- 3. DEFINITIONS 3.1.
Action Level-The numerical value that causes a decision-maker to choose one of the alternative actions. In the context of MARSAME, the numerical value is the radionuclide concentration or level of radioactivity corresponding to the disposition criterion, and the alternative actions are determined by the selection of a disposition option.
3.2.
Aggregate Survey - A gamma dose rate survey performed on waste conveyance leaving an RCA or Radiologically Restricted Area (RRA) with material for Unconditional Release in accordance with the requirements of ZS-WM-135.
3.3.
Disposition Survey - A radiological survey designed to collect information to support a disposition decision.
3.4.
Historical Site Assessment - The identification of potential, likely, or known sources of radioactive material and radioactive contamination based on existing or derived information for the purpose of classifying a facility or site, or parts thereof, as impacted or non-impacted.
3.5.
Impacted Area - Areas which could have been radiologically impacted by site operations. Impacted areas are classified by their potential for residual radioactivity in excess of natural background or fallout levels.
ZS-LT-400-001-001 Revision 3 Information Use Page 7 of 47 3.6.
Materials and Equipment (M&E) - Items considered for disposition including metals, concrete, dispersible bulk materials, tools, equipment, piping, conduit, furniture, solids, liquids, and gases in containers, etc. M&E are considered non-real property distinguishable from buildings/structures and land, which are considered real property.
3.7.
Measurement - 1) The act of using a detector to determine the level or quantity of radioactivity on a surface or in a sample of material removed from a media being evaluated, or 2) The quantity obtained by the act of measuring.
3.8.
Measurement Quality Objective (MQO) - A statement of performance objective or a requirement for a particular method performance characteristic.
3.9.
Minimum Detectable Concentration (MDC) - The minimum detectable concentration is the apriori activity level that a specific instrument and technique can be expected to detect 95% of the time. When stating the detection capability of an instrument, this value should be used. The MDC is the Detection Limit, LD, multiplied by an appropriate conversion factor to give units of activity concentration.
3.10. Non-impacted Area -Areas not impacted by site operations and have no reasonable potential for residual radioactivity in excess of natural background or fallout levels.
3.11. Preliminary Survey - Any survey performed prior to the disposition survey in MARSAME, and is generally performed to provide information required to support the design of the disposition survey.
3.12. Qualified Individual - A person meeting the radiation protection technician qualifications of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Rev.1, which endorses ANSI N18.1 and is trained to Zion instruction guide listed in ZS-TQ-100-F010 SRPT 6.

1 Measurement Quality Objectives for Survey Plans ZS-LT-400-001-001 Revision 3 Information Use Page 41 of 47 Measurement Quality Objectives (MQOs)
The following MQOs are established in order to ensure that the survey instrumentation used and survey and sampling methods performed will adequately and accurately characterize material surveyed for Unconditional Release based on a release limit of no detectable.
The survey and sample analysis instrumentation selected for performing unconditional release of material, equipment and secondary structures from the ZSRP are consistent with the guidance found in NUREG-1575. The range, ruggedness, sensitivity, detection capability and quantification capability were confirmed through instrumentation calibration.
Implementation of instrument special training, operating procedures and survey plan instructions ensure that measurement method uncertainty remains consistent.
Selected Instrumentation Ludlum Model 2350 Data Logger coupled with detectors; 43-68 and 43-37 proportional detectors, 44-10 NaI.
Ludlum Model 2360 with 43-93 scintillator detectors.
Ludlum Model 3 with a 44-09 GM detector Ludlum Model 54 article monitor Ludlum 3030P Alpha-Beta smear counter Tennelec S5 XLB proportional smear counter Canberra Lab SOCS/ISOCS Genie-2000 Gamma Spectroscopy System Canberra Inspector 1000 for qualification of indications of concern Background Determination Typically field background is determined as the mean of 5 background measurements collected as ambient area or as material specific background.
The equations below are listed in NUREG 1575, Rev. 1 page 6-34 as (6-6).
The background mean and its associated standard deviation for the area where surveys will take place. Calculation of Lc and Ld can be performed after arithmetic mean of background is obtained.
Lc = 2.33 Ld = 3+(4.65 Material specific background as above for material that has NORM.
The required MDCs associated with the measurements and sample analyses.
1 Measurement Quality Objectives for Survey Plans ZS-LT-400-001-001 Revision 3 Information Use Page 42 of 47 NOTE Scan and Fixed Minimum Detectable Concentrations will be calculated using a d of 1.38; however, the radiological engineer may use a lower false positive value and a higher d during development of the survey package. See Table 2 for calculated false positive proportion values calculated using various d values.

The type I and type II error rates for each type of measurement will be 5% unless otherwise noted.
1 Measurement Quality Objectives for Survey Plans ZS-LT-400-001-001 Revision 3 Information Use Page 43 of 47 Beta Scan Measurement MDC:
The formula used to determine the scanning MDC at the 95% confidence level is:
Where, MDCscan =
Minimum Detectable Concentration in dpm/100 cm2 d
=
index of sensitivity (1.38) i
=
observation interval (seconds) bi
=
background counts per observation interval t
=
total efficiency p
=
surveyor efficiency (0.5)
A
=
detector area in cm2 (not to exceed 126 cm2)
The observation interval (i) is considered to be the amount of time required for the detector field of view to pass over the area of concern. This time depends upon the scan speed, the size of the source, and the fraction of the detectors sensitive area that passes over the source.
The scan speed is based on one detector window width per second, however; other scan speeds may be used. For the Ludlum Model 43-68 gas flow proportional detector, the window width is 8.8 cm resulting in a scan speed of ~3.5 inches per second. The floor monitor detector is the Ludlum Model 43-37 with a window width of 13.35 cm which results in a scan speed of 5.25 inches per second.

An instrument alarm set point will be included for the floor monitor. The set point is based on the detector background plus the MDCR and is determined in the same fashion as other characterization surveys. Table 2 below depicts alarm set points for a detectability value (d) of 1.38 based on a 95% correct detection rate and a false positive rate of 60%. Table 3 presents several alarm set points based on different background values the scan speed will be 5.25 inches per second (13.34cm/s). The alarm set point values noted utilize the formula provided in the August 27, 2012 memo, ZSRP Characterization Survey Package Attachment minimum Detectable Activity (MDA Calculations) and Alarm Set Points.

- Values have been rounded An instrument alarm set point will be included for the Ludlum Model 43-93 detector. The set point is based on the detector background plus the MDCR and is determined in the same fashion as other characterization surveys. Table 4 below depicts alarm set points for a detectability value (d) of 1.38 based on a 95% correct detection rate and a false positive rate of 60%. Table 4A presents several alarm set points based on different background values and scan rate (5.0cm/s). The alarm set point values noted utilize the formula provided in the August 27, 2012 memo, ZSRP Characterization Survey Package Attachment minimum Detectable Activity (MDA Calculations) and Alarm Set Points.

Background
(cpm)
Scan MDC 300 45,148 dpm/100cm2 (2)
Ludlum Model 3 with a 44-9 detector (pancake) the scan MDC is based on i =
0.88, p=0.5, d= 1.38, = 0.16, s = 0.25 and Rb =300cpm.
The GM detector Shall NOT be used to unconditionally release structures, system or miscellaneous M&E from the Zion Decommissioning Site. The GM shall be used only as an indicator for scanning inaccessible areas to determine if plant derived nuclides exists (based on its MDC value.).
