DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES (DQO) 1.0 State the problem:
Survey Area 00L-02 is the exposed land area remaining from the demolition of the concrete pad, which is the structure remaining fiom the Turbine Building. The above-grade structural part of the Turbine Building has been demolished and removed. The remaining footprint includes the at-grade concrete floor slab, miscellaneous excavations which expose underlying soil andlor concrete, and the exposed soil grade.
Events and conditions during operations and decommissioning have introduced radioactive materials into the survey area.
Examples include the following.
Contaminated drain piping was removed from under the concrete pad exposing soil underneath.
Radioactive contaminated soil from various excavations were stored in the area, contaminating the concrete pad as well as exposed soil in cratered areas. This includes the SFP excavation and the sweeper truck residues.
These areas have been posted Radioactive Materials and Contaminated Areas.
The original HSA and surveys prompted a LTP MARSSIM Classification of 3. Since that time, 00L-02 has been reclassified to Class 1 due to the reasons listed above.
00L-02-01 is a soil (open land) survey unit of 927 m2.It consists of non-contiguous craters in the concrete pad which expose soil as well as a large contiguous soil area.

Final Status Survey Planning Worksheet The problem is to determine if the residual plant related activity remaining in the soil meets the release criterion.
The planning team for this effort consists of the FSS Project Manager, FSS Radiological Engineer, FSS Field Supervisor, and FSS Technicians. The FSS Radiological Engineer will make primary decisions with the concurrence of the FSS Project Manager.
2.0 Identify the decision:
Does residual plant-related radioactivity, if present in the survey unit, exceed the LTP release criteria?
Alternative actions that may be employed are investigation, remediation and re-survey.
3.0 Identify the inputs to the decision:
Inputs to the decision include various information that will be required in the decision making process:
Sample media: soil Types of measurements: ISOCS gamma scans, direct measurements obtained via soil sampling.
Radionuclides-ofconcern: All LTP-listed radionuclides are of concern, with the primary focus on Co-60 DCGLw: Table 1 below indicates the DCGLw for Co-60 and Cs-137.
DCGLsURR: After evaluating SFP soil sample results for both ETD as well as HTD nuclides, IX pit soil sample results, HSA data for the Turbine Building, it was concluded that the most representative radiological data relative to calculating nuclide fractions useful for developing surrogate DCGLs is the Ion Exchanger Pit soil sample (SFP-CB-02-01) obtained in October 2003. Thus the Co-60 surrogate DCGLw was calculated relative to the inferred radionuclide Ni-63, and the Cs-137 surrogate DCGLw was calculated relative to the inferred radionuclides H-3 and Sr-90.
DCGLEM~ : Based on a contaminated source area of 1 m2 (see Table 1) for use during ISOCS scans. If necessary, the DCGLEM~ will be recalculated if an actual area of elevated concentration is discovered with a source area greater than 1 m2.

Final Status Survey Planning Worksheet Investigation Level ISOCS: The investigation level for ISOCS scans is calculated from the surrogate DCGLEM~ as shown by Table 1 above (ref YA-REPT-00-018-05; see Attachment 4 for the calculations). It is derived by multiplying the surrogate DCGLEMcassociated with a 1 m2 area by the ratio of the MDCs for the full field of view (i.e. 12.6 m2 for a 2m height above the surface) to the 1 m2 area at the edge of the field of view. Thus for example the calculated 0.96 pCi/g investigation level for Co-60 is sensitive enough to detect the surrogate DCGLEMcof 14.7 pCUg (derived from a non-surrogate DCGLEMcof 15.5 pCi/g).
The S P A 3 surrogated DCGLEMccalculated below of 2.3 pCUg (Co-60) and 13.7 pCi/g (Cs-137) yields a surrogated gross activity SPA-3 DCGLEMcof 9.2 pCi/g. The ISOCS Investigation Level is conservatively calculated for a 1 m2 area at the edge of the 12.6 m2 field-of-view. Thus it's detection capability is comparable to the SPA-3 DCGLEMc.
If other LTP-listed gamma-emitting radionuclides are identified in the ISOCS assays, the investigation level will be evaluated using the same criteria.
Investigation Level SPA-3 Scans: The investigation level for SPA-3 scans is a reproducible indication above background using the audible feature with headphones.
Investigation Level Soil Sample Direct Measurements: The investigation level for soil sample direct measurements is equivalent to the DCGLEMc(see above) or when any reading is above the DCGLw (s ove) and is a statistical outlier.

Radionuclides for analysis: All LTP nuclides with the focus on Co-60adCGKLA A er evaluating SFP soil sample results for both ETD as well as HTD nuclides, IX pit soil sample results, HSA data for the Turbine Building, it was concluded that the most representative radiological data relative to calculating nuclide fractions useful for developing surrogate DCGLs is the Ion Exchanger Pit soil sample (SFP-CB-02-01) obtained in October 2003.
ISOCS Nuclide Library: Library will include all gamma emitters listed in Table 1 above.
MDCs for ETD nuclides in soil samples and ISOCS: The desired MDCs for ISOCS as well as laboratory analysis of FSS soil samples should be 10% of the DCGLw. If it is impractical to achieve those, the 50% DCGL values must be achieved. Refer to Table1 above.
MDCs for HTD nuclides in soil samples: In addition to the MDC values listed in Table 1, the MDC values in Table 2 will also be transmitted to the outside laboratory via the chain-of-custody form accompanying the FSS soil samples. See for the MDC calculations.
Soil Sample DCGLEm&As noted in Table 1 above, the surrogate soil sample DCGLEMchas been calculated based on the geometry of the sampling grid, utilizing LTP Appendix 6 4 to determine the Area Factor. The Co-60 and Cs-137 DCGLemc have been used to determine the Surrogate Gross Activity DCGLemc of 6.5 pCi/g.

QC checks and measurements: QC checks for survey instruments will be performed in accordance with DP-8534. QC checks for the ISOCS will be in accordance with DP-8869 and DP-8871.
4.0 Define the boundaries of the survey:
00L-02-01 is a discontinuous array of open land areas representing:
Craters within and around the Turbine Building concrete pad.
Excavations after the removal of the concrete pad.
The edge of the Turbine Building concrete pad, where concrete was removed to accommodate excavation for PCB soil or for grading purposes.
The Survey Unit 00L-02-01 is bounded by survey areas 00L-02 to the northeast, survey area OOL-01 to the west and NOL-01 and NOL-06 to the south. The survey of 00L-02-01 will be performed during daylight hours when weather conditions will not adversely affect data acquisition.

Final Status Survey Planning Worksheet The soil sample locations will be defined by a random-start systematic grid. The ISOCS scans are 100% of the survey unit.
5.0 Develop a decision rule:
- a. If all of the sample data show that the soil concentrations of all plant-related nuclides are below the DCGLs and the sum of fractions for these nuclides are less than unity, reject the null hypothesis (i.e. the Survey Unit meets the release criteria).
- b. If the investigation levels are exceeded, perform an investigation survey. This may include the use of a statistical test.
- c. If the average of the direct measurements is below the DCGLw,but some individual measurements exceed the DCGLw, then apply a statistical test as the basis for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis.
- d. If the average concentration exceeds the DCGLw then accept the null hypothesis (i.e. the Survey Area does not meet the release).
6.0 Specify tolerable limits on decision errors:
Null hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H,), as required by MARSSIM, is stated and tested in the negative form: "Residual licensed radioactive materials in the Survey Unit exceeds the release criterion.

1.6 A final classification has been performed. Fi Classification: CLASS 1 Fi CLASS 2 CLASS 3 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES (DQO) 1.0 State the problem:
Survey Unit 00L-02-02 consists of an approximately 1,643 sq m surface area, and is located within the northern portion of the site Industrial Area. Sections of the survey unit were formerly within the Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA). Survey Unit 02 is a Class 1 open land area that is predominantly a level surface, with several excavation trenches. 00L-02-02 encompasses the sub slab soil - post-demolition and removal of the former Service Building and Service Building Annex. The post-demolition condition of 00L-02-02 includes some remnants of concrete associated with foundation walls along the survey unit perimeter. Subsurface systems that traverse or connect within Survey Unit 02 have been removed. The data collected under this plan will be used to determine whether or not residual plant-related radioactivity in soil of Survey Unit 00L-02-02 meets the LTP release criteria.
The problem as defined by this survey plan is to demonstrate that the years of plant operation did not result in an accumulation of plant-related radioactivity that exceeds the release criteria.
The planning team for this effort consists of the FSS Project Manager, FSS Radiological Engineer, FSS Field Supervisor, and FSS Technicians. The FSS Radiological Engineer will make primary decisions with the concurrence of the FSS Project Manager.

I Sample media: Soil 1
Types of measurements: Soil samples, ISOCS Assays and gamma scans Radionuclide-of-concern: Cs- 137, Co-60 and Sb- 125 Applicable DCGL: The DCGLs applied under this survey plan correspond to annual doses of 8.73 mremly (the 10-mremly DCGL adjusted for the dose contributions from sub-surface concrete structures and tritium in ground water).

Co-60 1.4E+O Eu- 152 3.6E+O Sr-90 6.OE-1 Fifteen samples obtained during the FSS of Survey Unit NOL-01-04 were used to provide the characterization data for Survey Unit 00L-02-02. The data is sufficient to support the FSSP for Survey Unit 00L-02-02 because NOL-01-04 is directly adjacent to Survey Unit 00L-02-02, shares the same classification and should represent a conservative data set.
Based on a review of the characterization data, plant-related radionuclides Co-60, Cs-137 and SB-125 were positively identified in more than 25% of the samples. The results from the characterization data are summarized below:
Co-60 (5 detects) Co-60 is present in 33% of the characterization samples. No samples exceeded the 8.73-mremly Co-60 DCGL (1.4 pCi1g) and only one sample exceeded 50% of this value.
Cs-137 (4 detects) Cs- 137 is present in 27% of the characterization samples. No samples exceeded the 8.73-mremly Cs-137 DCGL (3.0 pCi1g) with the highest less than 5% of this value.
SB- 125 (4 detects) Sb- 125 is present in 27% of the characterization samples. No samples exceeded the 8.73-mremly Sb-125 DCGL (1 1.0 pCilg) with the highest less than 2% of this value.
Ag-108m (1 detect) The activity concentration from this sample represents a small fraction (1 1%)
of the 8.73-mremly Ag-1O8m DCGL (2.5 pCi1g). Ag-108m is not expected to pose a concern in subsequent sampling.
Cs-134 (1 detects) The activity concentration from this sample represents a small fraction
(<3%) of the 8.73-mremly Cs-134 DCGL (1.7 pCi1g). Cs-134 is not expected to pose a concern in subsequent sampling.
DPF-8856.1 Rev. 4 Page 2 of 9
Eu-152 (2 detects) The activity concentrations from these samples represent a small fraction
(<5%) of the 8.73-mremly Eu-152 DCGL (3.6 pCi/g). Eu-152 is not expected to pose a concern in subsequent sampling.
Other YNPS ETD There were no other easy to detect nuclides identified >MDA.
YNPS HTD There were no hard to detect nuclides identified in the four samples analyzed.
The presence of all LTP-listed radionuclides (gamma-emitters, HTD beta-emitters, and TRUs) in the soil will be evaluated under this survey plan. The YNPS Chemistry Dept. will analyze each FSS soil sample for all LTP-listed gamma-emitting nuclides, except Cm-2431244. In addition, 2 FSS soil samples will be sent to an independent laboratory for analyses of gamma-emitters, HTD beta-emitting radionuclides, and alpha-emitting radionuclides, which will include Cm-2431244.

The survey will be performed under appropriate weather conditions (as defined by instrumentation limitations and human tolerance). Surveys may be performed on any shift of work.
1 5.0 Develop a decision rule: 1I 1 upon review of the FSS data collected under this survey plan: I (a) If all the sample data show that the soil concentrations of plant related nuclides are below the 8.73 mremlyear DCGLs and the sum of fractions of nuclides are below unity, then reject the null hypothesis (i.e., Survey Unit 00L-02-02 meets the release criteria).
1 (b) Lf the investigation levels are exceeded, perform an investigation survey.
(c) If the average concentration of any LTP-listed nuclide exceeds its respective DCGL, or the average I
sum of fractions for any LTP-listed nuclide exceeds one, then accept the null hypothesis (i.e., Survey Unit 00L-02-02 fails to meet the release criteria).

4.0 Define the boundaries of the survey:
Define the spatial and temporal boundaries that will be covered by the decision statement so data can be easily interpreted.
Temporal boundaries: The data are used to reflect the condition of radionuclides leaching into the ground water over a period of 1,000 years. The survey may be performed under appropriate weather conditions (as defined by instrument tolerance and personnel safety) on any shift of work.
Spatial Boundaries: YNPS has been divided into multiple survey areas and units with relatively homogeneous characteristics based on information collected during the years of facility operation, the HSA, and post remediation activities. The area of interest has been named 00L-02, and the survey unit is 03. The medium of interest is described as Soil. The radiological characteristics of this unit classify it as a Class 3 area.
Which has no restrictions as a surface area guidance. The total surface area is 2,648 m2, which is in compliance with the Class 3 guidance. The maxlmum length is 66m, and the maximum width is 46m. Soil is surveyed to a depth of 15 cm.
See included GPS coordinates and maps that demonstrate the measurement locations, the survey unit boundaries and unit relationship to site.
Detailed descri/ltion of unit: This is an area is bordered by 00L-04-04 and 00L-05-04 to the north, 00L-08-06 to the south, 00L-06-02 and 00L-06-03 to the west, 00L-10-01 and 00L-02-05 to the east. Also located inside of this survey area unit is the security gatehouse and its diesel generater (OMB-02), which is not part of this survey unit.
5.0 Develop a decision rule:
Define the parameter of interest, specify action levels, and the DCGL.
Investigation Levels: If an investigation level below is exceeded, then perform an investigation survey.
Direct measurements: > 50% DCGLw Scan measurements: Detectable over background Parameter of interest: If there are no investigation issues, and the the residual radioactivity in 00L-02-03 systematic samples is less than the DCGLw then the survey unit is in compliance with the release criterion (8.73 mrlyr).
Critical Value: If the average concentration is less than DCGLw, the sum of fractions is less than 1, and less than 8 of the 25 samples are above the DCGLw, the Survey Units passes.

1.6 A final classification has been performed. 17 Classification: CLASS 1 CLASS 2 17 CLASS 3 17 DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES (DQO) 1.0 Statement of problem:
Survey Unit 00L02-04 is located inside the industrial area fence, and outside the RCA. It consists of a portion of soil area that lies north of and adjacent to the turbine building and service building footprints (survey areas TBN-01, SVC-01, and SVC-03). The unit shares its north, west. And east boundaries with survey unit 00L-02-05. Its south boundary is formed with survey units 00L-02-01 and -02, and with 00L-10-01. The survey unit is approximately 1,912 m2 (20,580 ft2).
Historically, the unit represents part of the travel path for personnel and material entering and leaving the Yankee site. During operation of the plant, the unit was not used for storing radioactive material or processing radioactive waste. However, decommissioning waste and debris may have been stored temporarily in the unit. The unit may have been subject to low-level contamination resulting from traffic of personnel and equipment during operations and decommissioning activities.
Additionally, inadvertent run-off from the RCA yard areas may have introduced low levels of contamination.
The unit has been impacted by D&D activities. Materials (soil, debris) has been placed in and removed from the unit as necessary to support decommissioning of the site.
The data collected under this plan will be used to determine whether or not residual plant-related radioactivity in soil of Survey Unit 00L02-04 meet LTP release criteria.
The planning team for this effort consists of the FSS Project Manager, FSS Radiological Engineer, FSS Field Supervisor, and FSS Technicians. The FSS Rad. Engineer will make primary decisions with the concurrence of the FSS Project Manager.
2.0 ldentifv the decision:
Does residual plant-related radioactivity, if present in the survey unit, exceed LTP release criteria? Alternative actions that may be implemented in this effort are investigations and remediation followed by re-surveying.
3.0 Identify the inputs to the decision:
Sample media: soil Types of measurements: soil samples, lSOCS measurements, and supplemental SPA-3 scans.
Radionuclide-of-concern: Cs- 137 Characterization data contained in the Yankee HSA were used in the FSS planning for unit 00L02-04. Cesium-137 was the most frequently identified easy-to-detect plant-related radionuclide in the surface soil samples collected within the unit in mid DPF-8856. I Page 1 of 5
(to late 1990s. The decay-adjusted average Cs-137 concentration, 0.15 pCilg, is well below the DCGL value for C S - I ~ ~
- a. Soil Samples:
For planning purposes, only Cs-137 was selected as the radionuclide-of-concern for the unit. However, the presence of all LTP-listed radionuclides (gamma-emitters, HTD beta-emitters, and TRUs) in the soil will be evaluated under this survey plan.
The YNPS Chemistry Dept. will analyze each soil sample for all LTP-listed gamma-emitting nuclides (excluding Am-24 I and Cm-243). At least 2 soil samples will be sent to an independent laboratory for analyses of gamma-emitters and HTD radionuclides (these analyses will include Am-241 and Cm-243).
Applicable DCGL: The DCGLs applied under this survey plan correspond to annual doses of 8.73 mremly (the 10-mremly DCGL adjusted for the dose contributions from sub-surface concrete structures and tritium in ground water).

(a) Ifall the sample data show that the soil concentrations of LTP-listed nuclides are below the 8.73 mremlyear DCGLs and the sum of fractions of LTP-listed nuclides are below unity, then reject the null hypothesis (i.e., Survey Unit 00L-02-04 meets the release criteria).
(b) Ifthe investigation levels are exceeded, then perform an investigation survey.
(c) If the average of the direct measurements is below the DCGLw, but some individual measurements exceed the DCGLw, then apply a statistical test as the basis for accepting or rejecting the null hypothesis.
(d) I_fthe average concentration of any LTP-listed nuclide exceeds its respective DCGL, or the average sum of fractions of LTP-listed nuclides exceeds unity, accept the null hypothesis (i.e., Survey Unit 00L-02-04 fails to meet the release criteria).

Survey Unit 00L02-05 is located inside the industrial area fence, and outside the RCA. It consists of a portion of soil area located to the north of survey unit 00L-02-04. The survey unit is approximately 5,953 m2 (64,075 ft2).
A portion of the unit historically represents part of the travel path for personnel and material entering and leaving the Yankee site. During operation of the plant, the unit was not used for storing radioactive material or processing radioactive waste.
However, the unit may have been subject to low-level contamination resulting from traffic of personnel and equipment during operations and decommissioning activities. Additionally, inadvertent run-off from the RCA yard areas may have introduced low levels of contamination. Characterization soil samples indicated that the soil concentrations of plant-related radioactivity is not expected to exceed DCGLs. Therefore, the unit has been classified as a Class 2 unit.
The data collected under this plan will be used to determine whether or not residual plant-related radioactivity in soil of Survey Unit 00L02-05 meet LTP release criteria.
The planning team for this effort consists of the FSS Project Manager, FSS Radiological Engineer. FSS Field Supervisor, and FSS Technicians. The FSS Rad. Engineer will make primary decisions with the concurrence of the FSS Project Manager.
2.0 Identifv the decision:
Does residual plant-related radioactivity, if present in the survey unit, exceed LTP release criteria? Alternative actions that may be implemented in this effort are investigations and remediation followed by re-surveying.
3.0 Identify the inputs to the decision:
Sample media: soil Types ofmeasurements: soil samples and SPA-3 scans.
Radionuclide-of-concern: Cs- 1 37 Characterization data contained in the Yankee HSA were used in the FSS planning for unit 00L02-05. Cesium-137 was the most frequently identified easy-to-detect plant-related radionuclide in the surface soil samples collected within the unit in mid to late 1990s. The decay-adjusted average Cs-137 concentration, 0.15 pCi/g, is well below the DCGL value for Cs-137 (3.0 DPF-8856.1 Page 1 of 5
- a. Soil Samples:
For planning purposes, 0 - 1 3 7 was selected as the radionuclide-of-concern for the unit. However, the presence of all LTP-listed radionuclides (gamma-emitters, HTD beta-emitters, and TRUs) in the soil will be evaluated under this survey plan. The YNPS Chemistry Dept. will analyze each soil sample for all LTP-listed gamma-emitting nuclides (excluding Am-241 and Cm-243). Two soil samples will be sent to an independent laboratory for analyses of gamma-emitters and HTD radionuclides (these analyses will include Am-241 and Cm-243).
Applicable DCGL: The DCGLs applied under this survey plan correspond to annual doses of 8.73 mremly (the 10-mremly DCGL adjusted for the dose contributions from sub-surface concrete structures and tritium in ground water).

Sample Requirements:
Collect 20 (I-liter) soil samples in accordance with DP-8120. Two of the 20 soil samples will be analyzed as QC split I
samples to fulfill the QC requirement of DP-8852. The same QC split samples will also be analyzed for Hard-to-Detect nuclides in accordance with section 5.6.3.2.1 of the LTP and DP-8856.
r-Soil Sample Designations:
FSS soil samples: 00L-02-05-001-F through 00L-02-05-020-F corresponding to FSS sample locations 00 1 through 020.
QC split samples: 00L-02-05-006-F-S and 00L-02-05-008-F-S are to be designated as QC split samples.
Recount samples: 00L-02-05-002-F-RC and 00L-02-05-013-F-RC are to be counted twice on site. The results will be compared in accordance with DP-8864.
Sample Analysis:
Gamma analysis will be performed on all soil samples. If any of the gamma analyses show that an investigation I
level has been exceeded an investigation survey will be conducted under a revision to this survey plan.
YNPS Chemistry will analyze 00L-02-05-002-F and 00L-02-05-0 13-F as sample recounts. The recounted samples will be identified as 00L-02-05-002-F-RC and 00L-02-05-013-F-RC, respectively.
On-site gamma analysis of the FSS samples shall achieve the MDC values stated in the DQO section of this plan.

The off-site laboratory will analyze 00L-02-05-006-F-S and 00L-02-05-008-F-S for all LTP nuclides. Each sample will be prepared in accordance with DP-88 13, "Sample Receipt and Preparation," but the samples are not to be dried prior to shipment.
m:Ensure that the lid of the container is secured and sealed with electrical tape to prevent loss of moisture during shipping.
SPA-3 scans: SPA-3 scans, using a probe speed of no greater than O.lm/s (approximately 4 inchesls), will be performed primarily on the principle travel paths for personnel, equipment and material through the unit. Additionally, as identified by the FFS Field Supervisor, SPA-3 scans will be performed for locations such as drainage paths and collection points.
The SPA-3 scan will be observed by the FSS Field Supervisor and documented on DPF-8856.2. Documentation should include the location of any non-perimeter SPA-3 scan and an estimate of the scanned area.
For the SPA-3 scans, a first level investigation may be conducted to determine if the observed increase above background levels in the scan measurement is due to the presence of rocks. SPA-3 scans performed in non-impacted areas have shown that rock formations accounted for increased count rates. If it can be demonstrated that the presence of rocks is the cause of an increased count rate during a SPA-3 scan, record that finding on form DPF-8856.2. If it is demonstrated that the rocks do not account for an above background SPA-3 measurement, a soil sample will be collected at the point of the highest S P A 3 reading in the scanned area. Obtain a (pre-soil sampling and post soil sampling) 1 minute scalar reading at point of the highest SPA-3 reading in the scanned area. Detailed descriptions of investigation actions will be recorded on form DPF-8856.2 and the location of the above background scan and sample will be recorded on the survey map. The location description must include sufficient detail to revisit the spot at a later time. If a soil sample is collected during the first level investigation, the sample designation will continue the soil sample numbering sequence plus the letter "I" (for investigation).
