Description Survey Unit Release Record Design #

Suwey Unit #(s) document constitute "Special Methods" and the survey design used in the acquisition of survey measurements.

5) Instrument efficiency determinations are developed in accordance with the BSILVS-002, WEP 05-006, these determinations are appropriate for the types of radiation involved and the media being surveyed.

1) Embedded Pipe (EP) Survey Unit SAN 12 meets the definition of embedded pipe for Plum Brook Reactor Facility (PBRF).

2) EP SAN 12 is a Class 1, Group 3.2 survey unit as per the PBRF Final Status Survey Plan (FSSP) and Technical Basis Document (TBD)-06-004.

3) Surveys in EP SAN 12 were performed using a scintillation detector optimized to measure gamma energies representative of Cs-137. Sample #EP 3-8 fiom Survey Request (SR)-13 was referenced for this decision.

4) Survey Instructions for this survey unit are incorporated into and performed in accordance with (IAW) the Babcock Services Incorporated (BSI)/LVS-002, Work Execution Package (WEP)05-006. Survey instructions described in this Revision #

FSS Design # EP SAN 12 Revision # Original Page 2 of 3 Survey Unit: SAN 12 1.0 History/Description 1.1 The subject pipe system is a 4 drain line which received influents from the decontamination room and contaminated showers during plant operations. The influents were transferred through the SAN 12 piping to the -15 RB hot sump.

1.2 EP SAN 12 is approximately 16 feet in length.

2.0 Survey Design Information 2.1 EP SAN 12 was surveyed IAW Procedure #BSI/LVS-002.

2.2 100% of the 4 ID pipe was accessible for survey. The accessible 4 ID pipe was surveyed by static measurement at one foot increments, for a total of 16 survey measurements.

2.3 Surface area for the 4 ID piping is 973 cm2 for each foot of piping, corresponding to a total 4 ID piping surface area of 15568 cm2 (1.6 m2) for the entire accessible length of (16) of 4 piping.

3.0 Survey Unit Measurement Locations/Data 3.1 Pipe interior radiological survey forms are provided in Attachment 2 of this release record.

4.0 Survey Unit Investigations/Results 4.1 None 5.0 Data Assessment Results 5.1 Data assessment results are provided in the EP/Buried Pipe (BP) Survey Report provided in Attachment 1.

5.2 All measurement results are less than the Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL) for radionuclide specific EP that corresponds to the 1 mrem/yr dose goal established in Table 3-3 of the FSSP.

5.3 When implementing the Unity Rule, provided in Section 3.6.3 of the FSSP, and applying the Nuclide Fraction (NF), provided in TBD-06-004, the survey unit that is constituted by EP SAN 12 passes FSS.

5.4 Background was not subtracted from the survey measurements and the Elevated Measurement Comparison (EMC) was not employed for the accessible portion of this survey unit.

5.5 The instrument/detector used for this survey was >12 months and <15 months from its calibration date. Procedure #BSI/LVS-002, Step 4.3.2 allows use of instrument/detectors within this periodicity. The detector was maintained in service for this survey due to a limited window of schedule opportunity to accomplish the survey of SAN 12, and limited availability of 1 X 1 scintillation detectors with which to accomplish the survey

6.1 A review of the survey results has shown that the dose contribution for the accessible portion of EP SAN 12 to be less than 1 mrem/yr. The dose contribution is estimated to be 0.003 mrem/yr based on the average of the actual gross counts.
