ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME RESULTS 2nd QUARTER 2015

1. PURPOSE

This report provides the results of the programme of environmental monitoring for radioactivity around the Wylfa site, to ensure compliance with the conditions within the Environmental Permit (ref. 1) issued by the Environment Agency (EA) for Wylfa Power Station under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010.

2. 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 2nd Quarter 2015.

3. 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.

4. PROCEDURE

All environmental monitoring was carried out in accordance with the procedures listed in the Wylfa Power Station Health Physics Departmental Instruction WYA/RHI/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 (i.e. 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 to, 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 Monitoring Programme

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/hr) is a measurement of air kerma rate in the environment due to natural terrestrial

radioactivity, cosmic contribution, inherent instrument background and man-made sources (WYA/RHI/017/005 (ref. 3) and TGN-M5 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 arcs at

approximately 1km 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 (to be completed in Quarter 2). The results are listed in Appendix D.

4.1.5 Grass (herbage) samples are collected from the inner four farm sites and Wylfa Head

(the nearest site to the station) once per quarter and are analysed by gamma spectrometry. The Nearest Location sample, and bulked Inner Farms sample are forwarded to the Contract Laboratory, where quarterly Sulphur-35 measurements and annual Carbon-14 measurements are taken. The results are listed in Appendix E.

4.1.6 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 2015.

4.2 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 mollusc samples.

4.2.1 Quarterly spot gamma radiation dose rates were measured at 5 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 Marine sediment samples are collected quarterly and are analysed by gamma

spectrometry and for gross beta activity. The results are listed in Appendix G. 4.2.3 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.

4.2.4 Six monthly contamination surveys of the strandline at Porth yr Ogof are conducted

using portable contamination monitors. These results are reported Appendix H.

4.2.5 Annual contamination monitoring of fishing equipment used by local fishermen is carried out using a contamination probe and ratemeter. The results will be reported in the 3rd or 4th quarter 2015.

5. NOTEWORTHY RESULTS

Environmental TLDs The Harshaw TLD results are generally higher than the Vinten TLD results (as expected and discussed in the Commissioning Report) so if a statistical test is carried out against the previous 12 results of the Vinten TLDs many will exceed the mean plus 3 standard deviations, or the mean plus 4 standard deviations, of the previous 12 Vinten results. This has been discussed separately with the Environment Agency as in Quarter 3 only the Harshaw TLD will be used.

Beach Gamma Doserates The doserates at the beaches continue to be at an elevated level due to the instrument used giving readings approximately 25% higher than an alternative instrument used for comparison. This was not discovered until after the Q2 2015 surveys were completed. None of the results exceeded any statistical tests this quarter. An alternative instrument will be used for the surveys in Q3.

This is also true for the Environmental Gamma Doserates though in Q1 this effect was less noticeable due to the greater variation in dose rates over pasture which resulted in only one measurement exceeding the mean plus 3 standard deviations of the previous 12 results.

Marine The Caesium-137 and Potassium-40 activity in the sample of lobster exceeded the mean plus 4 standard deviations of the previous 12 results. These were not notified to the Environment Agency at the time of discovery as the Cs-137 result was below the Minimum Detectable Activity (<MDA) and was below the minimum detection limit specified in the CEARAS, and the K-40 is a naturally occurring nuclide and therefore not reported as previously agreed.

6. DEFINITIONS

Where “N/A” is noted under results, it indicates that the quantity is “not applicable” for the sampletype 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.

Remarks:Both Vinten (old type) and Harshaw (new type) TLD results are shown.

* The Harshaw TLD at location W15 was changed 3 days earlier than the Vinten so the Exposure period was 98 days. This has beentaken into account in calculating the exposure per day result.

Site W17 Harshaw TLD was missing at the time of collection. It appeared to have been deliberatly removed by persons unknown,and was subsequently found and returned to the Power Station. It was not assessed due to lack of knowledge of its whereabouts whilst missing.Site W5 Vinten TLD was also missing at the time of collection.

The Harshaw TLD results are generally higher than the Vinten TLD results (as expected and discussed in the Commissioning Report)so if a statistical test is carried out against the previous 12 results of the Vinten TLDs many will exceed the mean plus 3 standarddeviations, or the mean plus 4 standard deviations, of the previous 12 Vinten results. This has been discussed separately with the Environment Agency as in Quarter 3 onwards only the Harshaw TLD will be used.

REMARKSGross Doserates - Uncorrected DoseratesNet Doserates - Measured readings minus the cosmic component and inherent background.

The doserates at the beaches continue to be at an elevated level due to the instrument used giving readings approximately 25% higher than an alternative instrument used for comparison. This was not discovered until after the Q2 2015 surveys were completed. None of the results exceeded any statistical tests this quarter. An alternative instrument will be used for the surveys in Q3.

Notes

(i) The stated uncertainty is the 2 sigma counting uncertainty.

(ii) V = Fucus vesiculosus P = porphyra.

The Cs-137 and K-40 activty in the Lobster sample exceeded the mean plus 3 standard deviations and the mean plus 4 standard deviations of the previous 12 results. These were not

reported to the Environment Agency as the Cs-137 result was below the minimum detectable activity (MDA) and was below the minimum detection limit specified in the CEARAS, and

the K-40 is a naturally occurring nuclide and therefore not reported as previously agreed.
