Subject Shonka Discharge and Intake Tunnels 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 SSGS Discharge and Intake Tunnels. The Intake Tunnel consists of multiple parts: the Main Intake Tunnel and both the North and South Intake tunnels, which split off from the Main Tunnel. These latter tunnels are located under the SSGS footprint.

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 Discharge Tunnel area is divided into nine (9) survey units, i.e. three (3) Class 1, two (2) Class 2 and four (4) Class 3 survey units.

2.1.2 The Discharge Tunnel Survey Unit (SU) Numbers are as follows:

SU Number Area Description Classification Area (me)

SS1 Floor(first150ft) 1 120 SS2 Floor (next 235 ft) 2 175 SS3 Floor (last 315 ft) 3 234 SS4 Ceiling (first 150 ft) 2 120 SS5 Ceiling (last 550 ft) 3 400 SS6-1 South Wall (first 150 ft) 1 145 (Includes % of east wall @ beginning of tunnel)

2.1.4 The Survey Unit Numbers for these tunnels are as follows:

SU Number Area Description Classification Area (ml)

SS19-1 Main Intake Tunnel floor 2 167 SS19-2 North Tunnel Floor 2 184 SS19-3 South Tunnel Floor 2 154 SS2O-1 Main Intake Walls 2 269 SS20-2 North Tunnel Walls 2 324 SS20-3 South Tunnel Walls 2 359 SS21-1 Main Intake Ceiling 3 162 SS21-2 North Tunnel Ceiling 3 184 SS21-3 South Tunnel Ceiling 3 154 2.1.5 The number of static measurement points will be developed, as applicable, after SRA completes their survey and results are reviewed by the FSS group.

2.1.6 The minimum scan coverage for Class 1 areas will be 100%, Class 2 areas, 50%

and for Class 3 areas, 10-50%.

2.1.7 Scan speed will be set in accordance with SRA procedures and the SNEC MDCSCQn value calculated for structure surfaces.

2.1.8 The surface DCGLW for this design is determined to be 6174 dpml100 cm 2 based on the attached spreadsheet calculation (Attachment 3). This value is the 75%

administrative limit of the calculated surrogate Cs-1 37 value (8233 dpm/l 00 cm2).

2.1.9 The surface area DCGL"C will use the Cs-137 surface area factor for a 1-i 2 area equal to 11. This value is calculated to be 67,914 dpml100 cm 2 .

2.1.10 The MDC!A.Q value for this design that SRA must achieve is 3087 dpml100 cm2 .

2.1.11 The volumetric DCGLw for this design is determined to be 4.78 pCilq based on the attached spreadsheet calculation (Attachment 9). This value represents the 75% administrative limit of the calculated surrogate Cs-137 value (6.38 pCi/g).

2.1.12 Areas greater than the DCGLw must be identified, documented, marked, and bounded to include an area estimate.

2.1.13 Class 1 areas with surface deformations that cannot be surveyed by Shonka will be identified by marking or painting around the suspect area's perimeter.

2.1.14 Remediation is indicated when any area exceeds 3 x the DCGLw for any scan measurement or when the value for any area of -1 square meter is greater than the DCGL. Note: If additional remediation is performed the survey unit design is void.

4.2 SNEC LTP section 2.2.4.1.4 and Figure 2-18 provide a description of the SSGS Discharge Tunnel.

4.3 SNEC LTP section 2.2.4.1.7 and Figures 2-26 and 2-28 provide a description of the Main Intake Tunnels.

4.4 Remediation History The Discharge Tunnel was contaminated as a result of radioactive liquid effluent discharges from the SNEC Facility. Ground water and several inches of silt on the floor of this below grade structure have been removed to adequately survey this area for characterization and final release. Several piping sections have been removed as they were near or above initial DCGLs values. In addition the north wall opposite Seal Chamber

  1. 3 has been remediated (scabbled). In the SNEC LTP, Figure 2-18 shows this tunnel in detail.

During operation of the SSGS, water was drawn from the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River. A dam was utilized to impound the river in the area of the intake structure, which included the Intake tunnel. The intake water system only provided intake of river water to the SSGS and no discharges to the river were made via this pathway. During freezing weather, warm water from the SSGS Discharge Tunnel was diverted and allowed to flow into the SSGS Intake Tunnel via a pathway that utilized the Spray Pond supply piping.

This configuration was established in order to prevent ice formation on the intake tunnel screen wash and filtration system components. This flow path, by use of discharge tunnel water, would have provided a mechanism for low-level radioactivity to enter the SSGS intake tunnel. In the SNEC LTP, Figures 2-25 and 2-28 show the SSGS Intake Tunnel in detail.

Subject Shonka Discharge and Intake Tunnels FSS Survey Design Sediment and concrete core sampling was performed in the Intake Tunnel. Results of these samples are documented in the SNEC LTP. In summary a total of 174 sediment samples were taken throughout the Intake Tunnel. Of these, 142 samples showed only Cs-1 37 above MDC. The average Cs-137 value was 0.46 pCi/g and the highest, 1.8 pCi/g.

Concrete core bores were obtained throughout the tunnel, analyzed and found to be

<MDC.

4.5 This survey determines the effective DCGLw value for Cs-137 using the spreadsheet mix in Attachment 2. A 25% reduction to the effective 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 to the calculated Cs-137 limit, e.g. 0.75 x 8,233 dpm/100 cm2 = 6174 dpm/100 cm2 .

4.6 The MDCcan calculation is determined based on LTP section 5.52.5. The calculation consists of the following: 8,233 dpm/100 cm2 x 0.75 x 0.5 = 3,087 dpm/100 cm2 .

4.7 Special measurements including gamma-ray spectroscopy are not included in this survey design.

4.8 Static and other survey measurements may be conducted as applicable after review of the SRA survey is completed. This design will be revised to incorporate these surveys as determined by the FSS group.

4.9 The survey design checklist is listed in Attachment 1.

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.

SCM PROCEDURE 001, REVS DATE: 917101 PAGE 4 OF 14 TITLE: CONFIRMATION AND CALIBRATION OF THE INCREMENTAL ENCODER The user must be cautious to operate the SCMN in straight lines parallel to the measuring tape. Failure to do so can result in distance errors of more than 1%.

ITEM DESCRIPTION The Surface Contamination Monitor is a mobile platform SCMI containing detectors, support electronics, and data logger used for conducting radiological survevs.

Survey Information Management System - SINIS is flexible and comprehensive interfacing soffivare for the SRA SCM. SLS processes the SCNI instrument data with a sophisticated data parser, integrated spreadsheet. and powerful special functions such S1.IS as spatial data filters. SIMIS provides the most flexible reporting system available for printing survey records or complete stand-alone survey reports. SINIS contains all the tools needed to meaningfullv conmmunicate between the SCIA and the data analysis team.

Position Sensitive Proportional Counter - This is a radiation detector that is capable of establishing where alongifie detectora pulse is sensed (the system is described in NUREG/CR-6450).

PSPC The detectors are similar in efficiency to other counters, but have backgrounds associated with small area detectors (5cm x 5cm).

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.

SRC Source Response Check - Determines if the system is operating the same from day-to-dav.

PBC Performance Based Check - Determines the system efficiency and performance.

4. General Information 4.1. Rolling Mode Check the wheel encoder upon arrival on site per SCNI Procedure 001 . Check the PSPC per "SC;\MI Procedure 007W.

The Project Manager establishes the survey speed based on the isotopes of concern and the desired sensitivities set forth bv the client. The SCMI system is capable of concurrent alpha. beta and ganmia sunreys.

An SCM9 survev uses the concept of survey strips. SINIS reassembles the strips to provide complete documentation of a surveV without requiring any manual transfer of data. The operator makes a crude sk-etch of the area and indicates the direction and start point of each strip. Record the filename of the survev 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-ridded. Mlark the surface into survey lanes using a chalk line or other markins. 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 arc about 12 feet wide.

Start the SCMI software if it is not alreadv active and enter the survey parameters:

e Survey Name (Filename).

  • Room ID, and
  • Equipment ID.

Use the speed indicator on the computer display to adjusted to the proper purvey speed.

After establishing the speed. disengaged the motor and position the SCGI evith the. fr6nt 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 bv 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 SCNI 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 information 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. Two different display types for the detector data exist in the SCM process software. For a pixilated image of the flux from the floor with color corresponding to intensity, select the visualization screen. For a more

REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPLETION OF A SURVEY USING THS SCM traditional feel, select the bar graph screen that has rows corresponding to roughly 4-inch bins across the detector. The system also provides visual and audible alarms to the user to indicate problems with operating parameters such as speed. The SCNI logs data to the disk drive from any combination of the detectors while the <Record> kev is active. This permits reassemblv of the data in the SLIMS application.

4.2. Corner Mode Use the comeer detector operated ;n a data-loaging mode to survey areas not accessible with the SCNI attached to the motor driven cart. The output of comer mode is compatible with S'VIMS. The corner detector is a PSPC operated in a similar fashion to the SCMI 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 sensilivitv that is consistent with that established for the rolling mode.

Mleasure out 10 cm strips along the surface being measured. Start the SCNI sovware if it is not alreadv active and enter the survey parameters: Sur ey Name (Filename).

ITEM DESCRIPTION The Surface Contarmination Monitor is a mobile platform SCNI containing detectors. support electronics, and data lo-g-ger used for conducting radiological survevs.

Survev Information Management System - SLNIS is flexible and comprehensive interfacing soffivarc for the SRA SCMN1. SINIS processes the SCMI 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.

Position Sensitive Proportional Counter - This is a raiation detector that is capable of establishing where along the detector a pulse is sensed (the system is described in NUREG/CR-6450).

The detectors are similar in efficiency to other counters, but have PSPC backgrounds associated with small area detectors (5cm x 5cm).

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 SRC same from day-to-day.

Performance Based Check - Determines the system efficiency and PBC performance.

SCM PROCEDURE 007, REV7. DATrE 7117103 PAGE 4 OF 12 TITLE: SOURCE RESPONSE CHECK AND PERFfRMANCE BASED CHECK OF ANY PSPC DETECTOR CONFIGURATION INSTALLED ON THE SCM 4 General Information Normal operation of the SCLM 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 ot'the survey. The PBCs establish the system performance during the survev and are the basis for the detector efficiency. Moreover, the PBCs affect the reported surface activity output by SlIMS.

SCM PROCEDURE 007, REV7 DATE. 7117103 PAGE 5 OF 12 TITLE: SOURCE RESPONSE CHECK AND PERFORMANCE BASED CHECK O ANY PSPC DETECTOR CONFIGURATION INSTALLED ON THE SCM

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 EnergviPosition analvzer by following these steps:

7.1.2. 1. Press the <Setup> button.

7.1.2.2. Press tie <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 <Usc Position Analyzer> button.

7. 1.3. Nlake sure that there are no sources under the detector.

7.1.4. Start Acquisition by pressing the <Acquire> button.

7.1.5. When the 1-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 formi in the column labeled "Total Counts" and the row labeled "Backeround 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 SCIM 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. 7117103 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".

.Vote: Iffthis procedure is being done to esohlslis a baseline, it is now Comnplete.

If this is a compar ison to baselinc.proceed to step 7.2.

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 Forn" in the column labeled "Total Baseline Background Subtracted Counts" provided in Appendix B.

7.'.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.

7.3. Performance Based Check NVote: Pejforbm the Peiforbniance Based Check (PBC) wvit/h the detectors oppratingill the Inode in st'hich the survpevs bounded by the Performanwce Based Chec/cs will be peiformined.

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 SCINI 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 SCLM 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 survevs place source on detector mylar or protective screen.

7.3.6. For comer 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 survev3 times for each PBC.

7.3.S. Record the time, filename. strip numbers, and the source used in the logbook or surveyv forml.

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. Acceptance Criteria 8.1. SRCs S. 1.1. For baseline SRCs. there is no acceptance criteria.

S. 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 S.2.1 . Use SINIS 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 I 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.

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: 9)7,01 PAGE 6 OF 28 TITLE: CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS FOR SURVEYS USING THE SCMi,%IMS 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 SCNI 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 SCMI. 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 survevs the Pro ect Nlanager may appoint a Survey Lead Technician. The Survey Lead Technician will assist the Project Manager in supervisiniz and organizing survey activities.

The Office I'Manger assists the survey team by providing clerical and logistical support.

The Office Manager Ls responsible for maintaining controlled copies of any documents provided to the client. The Office Nlanager approves all revisions to any deliverable documents. Additionally, the Oftice Nlana-er maintains the survey archive upon completion of the final deliverables of the survey. The Office Mlanager may function at the survey site. the home office. or at a remote location.

The QA reviewer insures completion of all rcquired elements of the survey: that the completed survey is in accordanrcc with all applicable procedures: and addresses all contractual survey items. In addition. the QA reviewer pertormns a final check on deliverable documents to ensure that there arc no grammatical. spelling, or punctuation type errors: that page numbering is correct: that all tables arce 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) be.fore QA review can take place.
