Survey Report MA2 Discharge Outfall (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-016 comments from ORISE Letter dated June 22, 2005)

1) Attachment 2-3 of appendix A is provided
2) Attachment 6-2 of appendix A is provided
3) Change Table 1 "75% Action Level" to "75% Administrative Limit"
4) Change the first paragraph of section 6.1.1 starting at the second sentence to:

"The 75% Administrative Limit was 4.89 pCi/gm and the adjusted surrogate Csl37 DCGLw for this survey unit was 6.52 pCi/gm (table 1 on page 2 of appendix A).

Although this is a Class 3 survey unit and the elevated measurement process does not specifically apply, the area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75% Administrative Limit. In this case, the MDCscan was below the 75%

Administrative Limit times the limiting area factor so no sample number adjustment was needed."

5) Change the first sentence of the third paragraph of section 6.1.2 to read:

"None of the ten fixed point soil samples collected in MA2 had results in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit."

6) Change the second sentence of section 7.2 to read:

"Ten soil samples were all less than the 75% Administrative Limit".

7) Change the second sentence in section 7.4.2 to read:

"The duplicate had good agreement as shown in the table below (Table 3) because they both support the same conclusion, that the survey unit passes."

8) Section 8 should be modified to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity in the soils is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in the survey unit" "2) All measurements were less than the 75% Administrative Limit in the survey unit."

Note: Some of the above changes are not based on specific comments but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Soil Sample Survey Points for Miscellaneous Survey Area MA2 l/Sf a (XT/4' GGMPAGG6provides survey points using a scale relative to the southwestern comer of the survey unit. This is cumbersome as field personnel must measure over large distances (sometimes hundreds of meters) from the single reference point To remedy this situation, this spreadsheet provides the GGMPASe survey points based on the actual location within each grid.

VXPo ;,M,. (efr/6j To use this spreadsheet, start at the grid marker. Go east the number of meters under the "E" column and then move north the number of meters in the "N" column. For simplicity, all measurements have been rounded to the nearest meter.

Survey Report OL1-7 East Yard Excavation (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-019 comments from ORISE Letter dated June 22, 2005)

1) The LBGR listed in Table 1 should be 3.19pCi/g as also shown on attachment 7-2 of the design calculation
2) Change Table 1 "75% Action Level" to "75% Administrative Limit"
3) Change the first paragraph of section 6.1.1 starting at the second sentence to:

"The 75% Administrative Limit was 4.3 pCi/gm and the adjusted surrogate Csl37 DCGLw for this survey unit was 5.73 pCi/gm (table I on page 2 of appendix A).

The area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75% Administrative Limit. In this case, the MDCscan was below the 75% Administrative Limit times the limiting area factor so no sample number adjustment was needed."

4) Change the first sentence of the second paragraph of section 6.1.2 to read:

"None of the design fixed point soil samples in OL1 -7 had results in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit".

5) Change section 7.2 beginning with the second sentence to read:

"Both alarm points were investigated and sampled. The south alarm point had activity in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit. However, the result was less than the DCGLw adjusted down for the 4.7% contribution from the de-listed radionuclides (SNEC LTP section 6.2.2.3). Since the 75% Administrative Limit is used for conservative screening purposes, and the results were below the DCGLw adjusted down by 3.45% to account for de-listed radionuclides (SNEC LTP section 6.2.2.3), no EMC test is required. The result from the north alarm point was less than the 75% Administrative Limit. Scan MDCs were adequate. Eleven design fixed point soil samples were all less than the 75% Administrative Limit. Scan fraction, scan MDC, and number of soil samples all meet LTP and MARSSIM requirements".

6) Change the second sentence in section 7.4.2 to read:

"The duplicates had good agreement as shown in the table below (Table 5) because they both support the same conclusion, that the survey unit passes."

7) Change section 8 items I and 2 to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity in the soils is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in the survey unit" "2) All measurements were less than the 75% Administrative Limit in the survey unit except the south alarm point sample, which was less than the DCGLw adjusted down by 4.7% for the de-listed radionuclides."

8) Attachment 2-2 of appendix A is provided
9) Attachment 3-1 of appendix A is provided
10) Attachment 8-1 of appendix A is provided Note: Some of the above changes are not based on specific comments but are consistent with comments made on other reports.

Although this is a Class 2 survey unit and the EMC process does not specifically apply, the area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75% Administrative Limit. In this case the MDCscan was below the 75% Administrative Limit so no fixed point number adjustment was needed."

3) Change the first sentence of the second paragraph of section 6.1.2 to read:

"None of the design fixed point measurements in MA9-1 had results in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit."

4) Change section 6.2.1 beginning with the second sentence to:

"The 75% Administrative Limit was 19834 dpm/100cm 2 (table 1 on page 2 of appendix A), and the adjusted surrogate Cs137 DCGLw for this survey unit was 26445dpm/100cm 2 (table I on page 2 of appendix A). Although this is a Class 3 survey unit and the EMC process does not specifically apply, the area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75% Administrative Limit. In this case the MDCscan was below the 75% Administrative Limit so no fixed point number adjustment was needed."

3) The number of samples used to build a surrogate ratio depends on the number of samples collected from an area that contains measurable Cs-133 7 concentrations (the surrogate). Samples collected in the OU I area during characterization activities produced few substantive Cs-137 concentrations worth sending for costly off-site analysis. In addition, the added level of conservatism employed for OL12-1 by using the extremely low 75% Administrative Limit value of 2.41 pCi/g Cs-1 37 developed for this area, is considered adequate. These and similar low contamination areas typically contain so little surrogate radionuclide that useful ratios are difficult to establish. Because the OLI I survey area contains Cs-I 37 concentrations at essentially background levels, additional sampling for this purpose is considered unwarranted. No changes to the report are required.
4) Section 7.4 change "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in two places, one each in items 2 and 3

1) Change table I line item "Action level" to read: "75% Administrative Limit"
2) The following should be appended to the first paragraph in sections 6.1.1, 6.2.1, 6.3.1, 6.4.1, 6.5.1, and 6.6.1:

"The area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75% Administrative Limit. In this case, the MDCscan was below the 75% Administrative Limit times the limiting area factor, so no sample number adjustment was required."

2) The report should be amended so the last sentence in the first paragraph in sections 6.1.2 and 6.5.2 reads:

"No biased samples were required by the initial survey design"

3) The OL3-5 discussion in section 7.2 should be amended to read:

"A soil sample taken at the alarm point revealed activity much less than the 75%

Administrative Limit, so the EMC test was not required."

4) Change section 7.2 as follows: Change "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in six places
5) Change the first sentence of the last paragraph of section 7.3.1 to read:

"The sample taken from the re-excavated location was 1.12 pCi/g Cs-137 which is less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

6) Section 7.4.2 should be amended to read:

"These duplicates had good agreement as shown in Table 9 below because both sets of data support the conclusion that the survey units pass"

7) Section 8 should be modified to read:

"1)The average residual radioactivity in the soils is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in all of the survey units" "2) All measurements in the survey units were less than the 75% Administrative Limit except for a single area in OL3-1 identified by scanning.

3) OL3-1 had elevated results that pass the EMC test. Measurements of this area after sampling were all less than the 75% Administrative Limit."
8) Instruments with efficiencies less than the minimum specified in the survey design are not used. The minimum efficiency is carried fonvard into the "Survey Request" as a prerequisite and is one of the supervisory survey completion review parameters. No changes to the report are required Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Survey Report OL3 Paved Surfaces and Concrete (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-048 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 10, 2005)

1) The survey was designed using the sign test based on the simplifying assumption that background would be insignificant and the 75% Administrative Limit in use for the DCGL is based solely on a surrogate Cs137. MARSSIM allows use of the sign test if the licensee is willing to accept the contribution of background. The SNEC LTP section 5.6.4.2 allows the use of the sign test for gross measurements if background is considered to be insignificant. The survey design is consistent with MARSSIM and the SNEC LTP. No changes to the report are required.
2) Change line item in table I from "Action Level" to "75% Administrative Limit"
3) In section 7.2 change "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in three places
4) Section 7.4.2 change the second sentence to read:

"These duplicates had good agreement as shown in Table 5 below, because they support the same conclusion, that the survey units pass, and they are within 20% of the initial result."

5) Change section 8.0 to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity on the asphalt and concrete surfaces is less than the 75% Administrative Limit in the survey units

2) All measurements in the survey units were less than the 75% Administrative Limit"
6) The sheet in the design showing an efficiency of 21.7% is for a 43-37 detector SN92501. The minimum efficiency required for 43-37 detectors was 20%. No changes in the report are required.
7) Change the second sentence in the last paragraph of section 6.1.1, 6.2.1, and 6.3.1 from "The Administrative Limit was >1190 ncpm." To:

"The Administrative Limit was > 1190 ncpm (Table 2, page 3 of Appendix A)."

Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Survey Report OL7 Paved Surfaces and Concrete (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-042 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 10, 2005)

1) The survey was designed using the sign test based on the simplifying assumption that background would be insignificant and the 75% Administrative Limit in use for the DCGL is based solely on a surrogate Cs 137. MARSSIM allows use of the sign test if the licensee is willing to accept the contribution of background. The SNEC LTP section 5.6.4.2 allows the use of the sign test for gross measurements if background is considered to be insignificant. The survey design is consistent with MARSSIM and the SNEC LTP. No changes to the report are required.
2) Section 2.1.2 of appendix A discusses the use of the Nal for scanning. Since the surrogate is CsI37, any instrument can be used that is capable of detecting Cs137.

Appendix A demonstrates that the detection efficiency and MDCscan is adequate for FSS. Common industry practice and historical practice at SNEC is to use gamma sensitive instruments when surface conditions warrant. In this case, the macadam was old (-40 years old) porous, broken, etc. and was more appropriately scanned using gamma sensitive equipment. No changes to the report are required.

3) Change section 7.4.2 to read:

"These duplicates had good agreement, as shown in Table 5 below, because they support the same conclusion, that the survey units pass, and they are within 20% of the original results"

4) Change section 8.0 to read:

"I) The average residual radioactivity on the asphalt and concrete surfaces is less than the 75% Administrative Limit in the survey units

2) All measurements in the survey units were less than the 75% Administrative Limit"
5) Instruments with efficiencies less than the minimum specified in the survey design are not used. The minimum efficiency is carried forward into the "Survey Request" as a prerequisite and is one of the supervisory survey completion review parameters. No changes to the report are required
6) Change section 7.2 as follows: change "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in three places Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

3) Instruments with efficiencies less than the minimum specified in the survey design are not used. The minimum efficiency is carried fonvard into the "Survey Request" as a prerequisite and is one of the supervisory survey completion review parameters. No changes to the report are required.
4) Change the Table I line item "Action Level" to "75% Administrative Limit"
5) Change the last sentence of the first paragraph of sections 6.1.1, 6.2.1 and 6.3.1:

"Although this is a Class 2 survey unit and the area factor does not specifically apply, the area factor can be used to compare the MDCscan to the 75%

Administrative Limit. In this case, the MDCscan was below the 75%

Administrative Limit times the limiting area factor so no sample number adjustment was needed."

1) The SR sheets are signed. Copies are attached.
2) Change last sentence in section 6.1.2 under heading "Results Conclusion" to read:

".... The applicable 75% Administrative Limit and therefore..."

3) Section 8.0 change all three line items to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity in the soils is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit.

2) Since all measurements were either less than the 75% Administrative Limit, or were discarded from the batch, no EMC test is required.
3) Remediation of soils prior to FSS reduced levels of residual radioactivity to below the concentrations necessary to meet the 75% Administrative Limit."

Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

A repeat static measurement was not performed in response to the alarm in batch SRA-05-044-2. This was due to an oversight of the technician. The QAO was notified.
3. Special Notes:

R. Shepherd performed two quality checking inspections. Inspection performed on 12/04104 primarily checked SRA technician's qualifications and observed pre-op checking of detectors. One discrepancy was identified. The technician did not have a copy of the SRA-SXTN-106 Rev. 0 procedure, Operation of the SMCM /Conveyor System'. A copy was obtained. An inspection performed on 1/18105 observed a point source alarm/response by SRA technician and site Rad Con technician to ensure compliance with SR requirements. No discrepancies were identified.

Survey Report OL1-6 Trench (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-052 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 11, 2005)

1) Section 7.2.1 mentions that the soil samples were not I meter thick samples. The samples were 6-inch thick samples. Because the trench was about 1 meter deep, shallower samples are appropriate. No change to the report is needed.
2) Change section 8.0 "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in three places one each in items 1, 2, and 3.
3) In Appendix A-1 the Microshield model is slightly different than those of other reports. Different cases may involve calculations of gamma flux in different models.

Microshield calculations are then repeated in order to provide appropriate conversion factors. Engineering judgment is used in all of these cases to develop appropriate model conditions. In this case, the difference between 1I -inch radius and 11. 1 -inch radius produces less than a 2% difference in the surface area of the assumed source.

This difference is trivial compared to the variance associated with the judgment involved in developing the models and changes in assumptions that are case -to case and then comparing that to the actual surfaces scanned. No changes to the report are needed

4) Background values used in Appendix A-1 are different than those used in other reports. Background values are obtained during the design process, typically from the survey unit itself, where activity is not expected or known to not be present. Different instruments may vary in backgrounds to the extent noted in the comment. In addition, different surface materials will vary significantly, particularly at SNEC where fly ash and 'clinkers' as well as natural rocks and soils are present. Further, the MDCscan calculation is an a-priori estimate of the MDC. Since this is an estimate, primarily for demonstrating that the survey design meets detection capability requirements, different engineering choices may be made under different circumstances in designing different surveys. Since background directly affects the MDC, it may in one circumstance be desirable to estimate the probable MDC using the typical background, and in another to provide a conservative maximum MDC based on the highest expected background in order to demonstrate that the MDC will be adequate in any circumstance. Therefore, the observed backgrounds and choices made in evaluating the a-priori MDCscan do not materially affect the FSS results and no change to the report is required.
5) Change "DCGLW' to "75% Administrative Limit" in section 7.4 item I Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Survey Report OL2 Open Land (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-052 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 11, 2005)

1) The survey of the residual concrete pads in OL2 was design6d using the sign test based on the simplifying assumption that background would be insignificant and the 75%

Administrative Limit in use for the DCGL is based solely on a surrogate Cs 137.

MARSSIM allows use of the sign test if the licensee is willing to accept the contribution of background. The SNEC LTP section 5.6.4.2 allows the use of the sign test for gross measurements if background is considered to be insignificant. The survey design is consistent with MARSSIM and the SNEC LTP. No changes to the report are required.

2) Section 8.0 change the four line items to read:

"I) The average residual radioactivity in the soils is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in both of the survey units.

2) The average residual radioactivity on the concrete is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit.

3) All measurements in all three of the survey units were less than the 75%

Administrative Limit

4) Samples collected for investigation of the alarm point in the OL2-2 survey unit were all less than the 75% Administrative Limit"
3) Instruments with efficiencies less than the minimum specified in the survey design are not used. The minimum efficiency is carried forward into the "Survey Request" as a prerequisite and is one of the supervisory survey completion review parameters. No changes to the report are required.
4) Change first sentence of second paragraph of section 6.3.2 to read:

"None of the fixed point measurements in MA8-5 had results in excess of the 75%

Administrative Limit."

5) In section 7.2, change "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in four places.
6) Change "...discusse .. ." to "...discussed..." in first line of section 2.0 Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Survey Report Obi Macadam (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-051 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 11, 2005)

1) Change table 1 line about "action level" to "75% Administrative Limit"
2) Change line item I in the executive summary to read:

"...scans of 100% of the macadam surfaces in 18 grids covering about 42% of the 1800 square meters of the total area in the grids".

3) The survey was designed using the sign test based on the simplifying assumption that background would be insignificant and the 75% Administrative Limit in use for the DCGL is based solely on a surrogate Cs137. MARSSIM allows use of the sign test if the licensee is willing to accept the contribution of background. The SNEC LTP section 5.6.4.2 allows the use of the sign test for gross measurements if background is considered to be insignificant. No changes to the report are required.
4) Change the last sentence of the first paragraph of sections 6.1.1, 6.2.1, 6.3.1, 6.4.1, 6.5.1, 6.6.1, 6.7.1, 6.8.1, 6.9.1, and 6.10.1 to read:

"In this case the MDCscan was below the 75% Administrative Limit so no fixed point number adjustment was needed"

5) Change the second sentence of the first paragraph of sections 6.1.2, 6.2.2, 6.3.2, 6.4.2, 6.5.2, 6.6.2, 6.7.2, 6.8.2, 6.9.2, and 6.10.2 to read:

"None of the design fixed point measurements in [survey unit name e.g. MA8-6]

had results in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit."

6) Table 12 is incorrect due to a personnel error in transferring the data into the report.

Other FSS reports were reviewed to confirm that this was an isolated error. The table should read as follows:

Fixed Point Result QC result FePn (m (cpm)

MA8-6 3 387 428 MA8-7 1 364 383 MA8-8 2 357 394 MA8-9 1 384 401 MA8-10 6 331 322 MA8-11 7 341 343 MA8-12 5 369 376 MA8-13 2 343 349 MA8-16 1 327 381 MA8-17 1 344 428 The text of section 7.4.2 should be changed to read:

"These duplicate had good agreement as shown in the table below (Table 12) because they support the same conclusion, that the survey units pass and because the results are within 20% or are less than twice the background"

7) Section 8 should be changed to read:

" 1) The average residual radioactivity on the surfaces is less than the 75%

2) All measurements were less than the 75% Administrative Limit in all of the survey units"
8) The sheet in the design showing an efficiency of 21.7% is for a 43-37 detector SN92501. The minimum efficiency required for 43-37 detectors was 20%. No changes in the report are required.

Note: Some of the above changes may not be based on specific comments for this report but are consistent with comments made on other reports

Survey Report GAl Small Penclec Garage (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-054 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 11, 2005)

1) The cumulative frequency distribution of the data collected is used to select a background from a group of backgrounds that are collected on various surfaces at the site. No changes to the report are required.
2) Change section 5.0 to read:

"The maximum MDC observed for a 100 square centimeter area in the SCM scanning was about 28% of the 75% Administrative Limit"

3) Change section 6.1 last paragraph to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit. No follow-up 43-68 GFPC scans were required."

4) Change section 7.2 first sentence to read:

"GAl-I had no activity in excess of the 75% Administrative Limit during scan surveys of approximately 85% of the surface"

5) Add the following paragraph at the end of section 5.0:

"Portions of this survey were conducted with an automated positionally sensitive proportional counter Surface Contamination Monitor (SCM) system. The SCM is typically used in a scanning (rolling) mode. In rolling mode, the SCM logs information in 25 square centimeter 'bins' by logging data for each 5 cm width of the detector and for each 5 cm of travel. A precision wheel encoder measures the distance traveled. Data are recorded in 25 square centimeter pixels over the entire surface surveyed, meaning the SCM records 400 measurements for every square meter it covers. When SCM data is analyzed, the software considers each 25 square centimeter measurement as 1/4 of four separate 100 square centimeter areas. This technique ensures that the highest activity in any single 100 square centimeter area is identified. The collection of large amounts of data in discrete values allows the data to be evaluated via statistical methods that consider the distribution of activity on the surface in addition to its average concentration."

6) Section 8 should be changed to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity on the surfaces is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in the survey unit.

2) All measurements were less than the 75% Administrative Limit in the survey unit."
7) Since the garage pad did not contain specific contaminated systems and was of interest for residual radioactivity only because of the long-term presence of the garage at the site, the surfaces are expected to be uniformly contaminated with no locations of unusual concentrations such as would occur if systems or equipment were present.

Therefore, the surfaces surveyed with the SCM were fully representative of the possible residual radioactivity. No changes to the report are required.

8)Add the following after the last paragraph of section 6.1:

"The following table provides the summary of the SCM data."

Maximum Mean of Survey Name 100cm2 Area 100 cm 2 Areas MDC 2 (dpm/1 00cm 2 ) (dpm/1 00cm2 ) (dpm/I00cm2 )

Survcy Report GAl Small Penelec Garage (continued)

9) Change section 7.4.2 to read:

"Since no fixed point measurements were required due to the unique nature of the SCM scanning, no specific fixed point QC measurements were taken. However, since the SCM collects data in a positionally sensitive pixel process similar to full coverage fixed point measurements, comparisons of the SCM data can be made.

Although exact pixel to pixel comparisons are impractical due to the limitations on the positional accuracy, the overall results agree as shown in the table below, since both sets reach the same conclusion that the survey unit passes."

Survey Report Weir Discharge Area (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-053 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 11, 2005)

Ia) Insert the following as a new paragraph in section 6.3 after the first paragraph:

"Samples were collected to a depth of about 6 inches because the sample point was in a trench already more than a meter below grade. Since the intent of I meter sampling is to represent the soil thickness used in the site dose model, 6-inch samples may be used when the sample point is more than I meter below grade. This would actually be conservative when the activity is not expected to be distributed through an additional meter of soil."

Ib) Add the following to the end of the new second paragraph (as mentioned above) of section 6.3:

"The SNEC LTP (section 5.4.3.1) allows use of alternative sampling designs - e.g. to collect 30 samples if there is no statistical design. This data set meets these requirements."

Ic) Add the following to section 2.0 after the sentence ending "... by September 2001."

" The soil under the pipe was originally unclassified, but was treated as Class 3 for the purposes of the Final Status Survey Report."

2) This result was inside the pipe and does not represent activity found in the soils. The pipe was completely removed. No changes to the report are required.
3) Appendix A-I is SR-0020 closeout results for one phase of the remediation support survey work. Since the content of the removed pipe is actually irrelevant to the Final Status Survey, delete the last sentence in section 6.3.
4) This is a reference to a conservative remediation and sampling assumption. During the remediation of the pipe, there was no evidence of leakage from the piping into the ground below, and the elevated measurements reported for inside the pipe do not correspond to any activity found outside the pipe. No changes to the report are required
5) The highest concrete sample result (in pCi/g of Cs-137) was compared to the Cs-137 volumetric DCGLw as a point of reference, and not as a measure of compliance since these were simply remediation support surveys. Note however, that if one were to treat the concrete volume as volumetric material (typical for concrete when it is broken up),

the mean concentration of the headwall would be well within the required 75%

Administrative Limit for this area. With regard to why static measurements were not performed with the GM detector used for scanning the surface, this survey work was in support of the remediation of the Weir line and was not originally planned as an FSS type survey. The actual surface area of the Weir line headwall is about 7.3 square meters with an estimated volume of about 1.2 cubic meters. It is simply a slab of concrete through which the Weir pipe was retained at the rivers edge. Most of the structure is below grade or below the river water line. Because of the small size of the monolith and the expected deterioration in the riverbank zone, a volumetric DCGL consistent with section 5.5.3.4.4 of the SNEC LTP is dosimetrically appropriate. No changes to the report are required 6a) Section 8.0 change "DCGLw" to 75% Administrative Limit" in three paces - one each in items 1, 2, and 3

Survey Report Weir Discharge Area (Continued) 6b). The Weir pipe soil bed should have the following conclusion (No. 4) added to Section 8.0:

"4. The Weir pipe soil bed did not contain concentrations of residual contamination above the site Administrative Limit for Cs-1 37 concentration, as evidenced by samples taken during remediation support survey work. Results support the conclusion that additional survey and/or sampling efforts in this area are not warranted consistent with the SNEC LTP section 5.4.3.1."

7) Portions of the pipe were scanned. However, since the pipe was removed, the extent of the survey of the pipe is not relevant to the FSS. No changes to the report are required.

8)Different cases may involve calculations of gamma flux in different models.

Microshield calculations are then repeated in order to provide appropriate conversion factors. Engineering judgment is used in all of these cases to develop appropriate model conditions. In this case, the difference between 11-inch radius and 11.1-inch radius produces less than a 2% difference in the surface area of the assumed source.

This difference is trivial compared to the variance associated with the judgment involved in developing the models and changes in assumptions that are case -to case and then comparing that to the actual surfaces scanned. No changes to the report are needed.

9) Because the total efficiency is arbitrarily set to 10% (procedure E900-OPS-4524.42 SNEC Radiological Controls Instrument Operations Manual) when using a pancake GM probe (actual efficiencies are typically higher) the 10% value is entered in the instrument efficiency directly (Ei =0.1). In this case, the Es must be set to equal 1 in order for the total efficiency to remain 10%. No changes to the report are needed.

2) Section 6.2, Table 4 - A higher sample density was desired in the subsurface region of the CV yard. The WRS testing approach provided as many or more samples than the Sign Test would have for this area, and so the WRS testing approach was used to increase the sample population. Use of the WRS statistical testing approach is permitted by the SNEC LTP (as an example, see SNEC LTP Table 5-17). While this may have been inconsistent with other areas around the site where the Sign Test was applied exclusively, the area adjacent to the CV was considered a special subsurface volume with a much higher potential for contamination than at other SNEC site locations. No changes to the report are needed.

4) Since the surrogate isotope is Cs137, any instrument can be used that is capable of detecting Cs137. Appendix A demonstrates that the detection efficiency and MDCscan for a Nal detector is adequate for FSS. Common industry practice and historical practice at SNEC is to use gamma sensitive instruments when surface conditions warrant. In this case, the surfaces were old (-40 years old) porous, broken, etc. and were more appropriately scanned using gamma sensitive equipment. No changes to the report are required
5) Change section 8.0 references to "DCGLw" to "75% Administrative Limit" in 3 places

MARSSIM allows use of the sign test if the licensee is willing to accept the contribution of background. The SNEC LTP section 5.6.4.2 allows the use of the sign test for gross measurements if background is considered to be insignificant. The survey design is consistent with MARSSIM and the SNEC LTP. No changes to the report are required.
2) Change second sentence of section 7.4.2 to read:

1) The cumulative frequency distribution of the data collected is used to select a background from a group of backgrounds that are collected on various surfaces at the site. No changes to the report are required.
2) Add the following paragraph at the end of section 5.0:

"Portions of this survey were conducted with an automated positionally sensitive proportional counter Surface Contamination Monitor (SCM) system. The SCM is typically used in a scanning (rolling) mode. In rolling mode, the SCM logs information in 25 square centimeter 'bins' by logging data for each 5 cm width of the detector and for each 5 cm of travel.

This technique ensures that the highest activity 100 square centimeter area is identified.

The collection of large amounts of data in discrete values allows the data to be evaluated via statistical methods that consider the distribution of activity on the surface in addition to its average concentration."

3) SNEC agrees not to use I square meter generic default averaging therefore the third paragraph of sections 6.1.1, 6.2.1, 6.3.1, 6.4.1, 6.5.1, 6.6.1, 6.7.1, 6.8.1, and 6.9.1 should be changed to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit. No follow-up 43-68B scans were required."

4) Since the intake tunnel did not contain specific contaminated systems and was of interest for residual radioactivity only because of the recirculation of SSGS discharge water, the surfaces are expected to be uniformly contaminated with no locations of unusual concentrations such as would occur if systems or equipment were present.

Therefore, the surfaces surveyed were fully representative of the possible residual radioactivity. No changes to the report are required.

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

Change the last sentence of section 6.3.1 to read:

Change the fourth paragraph of section 6.4.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit except for a three square meter area that had a maximum value of 11553 dpm/l 00cm 2 . This area was resurveyed using hand-held instrumentation. An elevated measurement comparison on this area is provided in section 6.4.3."

Change the last sentence of section 6.5.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

Change the fourth paragraph of section 6.6.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

Change the first two sentences of the fourth paragraph of section 6.7.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit except for two one square meter areas that had a maximum value of 7147 dpm/1 00cm 2 . An elevated measurement comparison test is shown in section 6.7.3."

Change the last sentence of section 6.8.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

Change the last sentence of section 6.9.1 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated activity less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

Add section 6.7.3 as follows:

"6.7.3 Elevated Measurement Comparison Two areas were identified with the SCM scan, each less than one square meter in size. The maximum observed 100cm 2 value was 7147dpm/100 cm2 . This result can be used in an elevated measurement comparison using MARSSIM equation 8.2 as follows.

Assuming two areas of 1 square meter each one at 7147 and the other at 6742 dpm/1 00cm 22a survey unit average of 21 dpm/I 00cm 2 , and using the 75% Administrative Limit then Equation 8.2 becomes:

(7147-21)/(6605*1 1.2) + (6742-21)/(6605*1 1.2) + 21/6605 =

0.094 + 0.088 + 0.003 = 0.19 Therefore, the elevated measurement comparison using highly conservative assumptions (e.g. that each entire square meter is at the maximum observed for any single 100cm area in that square meter instead of the average for the square meter, using two separate I square meter areas instead of one 2 square meter area reduces the effective area factor, using the 75% Administrative Limit instead of the DCGLw adjusted down by the 4.7% for the de-listed radionuclides per the SNEC LTP section 6.2.2.3, etc.), is 19% of the EMC test limit. Therefore the survey unit passes."

Survey Report SSGS Discharge Tunnel (continued) lb) Since the class 2 and class 3 areas of the discharge tunnel did not contain specific contaminated systems and those areas of the discharge tunnel that were of higher potential for residual contamination were designated class 1, the class 2 and class 3 surfaces are expected to be uniformly contaminated with no locations of unusual concentrations such as would occur if systems or equipment were present. Therefore, the class 2 and class 3 surfaces surveyed with the SCM were fully representative of the possible residual radioactivity while class I areas did receive separate fixed-point measurements. No changes to the report are required.

lc)&ld) Change section 7.4.2 to add after table 7.4-1 read:

"Since the SCM collects data in a positionally sensitive pixel process similar to full coverage fixed point measurements, comparisons of the SCM data can be made.

Although exact pixel to pixel comparisons are impractical due to the limitations on the positional accuracy, the overall results agree as shown in the table below, since both sets reach the same conclusion that the survey unit passes."

3) Change the second sentence in the second paragraph of section 7.4.2 to read:

"... supported by both the initial and QC results (reference 9.8) and they are within 20% or two times the background".

4) A special dose assessment was performed to demonstrate compliance because of the unique condition of the survey unit (many feet below ground, narrow tunnel) and because of the multiple types of measurements collected. Section 2.5.1.1 of MARSSIM provides for the option of performing specific dose assessments: "as an alternative to the unity rule, the dose or risk due to the actual residual radioactivity distribution can be calculated...". No changes to the report are required.
5) The elements of the data listed as NA in the table were not available from the SCM vendor. Since this is a completed design. The design calculation will not be revised for this clarification. No changes to the report are required.

Surey} Report SSGS Dischargc Tunnel (continued)

6) Add the following paragraph at the end of section 5.0:

"Portions of this survey were conducted with an automated positionally sensitive proportional counter Surface Contamination Monitor (SCM) system. The SCM is typically used in a scanning (rolling) mode. In rolling mode, the SCM logs information in 25 square centimeter 'bins' by logging data for each 5 cm width of the detector and for each 5 cm of travel. A precision wheel encoder measures the distance traveled. Data are recorded in 25 square centimeter pixels over the entire surface surveyed, meaning the SCM records 400 measurements for every square meter it covers. When SCM data is analyzed, the software considers each 25 square centimeter measurement as 1/4 of four separate 100 square centimeter areas. This technique ensures that the highest activity 100 square centimeter area is identified.

The collection of large amounts of data in discrete values allows the data to be evaluated via statistical methods that consider the distribution of activity on the surface in addition to its average concentration."

Survey Report SSGS Discharge Tunnel Transition Area (GPU Nuclear Letter E910-05-039 comments from ORISE Letter dated August 17, 2005)

1) Section 2.2.1 of appendix A discusses the use of the Nal for scanning for difficult to reach areas or highly corroded surfaces (where beta efficiencies would be limited).

Since the surrogate is Cs137, any instrument can be used that is capable of detecting Cs137. Appendix A demonstrates that the detection efficiency and MDCscan is adequate for FSS. Common industry practice and historical practice at SNEC is to use gamma sensitive instruments when surface conditions warrant. In this case, the surfaces were old (up to 70 years) porous, broken, etc. and were more appropriately scanned using gamma sensitive equipment. No changes to the report are required.

2) Change table 7.4-1 last two fixed-point location identifiers to:

Nal SS25-2 5 Nal SS25-2 20 Add the following to the first paragraph of section 7.4.2:

"GFPC data and Nal data for SS25-2 5 was within 20% or a factor of two of the background. Nal data for SS25-2 20 cannot be specifically compared for the within two times background criteria because the data recorded was in gross cpm with no specific background acquired. However, the data show that the results of both the initial and QC scan were less than the scan action level."

3) Change section 8.0 items 1 and 2 to read:

"All SCM surveys indicated less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

3) Since the class 2 and class 3 areas of the basement were wall surfaces and did not contain specific contaminated systems and those areas of the basement that were of higher potential for residual contamination were designated class 1, the class 2 and class 3 surfaces are expected to be uniformly contaminated with no locations of unusual concentrations such as would occur if systems or equipment were present.

Therefore, the class 2 and class 3 surfaces surveyed with the SCM were fully representative of the possible residual radioactivity. No changes to the report are required.

5) Change the second sentence in section 7.4.2 to read:

"These duplicates had good agreement as shown in the table below (Table 7.4-2) because they both support the same conclusion, that the survey units pass, and because they are within 20% or a factor of two times the background except for SS 14-2 point 10. SS 14-2 point ten results in both cases of the initial and QC measurement, had unshielded results more than twice the backgrounds. This sample pair does not meet the criteria in reference 9.8. However, the remaining results (10 measurement) meet replicate requirements.

"All SCM surveys indicated less than the 75% Administrative Limit."

I c) Since the class 3 areas of the firing aisle were floor and wall surfaces and did not contain specific contaminated systems the class 3 surfaces are expected to be uniformly contaminated with no locations of unusual concentrations such as would occur if systems or equipment were present. Therefore, the class 3 surfaces surveyed with the SCM were fully representative of the possible residual radioactivity. No changes to the report are required.

Id) Change items 1 and 2 in section 8.0 to read:

"1) The average residual radioactivity on the surfaces is less than the 75%

Administrative Limit in both of the survey units.

2) All measurements were less than the 75% Administrative Limit in both of the survey units."

2&3) Change section 7.4.2 to read:

"Since no fixed point measurements were required due to the unique nature of the SCM scanning, no specific fixed point QC measurements were taken. However, since the SCM collects data in a positionally sensitive pixel process similar to full coverage fixed point measurements, comparisons of the SCM data can be made.

Although exact pixel to pixel comparisons are impractical due to the limitations on the positional accuracy, the overall results agree as shown in the table below, since both sets reach the same conclusion that the survey unit passes."

4) Add the following paragraph at the end of section 5.0:

"Portions of this survey were conducted with an automated positionally sensitive proportional counter Surface Contamination Monitor (SCM) system. The SCM is typically used in a scanning (rolling) mode. In rolling mode, the SCM logs information in 25 square centimeter 'bins' by logging data for each 5 cm width of the detector and for each 5 cm of travel. A precision wheel encoder measures the distance traveled. Data are recorded in 25 square centimeter pixels over the entire surface surveyed, meaning the SCM records 400 measurements for every square meter it covers. When SCM data is analyzed, the software considers each 25 square centimeter measurement as 1/4 of four separate 100 square centimeter areas. This technique ensures that the highest activity 100 square centimeter area is identified.

The collection of large amounts of data in discrete values allows the data to be evaluated via statistical methods that consider the distribution of activity on the surface in addition to its average concentration."
