ABSTRACT The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) is an ongoing program conducted by Arizona Public Service Company (APS) for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS). Various types of environmental samples are collected near PVNGS and analyzed for plant-related radionuclide concentrations.

During 2019, the following categories of samples were collected by APS:

Broadleaf vegetation Groundwater Drinking water Surface water Airborne particulate and radioiodine Goat milk Sludge and sediment Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure environmental gamma radiation.

The Environmental TLD program is also conducted by APS.

The Arizona Department of Health Services, Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) performs radiochemistry analyses on various duplicate samples provided to them by APS. Samples analyzed by BRC include onsite samples from the Reservoirs, Evaporation Ponds, and two (2)

Deep Wells. Offsite samples analyzed by BRC include two (2) local resident wells. BRC also performs air sampling at seven (7) offsite locations identical to APS and maintains approximately fifty (50) environmental TLD monitoring locations, eighteen (18) of which are duplicates of APS locations.

A comparison of pre-operational and operational data indicates no changes to environmental radiation levels.

(NOTE: Reference to APS throughout this report refers to PVNGS personnel)

1. Introduction This report presents the results of the operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program conducted by Arizona Public Service Company (APS). The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) was established for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) by APS in 1979.

This report contains the measurements and findings for 2019. All references are specifically identified in Section 12.

1.1 Overview The Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) provides representative measurements of radiation and radioactive materials in exposure pathways. REMP measures radionuclides that lead to the highest potential radiation exposures to members of the public resulting from station operation. This monitoring program implements Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 50, Appendix I,Section IV.B.2., and thereby supplements the radiological effluent monitoring program by verifying that the measurable concentrations of radioactive materials and levels of radiation are not higher than expected on the basis of the effluent measurements and the modeling of the environmental exposure pathways. Guidance for this monitoring program is provided by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) in their Radiological Assessment Branch Technical Position on Environmental Monitoring, Revision 1, November 1979 (incorporated into NUREG 1301). Results from the REMP help to evaluate sources of elevated levels of radioactivity in the environment (i.e. atmospheric nuclear detonations or abnormal plant releases).

The Land Use Census ensures that changes in the use of areas at, and beyond the site boundary, are identified and that modifications to the REMP are made if required by the results of this census. This census satisfies the requirements of Section IV.B.3 of Appendix I to 10 CFR Part 50.

The Interlaboratory Comparison Program is provided to ensure that independent checks on the precision and accuracy of the measurements of radioactive material in environmental sample matrices are performed as part of the quality assurance program for environmental monitoring in order to demonstrate that the results are valid for the purposes of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, Section IV.B.2.

Results of the PVNGS pre-operational environmental monitoring program are presented in Reference 1.

The initial criticality of Unit 1 occurred May 25, 1985. Initial criticality for Units 2 and 3 were April 18, 1986, and October 25, 1987, respectively. PVNGS operational findings (historical) are presented in Reference 2.

1.2 Radiation and Radioactivity Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter. Unstable atoms emit radiation and material that spontaneously emits radiation is referred to as radioactive. Radioactive material is frequently categorized as either Natural or Man-made Natural sources of radiation exist naturally in the environment and include: radon, thoron, cosmic, terrestrial, and internal. The sun and stars are a source of cosmic radiation.

Atmospheric conditions, the Earths magnetic field, and differences in elevation can affect the amount, or dose, of cosmic radiation an individual receives. The Earth is a source of terrestrial radiation. Uranium, thorium, and radium exist naturally in rock and soil. All organic matter contains carbon and potassium, and water contains small amounts of dissolved uranium and thorium. The largest contributor of dose to Americans from natural sources is attributed to radon which is found in air. All people are a source of internal radiation. Potassium-40 and carbon-14 are radioactive nuclides and inside all people from birth, making people a source of exposure.

Man-made sources of radiation include: consumer products, nuclear medicine, and medical procedures. There are a number of occupational areas which result in exposure to individuals of varying amounts of radiation such as: radiography, radiology, radiation oncology, power generation, and research laboratories. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires licensees to monitor exposure to workers and limit occupational exposure to 5,000 millirem per year. Several consumer products contain radioactive material such as: some ceramics, thorium lantern mantles, luminous watches containing tritium, smoke detectors, and tobacco. Other consumer product sources of radiation can come from building and road construction materials, combustible fuels (i.e. gas, coal), and x-ray security systems. The most significant contributor to radiation exposure from man-made sources is medical procedures. Diagnostic x-rays and nuclear medicine procedures, such as those that use iodine-131 or cesium-137, are examples of man-made medical sources.

The average member of the public receives a total annual dose of approximately 620 millirem from ionizing radiation. Figure 1-1 illustrates the contribution of various sources of radiation to radiation exposure in the United States (NCRP Report No. 160 (2009)).

2. Description of the Monitoring Program APS and vendor organizations performed the pre-operational Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program between 1979 and 1985. APS and vendors continued the program into the operational phase.

2.1 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program The assessment program consists of routine measurements of environmental gamma radiation and of radionuclide concentrations in media such as air, groundwater, drinking water, surface water, vegetation, milk, sludge, and sediment.

Samples were collected by APS at the monitoring sites shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-2. The specific sample types, sampling locations, and sampling frequencies, as set forth in the PVNGS Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), Reference 4, are presented in Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 9-1. Additional onsite sampling (outside the scope of the ODCM) is performed to supplement the REMP. All results are included in this report. Routine sample analyses were performed at the onsite Central Chemistry Laboratory and Operating Unit laboratories. Analyses for hard-to-detect radionuclides were performed by GEL Laboratories LLC.

Environmental gamma radiation measurements were performed by APS using TLDs at fifty (50) locations near PVNGS. The PVNGS Dosimetry Department is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to process personnel ionizing radiation dosimeters.

In addition to monitoring environmental media, a Land Use Census is performed annually to identity the nearest milk animals, residents, and gardens. This information is used to evaluate the potential dose to members of the public for those exposure pathways that are indicated.

2.2 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program Changes for 2019 Two (2) onsite groundwater wells. Site 58A (Well 27dcb) and Site 65 (Well 34aab) were added to the ODCM. These wells were sampled as supplemental sites prior to the July 2019 revision of the ODCM, at which time they were added to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program. There were no other changes to the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program that impacted the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) Revision 28.

2.3 REMP Deviations/Abnormal Events Summary During calendar year 2019, there were eleven (11) deviations/abnormal events with regards to the monitoring program. Refer to Table 2-3 for more detail and corrective actions taken.

There was eight (8) events involving Air Sample data. Six (6) events involved reduced sampling period due to pump failure, either due to pump malfunction or loss of power to the pump. Two (2) events were due to failure of the Elapsed Time Meter (ETM). Three (3) of these eight (8) events resulted in sufficient data to obtain VALID results for the sampling period, while five (5) events resulted in the determination that the sample was INVALID. Palo Verde Nuclear PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 4

Generating Station has ten (10) Air Sample sites: one (1) control, four (4) ODCM required, and five (5) supplemental sites. Supplemental sampling locations were available and produced valid data for the sampling period involving an invalid sample from a required sample location.

Two (2) events were due to the inability to obtain a Drinking Water Sample, resulting from an inoperable well pump at the donor location. One (1) event impacted the ability to meet the required Lower Limit of Detection for La-140. One (1) event resulted in the inability to collect the drinking water sample from the location for the month of December.

There was one (1) event involving environmental dosimetry; dosimetry at Site 47 was identified as missing during the 2"*^ Quarter TLD change-out. Data for this location was unavailable for the 1* quarter.

2.4 Groundwater Protection PVNGS has implemented a groundwater protection initiative developed by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). The implementing guidance of this initiative, NEI 07-07 (Industry Ground Water Protection Initiative - Final Guidance Document, August 2007), and later revised in March of 2019, provides added assurance that groundwater will not be adversely affected by PVNGS operations.

Several monitoring wells have been installed to monitor the subsurface water and shallow aquifer at Units 1, 2, and 3. Many of these wells were previously monitored in accordance with the State of Arizona Aquifer Protection Permit (Area-Wide) No. P-100388 (APP), which provided agreed upon monitoring parameters and reporting thresholds. The APP was revised in 2018, which included the removal of several of the wells from mandated sampling. These wells are now referred to as Legacy Wells and continue to be sampled for data continuity and in support of the Groundwater Protection Initiative. The frequency of sampling of the wells varies and may be done monthly, quarterly, and or annually for chemical and radiological parameters.

Sample results for the shallow aquifer wells are reported in the PVNGS Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report (ARERR).

Three subsurface samples were obtained, one each from Units 2 and 3 tritium monitoring wells, and one from the shallow aquifer outside of the Unit 1 Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA).

These samples were analyzed for hard-to-detect radionuclides (e.g. C-14, Fe-55, Ni-63, Sr-90) as verification that there are no underground leaks from plant systems that may affect groundwater. All results were <MDA. Refer to Table 8-12 for sample results.

3. Sample Collection Program APS Personnel, using PVNGS procedures, collected all samples.

3.1 Water Weekly samples were collected from four (4) residence wells for monthly and quarterly composites. Samples were collected in one-gallon containers (plastic cubitainers) and 500 mL glass bottles. The samples were analyzed for gross beta, gamma-emitting radionuclides, and tritium.

Quarterly grab samples were collected from the 45 and 85 acre Reservoirs, active Evaporation Ponds 1A/B/C, 2A/B, and 3A/B, and onsite wells 34abb, 27ddc, 34aab, and 27dcb.

Samples were collected in one-gallon containers (plastic cubitainers) and 500 mL glass bottles.

Samples were analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides and tritium.

Treated sewage effluent from the City of Phoenix was sampled as a weekly composite at the onsite Water Resources (WR), and analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides. A monthly composite was analyzed for tritium.

3.2 Vegetation Vegetation samples were collected monthly, as available, and were analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides.

3.3 Milk Goat milk samples were collected monthly, as available, and were analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides, including low level 1-131.

3.4 Air Air particulate filters and charcoal cartridges were collected at ten (10) sites on a weekly basis. Particulate filters were analyzed for gross beta. Charcoal cartridges were analyzed for Iodine-131. Particulate filters were composited quarterly, by location, and analyzed for gamma-emitting radionuclides.

4. Analytical Procedures The procedures described in this report are those used by APS to routinely analyze samples 4.1 Air Particulate 4.1.1 Gross Beta A glass fiber filter sample is placed in a stainless steel planchet and counted for gross beta activity utilizing a low background gas flow proportional counter.

4.1.2 Gamma Spectroscopy The glass fiber filters are counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with a High-purity Germanium (HPGe) detector. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

4.2 Airborne Radioiodine 4.2.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The charcoal cartridge is counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with an HPGe detector. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for Iodine-131.

4.3 Milk 4.3.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The sample is placed in a plastic marinelli beaker and counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with an HPGe detector. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

4.3.2 Radiochemical 1-131 Separation Iodine in milk sample is reduced with sodium bisulfite and iodine is absorbed by the anion exchange resin. The iodine is eluted with NaOCl. Iodine is extracted from the sample with carbon tetrachloride. The iodine is back extracted from the organic phase with water containing sodium bisulfate and then precipitated as Cul. The precipitate is mounted in a planchet and counted for gross beta.

4.4 Vegetation 4.4.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The sample is pureed in a food processor, placed in a one liter plastic marinelli beaker, weighed, and counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with an HPGe detector. The PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 13

resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

4.5 Sludge/Sediment 4.5.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The wet/dry sample is placed in a one-liter plastic marinelli beaker, weighed, and counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with an HPGe detector. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

4.6 Water 4.6.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The sample is placed in a one-liter plastic marinelli beaker and counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with a HPGe detector. The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

4.6.2 Tritium The sample is evaluated to determine the appropriate method of preparation prior to counting. If the sample contains suspended solids or is turbid, it may be filtered, distilled, and/or de-ionized, as appropriate. Eight (8) milliliters of sample are mixed with fifteen (15) milliliters of liquid scintillation cocktail. The mixture is dark adapted and counted for tritium activity using a liquid scintillation counting system.

4.6.3 Gross Beta A 200-250 milliliter sample is placed in a beaker. Five (5) milliliters of concentrated nitric (HNO3) acid is added and the sample is evaporated down to about twenty (20) milliliters. The remaining sample is transferred to a stainless steel planchet. The sample is heated to dryness and counted for gross beta in a gas flow proportional counter.

4.7 Soil 4.7.1 Gamma Spectroscopy The samples are sieved, placed in a one-liter plastic marinelli beaker, and weighed. The samples are then counted on a multichannel analyzer equipped with an HPGe detector.

The resulting spectrum is analyzed by a computer for specific radionuclides and verified by trained technicians.

6. Isotopic Detection Limits and Reporting Criteria 6.1 Lower Limits of Detection The lower limits of detection (LLD) and the method for calculation are specified in the PVNGS ODCM, Reference 4. The ODCM required a priori LLDs are presented in Table 6-1.

6.2 Data Reporting Criteria All results that are greater than the Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) (a posteriori LLD) are reported as positive activity with its associated 2a counting error. All results that are less than the MDA are reported as less than values at the associated MDA. For example, if the MDA is 12 pCi/liter, the value is reported as <12.

Typical MDA values are presented in Table 6-3.

Occasionally, the PVNGS ODCM a priori LLDs may not be achieved as a result of:

Background fluctuations Unavoidably small sample sizes The presence of interfering radionuclides Self-absorption corrections Decay corrections for short half-life radionuclides Other uncontrollable circumstances In these instances, the contributing factors will be noted in the table where the data are presented. A summary of deviations/abnormal events is presented in Table 2-3 Summaries of the REMP Deviations/Abnormal Events and includes a description of any sample results that did not meet a priori LLD requirements.

6.3 LLD and Reporting Criteria Overview Making a reasonable estimate of the limits of detection for a counting procedure or a radiochemical method is usually complicated by the presence of significant background. It must be considered that the background or blank is not a fixed value but that a series of replicates would be normally distributed. The desired net activity is the difference between the gross and background activity distributions. The interpretation of this difference becomes a problem if the two distributions intersect as indicated in the diagram.

PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 16

BACKGROUND GROSS If a sufficient number of replicate analyses are run, it is expected that the results would fall in a normal Gaussian distribution. Standard statistics allow an estimate of the probability of any particular deviation from the mean value. It is common practice to report the mean +/-

one or two standard deviations as the result. In routine analysis, such replication is not carried out, and it is not possible to report a Gaussian standard deviation. With counting procedures, however, it is possible to estimate a Poisson standard deviation directly from the count. Data are commonly reported as the measured value +/- one or two Poisson standard deviations. The reported values are then considered to give some indication of the range in which the true value might be expected to occur.

LLD is the smallest amount of sample activity that will yield a net count for which there is confidence at a predetermined level that activity is present. LLDs are calculated values for individual radionuclides based on a number of different factors including sample size, counting efficiency and background count rate of the instrument, the background and sample counting time, the decay time, and the chemical recovery of the analytical procedures. A minimum detectable activity value (MDA) is the smallest amount of activity that can be detected in an actual sample and uses the values obtained from the instrument and outcome of the analytical process. Therefore, the MDA values may differ from the calculated LLD values if the sample size and chemical recovery, decay values, or the instrument efficiency, background, or count time differed from those used in the LLD calculation.

The factors governing the calculation of the LLD and MDA values are discussed below:

1. Sample Size: The number of observations included in a statistical analysis.

Sample size dictates the amount of information available about a studied subject to make accurate inferences.

2. Counting Efficiency: The fundamental quantity in the measurement of a radioactive substance is the number of disintegrations per unit time. As with most physical measurements in analytical chemistry, an absolute measurement of the disintegration rate is seldom possible, rather it is necessary to compare the sample with one or more standards. The standards determine the counter efficiency that may then be used to convert sample counts per minute (cpm) to disintegrations per minute (dpm).

PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 17

3. Background Count Rate: Any counter will show a certain counting rate without a sample in position. This background counting rate comes from several sources; 1) natural environmental radiation from the surrounding materials, 2) cosmic radiation, and 3) the natural radioactivity in the counter material itself. The background counting rate will depend on the amounts of these types of radiation and the sensitivity of the counter to the radiation.

4. Background and Sample Counting Time: The amount of time devoted to the counting of the 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.

5. Time Interval between Sample Collection and Counting: Decay measurements are useful in identifying certain short-lived nuclides. The disintegration constant is one of the basic characteristics of a specific radionuclide and is readily determined, if the half-life is sufficiently short.

To ensure the required LLDs are achieved, appropriate decay correction values are used to account for radioactive decay during transit time and sample processing.

8. Data Interpretation and Conclusions Associated with the analytical process are potential random and systematic errors. Systematic errors can be caused by instrument malfunctions, incomplete precipitation, back scattering, and self-absorption.

Efforts are made to minimize both systematic and random errors in the data reported. Systematic errors are minimized by performing reviews throughout the analysis. For example, instruments are checked routinely with radioactive sources, and recovery and self-absorption factors based on individual sample analyses are incorporated into the calculation equations where necessary. Random errors are reduced by comparing all data to historical data for the same site and performing comparisons between analytical results when available. In addition, when data do not appear to match historical results, analyses may be rerun on a separate aliquot of the sample to verify the presence of the activity. The acceptance of data is dependent upon the results of quality control samples and is part of the data review process for all analytical results.

The "plus or minus value" reported with each analytical result represents the counting error associated with the result and gives the 95% confidence (2a) interval around the data.

Most samples contain radioactivity associated with natural background/cosmic radioactivity (e.g. K-40, Th-234, Be-7). Gross beta results for drinking water and air are due to natural background. Gamma-emitting radionuclides, which can be attributed to natural background sources, are not indicated in this report.

Results and interpretation of the data for all of the samples analyzed during 2019 are presented in the following sections.

8.1 Air Particulates Weekly gross beta results, in quarterly format, are presented in Table 8-1 and Table 8-2. Gross beta activity at indicator locations ranged from 0.011 to 0.075 pCi/m^. Mean quarterly activity is normally calculated using weekly activity over a thirteen (13) week period. Also presented in the tables are the weekly mean values of all the sites as well as the percent relative standard deviation (RSD %) for the data.

Table 8-3 displays the results of gamma spectroscopy on the quarterly composites of the weekly samples.

No plant-related activity was identified 8.2 Airborne Radioiodine Table 8-4 and Table 8-5 present the quarterly radioiodine results. Radioiodine was not observed in any samples.

8.3 Vegetation Table 8-6 presents gamma isotopic data for the vegetation samples. No gamma-emitting radionuclides were observed in any of the samples.

PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 27

8.4 Milk Table 8-7 presents gamma isotopic data for the goat milk samples. No gamma-emitting radionuclides were observed in any of the samples.

8.5 Drinking Water Samples were analyzed for gross beta, tritium, and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Results of these analyses are presented in Table 8-8. No tritium or gamma-emitting radionuclides were detected in any samples. Gross beta activity ranged from less than detectable to a high of 8.75 pCi/liter. The gross beta activity is attributable to natural (background) radioactive materials.

8.6 Groundwater Groundwater samples were analyzed from two onsite wells (regional aquifer) for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides. Results obtained from the analysis of the samples are presented in Table 8-9.

No tritium or gamma-emitting radionuclides were observed in any of the samples.

8.7 Surface Water Surface water samples from the Reservoirs and Evaporation Ponds were analyzed for tritium and gamma-emitting radionuclides. The two Reservoirs contain processed sewage water from the City of Phoenix and are approximately 45 and 85 acres in size. The three Evaporation Ponds receive mostly circulating water from main turbine condenser cooling and are about 200-250 acres each.

Sample results are presented in Table 8-10. 1-131 was observed in both reservoirs and Evaporation Pond IB. The 1-131 levels ranged from 13 pCi/L - 17 pCi/L. 1-131 in these surface water locations is a result of radiopharmaceutical 1-131 in the Phoenix sewage effluent and is not attributable to plant effluents.

Tritium was routinely observed in the Evaporation Ponds. The highest concentration was 1086 pCi/liter.

Tritium was not detected in the Reservoirs. The tritium identified in the Evaporation Ponds has been attributed to permitted plant gaseous effluent releases and secondary plant liquid discharges (e.g.

condensate overboard discharge, secondary side steam generator drains, secondary plant sumps, demineralizer regeneration waste). The tritium concentrations were compared to historical values and are considered typical for the Evaporation Ponds.

Low levels of Cs-137 has been detected in Evaporation Pond 3A. Evaporation Pond 3A is in the process of being drained for liner repairs. The water inventory is very low, such that the sampling tool comes into contact with the bottom and sides of the pond, resulting in a small amount of salt and sediment intrude into the water sample. Evaporation Pond 3A has not received any influent from the plant since 2016, and the low levels of Cs-137 was not detectable until the water inventory in the pond was low, such that sampling tools also came into contact with the salt and/or sediment during sampling. The low levels of Cs-137 is consistent with diluted background levels seen in preoperational sediment analysis, and is attributed sediment intrusion from the surrounding area. No action levels have been exceeded.

PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 28

8.8 Sludge and Sediment 8.8.1 WR Centrifuge Waste Sludge Sludge samples were obtained from the WR centrifuge and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. 1-131 activity in the sludge is consistent with historical values and, as previously discussed, is due to radiopharmaceuticals in the WR Influent. The concentration of 1-131 ranged from no detectable to 1020 pCi/kg.

Results for WR centrifuge waste sludge can be found in Table 8-11.

8.8.2 Cooling Tower Sludge Sludge/sediment originating from the Unit 1 and Unit 3 Cooling Towers and Circulating Water canals was disposed of in the WR sludge landfill during 2019. Sample results can be found in Table 8-11.

8.9 Data Trends Figure 8-1 through Figure 8-8 present data in graphical format. Historical data are displayed for comparison where practical.

8.10 Hard-To-Detect Radionuclide Results Table 8-12 shows the results of the three subsurface samples obtained from 3 tritium monitoring points.

These samples were analyzed for hard-to-detect radionuclides (e.g. C-14, Fe-55, Ni-63, Sr-90) and all results were <MDA. These results indicate that no leaks from plant systems have affected groundwater.

9. Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) Results and Data The environmental TLD used at PVNGS is the Panasonic Model 812 Dosimeter. The Model 812 is a multi-element dosimeter combining two elements of lithium borate and two elements of calcium sulfate under various filters.
TLDs were placed in fifty locations from one to thirty-five miles from the PVNGS. TLD locations are shown in Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2 and are described in Table 9-1. TLD results for 2019 are presented in Table 9-2. Definitions for Table 9-2 are as follows:
MDDq; Minimum differential dose, quarterly, 3 times 90* percentile sQ determined from analysis (mRem).
MDDa: Minimum differential dose, annual, 3 times 90*** percentile sA determined from analysis (mRem).
Bq: Quarterly baseline (mRem) (average of previous 5 years)
Mq: Locations 91 day standard quarter normalized dose (mRem per standard quarter)
Lq: Quarterly investigation level dose (mRem)
Ba: Baseline background dose (mRem) (annual)
Ma: Annual monitoring data - MA determined by normalizing available quarterly data to 4 full quarters La: Annual investigation level dose (mRem)
ND: Non Detectable The baseline is calculated as the average of the previous 5 year measurements. The minimum differential dose (MDD) is calculated as 3 times the 90'* percentile standard deviation of the data from the previous 5 years; quarterly MDD is calculated using the quarterly data and annual MDD is calculated using the annual summation of the quarterly data. Investigation level is calculated by the difference of the data measurement and the baseline; results less than, or equal to the MDD are Non Detectable (ND) and any result exceeding the MDD meets the threshold for the investigation level.
Locations exceeding the investigation level will be evaluated for cause and impact to the public and environment.
Historical environmental gamma radiation results for 1985 through 2019 are presented in graphical form on Figure 9-1 (excluding transit control TLD #45). Figure 9-2 depicts the environmental TLD results from 2019 as compared to the pre-operational TLD results (excluding sites #41 and #43, as they were deleted and later assigned to a new location, and #46-50, as they had no pre-op TLD at the location for comparison). The site to site comparisons indicate a direct correlation with respect to pre-operational results. It is indicated that the offsite dose, as measured by TLDs, has not changed since Palo Verde became operational.

~~~~10. Land Use Census 10.1 Introduction In accordance with the PVNGS ODCM, Section 6.2, the field portion of the annual Land Use Census was performed by June 2019.~~~~
Observations were made in each of the 16 meteorological sectors to determine the nearest milking animals, residences, and gardens of greater than 500 square feet. This census was completed by driving the roads and speaking with residents.
The results of the Land Use Census are presented in Table 10-1 and discussed below. The directions and distances listed are in sectors and miles from the Unit 2 containment.
10.2 Census Results The 2019 Land Use Census results identified new potential Radiological Effluent Release Report dose receptor locations. Each location was evaluated. The changes identified, and the evaluation results, are described below.
Nearest Resident There was one (1) change in nearest resident status from the previous year. Dose calculations indicated the highest dose to be 0.697 mrem.
Milk Animal There were four (4) changes in milk animal status from the previous year. There were six (6) of the locations that were identified in the census which had the potential for having a dose greater than 20% that of our current sampling location with the lowest dose potential. The locations were visited by the REMP manager to evaluate program participation potential. As of October, 2019, five (5) of the locations no longer had goats, and one (1) location had only male goats. Dose calculations indicated the highest dose to be 0.737 mrem.
Vegetable Gardens There was no change in the nearest gardens identified in the previous year. Dose calculations indicated the highest dose to be 0.239 mrem.
See Table 10-1 for a summary of the specific results and Table 2-1 for current sample locations. Figure 10-1 through Figure 10-3 provide graphs depicting historical calculated doses for nearest residents, nearest milk receptor, and nearest garden receptor locations in each sector.
Differences in calculated doses are the result of many variables, including;
~~~~Changes in receptor locations from year to year (proximity to the power plant)~~~~
~~~~Changes in local meteorology (wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, and temperature)~~~~
~~~~Concurrent meteorology at the time of effluent releases~~~~
~~~~Exposure pathways PVNGS ANNUAL RADIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REPORT-2019 Page 61~~~~

11. Summary and Conclusions Summary The conclusions are based on a review of the radioassay results and environmental gamma radiation measurements for the 2019 calendar year. Where possible, the data were compared to pre-operational sample data.
All sample results for 2019 are presented in Table 8-1 through Table 8-12 and do not include observations of naturally occurring radionuclides, with the exception of gross beta in air and gross beta in drinking water. Table 11-1 summarizes the ODCM required samples and is in the format required by the BTP on Environmental Monitoring.
1-131 identified in the evaporation ponds, Water Resources influent. Water Resources centrifuge sludge, and reservoirs is the result of offsite sources and appears in the effluent sewage from Phoenix. The levels of 1-131 detected in these locations are consistent with levels identified in previous years.
Cs-137 was detected in one Evaporation Pond 3 A sample. The sample result was 41 pCi/L +/- 9 pCi/L.
The required lower limit of detection for Cs-137 in water is 18 pCi/L; the action level for Cs-137 in water is 50 pCi/L. Evaporation Pond 3A has not received any influent during 2019 and is being drained to another evaporation pond to make repairs to the top liner. The water inventory in Evaporation Pond 3A is low, such that sediment that has collected in the pond was unavoidably collected in the sample. Cs-137 is known to bind to sediment, and the levels detected in the water sample is consistent with what was found in the preoperational soils in the surrounding area as a result of atmospheric bomb testing.
Tritium concentrations identified in surface water onsite have been attributed to PVNGS permitted gaseous effluent releases and secondary plant releases. These concentrations are consistent with historical values.
Environmental radiation levels are consistent with measurements reported in previous Pre-operational and Operational Radiological Environmental annual reports. References 1 and 2.
Conclusion There was no measurable radiological impact on the environment in 2019 resulting from the operation of PVNGS.
