REPORT,

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

This report contains results from the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station (RSNS) compiled for the period January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007. The Radiation Protection/ Chemistry Group at RSNS conducts this program in accordance with the REMP manual. This report is compiled and submitted in accordance with the Rancho Seco Quality Manual, Appendix A, Section 1.5.2.3 [RS02].

The results of the 2007 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program showed that the operation of Rancho Seco Nuclear Station had no significant radiological impact on the environment.

Currently, the Plant is permanently shutdown and undergoing Decommissioning. During 2007 the major project for Decommissioning was the demolition of the concrete walls and floors in the Reactor Building. This project is scheduled for completion in May 2008.

During 2007 the Onsite liquid effluent Retention Basins were removed as part of the Decommissioning process. The Offsite Dose Calculation Manual was revised to indicate that there was no longer a major liquid source term and the retention basins were no longer required to be in place for the discharge of radioactive liquid effluents. The REMP was not revised to eliminate monitoring of the liquid effluent pathway to provide for post-operational data for this pathway.

Currently, the remaining pathways for the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station are:

1. Airborne gaseous pathway from the Reactor Building and Interim Onsite Storage Building (Radwaste storage)

2. Direct radiation pathway, with the primary source being the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Instillation (ISFSI)

During the reporting period, the atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic environs adjacent to RSNS were monitored. The sample measurements showed that the levels of radioactivity in the sampled media were consistent with previous year's evaluations. All detected nuclides (greater than minimum detected activity) were below the required Nuclear Regulatory commission (NRC) reporting levels. All Lower Limits of Detection (LLD) were at or lower than the maximum required by the NRC.

Doses resulting from ambient exposure to terrestrial and atmospheric direct radiation sources were measured through the placement and retrieval of Luxel monitoring badges. Direct radiation measurements attributable to Station operations, based on control and indicator locations, were indistinguishable above background levels. Two monitoring badge locations, placed in an area near the effluents discharge stream are being used to evaluate the higher than average soil activity.

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

(Continued)

This activity is a result of historic monitored liquid effluent releases during Station operation.

One monitoring badge location in this area is indicating dose higher than the indicator average.

The dose at this location does not exceed the regulatory limits of 10 CFR Part 20. Onsite Luxel badge locations near the ISFSI access road show higher readings, attributed to the ISFSI, and are within design calculations.

Isotopic identifications were consistent with known releases of radioactive material from the Station to the atmospheric and aquatic environments. As expected, fish and sediment samples obtained, from the environment of the No Name and Clay Creeks contributed the majority of positive isotopic identifications. Cesium-137 and Cobalt-60 are the predominant nuclides identified in the aquatic environment.

LAND USE CENSUS The 2006 Land Use Census was conducted in accordance with the Rancho Seco Quality Manual [RS02] Section 1.4.3.2 and the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) manual section 4.0. This evaluation is in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, section IV.B.3. The land use census is performed on a biennial schedule and was performed during 2005/ 2006 and then completed in 2007. See Appendix A for results from this Land Use Census. The next land use census is scheduled to be conducted during 2007/ 2008 and completed in 2009.

RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT EVALUATION PREDICTED POTENTIAL RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT Gaseous Effluent Exposure Pathways The maximum calculated annual organ dose due to gaseous releases of tritium and particulate isotopes was 1.94 E -02 mRem (as calculated using the Rancho Seco Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM)). This calculated organ dose was 1.29 E -01% of the associated Rancho Seco Quality Manual (RSQM) [RS02] limit (10CFR50, Appendix I guideline).

Noble gases were not released in 2007 and therefore no dose calculations for noble gases were necessary.

Liquid Effluent Exposure Pathways During 2007, 2.78 E+06 liters of wastewater were released into "No Name" Creek from the two-onsite Retention Basins. This volume of wastewater was dispersed into 1.60 E+10 liters of dilution water. The estimated error associated with determining these volumes were 5% and 20%, respectively.

The Liquid source term resulted in a calculated annual child total body dose of 1.04 E -01 mRem and a calculated child bone dose of 3.96 E -01 mRem (as calculated using the ODCM).

These calculated doses were 3.47% and 3.96%, respectively, of the associated 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I guidelines. The total body and organ doses reflect the age group(s) that could have received the highest annual dose from the liquid source term.

This information is summarized in Table 1.

RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT EVALUATION (Continued)

FUEL CYCLE DOSE EVALUATION REMP Manual section 8.14 requires each Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report (AREOR) to include information related to REMP manual section 5.0; Fuel Cycle Dose.

The Fuel Cycle Dose Specification limits the dose or dose commitment to any real member of the public to 25 mRem to the total body or any organ, except the thyroid which is limited to 75 mRem. This specification implements requirements promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency [CFRd].

Consistent with REMP manual section 5.0, no fuel cycle dose evaluation was required to be performed during 2007 since no REMP measurement exceeded the established reporting levels. Additionally, the Station effluent dose predictions did not exceed twice the dose guidelines of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I [CFRc]. The station operated within the Appendix I guidelines envelope for radioactive effluents (a condition supported by Program measurements); therefore, determination of an actual dose commitment delivered to a real member of the public was not required.

OBSERVED POTENTIAL RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT Gaseous Effluent Exposure Pathways The calculated gaseous effluent dose of 1.94 E -02 mRem [RS01] is based on tritium and particulate activity. The observed dose calculation, if completed, using the gross beta data (which is primarily due to naturally occurring radioisotopes) would not provide an accurate correlation with the predicted tritium and particulate activity dose calculations. Also, none of the REMP quarterly air filter composite gamma isotopic analysis results for the airborne pathway indicated the presence of nuclides of Station origin. Therefore, no dose comparison was completed.

Direct Radiation Exposure Pathway Based on Luxel control and indicator locations measurement results obtained during 2007, the Station proper did not contribute an observable component to the recorded direct gamma radiation field. This Luxel data supports the Gaseous Effluent Exposure Pathway conclusions and supports the conclusion that the Plant has no direct radiation effect on the environment.

Luxel monitoring badges placed near the effluent stream was used to evaluate the dose from this area. Dose levels at these locations are higher than the mean of the control and indicator locations reported. This above average dose is due to elevated soil activity due to historic liquid effluent releases. Luxel badge locations around the ISFSI outside fence (required by the ISFSI License) show higher readings, attributed to the fuel stored in the ISFSI, and are within design calculations.

RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT EVALUATION (Continued)

OBSERVED POTENTIAL RADIOLOGICAL IMPACT Liquid Effluent Exposure Pathways To evaluate the impact on the environment from the liquid effluent pathway, dose calculations were performed and compared with the annual dose commitment calculations reported in the January -December 2007 Rancho Seco Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report [RS01].

The observed results presented in Table 1 were obtained using the Cs-137 activity reported for the fish samples from 2007 (Appendix F, Table F-5), default consumption quantities for fish (ODCM), and nuclide-specific dose factors [NRC77].

As in past reports, the observed potential dose commitments listed in Table 1 are subject to uncertainty, principally due to the assumption that the observed radioactivity was due to 2007 Station operations only and was not affected by radioactivity introduced into the environment prior to 2007. A major portion of the activity identified by Program measurements in 2007 is attributable to historical releases documented in previous annual reports. Additionally, the observed dose commitment calculations are based on conservative default consumption factors for fish and garden.

The 2006 Land Use Census indicates the liquid/ fish pathway is a potential exposure pathway.

The fish pathway dose commitment calculation uses conservative default fish consumption factors instead of using actual Land Use Census data. Also, the dose commitment calculation uses fish sample analysis data derived from fish samples collected from the plant effluent stream.

PROGRAM ANALYSIS RESULTS

SUMMARY

This section compiles Program data with corresponding evaluations. Each of the following five subsections presents information about each of the principal environmental exposure pathways monitored by the Program:

=* Atmospheric (Section IV-A)

Direct Radiation (Section IV-B)

Terrestrial (Section IV-C)

=> Aquatic Life (Section IV-D)

Water (Section IV-E)

Each of these sections contains a data evaluation subsection, which provides a summary of the data collected.

Table 2 is a comprehensive, all-media data summary presented in a format considered acceptable by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Information contained in Table 2 was derived from' data presented in Appendix F.

IV-A. ATMOSPHERIC MONITORING DATA EVALUATION No radionuclides attributable to the operation of Rancho Seco were observed in gamma spectrometry analyses of the quarterly composites of the particulate filters.

Therefore, since all data was reported as being below the associated minimum detectable activity (MDA) for the nuclides of interest, no table is presented for the composite air filter data. The data indicates that there was no measurable contribution to the airborne radioactivity inventory that could reasonably be attributable to Station operations.

The results of the gross beta analyses of the particulate samples are given in Appendix F, Table F-I.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station 7

2007 AREOR

IV-B. DIRECT RADIATION MONITORING DATA EVALUATION A comparison review of all Luxel data for the indicator and control locations during 2007 showed that there was no observable direct radiation component due to Station operations (i.e., storage or utilization of licensed radioactive material within the restricted area.)

Two Luxel locations are being used to evaluate the dose in areas next to the effluent stream.

The data from these locations indicates doses are within regulatory limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

Luxel badge locations on the outside fence of the ISFSI show higher readings, but this is expected due to the spent fuel storage in the ISFSI. The results are within the design criteria and no license or regulatory limits were exceeded.

The summary data for 2007 direct radiation monitoring is presented in Table 2.

Comprehensive data tables are given in Appendix F, Table F-2.

IV-C. TERRESTRIAL MONITORING DATA EVALUATION Garden Vegetation - Three (3) garden vegetation samples were collected and analyzed for nuclides of interest during 2007. Gamma spectrometry analysis of the samples indicated results less than LLD. A site boundary irrigated garden has been utilized as a conservative method for evaluating the liquid effluent pathway. This method meets the requirement of the Land Use Census for monitoring gardens.

The summary data for 2007 terrestrial monitoring is presented in Table 2. Comprehensive data tables are given in the following Appendix F table:

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station 8

2007 AREOR

IV-D. AQUATIC LIFE MONITORING DATA EVALUATION Sediment - Twelve (12) samples of sediment were collected from the onsite discharge canal during 2007. Gamma spectrometry analysis of these samples indicated the presence of Cs-137 (12 samples, 27.7 to 489 pCi/kg, 171.0 pCi/kg mean), and Co-60 (6 samples, 5.93 to 14.8 pCi/kg, 10.7 pCi/kg mean).

The presence of nuclides of interest in sediments is attributed to historical permitted liquid effluent discharges.

Fish - Two (2) fish samples were collected during 2007 and analyzed for nuclides of interest by gamma spectrometry. Samples were collected in the effluent creek at the Site Boundary.

Gamma spectrometry analysis of these samples indicated the presence of Cs-137 (1 sample, 9.87 pCi/kg).

The summary data for the aquatic life-monitoring program is shown in Table 2.

Comprehensive data tables are given in the following Appendix F Tables:

F-4 Sediment F-5 Fish IV-E. WATER MONITORING DATA EVALUATION Well Water - Eight (8) well water samples were collected at indicator and control locations around the site during 2007. Tritium and gamma spectrometry analysis of the samples indicated results less than LLD. Gross beta activity levels for all samples were within regulatory limits.

Runoff Water - Thirty (30) runoff water samples were collected at the site boundary during 2007. Tritium and gamma spectrometry analysis of the samples indicated results less than LLD.

Surface Water - Five locations (3 indicator and 2 control) were included in the surface water-monitoring program. Composite samplers located at the Plant Intake (Folsom South Canal) and Effluent Discharge provides monthly composite samples. During 2007, 64 samples were collected and analyzed for nuclides of interest. Tritium and gamma spectrometry analysis of the samples indicated results less than LLD Rancho Seco Nuclear Station 6

IV-E. WATER MONITORING DATA EVALUATION (continued)

Drinking Water - Water supplied from two site wells is distributed in a potable water supply system for Station personnel consumption and use. On a monthly frequency, samples were collected and analyzed for nuclides of interest. A sample from the Rancho Seco Reservoir Well is collected as a control location. No gamma emitting isotopes were found present in the 36 samples collected in 2007. Gross Beta analysis showed activity within regulatory limits.

The summary data for the water-monitoring program is shown in Table 2. Comprehensive data tables are given in the following Appendix F Tables:

APPENDICES Rancho Seco Nuclear Station 18 2007 AREOR

APPENDIX A 2005/2006 LAND USE CENSUS RESULTS In compliance with the Rancho Seco Quality Manual [RS02] and the REMP Manual, section 4.0, "Land Use Census", a land use census was completed in March 2007. The method of conducting the primary survey was to use an aerial survey that was conducted during June 2006. Evaluating the aerial photographs continues to provide an accurate method of determining locations and distances of the nearest residences. The aerial photos also provided a method to identify any changes in the agricultural, commercial, residential, or industrial use of the land surrounding the site. The use of conservative dose factors for the purpose of projected dose calculations still requires that we evaluate the use of the area surrounding the site. The information that is presented is to verify this assumption and validate the process.

The land use census covered an area bounded by each of the sixteen meteorological sectors out to a two-mile radius from the Reactor Building.

The 2005/ 2006 Land Use Census did not identify any changes in the use of the unrestricted areas that would require modifications in the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program for evaluating doses to individuals from principal pathways of exposure. This evaluation and determination are in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix I, section IV.B.3.

The Land Use Census is completed on a b iennial schedule. Aerial surveys will be conducted during 2008 and the Gait Irrigation report covering 2007 and 2008 will be requested during the last quarter of 2007 and 2008 (respectively). This information will be used to complete the 2007/ 2008 census, which is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of 2009.

IRRIGATED CROP EXPOSURE PATHWAY

SUMMARY

Laguna Creek Gait Irrigation District The Gait Irrigation District's 2005 Crop Report stated 2470.179 acre-feet of Laguna Creek water was diverted for irrigation purposes during the 2005 crop production season. Crops irrigated were Oats, Corn, Clover, Pasture, Sudan, and Alfalfa over a total of 1021 acres.

The Gait Irrigation District's 2006 Crop Report stated 2438.851 acre-feet of Laguna Creek water was diverted for irrigation purposes during the 2006 crop production season. Crops irrigated were Corn, Clover, Pasture, Sudan, Ryegrass, and Alfalfa over a total of 1190 acres.

Rossini Farming Company In addition to the above, SMUD has contracted with Rossini Farming Co., the owners of the vineyards adjacent to Rancho Seco Station, to supply irrigation water from Clay Creek on an as needed basis.

The following information was reported by the SMUD Water and Power Group, which is responsible for monitoring the usage. For the years of 2005 and 2006 it was reported that

>500 Acre-feet of water was used from the effluent creek for irrigating purposes for the vineyards.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station A-4 2007 AREOR

D.

OTHER EXPOSURE PATHWAYS The 2005/2006 Land Use Census confirmed previous knowledge that the Clay/ Laguna '

Creeks are utilized by the general public for aquatic life -consumption purposes. Based on direct observation cattle consume water from the Clay, Hadselville, and Laguna Creeks.

Past census evaluations have been unsuccessful in determining the usage/ occupancy factors for this consumption. Therefore, insufficient data existed to justify ODCM usage factor modification.

E.

REMP EVALUATION An objective of the 2005/ 2006 Land Use Census was to compare census and current REMP Manual locations to ensure consistency exists between monitoring activities and actual land utilization. The following discussion is a summary of the comparison evaluation for each of the four exposure pathways.

Resident Exposure Pathway Luxel dosimetry and air particulate sampling and analysis monitor the inhalation and ground plane exposure pathways, the principal components of the Resident Exposure Pathway, directly and indirectly. Well water was monitored at two locations.

Since the existing REMP was more conservative with respect to Resident Exposure Pathway monitoring, no changes were required.

Deposition Exposure Pathway The Deposition Exposure Pathway is monitored directly within the Station Site Boundary through garden vegetation sampling and analysis. The potential for a deposition pathway has been evaluated by the ODCM and REMP programs and found to have little potential for the current plant status. Since the current REMP was representative and conservative with respect to Deposition Exposure Pathway monitoring, no changes were required.

Irri-iated Crop Exposure Pathway The REMP was effective in monitoring the identified irrigated crop exposure pathways. This conclusion was because the REMP included irrigated vegetation sampling.

REMP surface water surveillance activities monitor irrigation water radiological quality.

Current ODCM calculations are conservative since dilution effects are not included when predicting potential dose delivered through downstream pathways.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station A-5 2007 AREOR

E.

REMP EVALUATION (continued)

Other Exposure Pathways Existing aquatic life, surface water and sediment sampling analysis practices are effective in monitoring potential observable effects associated with recreational activities occurring at the Clay Creek, Hadselville Creek, Laguna Creek, Folsom South Canal and Rancho Seco Lake.

With respect to availability and quantity of food sources, the other identified consumption activities were considered inconsequential for pathway monitoring purposes.

No REMP changes were required to monitor other exposure pathways.

F.

ODCM EVALUATION Based on 2005/2006 Land Use Census findings, the following potential exposure pathways exist at the indicated locations:

LIQUID EFFLUENT Exposure Pathway Freshwater Fish Swimming Shoreline Deposits Irrigated vegetation Irrigated forage Drinking Water Location Clay Creek Clay Creek Clay Creek Clay Creek Clay Creek, Clay Creek Comment Recreation beyond the Site Boundary Recreation beyond the Site Boundary Recreation beyond the Site Boundary Commercial vineyards and potential residences beyond the site boundary Cattle grazing beyond the Site Boundary Cattle drinking water beyond the Site Boundary Rancho Seco Nuclear Station A-6 2007 AREOR

F.

ODCM EVALUATION (continued)

Specifying the Laguna Creek location also provides additional conservatism since the beneficial effects of downstream dilution are not considered when specifying effluent release restrictions.

As required by the 2005/ 2006 Land Use Census the above information for exposure pathways and locations was submitted for incorporation in the ODCM.

APPENDIX C QUALITY CONTROL SAMPLE ANALYSIS RESULTS QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL Implementation of the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) consists of a number of discrete steps including:

= Sample collection,

= Packaging, Shipment'and receipt,

= Measurements of radioactivity,

= Data evaluation, and

= Reporting.

These program elements are performed according to approved, written procedures to assure the validity of REMP results. This section discusses the internal quality control measurements made by the analysis laboratory, Eberline Services, and the results of their participation in the Interlaboratory Comparison Program implemented by the National Institute of Standards Testing (NIST). The Interlaboratory Comparison Program and the analysis laboratories Quality Assurance Programs provide information on the validity (accuracy and precision) of the REMP implementation steps listed above.

Because REMP measurement validity is important for evaluating protection of the health and safety of the public, RSNS has established an Environmental Quality Assurance Program (EQAP) for radiological environmental measurements. The Environmental QA Program implements the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 4.15, (NRC79a).

INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM The ICP is a radiological analysis quality control program implemented by NIST and provided by vendor laboratories. Eberline Services participates in an ICP provided by Environmental Resources Associates (ERA). Eberline Services also participates in the Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP). Participation in an ICP is a requirement of the Rancho Seco Quality Manual (RS02), section 1.4.3.2. It provides for an independent check of the proficiency of the laboratory. It also provides information on the precision and accuracy of measurements of radioactive material in REMP samples by Eberline Services. The extent of Eberline Services participation in this program includes all of the environmental radioactivity determinations that are related to the analyses required by the REMP manual.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station C-1 2007 AREOR

INTERLABORATORY COMPARISON PROGRAM (Continued)

The Intercomparison Program consists of sample media spiked with known quantities of specific radioactive materials at levels normally found in environmental samples. Most samples require long counting times to determine if any activity is present, and the results may have large deviations from the mean. 'When the samples are distributed, there is an implied precision requirement given in terms of the analysis requested to be performed. After the labs provide the results of their analyses, an ERA laboratory provides a statistical summary of all the results by the participating laboratory. This report includes the acceptance control limits, the mean of all laboratories and the standard deviation of the results by all labs, among other statistics. The same process is applicable for the MAPEP samples.

If the results of a determination by Eberline Services in the ICP are outside the specified control limits or do not pass the outliers test, Eberline Services must investigate, evaluate why the outlier occurred, and take appropriate corrective action to prevent problem recurrence.

During 2007, Eberline Services analyzed 13 ICP samples (ERA RAD-68) related to the current REMP program. One analysis for Gross Alpha in Water was above the upper control limit and was reported by ERA as "not acceptable". Eberline initiated a Corrective Action Request (CAR 07-04) and determined the corrective action which was related to the efficiency curve used for the analysis. Eberline Services completed a ERA QUIK Response Performance Evaluation for Gross Alpha in Water with acceptable results. In addition to the ERA study, Eberline Services participated in the MAPEP series07-017 study conducted in May 2007. Eberline Services failed the Zinc 65 in Vegetation, Cobalt 57 in Air Filter, and Iron 55 in Soil analysis. All three results for these analyses were higher than allowed by the acceptable range. Corrective action requests CAR 07-08 (Zinc 65 in vegetation, CAR 07-09 (Cobalt 57 in air filter), and CAR 07-10 (Iron 55 in soil) were initiated. SP.805, Annual Interlaboratory Comparison Program Data Review will document the completed corrective action for these CAR's.

The Eberline Services measurement results are presented in Table C-1 along with the acceptable values for each test.

INTRALABORATORY QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM Eberline Services, by contract, also conducts an Intralaboratory Comparison Program (Quality Assurance Program) to maintain an acceptable quality level on a routine basis.

As part of their Quality Assurance Program, the laboratory performs background counts, an analysis of spiked samples, and duplicate sample counts for every ten Rancho Seco REMP samples analyzed. These quality control procedures are performed for all analyses except gamma spectrometry, for which weekly energy and efficiency checks are performed.

Personnel not directly involved with the analysis prepare the spiked and duplicate samples.

Spiked samples, as well as the radioactive sources used for the gamma spectrometer checks, are traceable to the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station C-2 2007 AREOR

RANCHO SECO AUDIT AND SURVEILLANCE RESULTS The Rancho Seco Quality Program requires periodic audits of REMP activities, including Eberline Services. Contract laboratory performance is evaluated by the Rancho Seco QA Department and an "Approved Vendor List" is created from these audits. Audits are either conducted by Rancho Seco QA staff or by reviewing audits conducted by other facilities (NUPIC audit review). Eberline Services is currently on the approved suppliers list.

CONCLUSIONS The Intralaboratory and Interlaboratory results provided by Eberline Services indicate that Eberline Services performance was acceptable.

DIRECT RADIATION (Luxel) COMPARISON PROGRAM The monitoring badge vendor, Landauer participates in a comparison program provided by the Idaho National Environmental Laboratory (INEL). INEL did not conduct this comparison program in 2007; therefore no results from that program are available for this report. Landauer also maintains NVLAP certification with NIST. A review of Landauer's NVLAP certification results indicates that Landauer has satisfactorily completed all of the required tests for the types of environmental radiation monitored at RSNS and is certified through December 31, 2008.

This comparison program satisfies the requirement of the REMP manual section 6.0.

APPENDIX D SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS METHODS For each of the sample media collected, the method of collection is documented in Rancho Seco Nuclear Station procedures. Detailed analysis methods are documented in procedures controlled by the contract laboratory, Eberline Services. A brief description of these collection and analysis methods is included in this Appendix.

Sample Media Collection/Analysis Method AIR An air sampler continuously moves air through a filter paper designed to capture particulates by filter paper impaction. The air samplers are equipped with an elapsed time meter and flow gauge, which are used to calculate the volume of air that has passed through the filter paper.

The filter paper is exchanged weekly. At least one day is allowed to elapse between sample collection and counting to reduce the interference of naturally occurring radon and thorium daughters on the sample analysis. The filter paper is assayed for gross beta radioactivity by placing the filter on a stainless steel planchet and counted with an internal gas flow proportional counter.

The individual particulate filter papers are saved over a calendar quarter and the composite collection is assayed for gamma isotopic radioactivity by gamma spectroscopy.

Monitoring badges, (Luxels), are located within a ten (10) mile radius of the site. The badges within a five (5) mile radius are considered indicator badges. Two (2) badges are placed at each monitoring location to assure adequate data recovery and to improve measurement statistics. The badge field exposure cycle is approximately ninety (90) days. At the end of the field exposure cycle, the badges are exchanged and returned to the contract laboratory for processing.

DIRECT RADIATION Rancho Seco Nuclear Station D-1 2007 AREOR

Sample Media Collection/Analysis Method SEDIMENT Samples of sediment are collected from the top three inches of the sampled material on a quarterly schedule. Sediment samples are obtained approximately two feet from the shoreline. Each sample is assayed directly for gamma isotopic radioactivity by gamma spectroscopy.

GARDEN PRODUCE Samples of vegetables are collected semi-annually from a garden, which is maintained at the Station Site Boundary. Control location samples are collected from a local commercial vendor. The vegetables are assayed directly for gamma isotopic radioactivity by gamma spectroscopy.

FISH Fish are collected semi-annually from the Clay Creek system. The dissected (edible) portion of each sample is assayed directly for gamma isotopic radioactivity by gamma spectroscopy.

WATER 1 -liter grab samples of water from locations in the liquid effluent pathway and groundwater are collected as follows:

Surface water and Drinking water are collected monthly Runoff water is collected biweekly 0

Well water is collected quarterly.

At two locations, samples are obtained to provide a monthly composite sample. All samples are assayed for tritium by liquid scintillation counting and for gamma isotopic radioactivity by gamma spectroscopy.

Drinking and Well water samples are analyzed for Gross Beta activity.

APPENDIX E ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM DESIGN PROGRAM BASIS The Sacramento Municipal Utility District conducts a continuous Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station to assess the impact of Station operation on the surrounding environment. The current Post-Operational REMP is a continuation of a similar program initiated prior to and during operation of the Station. Samples of the surrounding environment are collected on a routine basis and analyzed to determine the amount of radiation and radioactive materials present in the exposure pathways.

During 2007 the program was directed and executed by the Radiation Protection/ Chemistry Superintendent. Decommissioning Chemistry/ Radiation Protection Technicians perform sample collection. The Radiological Health Supervisor performs data review and Program maintenance/ oversight. The Program is operated with primary accountability and cognizance of the Manager, Plant Closure and Decommissioning.

The Program is designed consistent with Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix I - Section IV, 8.2, B.3 and C, and Appendix A, "General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," Criterion 64. The program also complies with Title 10, Code of Federal Re-gulations, Part 20, "Standards for Protection Against Radiation," Section 1302. These federal requirements are cited in the Rancho Seco Quality Manual, Appendix A, and the REMP manual. REMP requirements are implemented through the review, approval and routine use of several documents, namely the REMP Manual, Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Surveillance Procedures and'Health Physics Implementing Procedures.

The programmatic elements of the REMP are. based on regulatory requirements and associated guidelines. The objectives of the Program are to:

1.

Provide the technological basis and the instruction for monitoring the environs for radioactivity sources. The radioactive sources, which contribute to detectable radioactivity in the local environs, are comprised of:

=> Naturally occurring background,

= Releases during normal operations,

= World-wide weapons testing, and

=> Major global nuclear accidents Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E-1 2007 AREOR

PROGRAM BASIS (Continued)

2.

Provide the means to verify the effectiveness of the Rancho Seco Nuclear Station Radiological Effluents Control Program.

3.

Meet the minimum detectable limits for radioisotopes in environmental samples.

4.

Provide quantitative measurements in the gaseous (airborne particulate), liquid, and direct radiation exposure pathways for radionuclides.

5.

Provide indications of the largest potential radiation exposure for individuals as a result of radionuclides in the principal exposure pathways.

The Program is developed and conducted using recognized standards and practices NRC79a, NRC79b, NUREG79, and NUREG80a.

REMP CHANGES The REMP manual and sampling program was not revised during 2007.

EXPOSURE PATHWAYS The fundamental parameters, which have been defined prior to monitoring the environs, are:

1.

Identification of the effluent release pathways

2.

Identification of the human exposure pathways

3.

Identification of the land use parameters by the population within a two-mile radius of the plant site.

Each of these three parameters is discussed below.

Effluent Release Pathways There are two principal pathways, which may result in human exposure to radiation and radioactive material originating from Station operation:

1. Liquid effluents and

2. Direct radiation from these effluents and onsite sources.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E-2 2007 AREOR

Liquid Effluents In the liquid exposure pathway, humans can ingest radioactive materials in surface waters directly or indirectly through the consumption of aquatic foods such as fish and shellfish.

Humans can consume vegetation, which is irrigated with Clay Creek water, which may contain radioactive material. Another exposure pathway from liquid effluents results from the consumption of animal products such as meat and milk from animals, which have fed upon irrigated vegetation and/ or consumed Clay Creek water.

Direct Radiation In the direct radiation pathway, potential radiation exposure may occur from radioactive material storage areas, which are contained within the site boundary. People can potentially be exposed to direct radiation from ground deposition of particulates deposited on the ground from liquid effluents. With the off-loading of spent fuel to the ISFSI, the ISFSI has become part of the direct radiation pathway.

LAND USE CENSUS On a biennial basis, a land use census is conducted within a two-mile radius to identify any changes in the human exposure pathways. The Land Use Census is used to determine the changes needed for REMP monitoring activities. The results of the land use census conducted

.during 2005/ 2006 are presented in Appendix A of this Report. The next scheduled land use census will be conducted in 2007/ 2008 and reported in the 2008 AREOR. From data obtained from the Land Use Census, exposure pathways are analyzed through a systematic process, which identifies a sample medium, or organism that is found to potentially contribute to an individual's radiation exposure. Usage and bioaccumulation factors (NRC77) are then specified which represent the magnitude of radioactive material transfer through the food chain to a receptor. The analysis of the effluent and exposure pathways enables monitoring sites to be identified as "indicator" (for sites at which the potential effects of Station effluents would be readily detected) or "control" (for those sites which are not expected to be influenced by Station operation). The analysis results of samples obtained at indicator and control sites are routinely compared to identify potential exposures above background levels.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E-3

'2007 AREOR

MONITORING LOCATION SELECTION The REMP maintains the monitoring sites required by the REMP manual, Table 6. This program is supplemented with additional samples to compensate for changes in the radiological environment surrounding Rancho Seco. The California Department of Health Services also selected some of the monitoring sites as part of their monitoring programs.

Indicator sites are placed in areas, which would be most sensitive to the effects of Station effluents such as downwind or downstream areas near the Station. If radioactive material is detected above background at any of these indicator sites, observed potential exposure and dose to humans can be estimated to verify the effectiveness of the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual in predicting potential exposures or doses. It is important to note that the detection of radioactive material in indicator samples does not necessarily mean that its presence can be attributed to Rancho Seco operations. Moreover, especially with liquid effluent pathway samples, the detection of radioactive material is difficult to interpret since it is unknown when the material was deposited. In many instances, the observed radioactive material could correctly be ascribed to historical (pre-2007) depositions.

Control locations provide data that should not be influenced by the operation of Rancho Seco.

These locations are selected based upon distance from the Station in the upwind or upstream direction of the effluent release pathways. Samples obtained from control locations should, upon analysis, reveal information about the presence and distribution of naturally occurring and man-made radioactive materials. Data from these locations are used to aid in the discrimination between the effects of Rancho Seco releases and other natural phenomena or accidental releases, which may result in human exposure.

Liquid radioactive effluents are discharged in batches from two onsite Retention Basins into "No Name" Creek located southwest of the Station. Dilution water, obtained from the Folsom South Canal, is discharged into "No Name" Creek to give reasonable assurance of compliance with the 1 OCFR50, Appendix I dose guidelines. "No Name" Creek flows southerly into the Clay Creek. Without this dilution water flow, the Clay Creek would be in a dry state for most of the year.

Beyond the Site Boundary at a point north of Highway 104, the Clay Creek empties into the Hadselville Creek. Hadselville Creek then empties into the Laguna Creek at a point west of North Clay Station Road near the Folsom South Canal. Finally, Laguna Creek flows into the Cosumnes River at a point located approximately 20 straight-line miles west of Rancho Seco.

Since this stream system is the only routine release pathway for liquid radioactive and non-radioactive effluents from the Station, the liquid exposure pathway indicator sites are located along these creeks and nearby land.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E-4 2007 AREOR

MONITORING LOCATION SELECTION (continued)

The direct radiation pathway is monitored principally through a network of monitoring badges at sites distributed in sectors centered on the Station. The badges are located primarily at the site, residential, and recreational areas around the Rancho Seco location. This design provides the capability to easily detect Station-induced direct radiation contributions to the observed terrestrial and cosmic direct radiation background.

Some badges have been sited in special locations to record direct radiation resulting from known depositions of radioactive material and to provide 10 CFR Part 72 license required data for the Interim Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISESI).

Appendix B contains a detailed description and illustration of the REMP sample and monitoring

.locations.

SAMPLE MEDIA Samples are collected from predetermined monitoring sites at a specified frequency. The sample media chosen is a function of the type of monitoring desired and coincides with one of the following exposure pathways:

o Atmospheric 0

Direct radiation 0

Terrestrial 0

A~quatic life 0

Water

,Atmospheric. monitoring is accomplished by filtering a volume of air using a mechanical air pump to collect. particulates with a particulate filter paper. Three air sampler locations are used to collect weekly air samples. One location (Meteorological Tower) is a control location and the remaining two locations are indicator locations on the plant site..

Direct radiation monitoring is achieved by placing monitoring badges at aboveground sites.

The monitoring badges respond to, and record the amount of, gamma radiation exposure. The source of this gamma radiation exposure is varied and includes potential Station effluents, naturally occurring terrestrial, and cosmogonic radionuclides. The monitoring badges are also influenced by seasonal and global (fallout) radiation sources.

Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E520 RO E-5 2007 AREOR

SAMPLE MEDIA (Continued)

There are 33 sites, which are monitored within a 10-mile radius of the Station. The monitoring badges are placed at the Station Industrial Area Boundary, near the property boundary, locations of interest such as nearby residences, and at control locations located beyond five miles of the Station.

Terrestrial monitoring is accomplished by obtaining samples of sediment and garden vegetation to measure the quantity of radioactive material deposited from liquid effluents.

There are two mud and silt (sediment) and 2 garden vegetation locations.

Aquatic monitoring includes the sampling of fish. There are four fish sample locations that can be selected for sampling.

Water monitoring includes samples of surface, runoff, drinking, and well sources from locations in the liquid effluent pathway and from area wells. The six surface water sampling locations monitor site supply water (Folsom South Canal), runoff water and water discharged from the Station. Drinking water is sampled from two groundwater wells and three drinking water taps.

SAMPLE ANALYSIS & DATA HANDLING The laboratory, which provides radio-analytical services for the Program, is Eberline Services located in Richmond, California. Sample analysis results submitted by Eberline Services are reviewed for accuracy and completeness and then entered into a computerized database for evaluation.

Data comparisons are made between individual control and indicator sample sites to isolate potential Station influences on the measurement results.

The summarized results of the 2007 Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program are presented in Table 2.

Individual (raw data) results are presented in Appendix F, Tables F-i through F-9.

REGULATORY REPORTING LEVELS Sample analysis data is reviewed and evaluated by the Radiological Health Supervisor as the results are received. All sample analysis results are reviewed for correct sensitivity and anomalies.

2007 AREOR

REGULATORY REPORTING LEVELS (Continued)

The activity concentration values listed in Table E-1 are the environmental Fuel Cycle Dose quantities that, if exceeded, require a Special Report to be submitted to the USNRC. In accordance with the REMP Manual (Section 5, Fuel Cycle Dose), the Special Report must include an evaluation of any release conditions, environmental factors or other aspects, which caused the reporting limits to be exceeded.

In addition to the Fuel Cycle Dose reporting requirements, a Special Report is required to be submitted to the USNRC when more than one of the radionuclides in Table E-1 are detected in the sampling medium and the summed ratio of detected activity concentration to the respective Reporting Level concentration is greater than, or equal to, unity (1). When radionuclides other than those listed in Table E-1 are detected which are a result of Station effluents, a Special Report is required to be submitted if the potential annual dose commitment exceeds the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I guidelines.

No reports of the types described above were required to be submitted during 2007.

SENSITIVITY OF THE REMP MEASUREMENT PROCESS All Program measurements must be performed at a sensitivity, which meets USNRC requirements. This sensitivity is determined "before the fact" (a priori) for each radionuclide of interest and sample analysis type. Typical controllable sensitivity parameters include:

= Sample volume or mass

= Sampling efficiency

= Time from sample collection to measurement Instrument detection efficiency for the nuclides (energies) of interest

= Background radiation levels

= Chemical recovery factors Rancho Seco Nuclear Station E-7 2007 AREOR

SENSITIVITY OF THE REMP MEASUREMENT PROCESS (continued)

By adjusting and controlling each of these parameters to maximize measurement process efficiency, a maximum sensitivity level (activity concentration) can be specified for each nuclide of interest and analysis type while maintaining an economic measurement process. The maximum sensitivities in the REMP are specified by the USNRC in the REMP Manual approved for Rancho Seco. These sensitivities are referred to as "LLD's", an acronym for "Lower Limit of Detection". LLD's are specified on an "a priori' basis and apply to routine measurement process capabilities when no other interfering radioactivity is present. The word "routine" is emphasized since occasional circumstances, such as limited sample mass, elevated levels of background radiation and interfering nuclides can contribute to sensitivity degradation.

Such occurrences are normally noted and reported during the conduct of REMP activities.

Meeting the LLD requirements is a quality control function shared by both REMP and the analytical laboratory personnel. Once the laboratory establishes values for the controllable parameters for each analysis type, sample chain of custody controls ensure that these parameters are upheld. If all parameters are upheld, then compliance with the LLD requirements has been demonstrated. The specific LLD values for Program measurements are included in Table E-2.

Since most of the samples analyzed result in the detection decision "activity not identified", a Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) concentration value is calculated and reported. This value can be thought of as the LLD-at-the-time-of-counting since it is calculated using an equation, which is similar to the one, used to establish LLD parameters. The biggest difference is that actual (not "a priori') parameters are used, including interference from natural radioactive material in the sample. It is important to note that MDA's are reported only for those measurements where the "activity not identified" decision has already been made.

MDA values are used primarily to identify changes in the measurement process and to convey more information about the measurement itself. Without the use of the MDA concept, most Program measurements would be reported simply as "<LLD". With MDA used, Program measurements are reported as "< xxx "where "xxx" is the calculated MDA concentration.

APPENDIX G 2007 MISSED SAMPLE REPORT In accordance with the requirements REMP manual section 3.1, the following samples are being reported as not being collected for the reasons indicated. Corrective action as required by the REMP manual is as indicated.

Air Sampler (Airborne Pathway)

RASO.1CO PAP Building (indicator)/ RASO.3MO, Plant Effluent (indicator) / RASO.7EO, Rancho Seco Meteorological Tower (control) - On February 6, 2007, during routine change out of the air samplers, it was found that 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months sample time had been lost from the sample period for all three samplers due to a power outage. Air sampler run time was 10127.5, 10154.5, and 10446.0 minutes, respectively. The minimum sample volume was achieved for all three air samples.

RASO.1CO PAP Building (indicator)/ RASO.3MO, Plant Effluent (indicator) - On February 15, 2007 the air filters at the two locations were removed and new filters were put in place.

The reason the filters were removed was for an evaluation of the Site airborne activity after a contamination event during the Reactor vessel cut up project. The sample period for the locations was covered by two filters instead of one. Minimum sample volume was achieved for both locations. PDQ 07-004 was written to cover the incident.

RASO.1CO PAP Building (indicator) - On March 28, 2007, during normal change out, the air sampler was found not running. The air sampler was replaced and restarted. Evaluation of the failed air sampler found a electrical failure of the motor possibly due to a power spike on March 21, 2007. Conservative volume was calculated using that information and a comparison of the dust loading on the other two locations.

RASO.3MO, Plant Effluent (indicator) - On June 12, 2007, air sampler was found not running during normal change out. Power had been lost for the air sampler due to water spray from a piping system to cause the air sampler to short out and trip the supply breaker. The power was rerouted and the air sampler was restarted. Minimum sample volume was not achieved for this location for this sample period. Air filter was sent in for analysis.

RASO.3MO, Plant Effluent (indicator) - Air sampler power was not available for this location for three hours during the sample period of August 14, 2007 to August 21, 2007 due to electrical maintenance. Air sample was collected and minimum volume was achieved.

RASO.3MO, Plant Effluent (indicator) / RASO.7EO, Rancho Seco Meteorological Tower (control) - Power outage for these two locations resulted in a loss of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days 8.333333e-4 hours 4.960317e-6 weeks 1.1415e-6 months for location RASO.3MO and 1.5 hours5.787037e-5 days 0.00139 hours 8.267196e-6 weeks 1.9025e-6 months for location RASO.7EO for the sample period of December 11, 2007 to December 18, 2007. Air samples were collected and minimum volume was achieved.

APPENDIX G 2005 MISSED SAMPLE REPORT (Continued)

Direct Monitoring Pathway (Luxel Badge))

RTL0.4NO Soil Depression Area (Indicator) - On July 25, 2007 (3rd Quarter 2007 results) the location for this direct radiation monitoring location was moved to a new location in the same general area to facilitate soil remediation based on MARSSIM survey results. Data for this location will be collected for the 3rd quarter monitoring period.

RTL0.6K0 Tokay Substation Indicator/ RTLI.9NO Hadselville Creek/ Clay Creek (indicator)/ RTLI.4DO East of Site, Twin Cities Road (Indicator) - Badges for these three locations were lost in shipment. Badges were shipped on July 19, 2007 and were received at the processing vendor (Landauer) on July 27, 2007. No discrepancies were noted by the shipping company (UPS) or the analysis vendor. Results were received and logged in and the discrepancy was discovered during data review. Landauer was contacted and indicated no report was made of damage to the shipment. UPS was contacted and they reported no damage was indicated for the shipment. Results for these locations will not be available for the 2 nd quarter 2007 report. Corrective action was to place on the badges in a zip lock bag for additional protection from loss/ damage and to insure the shipment to hopefully instill accountability in the shipping process.

RTLO.4NO Soil Depression Area (Indicator) - During badge change out for the 3rd quarter 2007, the monitoring badges at this location were not found. The cricket cage was also missing. A search of the area was conducted and no evidence of the badges or cricket cage was found. This is the location that was moved for soil remediation, so the MARSSIM staff was contacted to see if they had any information regarding the location of the badges. 4th quarter badges were placed at the location. No data will be available for this location for the 3rd quarter 2007 results..
