water, with K-40 generally contributing less than 50% of the beta activity. The average gross beta concentrations were 5.0 pCi/l (raw) and 3.4 pCi/l (treated). The average K-40 results were 1.0 pCi/l (raw) and 1.0 pCi/l (treated).

Quarterly composites of raw and treated samples were analyzed for Sr-89 and -90, and gamma emitters. All concentrations of Sr-89 were less than the MDL which ranged 0.8 pCi/l to 1.4 pCi/l. Strontium-90 was observed in four of the eight samples with concentrations ranging between 0.5 pCi/l and 0.9 pCi/l, with four samples below the MDL (0.5 pCi/l and 0.8 pCi/l). No gamma emitters were detected in any of these samples.

Aquatic Benthos Benthic organisms were collected at four locations and analyzed for Sr-89 and -90. Levels of Sr-89 were below MDL (0.2-1100 pCi/l). The wide fluctu-ations in MDL are due to inconsistencies in sample volume (32-.002 grams dry).

One of six samples showed a detectable Sr-90 concentration of 0.03 pCi/g-dry.

The detectable activity of this sample is below the MDL range (0.04 to 546 pCi/g-dry) of the other four samples. The MDL for. radiostrontium as required by the Environmental Technical Specifications for benthic organisms was not met in all of the samples due to the impracticality of obtaining a sufficiently large sample size of benthic organis*ms.

Sediment Sediment was collected semiannually at four locations and analyzed for gamma emitters and Sr-90.

Results of gamma spectrometry showed detectable levels of a variety of naturally occurring radionuclides as well as man-made radionuclides. Some fallout nuclides (Zr-95, Ru-103, Cs-137, and Ce-141) were observed inter-mittently at control stations as well as indicator stations. A wide variety of radionuclides was detected in the June sample at station llAl which is located at the SNGS discharge. The majority of the nuclides detected were near the MDL. Cs-137 was detected at a concentration 10 times the control value. This was re~orted to the NRC in a nonroutine report.

Some of the activity present in this sample can be attributed to the characteristics of the sediment at this location. During the preopera-tional period concentrations of Cs-137 ranged from (0.04-0.40 pCi/g-dry) at this location. The 30 year half-life and biological assimilation of Cs-137 accounts for the continued appearance of this nuclide in sediment samples many years after atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.

14

Sr-90 was observed in two of the eight samples analyzed. The detected activities were 0.03 pCi/g-dry and 0.04 pCi/g-dry, which are in the MDL range (0.03 to 0.06 pCi/g-dry) of the other six samples.

Ingestion Milk Milk samples were taken twice a month from six local farms during 1978 and analyzed for I-131; gamma emitters, Sr-89 and Sr-90 were analyzed monthly. Following the nuclear weapons test of March 14, additional milk samples were collected in order to meet the ETS requirements con-cerning collection during time of elevated I-131 concentrations.

Detectable concentrations of I-131 were observed in 20 of 22 samples collected from all stations between the first week of April through the first collection in May. The I-131 observed ranged between 0.09 and 12 pCi/l and was attributed to the world-wide fallout from the March 14 nuclear weapons test. Figure 5 shows the average I-131 concentrations in milk samples resulting from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests by the Peoples Republic of China between June 1974 and March 1978. No other I-131 was observed in any of the samples.

Two incidents concerning I-131 in milk samples were reported in 1978.

In both cases, the I-131 concentrations at the indicator location were a factor of ten greater than was the concentration at the control location.

The first incident occurred with the April 3 and 4 sample collected at station 5F2. It was concluded that the cause of reportable I-131 was world-wide nuclear fallout from the March 1~ nuclear weapons test since SNGS did not release detectable I-131 during this reporting period.

GaITTTia spectrometry showed detectable concentrations of K-40 in all samples and Cs-137 in all but three of the 67 samples analyzed. The annual average concentrations were 1350 pCi/l for K-40 and 3.4 pCi/l for Cs-137. These levels were not significantly different between control and indicator stations.

Strontium-89 was detected in seventeen of the sixty~seven samples analyzed with results ranging between 1.3 pCi/l and 12 pCi/l. The range of MDL values was 1.3 pCi/l to 3.9 pCi/l. Of the seventeen positive results detected fourteen were within the MDL range. The remaining positive values occurred in April and can be attributed to fallout from an atmospheric nuclear weapon test in March. The concentration of Sr-90 was positive in all but one of the 67 samples analyzed and averaged 3.8 pCi/l. Sr-90 concentrations were similar at indicator and control stations, indicating no contribution from SNGS. Due to the 28 year half-life and biological assimilation Sr-90 can be ex-pected to remain long after routine atmospheric testing has ceased.

All Sr-89 *and -90 analyses have been yield verified by atomic absorption to determine Ca interference.

Fish Edible fish samples (American eel, White Perch, Channel Catfish, Spot, etc.) were collected at three locations and analyzed for 15

gamma emitters and tritium. Fish bones were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90.

Gamna spectrometry of these samples showed K-40 in all 6 samples analyzed at an average concentration of 2.6 pCi/g-wet with a range of 2.2-3.2 pCi/g-wet.

Cs-137 was detected in one of the six samples at a concentration of .007 pCi/g-wet which is close to the range of MDL values (0.005-0.006 pCi/g-wet).

Tritium analyses were performed on both aqueous and organic fractions of the flesh portions of these samples. The average concentration of tritium was 78 pCi/l with a range of <57-169 pCi/1 for the aqueous fraction and 305 pCi/l for the organic fraction with a range of 227-466 pCi/l. Of the six samples analyzed, four results are essentially the same as those found in surface water for the same period. The remaining two results were slightly higher (403-466 pCi/l) than the highest result detected in surface water (314 pCi/l).

Since these samples were too small for reanalysis verification of the slightly higher activity was _not possible.

All the bone samples analyzed for Sr-89 were below minimum detectable level (0.1 to 0.3 pCi/g-dry), with two exceptions. The June samples from station llAl and 7El had detectable levels of 0.07 and 0.11 pCi/g-dry, respectively which is below the MDL of the other samples. Three of the four samples analyzed for Sr-90 had detectable concentrations of 0.19-0.29 pCi/g-dry.

The maximum level detected during the preoperational period was 0.94 pCi/g-dry.

Food Products A wide variety of other human food products was sampled and analyzed for gamma emitters, and Sr-89 and -90. These included cucumbers, asparagus, peppers, cabbage, corn, tomatoes, squash, and eggplant. All samples con-tained K-40 at concentrations from 0.9 to 2.9 pCi/g-wet. No other gamma emitters were detected in these food products. Sr-89 concentrations were generally below MDL, which ranged from 4 to 10 pCi/kg-wet. One of the fourteen samples analyzed showed detectable Sr-89 activity. The result (9+/-7 pCi/kg-wet) was within the same range as the MDLs. Seven of the fourteen samples analyzed showed detectable Sr-90 activity (2-21 pCi/kg-wet).

Sr-90 concentrations were generally below MDL, which ranged from 3 to 7 pCi/kg-wet. Indicator and control locations had similar concentrations.

Game Four samples of muskrats were taken during this period. Flesh from all four samples was analyzed for gamma emitters while bones were analyzed for Sr-89 and Sr-90. Naturally occurring K-40 was detected in all four samples ranging from 1.7 to 2.7 pCi/g. Muskrat bones showed detectable Sr-89, with concentrations ranging between 0.1 and 0.3 pCi/g-dry. Detectable Sr-90 concentrations were observed in all samples ranging from 0.25 to 1.56 pCi/g-dry. All results were near the MDL and indicator and control stations had similar results.

Beef One beef sample was collected during this reporting period. Only naturally-occurring K-40 was detected in this sample at a concentration of 1.7 pCi/g.

17

Beef Thyroid One beef thyroid was taken during this period and analyzed for garrrna emitters.

This sample showed a detectable concentration of naturally occurring K-40 at a concentration of 0.6 pCi/g-wet.

Fodder Crops Eleven fodder crop samples were taken at 7 local farms and analyzed for gamma emitters. Gamma spectrometry of these samples showed a variety of radionuclides, both man-made and naturally occurring. Of the naturally occurring gamma emitters present, only K-40 was observed in all samples, with an average of 12 pCi/g-dry.

The other detected naturally occurring nuclide was Be-7 with results ranging from 0.8 to 4.3 pCi/g-dry. The man-made nuclides Ru-106, Sb-125, Cs-137 and Ce-144 were observed in one sample at concentrations near the MDL. Cs-137 was also detected in another sample. All of these nuclides with the exception of Sb-125 were detected during the preoperational period at similar concentrations.

All man-made radionuclides are assumed to be from the residual world-wide fallout from the March 1978 nuclear weapons test since all were detected in the air particulate samples collected following the above mentioned test.

CONCLUSIONS The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for Salem Nuclear Generating Station at Artificial Island was conducted during 1978 in accordance with the SNGS Environmental Technical Specifications. The objectives of the program were met during this period. The data collected shows that SNGS unit #1 was operated in compliance with Environmental Technical Specifications.

From the results obtained, it can be concluded that the levels and fluctuations of radioactivity in environmental samples were as expected for an estuarine environment. In addition no increases were observed in either radionuclide concentrations in critical pathways or with respect to radionuclide build up.

Ambient radiation levels were relatively low, averaging about 5.05 mrem/std.

month and we~e similar to preoperational results. I-131 detected in a few samples was attributed to atmospheric fallout from a nuclear weapons test in March 1978. No other unusual radiological characteristics were observed in the environs of Artificial Island. The operation of SNGS Unit #1 had no discernable effect on the radiological characteristics of the environs of Artificial Island.

APPENDIX B SAMPLE DESIGNATION AND LOCATIONS 29

APPENDIX B Sample Designation RMC identifies samples by a three part code. The first two letters 11 are the power station identification code, in this case SA 11

  • The next one to three letters are for the media sampled.

AIO = Air Iodine GAM = Game APT = Air Particulates IDM = Irrrnersion Dose (TLD)

AQS = Sediment MLK = Milk SOL = Soi 1 PWA = Potable Water; (PWR = raw, ECH = Hard Shell Blue Crab PWT = treated)

ESB = Benthos ESF ~ Edible Fish RWA = Rain Water ESS = Sediment SWA = Surface Water FPB = Beef THB = Bovine Thyroid FPV = Food Products, Various VGT = Fodder Crops WWA =Well Water The last four symbols are a location code based on direction and distance from the site. Of these, the first two represent each of the sixteen angular sectors of 22.5 degrees centered about the reactor site. Sector one is divided evenly by the north axis and other sectors are numbered in a clockwise direction; i.e., 2=NNE, 3=NE, 4=ENE, etc. The next digit is a letter which represents the radial distance from the plant:

S = On-site location E = 4-5 miles off-site A = 0-1 miles off-site F = 5-10 miles off-site B = 1-2 miles off-site G = 10-20 miles off-site C = 2-3 miles off-site H = >20 miles off-site.

D = 3-4 miles off-site The last number is the station numerical designation within each sector and zone; e.g., 1,2,3, *** For example, the designation SA-WWA-5Dl would indicate a sample in the SNGS program SA, consisting of well water (WWA), which had been collected in the 22.5 degree sector centered on east axis (5), at a distance of 3 to 4 miles off-site (D). The number 1 indicates that this is sampling station #1 in the designated area.

APPENDIX D SYNOPSIS OF ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES 83

GROSS ALPHA ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES Total Water (A0)

A 250 ml aliquot of the sample is evaporated to dryness on a hot plate in a preweighed, 211 X 1/4 11 ringed planchet, allowed to cool, and reweighed, The planchet is counted in a low-background, gas flow proportional counter.

Self-absorption corrections are made based on the measured sample weight and calculated thickness. The calibration standard used is Pu-239. A 250 ml sample of distilled water is evaporated in the same manner and used as a blank.

Air Particulates (AD)

After a decay period of three to seven days, to allow for the decay of short lived radium and thorium daughter products, the filters are counted in a gas-flow proportional counter for 100 minutes. The alpha activity per unit volume is calculated from the volume of air filtered. An unused filter is used as a blank.

GROSS BETA ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES total Water (B0)

A 250 ml aliquot is evaporated to dryness on a preweighed, 2" x 1/4 11 , ringed planchet and reweighed. The planchet is then counted in a low background gas-flow proportional counter. Self-absorption corrections are made based on the measured residue weight and calculated thickness. The calibration standard used is Sr Y-90. A 250 ml sample of distilled water is evaporated in the same manner and used as a blank.

Air Particulates (BD)

After a decay period of three to seven days, to allow for the decay of short lived radium and thorium daughter products, the filters are counted in a gas-flow proportional counter for 20 minutes. The beta activity is calculated from the volume of air filtered. An unused filter paper is used as a blank.

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR TRITIUM Water (H2)

A 15 ml aliquot of the sample is vacuum distilled to eliminate dissolved gasses and non-volatile matter. The distillate is frozen in a trap cooled with a dry ice-isopropanol mixture. Eight (8) ml of the distillate are mixed with ten (10) ml of Insta-Gel liquid scintillation solution. The sample is then counted for tritium in a liquid scintillation counter. A sample of low tritium(< 50 pCi/l) water is vacuum distilled as a blank and is counted with each batch pf samples.

In the calculation of the result it is assumed that the condensated and original sample are of equivalent volumes. The volume change associated with the removal of dissolved gases and non-volatile matter is not significant compared to the other errors in the analysis.

Aqueous and Organic .Fraction of Milk or Organic Solids (H3, H4)

A carefully measured aliquot of a food product such as milk or fish is dried in a rotating vacuum flash evaporator. During the evaporation process, the evaporated water fraction is trapped out by a dry ice-isopropanol mixture for counting as in (a) below. The dried residue is reserved for (b).

a. Aqueous H-3 in Food Products An eight (8) ml aliquot of the cold-trapped water is counted in a liquid scintillation counter in the same manner as surface water samples are counted.
b. Organic Bound H-3 in Food Products The dried residue is combusted in an RMC designed oxidizer. The collected water- organic fraction is measured and vacuum distilled to remove any impurities. Permanagate in KOH solution is added to remove impurities which may cause quenching. An eight (8) ml aliquot is counted in a liquid scintillation counter. If less than eight (8) ml are collected, the entire portion collected is carefully measured with a 10 ml pipette and then counted. A sample of deep well water is counted as a blank.

ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FOR IODINE-131 Milk or Water (I0)

The initial stable iodide concentration in milk is determined with an iodide ion specific electrode. Thirty milligrams of stable iodide carrier is then added to four (4) liters of milk. The iodide is removed from the milk by passage through ion-exchange resin. The iodide is eluted from the resin with sodium hypochlorite, and purified by a series of solvent extractions with the final extraction into a toluene phase. The toluene phase is mixed with a toluene-based liquid scintillation solution. The sample is then counted in a beta-gated gamma coincidence detector, shielded by six inches of steel. Distilled water is used as a blank. The yield is calculated from stable iodide recovery based on an average recovered volume of 13.2 ml. Results are corrected for decay from the sampling time to the middle of the counting period, using a half-life value for I-131 of 8.06 days.

Air Cartridges (Il}

An iodine absorber composed of charcoal is emptied into an aluminum can (6 ems high by 8 ems in diameter) and counted with a Na! (Tl) detector, coupled to a multi-channel pulse height analyzer.

Calculation of results and two sigma error The spectrum obtained is smoothed to eliminate spurious statistical noise. The presence of Iodine-131 is identified by the presence of a 364 Kev peak. The peak is fitted with a Gaussian curve and the net counting rate above the base-line projection is calculated. This counting rate is converted to activity in curie uni ts, making allowance for counting efficiency and photon abundance *.

A PDP-11 computer program is used for spectrum analysis.

ENVIRONMENTAL DOSIMETRY (D0)

Measurement Techniques Each dosimeter utilized is a capillary tube containing calcium sulfate (Tm) powder as the TLD material. This was chosen primarily for its high light output, minimal thermally induced.signal loss (fading), and lack of self-dosing. The energy response curve has been flattened by a complex multiple element energy compensation shield supplied by Panasonic Corporation, manufacturer of the TLD reader. The four dosimeters per station are sealed in a polyethylene bag to demonstrate integrity at time of measurement.

Visible through the bag are the sample placement instructions. One set of TLDs is placed in a lead shield at RMC and represents a zero dose. The TLDs are then taken and placed in the field stations; one field TLD set is placed in a field lead shield at station 18 and is used in calculating the intransit dose.

Following the pre-designated exposure period the TLD is heated with hot gas and the luminescense measured with a TLD reader. Data are normalized to standard machine conditions by correcting.machine settings to zero before read out. Data are corrected for in-transit dose using a set of TLDs ~hi ch is kept in a lead shield in the field and only exposed during transit. Average dose per exposure period, and its error, are calculated.

The basic calibration is in mR exposure to a standard Cs-137 source. This is converted to absorbed dose in tissue by the factor .: 0.9555 rad/ Roentgen and to dose equivalent by using a quality factor of 1.
