RE: Summary Comments on Yankee Rowe OOL-12 & OOL-14 Final Status Survey Reports John/Tom, It was just brought to my attention that there was a typographical error in Section 5.1.4 of the FSSR for OOL-14. The report, and the quote from the report included in the response provided to you earlier this morning, erroneously reference OOL-14-04, instead of OOL-14-01. The attached response has been revised to acknowledge this error.

Alice Carson

RE: Summary Comments on Yankee Rowe OOL-12 & OOL-14 Final Status Survey Reports John/Tom, Attached are responses to the questions/comments on OOL-12 and OOL-14, which were previously provided to Yankee via email on 12/20/06. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Alice Carson OOL-12 Observations/Comments:

FSS Report Appendix A - Final Status Survey Planning Worksheets - indicates that after a boundary modification, two bias samples that had been taken were considered to be outside the survey unit. This information is different from the information in Section 5.4 - Survey Results - which indicates that two samples (OOL-12-021 & OOL-12-022) were taken as bias samples & are not listed in the results table. This situation could confuse some readers.

Please clarify OOL-14 Observations/comments:

No information on gamma survey/scan results were provided in Section 5.4 -

Survey Results or in Section 6.0 - Conclusions. OOL-1 4-01 is a class 3 soil area, and the Yankee Rowe LTP, Rev. 1, specifies judgmental gamma surveys/scans. It appears that some judgmental surveys were made, but the results are not given. Please address.

NRC Summary Comments on Yankee Rowe OOL-12 & OOL-14 Final Status Survey Reports (Email from Hickman to Carson dated 12/20/2006)

OOL-12 Observations/Comments:

NRC Comment: FSS Report Appendix A - Final Status Survey Planning Worksheets -

indicates that after a boundary modification, two bias samples that had been taken were considered to be outside the survey unit. This information is different from the information in Section 5.4 - Survey Results - which indicates that two samples (OOL 021 & OOL-12-022) were taken as bias samples & are not listed in the results table. This situation could confuse some readers. Please clarify Yankee Response: Two (2) samples, OOL-12-021 and OOL-12-022, were originallytaken as biasedsamplesfor the subject survey unit; however, they subsequentlyfell outside the survey unit, after a survey unit boundary modification and, therefore, were omittedfrom the table. The last sentence of the first paragraphin Section 5.4 should read: "Samples OOL-12-021 and OOL-12-022 were originallycollected as biasedsamples for OOL-12; however, after a boundary modification of the Unit, the samples were found to lie outside of the survey unit, and therefore they are omittedfrom inclusion in OOL-12."

OOL-14 Observations/Comments:

NRC Comment: No information on gamma survey/scan results were provided in Section 5.4 -Survey Results or in Section 6.0 - Conclusions. OOL-14-01 is a class 3 soil area, and the Yankee Rowe LTP, Rev. 1, specifies judgmental gamma surveys/scans. It appears that some judgmental surveys were made, but the results are not given. Please address.

Yankee Response: Judgmentalscans were performed in the Survey Unit. The results are addressedin Section 5.1.4: "OOL-14-O1 was scanned approximately 10% with a SPA-3.

No activity greaterthan background or DCGLw, attributableto plant radionuclides,was present in OOL-14-[01]. " In subsequent reports Yankee addressedresults of the SPA-3 scans in Section 5.4 of the report.
