Subject Shonka Line Shack & Warehouse/Garage Pads FSS Survey Design 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of this calculation is to provide the survey design guidance to be followed for conducting final status surveys (FSS) in the Penelec Line Shack and on the concrete pads where the SNEC Warehouse and Garage were formerly located.
1.2 Shonka Research Associates (SRA) will conduct scan surveys using procedures reviewed and approved by SNEC. These procedures are attached as Appendices.
2.0
SUMMARY
OF RESULTS 2.1 The following information will be used to conduct the applicable FSS for this survey design:
2.1.1 The Line Shack area is divided into four (4) Class 2 and one (1) Class 3 survey units.
2.1.2 The Line Shack Survey Unit (SU) Numbers are as follows:
SU Number Area Description Classification Area (mZ)
LS1-1 Floors 2 290 LS1-2 Interior walls up to 2 meters 2 177 LS2-1 Interior upper walls & ceiling 2 603 LS3 Exterior walls 3 343 LS4 Roof 2 324 2.1.3 The Warehouse and Garage Pads areas are divided into two (2) Class 2 survey units.
2.1.4 The Survey Unit Numbers for these Pads are as follows:

4.0 ASSUMPTIONS AND BASIC DATA 4.1 SRA procedures to be used to perform scan surveys.
4.2 Remediation History Demolition of the SNEC Warehouse and Garage was performed in 2002. Only the foundation pads for these buildings remained after demolition.
4.3 This survey design uses the NRC default gross activity DCGLW, value for Cs-137. This value was used since only Cs-137 was detected in samples obtained from the respective survey units. A 25% reduction to the gross activity DCGLw was performed to address de-listed radionuclides. The SNEC facility has instituted an administrative limit of 75% for the allowable dose for all measurement results. The de-listed radionuclide dose is accounted for within the 75% administrative limit. The 75% administrative limit is then applied as follows: 0.75 x 28,000 dpm/100 cm2 = 21,000 dpm/100 cm2.
4.4 The MDCSC 2n calculation is determined based on LTP section 5.5.2.5. The calculation consists of the following: 28,000 dpm/100 cm2 x 0.75 x 0.5 = 10,500 dpm/100 cm2.
4.5 Special measurements including gamma-ray spectroscopy are not included in this survey design.
4.6 Static and other survey measurements will be conducted after review of the SRA survey is completed. This design will be revised to incorporate these surveys as determined by the FSS group.
4.7 The survey design checklist is listed in Attachment 1.

............................... .. m MDA I Minimnum Detectable Activity
- 4. General Information The incremental encoder provides a method of determining the distance traveled by the SCM. The encoder turns and generates TTL level pulses at regular intervals. A calibration factor in pulses per inch allows the SCM to determine distance by number of pulses. This calibration factor could be determined by dividing the pulses per rotation by the circumference of the wheeL To reduce the impact of measurement error this procedure determines the calibration factor by rolling the cart a known distance and dividing by the pulses received by the counter card in the SCM to get a pulse/in factor.

- 1. Purpose This procedure details the requirements for completion of a survey using the SCMl.
- 2. Scope and Limitations This procedure applies to version 2.0 or later of the SCM process software.
ITEM DESCRIPTION l The Surface Contamination Monitor is a mobile platform SCM icontaining detectors, support electronics, and data logger used for conducting radiological surveys.
Survey Information Management System - SIMS is flexible and I comprehensive interfacing software for the SRA SCM. SIMS processes the SCM instrument data with a sophisticated data parser, integrated spreadsheet, and powerful special functions such SIMS 'as spatial data filters. SIMS provides the most flexible reporting system available for printing survey records or complete stand-alone survey reports. SIMS contains all the tools needed to meaningfully communicate between the SCM and the data analysisX team.
Position Sensitive Proportional Counter - This is a radiation I detector that is capable of establishing where alongithe detector a pulse is sensed (the system is described in NUREGCR-6450).
PSPC The detectors are similar in efficiency to other counters, but have backgrounds associated with small area detectors (5cxm5crn)._ _
This results in improved sensitivity, due to low background, and specific identification of the location of the radioactivity. The PSPCs may be fabricated in any length.
Source Response Check - Determines if the system is operating the!
same from day-to-day. J Performance Based Check - Determines the system efficiency and l PBC performance.
SCM PROCEDURE 005, REV6 DATE: 7/17103 PAGE 4 OF 9 TITLE: REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF A SURVEY USING THE SCM
- 4. General Information 4.1. Rolling Mode Check the wheel encoder upon arrival on site per "SCM Procedure 001". Check the PSPC per "SCM Procedure 007".
The Project Manager establishes the survey speed based on the isotopes of concern and the desired sensitivities set forth by the client. The SCM system is capable of concurrent alpha, beta and gamma surveys.
An SCM survey uses the concept of survey strips. SIMS reassembles the strips to provide complete documentation of a survey without requiring any manual transfer of data. The operator makes a crude sketch of the area and indicates the direction and start point of each strip. Record the filename of the survey on the sketch and, if available, note a reference coordinate for one of the comers of the survey area. The surface does not need to be pre-gridded. Mark the surface into survey lanes using a chalk line or other markings. The wheel encoder enables tracking of distance down each lane.
Markings on the detector housing allow the operator to align the detector to the lane.
Each lane is twice as wide as the detector. Typical survey lanes are about 12 feet wide.
Start the SCM software if it is not already active and enter the survey parameters:
- Survey Name (Filename),
- Room ID, and
- Equipment ID.
Use the speed indicator on the computer display to adjusted to the proper survey speed.
After establishing the speed, disengaged the motor and positioni the SCM with the. front of the first PSPC at least 10 cm before the start of the first survey lane. Start the motor and begin logging data as the leading edge of the first PSPC enters the survey lane by pressing the <Record> button. The motor maintains a constant speed, while the- .
operator guides the cart down the lane unless using the fly-by-wire or autonomous carts. Upon reaching the end of the lane, press the <Stop> button on the SCM screen and optionally disengaged the motor. Position the cart to record the next lane. Repeat this process until completing the survey.
Change the filename and optionally the Room ID to prepare the instrument for the next survey area. The display provides infonnation during the survey process, such as, survey name, strip number, distance traveled in strip, target speed and current speed, alarm set points, and detector data.

Thle system also provides visual and audible alarms to the user to indicate problems with operating parameters such as speed. The SCM logs data to the disk drive from any combination ofthe detectors while the <Record> key is active. This permits reassembly of the data in the SIMS application.
4.2. Corner Mode Use the comer detector operated in a data-logging mode to survey areas not accessible with the SCM attached to the motor driven cart. The output of comer mode is compatible with SIMS. The comer detector is a PSPC operated in a similar fashion to the SCM rolling survey, but with a fixed time interval for each detector placement and data acquisition. The Project Manager establishes the time interval to provide a sensitivity that is consistent with that established for the rolling mode.
Measure out 10 cm strips along the surface being measured. Start the SCM softvare if it is not already active and enter the survey parameters: Survey Name (Filename),
Room ID, and Equipment ID. Position the detector between the first set of marks and press <Record> button in the SCM process softvare. At the end of the preset time interval, the system stops recording. Move the detector into the next position, and record the next strip. Repeat this process until completing the survey.

- 4. General Information Normal operation of the SCM with a PSPC requires daily SRCs to assure that the PSPC is performing within acceptable limits. Perform this procedure at the beginning and end of each shift for each detector in use. Compare the results to the results of the daily SRC to the baseline SRC for this project. Use the initial daily SRC for a project as the baseline SRC.
Any time a system parameter changes, take a new baseline SRC for comparison with proceeding days. Examples of altered parameters would be:
- 1. Change in high voltage.
- 2. Calibration source changed.
Perform Performance Based Checks (PBC) frequently through out the course of the survey. The PBCs establish the system performance during the survey and are the basis for the detector efficiency. Moreover, the PBCs affect the reported surface activity output by SNMS.

- 7. Procedure 7.1. Source Response Check Measurement.
7.1.1. If this is a baseline SRC, use the form in Appendix A, "Baseline Source Response Check Form"; otherwise, use the form in Appendix B, "Daily Source Response Check Form". Use this procedure for all detectors regardless of configuration. Perform all source response checks with the detector and source stationary. If desired, use a source holder so that the placement of the source to the detector is repeatable.
7.1.2. Enter the Energy/Position analyzer by following these steps:
7.1.2.1. Press the <Setup> button.
7.1.2.2. Press the <Supervisor> button.
7.1.2.3. Press the <Calibrations> button.
7.1.2.4. Press the <Detector Position> button.
7.1.2.5. Press the <Use Position Analyzer> button.
7.1.3. Make sure that there are no sources under the detector.
7.1.4. Start Acquisition by pressing the <Acquire> button.
7.1.5. When the i-minute timed acquisition ends, integrate the entire spectrum and record the measured background for the entire spectrum.
7.1.6. Record the measured background on the appropriate form in the.
column labeled "Total Counts" and the row labeled "Background for Entire Array".
7.1.7. Place calibration source under the center of the detector or in contact with mylar or protective screen. When the SCM is setup for rolling mode, it is often quicker to place the source on the ground and roll the cart to position the source under the detector. When surveying in comer mode, it is often quicker to turn the PSPC over and place the source directly on the mylar or protective screen. In any case, assure that the source to detector geometry is the same as when the baseline SRC was taken.
7.1.8. Start Acquisition by pressing the <Acquire> button.
7.1.9. When the 1-minute count is complete, record the count with calibration source on the data table in the appropriate row for the given detector of the appropriate form in the column labeled "Total Counts".
SCM PROCEDURE 007, REV7 DATE: 7117/03 PAGE 6 OF 12 TITLE: SOURCE RESPONSE CHECK AND PERFORMANCE BASED CHECK OF ANY PSPC DETECTOR CONFIGURATION INSTALLED ON THE SCM 7.1.10. Repeat Steps 7.1.7-7.1.9 for each detector in the PSPC array.
7.2. Source Response Check Evaluation 7.2.1. For each detector, subtract the recorded background entered in the data table in the row labeled "Background for Entire Array" from the recorded "Total Counts" for each detector. Enter the result in the block "Total Background Subtracted Counts".
Note: If this procedure is being done to establish a baseline, it is now complete.
If this is a comparison to baselinc,proceed to step 7.2.2 7.2.2. Copy values in the column labeled "Total Background Subtracted Counts" from the baseline form for each detector onto the form "Daily Source Response Check Form" in the column labeled "Total Baseline Background Subtracted Counts" provided in Appendix B.
7.2.3. For each detector perform the calculation shown in Equation I and record the value in the block "Percent Difference from Baseline Measurement" on the form in Appendix B.
Equation 1. Calculation of percent difference from baseline.

7.3. Performance Based Check Note: Perform the Petformance Based Check (PBC) with the detectors operatingin the mode iniiwhich the surveys bounded by the PerfornzanceBased Checks will be performed.
7.3.1. Perform periodic PBCs throughout the course of the survey. Perform PBCs at the beginning of the shift, at least once per 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of surveying, and at the completion of each shift.
7.3.2. Perform all PBCs using the same source. The source used for efficiency determination is acceptable but not required to be used.
7.3.3. Obtain PBCs in the same performance manner as normal surveys, i.e.
SCM speed and detector height, or timer setting and height for comer detectors.
7.3.4. Establish a survey file name for the Performance Based Checks. See SCM Procedure 011 for file naming conventions.
SCM PROCEDURE 007, REV7 DATE: 7117103 PAGE 7 OF 12 TITLE: SOURCE RESPONSE CHECK AND PERFORMANCE BASED CHECK OF ANY PSPC DETECTOR CONFIGURATION INSTALLED ON THE SCM 7.3.5. Place the source on the floor and perform a survey of the area, operating the SCM in accordance with SRA Procedure 005. For rolling surveys, center the source along the PSPC axis 1.0 m from the leading edge of the first detector before rolling the cart over the source. For comer surveys place source on detector mylar or protective screen.
7.3.6. For corner surveys, press the <Record> button and wait until acquisition is complete. For rolling surveys press record, then start motor. Continue strip until last detector is 1.0 m past the source.
7.3.7. Repeat the survey 3 times for each PBC.
7.3.8. Record the time, filename, strip numbers, and the source used in the logbook or survey form.
7.3.9. Evaluation of the PBCs for the duration of the survey occurs in the survey report issued upon completion of the survey.
8.1.2. Daily SRCs are acceptable if all "Percent Difference from Baseline Measurement" values are less than 20%. If a system fails to meet the acceptance criteria, all survey data taken since the last acceptable PBC or SRC will be rejected. Also, the system should be removed from service until the failure is resolved.
8.2. PBCs 8.2.1. Use SIMS software to process the PBC data files. Establish a control chart indicating the mean and "2-sigma" and "3-sigma" values.
Evaluate subsequent PBCs against the "2-sigma" and "3-sigma" criteria and for indications of adverse trends. If more than 1 of the 3 measurements obtained during a PBC is greater than the "2-sigma" or if any measurement is greater than "3-sigma", the PBC fails. Surveys bounded by a failed PBC are considered invalid. If a system fails to meet the acceptance criteria, all survey data taken since the last acceptable PBC or SRC will be rejected. Also, the system should be removed from service until the failure is resolved.

. permitted usage defined by the code's documentation.
- 4. General Information Performance of surveys requires designation of the following staff members:
- 1. Project Manager,
- 2. Survey Technicians,
- 3. Office Manager, and
- 4. Quality Assurance (QA) Reviewer.
The size of the survey dictates the number of Survey Technicians, but for small surveys the Project Manager may assume the responsibilities of the Survey Technician. Persons directly involved with the survey may not serve as Quality Assurance Reviewer.
The Project Manager is responsible for planning, organizing logistics, supervising survey performance, documenting the survey, and processing survey data. The Project Manager is responsible for choosing the methods and procedures needed to complete all
SCM PROCEDURE 008, REV3 DATE: 917101 PAGE 6 OF 23 TITLE: CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS FOR SURVEYS USING THE SCMISIMS deliverable items for the survey, for performing the required tasks, and for documenting the process in a manner that reflects high professional standards.
Survey Technicians are responsible for operation and maintenance of the SCM during the course of the survey. They perform surveys in accordance with SRA and local site procedures. Survey Technicians must complete the SRA training courses required for operation of the SCM. In the event more than one individual is involved in the accumulation of survey data, each individual shall be considered a Survey Technician.
For larger surveys the Project Manager may appoint a Survey Lead Technician. The Survey Lead Technician will assist the Project Manager in supervising and organizing survey activities.
The Office Manger assists the survey team by providing clerical and logistical support.
The Office Manager is responsible for maintaining controlled copies of any documents provided to the client. The Office Manager approves all revisions to any deliverable documents. Additionally, the Office Manager maintains the survey archive upon completion of the final deliverables of the survey. The Office Manager may function at the survey site, the home office, or at a remote location.
The QA reviewer insures completion of all required elements of the survey, that the completed survey is in accordance with all applicable procedures; and addresses all contractual survey items. In addition, the QA reviewer perforrns a final check on deliverable documents to ensure that there are no granummatical, spelling, or punctuation type errors; that page numbering is correct; that all tables agree with Auto Generated Survey Records; that all cross-references are correct; etc. Survey documentation must be completed and ready for delivery (i.e. resolution of comments must be finished) before QA review can take place.

SCM PROCEDURE 011, REVI DATE: 917/01 PAGE 3 OF a TITLE: SURVEY NAMING CONVENTION WHEN USING THE SCM
- 1. Purpose This procedure establishes the methods for naming surveys when using the SCM. The SCM saves data to a filename that is identical to the survey name entered by the SCM operator into the process software. Therefore, the survey name is currently limited to 8 alphanumerics.
- 2. Scope and Limitations This procedure applies to any use of the SCM when logging data.
ITEM DESCRIPTION The Surface Contamination Monitor is a mobile platform SCM containing detectors, support electronics, and data logger
. used for conducting radiological surveys.
Survey Measurement Type This code identifies the type of survey: alpha, beta, gamma, Code quality assurance, etc.
Survey Operating Mode This code identifies the operating mode: rolling, comer or Code merged.
SCM ID Code This code identifies the SCM serial number.
This code identifies the survey number. This number starts Survey Sequence Code !at I and increments throughout the survey for a given Survey Measurement Type Code, Survey Operating Mode
. Code, and SCM ID Code. ....................... ...... :.. . ......... ._.._
This code identifies when a survey relates to another previous survey of the same survey block.
- SurveyIdentification Code. ..
Sury I(S d o C This code provides a naming convention for surveys.
(SIC)
The defined objects are: Survey Measurement Type Code,_
SCM SIC Objects I Survey Operating Mode Code, SCM ID Code, Survey
- _ _ _ _ i Sequence Code, and the Survey Interrelated Code.
SCM SIC Fundamental I The SIC is made up of elements and numbers. An element Objects is an alphanumeric.
Fundamental Object Data Each SCM SIC Fundamental Object has a data type defined !
Type as I alphanumeric or 1 digit.
Survey Strip iA continuous data set logged by the SCM.
