Sampling Log.

1Ob. Add one day to the radioanalytical lab receipt date and enter the result in the "Analysis Results Due" column of the Emergency Environmental Sampling Log.

11. Enter the date and time that analysis results are received by the ESD from the radioanalytical laboratory in the "Analysis Results Received" column of the log.

12. Review analysis results (Reports of 12a. Compare the analysis less-than values Analysis). to the "Required Sensitivities for Emergency Analyses" of Tab 5. If the less-than values are greater, contact the radioanalytical lab to determine the actions, if any, that may be taken to achieve improved analysis sensitivities for those samples. -

12b. Air particulate filter and charcoal cartridge data are typically for periods longer than the unusual airborne releases.

Gamma spectroscopic analyses of particulate filters for lodine-131 when the SSES is operating normally typically do not yield positive results. Any positive results obtained for samples collected during an emergency should be multiplied by the ratio of sampling time to release time to obtain a proper appreciation for levels during the period of the unusual release.

TAB F EP-PS-248-F Revision 1 Page 5 of 8 SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

If gross beta analyses are performed, the level during the actual release may be appreciated by comparing it to an average background level of 16 pCi/m3.

Subtract the background from the reported gross beta activity for the emergency collection, multiply the net gross beta activity by the ratio of the hours of air sample collection to the hours of the release, and add back in the background.

Gross beta activity levels for air average about 16 pCVm3 annually, but may range from 8 to as much as 40 pCi/m3 for weekly analysis results without the occurrence of unusual airborne releases.

Filters with gross beta activities above 40 may suggest activity from the emergency.

NOTE:

Radon may be a significant contributor to gross Beta activity when filters are counted soon after collection. Typically, filters collected by the REMP decay several days before counting.

12c. For analysis results of water samples, note any values in excess of the analysis less-than values. Compare analysis results greater than the less-than values to the PAGs in TAB 6. Compare sample analysis results from one location to another to see if levels decline with increasing distance downriver.

TAB F EP-PS-248-F Revision 1 Page 6 of 8 SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

12d. Compare the measured values for the analyses of soil, pasture grass, and milk to the Protective Action Guides (PAGs) in TAB 6. Analysis results for soil may be reported in units of pCi/kg. To compare the results with the PAGs for soil, multiply these results by 80 kg/m2 to express them in units of pCi/M2 .

12e. Relate sample analysis results to the sample contact count rates obtained following collection in the field. Note any mismatches (high dose rates and low analysis results or vice versa).

12f. If questions arise about sample identity, compare dates, times, and locations for all samples that are provided with the analysis results to the same information provided on the appropriate Sample Receipt Forms, Sample Collection Field Sheets, or APF/CC Collection Field Sheets, as applicable.

13. Notify the DASU promptly of any results above the preventative or emergency PAGs.

15b. Copy Reports of Analysis and Sample Receipt Forms or Sample Collection Field Sheets, as necessary to give to the state's Monitoring and Analysis Coordinator.

TAB F EP-PS-248-F Revision 1 Page 7 of 8 SPECIFIC TASKS: HOW:

16. Compare state and PPL split sample 16a. Calculate RPDs for state and PPL splits analysis results. according to the following formula:

RPD= 100 IS-PI where:

RPD is the relative percent deviation between the state's analysis result and PPL's analysis result, S is the state's analysis result P is PPL's analysis result, and X is the mean of the state's and PPL's analysis results.

RPDs greater than 20% for liquids or greater than 35% for solids require the determination of the Split Error Ratio (SER) for the samples as a final test of agreement between analysis results.

16b. If applicable, calculate SERs for state and PPL splits according to the following formula:

SER= IS-P I/(2a6-+2ap) where:

SER is the Split Error Ratio, S is the state's analysis result, P is PPL's analysis result,

a. is the one-sigma uncertainty of the state's analysis result and ap 4' is the one-sigma uncertainty of PPL's analysis result.

SERs above 1.5 when the analysis results are at least 5 times analysis MDCs are an indication of disagreement between the analyses, including the calculated RPD/SER values.
