FINAL STATUS SURVEY
SUMMARY
REPORT Survey Unit:
F8000102, Industrial Area Central Yard - North and West of the Maintenance Building Survey Unit
Description:
Operating History: This area covers the majority of Industrial Area soils exclusive of the building footprints and rail line in this area. Operating records and the HSA document no specific release of radioactivity' in these survey areas however this area does border known contaminated areas. The HSA recorded no specific unplanned release events.
Site Characterization: Soil and sediment samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of plant-derived radionuclides. Cs-137 was the only detected nuclide of plant origin with a mean activity level of 0.062 pCi/g and a maximum value of 0.299 pCi/g.
(Site background levels of Cs-137 have been determined to be approximately 0.312 pCi/g.) As described in section 2 of the LTP, the area was evaluated using DSIP-0020 and was designated as Class 3.
Survey Unit Design Information:
The Survey Unit Design Parameters'are presented in Table 1 below. The survey unit and measurement locations are depicted on the maps in Attachment 1. Direct measurement locations were randomly determined and 414 m2 were scanned for approximately 23%
coverage. Soil samples were collected at each direct measurement location and analyzed by HPGe detector. The instrumentation used for the survey along with the MDC values are listed in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 in Attachment 2.

Survey Results:
A total of 14 direct measurements were made in F8000102. The results including mean, median, standard deviation and range are shown in Table 2. All of the direct measurements were less than the DCGL. None of the scan measurements indicated areas of elevated activity above MDA with Cs-137 having a MDA from 0.245 to 0.313 pCi/g and Co-60 having an MDA from 0.156 to 0.237 pCi/g. Soil samples were counted to the MDC shown in Table 2-1 of Attachment 2.

Survey Unit Data Assessment:
The survey design required 14 direct measurements for the Sign Test. The critical value and the results of the Sign Test are presented in Table 3. The sample mean and median values were less than the DCGL. The sample standard deviation was greater than the design standard deviation, but both values of sigma resulted in a relative shift greater than three (3), no additional samples were required.

Survey Unit Investigations and Results:
No investigations were required for either direct or scan measurements and no investigation results are reported.
ALARA Statement:
As stated in Chapter 4 of the LTP, as long as the residual activity within the survey unit is less than the DCGL, the ALARA criterion has been met.
Changes in Initial Survey Unit Assumptions:
The survey unit was designed as a Class 3 land survey and the sample results are consistent with that classification. The variability of the survey results was greater than the characterization data used for survey design. No potential areas of elevated activity were detected.
==
Conclusion:==
The FSS of this survey unit was properly designed as a Class 3 survey based on Table 5-4 of the LTP. The required number of direct measurements was made and the scan coverage met the requirement of Table 5-6 of the LTP. All of the direct measurements were less than the DCGL. No investigations were required.
The direct measurement data support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and that the data quality objectives were met.
It is concluded that survey unit F8000102 meets the release criteria of 10CFR20.1402.
