SCOPE This report covers all statutory environmental monitoring identified by the Environment Agency in the Compilation of Environment Agency Requirements, Approvals and Specifications (CEARAS) (ref. 2), for the 2"! Quarter 2014 RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 ‘The Head of Health Physics and Chemistry is responsible for reviewing and authorising this report and for the provision of expert advice on the monitoring of radioactivity in the vicinity of the Wylfa site. PROCEDURE All environmental monitoring was carried out in accordance with the procedures listed in the Wylfa Power Station Health Physics Departmental Instruction WY A/RH1/017/005 “Management of the Environmental Monitoring Programme” (ref. 3). All reasonably practicable measures have been taken to achieve the detection limits specified in the CEARAS. Unless otherwise noted, all positive results (je. those exceeding the detection limit) are quoted with uncertainties at the 95% confidence level based upon counting statistics only. Where results are less than, or equal fo, the detection limit, the detection limit value has been reported. If any result has exceeded the mean of the previous 12 results plus 3 standard deviations then this will be noted in the “remarks” column of a particular sample, and, as far as reasonably practicable, an explanation provided for any such value. Analysis is carried out locally at the station or at a Contract Laboratory. All analytical methods are validated and controlled in a manner consistent with the requirements of ISO 17025 that are specified in the CEARAS. 4.1 Terrestrial Environmental Monitoris mm ‘The terrestrial programme includes measurements of radiation dose rates over pasture, radiation doses at the site perimeter fence and at set distances from the station, passive shade deposition collectors, grass samples, soil cores and milk samples. 4.1.1 TLDs are deployed quarterly at locations on the perimeter fence with one TLD per 30° sector, and in three arcs around Wylfa; at approx. 5, 10 and 30 km distances with at least one per 30° sector. Exposed TLDs are sent to the Approved Dosimetry Service for processing and analysis. The results are listed in Appendix A. 4.1.2 Quarterly doserate measurements are carried out using a Mini 6-80/MC70 at 9 or more inner (3km) locations, and 9 or more outer (10km) locations. The dose rate (nGy/h) is a measurement of air kerma rate in the environment due to natural terrestrial42 radioactivity, cosmic contribution, inherent instrument background and man-made sources (WY A/RHI/017/005 (ref. 3) and TGN-MS refer (ref. 4). ‘The results are listed in Appendix B (Environmental Gamma Doserate measurements), 4.1.3 Passive shades are deployed at eight sites (two shades per site) in two ares at approximately Ikm and 10km. The shades are collected monthly and analysed by Gamma Spectrometry at Wylfa. The results are listed in Appendix C. 4.1.4 A sample of milk is collected from each farm on a quarterly basis. The samples are then analysed by gamma spectrometry at Wylfa. Quarterly samples are bulked to give Inner (farms 1,3 & 4) and Outer (Farms 5-8) quarterly samples which are sent to the Contract Laboratory for quarterly Sulphur 35 analysis and annual Carbon 14 analysis. The results are listed in Appendix D. As-76 was detected in the sample from farm 4 at a evel of 3.588 Ba/l with an uncertainty of 46.01%. This activity is less than the minimum detection limits specified in the CEARAS. 4.1.5 Grass (herbage) samples are collected from the inner four farm sites and Wylfa Head (he nearest site to the station) once per quarter and are analysed by gamma spectrometry. A bulked sample is forwarded to the Contract Laboratory, where quarterly Sulphur-35 measurements and annual Carbon-14 measurements are taken. ‘The results are listed in Appendix E. Soil cores are collected from one of the herbage locations once per annum, and are analysed by gamma spectrometry and for gross beta activity. The results will be reported in quarter 3 2014. Marine Environmental Monitoring Programme The marine programme includes measurements of radiation dose rates over shoreline or sediment, measurements of contamination of fishing equipment and the beach and analysis of seaweed, sediment, fish, crustacean, and molluse samples. 4.2.1 Quarterly spot gamma radiation dose rates were measured at $ or more Beach sites (as evenly spaced as far as practicable, with at least two locations either side of the station), The results are listed in Appendix F. 4.2.2 Six monthly contamination surveys of the strandline at Porth yr Ogof are conducted using portable contamination monitors. These results are listed in Appendix H. 4.2.3 Annual contamination monitoring of fishing equipment used by local fishermen is carried out using a contamination probe and ratemeter. The resuilts will be reported in the 3 or 4" quarter 2014. 4.2.4 Marine sediment samples are collected quarterly and are analysed by gamma spectrometry and for gross beta activity. The results are listed in Appendix G. 4.2.5 Seaweed, Fish, crustacean and mollusc samples are collected from local fishermen on a quarterly basis, when available, and are analysed by gamma spectrometry and for gross beta activity. The results are listed in Appendix G,NOTEWORTHY RESULTS As-76 was detected in a milk sample. Please see paragraph 4.1.4 for details. ‘The Am-241 and Cs-137 activities in the Cemlyn Silt sample both exceeded the mean plus 3 standard deviations of the previous 12 results. The Quarter 3 sample from the same location showed activities had dropped back to lower levels. While the Quarter 2 activities are higher than normal, they are not ‘unusual when compared to results over a longer time period, and come after a period of consistently lower results, DEFINITIONS Where “N/A” is noted under results, it indicates that the quantity is “not applicable” for the sample type or not required to be performed in this quarter (“not assessed”). ‘Where “N/S” is noted under results, no sample was available from the location or for the sample type.
