Environmental Monitoring at the Necsa Pelindaba site SARPA Workshop By: Nonkululeko Fionah Khathi 24 March 2010

Outline The purpose of environmental monitoring programme Objectives of the environmental monitoring programme Details of the environmental monitoring programme

The Purpose of the Monitoring Programme Prove compliance to legislation with the aim of protecting the public from high exposure to radio

Objectives of the Monitoring Programme Verification of controls Assurance that there are no adverse long-term radiological trends Validation of assumptions made in the analysis of risks Identification of uncontrolled discharges Provision of a baseline Provision of data for the assessment of actual or potential exposure of the public

Pathway Monitoring Two main release pathways The Crocodile River The atmosphere Dominant exposure pathways Liquid pathway = drinking water; crop irrigation and fish consumption Air pathway = iodine exposure in milk consumption

Stack Monitoring Uranium stacks – 18 Alpha activity – 7 Beta activity – 7 Iodine – 5 Noble gases – 2 Tritium - 1

Atmospheric Monitoring (1) Atmospheric iodine, atmospheric particulates, deposited fallout and tritium

Atmospheric Monitoring (3) Atmospheric uranium particulates (tacky sacks)

Water Monitoring (1) Drinking water

Water Monitoring (2) River water

Water Monitoring (3) Dam water

Water Monitoring (4) Boundary stream water

Sediment Quarterly (7 locations on and off the Necsa site)

Soil Annual soil

Milk, Food and Fish Weekly Quarterly Semi-annually

Thabana Monitoring Quarterly boreholes, vegetation and soil

Conclusion Continuous environmental monitoring gives evidences that the controls are effective. Through trend analysis of monitoring results shows that there are no adverse radiological trends. The current monitoring allows for identification of uncontrolled discharges. The monitoring data is available and can be used as baseline in case of emergency/accidental discharges The monitoring allows for evaluation any impact that releases from Necsa have on the environment and is adequate to ensure that the public is exposed to dose within limit.
