Experiences
• Decommissioning Sites– Connecticut Yankee– Yankee Rowe
• Groundwater Dose Contribution to License Termination (LT) Criteria
• NRC LT Criteria (10CFR20 Sub E, 10CFR50.82)– 25 mrem/year + ALARA
• All Pathways• Resident Farmer Typically Used
– GW Contamination Requires Site Specific Dose Modeling (NUREGS)

![Page 20: 1 Potential Sources of Groundwater Contamination at Nuclear Power Plants RETS-REMP Workshop Nine Mile Point- Constellation Energy June 28-30 th, 2004 Eric.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033103/56649cd55503460f9499c929/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Phase II Hydrogeologic Work Plan: Task 2
• Implement Improved Bedrock Packer Tests• Install Bedrock Monitoring System Based On Packer
Test Results• Assess Aquifer Hydraulic Conductivity
– Packer Test Measurements– Mat Sump Observations - Long-term Groundwater Extraction – Slug Test Measurements - Localized Measurements
• Assess Tidal Influence on Groundwater • Install Additional Monitoring Wells as Needed• Collect Other Supplemental Site-Specific Information to

21
3-D Fate and Transport Model: Task 3
• Select Appropriate Simulation Code based on Site Conditions
• Preliminary Conceptual Model Elements Include the Following:– Aquifer System Includes Shallow Unconsolidated
Formation Overlying Fractured Bedrock• Large variability in unconsolidated system thickness• Bedrock appears to be anisotropic fractured system
– Connecticut River is Ultimate Discharge Boundary• Paired wells near the river shore exhibit upward vertical
hydraulic gradient• Consistent with the regional concept of the river as a
discharge boundary.

CY Lessons Learned
• Radionuclides DO NOT Travel Together in Aquifers• Site may have Separate Aquifers• Contamination can Migrate to Depths >150 feet.• Long Term Trends Are Important
– Bias Detection– Seasonal Fluctuations– Rain Events
• Consider Level Monitoring– Correlate to RainFall
• Develop Conceptual Hydrogeologic Site Model– Well Placement– Bedrock Geophysics– Overburden Characteristics

YR Operational History
• PWR, Operated from 1960 to 1992• Initially 485 Mwt, Uprated to 600 Mwt in 1963• Fuel Clad for ~14 years was Stainless Steel• During the time period 1960-1980 the SFP did
not have an interior stainless liner• Significant IX Pit Leak - 1962• Built adjacent to Sherman Reservoir in the
northern Berkshires using a Vapor Containment Design (the BRT)
• Ceased Power Operation - 1992

Efforts Beginning in 2003
• Complete groundwater monitoring program established that included:– Suites of radionuclides to be analyzed and
relevant locations based on HSA– New locations for wells based on the site
geology• Intermediate Depths 60 -200 feet)• Bedrock (some as deep as 300 feet)• Multiple wells at same location for three depths
– Frequency for measurements which would adequately monitor changes in the GW

Yankee Rowe Lessons Learned
• EPA MCLs Selected for Criteria
• Prior Investigations Not Rigorous– Little Regulatory Involvement
• Involve All Stakeholders
• Analyze for Wide Suite of Radionuclides
• Include Non-Rad Constituents
• Long Term Trends Important
