This report presents data obtained at Rancho Seco as a part of the In-Plant Source Term Measurement Program in operating pressurized water reactors (PWR's). The work was conducted for the Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research in support of the Effluent Treatment Systems Branch of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. The primary objective of this program is to provide the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) with operational data that can be used in evaluation of plant designs for liquid and gaseous waste treatment systems. Data presented were obtained at the Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station, operated by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD), located near Clay Station, California, 35 miles southeast of Sacramento, California. In-plant measurements were conducted during the time period from September, 1978 to March, 1979. This plant is the fourth in a planned series of six operating PWR's to be studied, two from each of the major PWR vendors. Data from all plants will be combined and interpreted to provide a data base for radioisotope inventory in plant systems, radioactive waste treatment system performance, and source terms for both liquid and gaseous systems.
