The Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility (EERF) is a fully integrated participant with other components of the Office in these efforts. The Facility provides comprehensive capability for evaluating radiation sources through planning and conducting environmental studies, nationwide surveillance, and laboratory analysis. The EERF also provides special analytical support for Environmental Protection Agency Regional Offices and other Federal government agencies, as requested, as well as technical assistance to the radiological health programs of State and local health departments. This report presents results of the survey conducted by EERF personnel to assess levels of environmental radioactivity resulting from maintenance and operation of nuclear-powered warships at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Environs on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, Hawaii. The purpose of the survey was to determine if operations related to U.S. Navy nuclear warship activities resulted in releases of radionuclides which could contribute to significant population exposure or contamination of the environment. Readers of our reports are encouraged to bring comments, omissi^s, or errors to our attention. Charles R. Porter Director Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility IX ------- INTRODUCTION Since 1963, the Eastern Environmental Radiation Facility (EERF), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), in cooperation with the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), has surveyed facilities serving nuclear powered warships on the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Pacific coasts. These surveys assess whether nuclear powered warship operations, during construction, maintenance, overhaul, or refueling, have created elevated levels of radioactivity in the harbor environment. The surveys emphasize sampling those areas and pathways that could expose the public. In 1984, NAVSEA requested that the USEPA resurvey all active facilities servicing nuclear powered warships over the succeeding three years. Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Oahu, Hawaii, which was surveyed by EERF personnel in February 1985, is the first to be completed under this agreement. The Harbor was last surveyed by the EERF (then part of the U.S. Public Health Service) in 1968 (reference 1), The 1985 survey was similar to that in 1968 except that the more recent equipment is generally more sensitive, which results in lower levels of detectability. ------- Characteristics of Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard Pearl Harbor is located in the Hawaiian Islands on the southern shore of Oahu, 10 miles northwest of Honolulu. As shown in Figure 1, the Harbor consists of three major lochs, namely, West Loch, Middle Loch, and East Loch, with a total area of approximately 2.0 x 10' meters^. The shipyard location in the East Loch, often referred to as the Southeast Loch, contains the submarine base, berthing areas, and repair basins. Several major streams feed fresh water into the lochs. This feature combined with winds, ship movement, and tidal action results -in considerable mixing actions. In addition, sedimentation is affected by dredging in the harbor area. Major population areas adjacent to the harbor are Pearl City and Waipahu. There is no commercial fishing in the harbor area; however, recreational fishing was observed during the survey. ------- ------- Fig. 2. Sampling Sites (Q indicates core sampling location) ------- Fig. 3. Sampling Sites. ------- Survey and Analytical Methods A pre-survey meeting was held with Navy personnel to obtain information that is useful in determining sampling sites. Specific areas of discussion were as follows: 1. past and present radiological activities in the shipyard 2. navy's current shipyard environmental program 3. old and new (if any) discharge points 4. accidental releases 5. exclusion boundaries Also during this meeting, sample splitting, quality assurance, and report preparation and review were explained to the Navy personnel. At the conclusion of the briefing, sampling sites were selected where radioactivity most likely would be detected and in areas accessible to the public. The density of sampling sites was based on past surveys and professional judgment after discussions with Navy personnel. Extensive sampling was performed at all drydocks, berthing areas, and repair facility locations where nuclear warships are or have been serviced. Sampling sites are shown in Figures 2 and 3. Environmental media sampled were harbor bottom sediment, water, aquatic life, and vegetation. Since cobalt-60 is the predominant radioisotope associated with Naval nuclear propulsion plants, environmental sampling focused on detecting this radioisotope. The water samples were also analyzed for tritium, since this nuclide is produced in the coolant of light-water nuclear reactors. An underwater gamma scintillation probe with a 10 centimeter by 10 centimeter sodium iodide detector was used with a portable multichannel pulse height analyzer to help locate any possible areas of radioactivity. A background reading of the bottom sediments was taken at Site 1 and was stored in the memory of the equipment for subtraction from each subsequent measurement to yield a net activity. A 10-minute collection period was used for all probe measurements. In addition, harbor bottom sediment samples were collected at all underwater probe measurement locations. Probe measurements and sediment sampling were each repeated at approximately five percent of the sites for quality assurance purposes. A standard Peterson dredge was used to sample approximately the top 10 centimeters of sediment. A total of 94 sediment samples and 5 quality assurance samples were collected. At the laboratory these samples were dried, ground to a fine powder, placed in a 400 crn3 sample counting container, and counted on a Ge(Li) or intrinsic germanium detector for 1000 minutes. Core samples help determine the vertical distribution of radioactivity in harbor bottom sediment, and any radioactive materials from past operations that have been covered with sediment can be observed in core samples. Core ------- samples were taken using a 3.8 centimeter diameter by 61 centimeter long plastic tube. The tube was pushed into the sediment as far as possible, the top end capped, and carefully removed. Locations of the core samples are shown in Figures 2 and 3. At the laboratory, the cores were frozen and cut into 2.5 centimeter sections. The sections were individually counted without drying on a Ge(Li) or intrinsic germanium detector for 1,000 minutes to determine gamma emitting radioisotopes. The sections were weighed wet, dried, and re-weighed, and the activity was reported per gram dry weight. Water samples were collected at 11 locations in the harbor and from four public drinking water supplies. These samples were analyzed for gamma emitters, especially cobalt-60, and for tritium. Aquatic life samples, consisting primarily of small fish, were collected in the harbor and analyzed for gamma-emitting radioisotopes. These samples were collected by divers where available. These samples were prepared by cutting, draining, and packing them in 400 cm3 containers and counting them on a Ge(Li) or intrinsic germanium detector for 1000 minutes. Aquatic vegetation samples from pier pilings were collected by divers. The samples were placed in 400 cm3 containers and counted wet on a Ge(Li) or intrinsic germanium detector for 1000 minutes. Direct gamma radiation exposure was monitored and recorded continuously by a pressurized ionization chamber (PIC) mounted on the survey boat. The average surface exposure rate at each harbor bottom sediment sampling location was identified on a continuous recording chart. Gamma radiation surveys were also performed on the land adjacent to the shipyard/submarine base, focusing on areas accessible to the general public. These measurements were made with a scintillation type survey meter that was periodically calibrated by comparison to a PIC. ------- Results and Discussion The results for the water samples collected in the harbor are shown in Table 1. No tritium was detected above the minimum detectable level of 200 pCi/1. No cobalt-60 was detected in any of the water samples. Potassium-40, a naturally occurring radionuclide, was the only gamma emitting nuclide detected. There was no radioactivity detected in the four public drinking water samples that were collected from the water supplies in the harbor area (Table 2). The analytical results of the aquatic life samples collected in the harbor are shown in Table 3. Only naturally occurring potassium-40 was detected in these samples. The gamma exposure data collected over the land areas are summarized in Table 4. No levels above normal background were observed in areas accessible to the general public. Direct gamma exposure rate measurements made from the survey boat (Table 5) show that two locations, sites 64 and 81, were above natural background levels. The measurement at site 64 was made immediately adjacent to a barge where radiological work is performed and was influenced by radioactive materials aboard the barge. The level at site 81 is elevated because this site is near the radioactive material storage building. Both sites are within the controlled area of the shipyard/submarine base and are not accessible to the general public. Even if a member of the general public were permitted to stand near these locations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the radiation dose received would be much less than the annual radiation exposure guide of 500 millirem established by current Federal regulations. The results of the aquatic vegetation sample analyses (Table 6) indicate small, but detectable cobalt-60 concentrations in samples from sites 6 and 20. The sample at site 6 was algae or algae-like growth taken from pilings near the end of dry dock number 3. The concentration is small and it is worthy of note that the concentration of cobalt-60 in the sediment sample from this site is quite low. ------- Extensive sampling was conducted along pier 10-10 in the general location of a 1983 inadvertent release of low level radioactive liquid waste from a temporary piping system used to collect radioactive water from a nuclear-powered submarine. The presence of small quantities of cobalt-60 detected in the aquatic vegetation sample collected at site 20 could be due to that event. The underwater probe could not identify any specific areas of bottom radioactivity since the levels were below the detection limit of the instrument. This was verified when the sediment samples were analyzed by laboratory instrumentation. The cobalt-60 concentrations determined in the laboratory for the sediment samples collected with the Peterson dredge are listed in Table 7. Twenty-five of the locations sampled were chosen to duplicate those of either the 1966 or 1968 surveys. The results from these earlier surveys are also indicated in Table 7 where appropriate. The average radioactivity levels of the 1985 samples are about a factor of 50 less than the average levels of the 1966-68 surveys. Decay would have accounted for about a factor of 15 reduction in radioactivity. Redistribution of the harbor sediment could account for the remaining difference. Quarry Loch, which contained the highest average concentration of radioactivity found in the 1966 survey (54.7 pCi/gm), has decreased by a factor of 156 (.35 pCi/gm) in the 1985 survey. It appears that the cobalt-60 activity in the sediment is primarily that detected in previous surveys (reference 1). In general, the cobalt-60 concentrations in the shipyard area range from below detectable to 0.66 pCi per gram dry weight of sediment. The highest concentrations were found along pier 10-10 (sites 12-26) and averaged approximately 0.3 pCi/g. However, pier 10-10 was not extensively sampled in previous surveys, thus it is not possible to determine if sites 12 - 26 are higher due to the inadvertent release referred to earlier or if this was the case at the time of the earlier surveys. The cobalt-60 concentrations of the upper sediments in the submarine base range from about 0.1 to 2.3 pCi/g of dry sediment and are about 15 times lower than the concentrations found in the 1968 survey (3.8 to 30.7 pCi/g). Radioactive decay alone during this time period would have reduced the cobalt-60 concentrations to about one tenth of their 1968 values. The added reduction may be due to redistribution of bottom sediment over the years. As in the previous surveys, the highest concentrations were in Quarry Loch (sites 48 - 57). Cobalt-60 concentrations in sediment samples from the harbor in locations outside the immediate shipyard/submarine base area ranged from nondetectable to 0.14 pCi/g. The highest value was at site 80; all other values were either nondetectable or in the hundredths of a picocurie per gram, which is consistent with decay of the low level activity found in the 1966 and 1968 surveys (reference 1). ------- The results of cobalt-60 analyses of the core samples taken at selected locations are shown in Table 8. The core samples in the 1968 survey show a general increase in cobalt-60 concentration with depth. However, the data for 1985 show that this trend is no longer as apparent. The 8.8 pCi/g (20.0 to 22.5 cm) value from location 72 could be attributed to the collection of a particle of radioactivity, since the values above and below this level are tenfold less. At location 20, which was sampled to a depth of only about one-half of the other core samples, cobalt-60 was detected in the upper portion of the sample, and the lower portion had no detectable activity. 10 ------- Observations and Conclusions 1. Neither harbor water nor drinking water from surrounding areas contain detectable cobalt-60 or tritium radioactivity. 2. Very small quantities of cobalt-60 were found in sediment and in two aquatic vegetation samples from the harbor. No cobalt-60 was found in any of the aquatic life samples. 3. The levels of cobalt-60 in the harbor sediment have decreased significantly since the surveys of 1966 and 1968 and are consistent with those expected from the radioactive decay of the amounts found in the 1966 and 1968 surveys. 4. The current practice of restricting the release of radioactive material into the harbor to the minimum practical has been effective and should allow the cobalt-60 radioactivity remaining in harbor sediment to continue to decrease. 5. The levels and locations of radioactivity identified and the limited media in which it was found show that operations related to nuclear powered warship activities resulted in no release of radionulides having adverse effects on public health or the environment. 11 ------- Table 1 Results of Harbor Water Analysis Location 1 4 5 14 20 A 20 B 40 A 40 B 52 71 86 Radionuclide K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 K-40 H-3 Activity (pCi/1) +_ 2 sigma error 0.34 + 15% < 200 0.28 + 54% < 200 0.32 + 19% < 200 0.24 + 20% < 200 0.29 + 53% < 200 0.34 + 16% < 200 0.35 + 15% < 200 0.25 + 62% < 200 0.36 + 17% < 200 0.30 + 52% < 200 0.35 + 15% < 200 12 ------- Table 2 Drinking Water Samples Location Shipyard Aiea Waipahu Pearl City Radionuclide Gamma H-3 Gamma H-3 Gamma H-3 Gamma H-3 Activity (pCi/1) + 2 sigma error ND* 200 ND 200 ND 200 ND 200 *ND = No detectable radioactivity. 13 ------- Table 3 Results of Aquatic Life Sample Gamma Analysis Sample Type Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish Clams Fish Composite Location* 6 14 23 49 52 64 72 (oysters, 82 Radionuclide K-40 K-40 K-40 K-40 K-40 K-40 K-40 K-40 Specific Gamrna Activity (pCi/gm wet + 2 sigma error) 3.80 + 15% 4.50 + 23% 4.10 + 25% 4.20 + 14% 2.20 + 131% 3.00 + 101% 3.80 + 13% 3.40 + 36% crab, fish) * Samples were collected in the general area of the indicated location. 14 ------- * ** Table 4 .* Overland Exposure Measurements Location Exposure 1.
