Saxton Nuclear Experimental Facility (SNEF)
SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING BETWEEN THE SNEC, GPU, AND NRC STAFFS On July 31, 2002, representatives of the NRC staff met at NRC Headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, with representatives of the SNEC and GPU, the licensees for the SNEF. Attachment one is a list of meeting attendees. Attachment two is the slides used by the licensees during the meeting. The licensees gave the NRC staff information at the meeting. A report entitled, Supporting Information for SNEC Surface Model; a list of the SNEC results of groundwater duplicate samples shared with the NRCs contractor, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Engineering (ORISE); and a calculation package for Sub-Surface DCGLs for the Saxton Nuclear Experimental Corporation Site have been placed in ADAMS under accession number ML022520027. The licensees also provided CDs containing information on the surface (one CD) and sub-surface (two CDs) models for dose modeling at the SNEC site. Copies of this information have been placed in the NRCs Public Document Room because the information on the CDs are not in a format that can be placed into ADAMS.
The plant was operated between 1962 and 1972, and it was shut down in May 1972. In February 1975, the plant was placed in SAFSTOR until 1986, when phased dismantlement began with the removal of the support buildings, contaminated soil, and some materials in the containment. The licensees decommissioning plan became the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report. The resubmitted License Termination Plan (LTP) was accepted for detailed technical review in March 2000.
Technical review of the LTP has generated requests for additional information (RAIs). This meeting was scheduled to discuss dose modeling issues that were discussed during a meeting held on May 8, 2002. The discussions with the licensees technical staff and consultants provided clarification and a better understanding of the site specific technical data and related information.
The NRC staff suggested that the licensees need to either justify excluding other possible water-dependent pathways (e.g., irrigation) from their subsurface drinking water analysis or recalculate the DCGL values including these pathways. The licensees agreed to provide additional calculations by the week of August 12, 2002.
Saxton has not decided whether some of the final DCGL values will be based on a 4-mrem drinking water limit or on the NRCs all-pathways 25-mrem dose limit. NRC indicated that any proposed DCGL values will be evaluated to ensure that the 25-mrem dose limit is met;
however, in terms of clean up, SNEC will have to ensure compliance with the approved DCGL values, even if they are based on a lower dose limit.
A meeting was held on August 29, 2002, to address the remaining outstanding issues. The NRC staff will try to review the dose modeling information provided by the licensees before the next meeting.
