FINAL STATUS SURVEY

SUMMARY

REPORT Survey Unit:

F808003 1, Cooling Tower Buffer (South)

Survey Unit

Description:

Operating History: The cooling towers and basins were part of the condenser cooling water system. The paved area comprising the basins was not reported to have been used for the storage of radioactive material. Operating records and the HSA document one event with the potential for a release of radioactivity associated with this survey area.

Site Characterization: Direct measurements were made of the exterior surfaces of the structure which confirmed the presence of plant-derived radionuclides. Direct structure measurements showed a mean gross activity level of 4,952 dpm/100 cm2 and a maximum value of 6,289 dpm/100 cm2. Based on the classification procedure (DSIP-0020) and levels of gross activity reported, the area was determined to be a Class 2 area.

HSA Events: PDQ-930036.

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 determined using a random-start, fixed grid pattern and 1498 m2 were scanned for approximately 20% coverage. 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 20 direct measurements were made in F808003 1. 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 ISOCS scan measurements indicated activity above the MDC (3.23E-01 to 4.09E-01) for Cs-137.

Survey Unit Data Assessment:

The survey design required 20 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 less than the design standard deviation so 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 (i.e. the survey unit average activity is less than the DCGL and the EMC criterion has been met), the ALARA criterion has been met.

Changes in Initial Survey Unit Assumptions:

The survey unit was designed as a Class 2 land survey and the sample results are consistent with that classification. The variability of the survey results was less 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 2 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 F8080031 meets the release criteria of IOCFR20.1402.
