SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) perform an independent confirmatory survey at the Hematite Decommissioning Project in Festus, Missouri. The survey units investigated during this confirmatory survey were land survey area (LSA) 10-05 and LSA 10-14, both of which are located within a portion of the site referred to as the documented burial area.
ORISE performed confirmatory survey activities, including subsurface soil sampling using direct-push technology, sample core scanning, and borehole scanning/data logging from October 16-19, 2017. ORISE collected a total of 44 samples consisting of 22 core samples taken from the backfill/native soil interface region, 21 composite samples collected from backfill elevations, and one composite waste profile sample. The results of the ORISE gamma and beta surveys, along with laboratory analytical results, did not identify any site-related contaminants above the respective uniform stratum derived concentration guideline level values (most restrictive) in the selected investigation areas in LSA 10-05 or 10-14.

- 1. INTRODUCTION Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC), a former fuel cycle facility near Festus, Missouri, operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing nuclear fuel from natural and enriched uranium. The site ceased operational activities in September 2001, and WEC is decommissioning the facility, now known as the Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP). From its inception in 1956 through 1974, the facility was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly enriched uranium products. From 1974 through plant closure in 2001, the focus changed from government contracts to commercial fuel production. Specifically, operations included the conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas of various uranium enrichments to uranium oxide, uranium carbide, uranium dioxide pellets, and uranium metal. Secondary operations included research and development and uranium scrap recovery processes. The facilitys central land area and the site creek were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities. As part of the overall site decommissioning, WEC performed remediation of land areas, including former burial trenches. Depth of excavations varied with the maximum depth reached of 7.5 meters (24.5 feet), encountering the water table interface (phreatic zone) at some locations. Final status surveys were then performed and excavations were backfilled with soil that was either obtained from off-site borrow areas and/or on-site reuse soil stockpiles.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted decommissioning activities that are in accordance with the sites decommissioning plan and NRC License SNM-33. As the goal of the HDP is to release the site for unrestricted use, the NRC has opted to perform independent (third party) confirmatory investigations at the site in order to verify the final status radiological conditions. The NRC has requested support from the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE) to perform independent confirmatory subsurface sampling to determine whether residual radioactive material above approved derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLWs) may be present within two of the remediated and backfilled HDP Land Survey Areas (LSAs). The excavations within these LSAs were backfilled prior to the performance of confirmatory surveys and sampling.

- 2. SITE DESCRIPTION The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County, Missouri, less than 4 miles west of the town of Festus, Missouri and 35 miles south of the city of St. Louis. The site is surrounded by forest, agricultural lands, and low-density residential housing. The entire site consists of approximately 228 acres; however, the impacted portion of the site, referred to as the central tract, only includes approximately 19 acres. The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north, the northeast site creek to the east, Union-Pacific railroad tracks to the south, and the site creek/pond to the west.
LSAs 10-05 and 10-14 are located within the portion of the site referred to as the documented burial area. Both LSAs are located near an area of the site that was used for waste handling during the decommissioning. The proximity of staged waste material to LSAs 10-05 and 10-14 could have resulted in the migration of contaminated materials into the excavations due to runoff during heavy rain events.
Figure 2.1 shows the site overview with the burial pit and waste handling locations identified, and Figure 2.2 provides an overview of the site and identifies the location of the various LSAs.
Figures 2.3 and 2.4 present LSAs 10-05 and 10-14 following remediation and show the proximity of the waste piles to the excavations. Figure 2.5 displays the backfill depth topography following remediation.

- 3. RADIONUCLIDES OF CONCERN The historical site operations at HDP resulted in several radionuclides of concern (ROCs). The primary ROCs are technetium-99 (Tc-99), thorium-232 (Th-232), radium-226 (Ra-226), uranium-234 (U-234), uranium-235 (U-235), and uranium (U-238). The isotopic abundances of uranium vary based on the enrichment levels of U-235 involved during fuel manufacturing and uranium scrap recovery. There has also been lesser impact due to secondary ROCs, including neptunium-237 (Np-237), plutonium-239/240 (Pu-239/240), and americium-241 (Am-241). DCGLWs were developed for all ROCs. The soil DCGLWs were based on a number of possible future site use exposure scenarios considering where the residual contamination may have been located in the various near surface and subsurface soil strata. These strata are represented in Figure 3.1. This subsurface investigation targeted the interface between the backfill cover and unsaturated zone, representing native soil. Table 3.1 provides the site-specific soil DCGLWs by stratum.

c+D refers to the parent radionuclide plus short-lived decay products.
d+C refers to the entire decay chain in secular equilibrium.
In addition to the radiological contaminants, dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) organic compounds are also known to be present in the saturated or aquitard zones. Although DNAPLs are not the target objective of this investigation, the compounds were evaluated for health and safety and waste management purposes. Analytical results for DNAPL constituents are discussed in Section 7.4.

- 4. OBJECTIVES The primary investigation objectives were to:
- Conduct subsurface sampling of the backfill and native soil interface at pre-selected locations within both LSAs.
- Determine if radionuclide concentrations satisfy the DCGLWs and/or indicate that residual contamination remains either at the interface or within the backfill column, based on downhole logging and/or screening of soil cores.
- Evaluate confirmatory samples from the backfill material to ensure that any site-related contaminants detected are at levels that satisfy license conditions for off-site borrow and reuse soil.
- 5. PROCEDURES From October 16-19, 2017, ORISE performed confirmatory survey activities within LSAs 10-05 and 10-14. The activities were in accordance with a project-specific plan (ORISE 2017). The confirmatory survey activities were also conducted in accordance with the ORAU Radiological and Environmental Survey Procedures Manual and the ORAU Environmental Services and Radiation Training Quality Program Manual (ORAU 2016a and ORAU 2016b).
5.1 SUBSURFACE SAMPLING LOCATION SELECTION Subsurface sampling locations in LSAs 10-05 and 10-14 were selected based on professional judgment using available photographic records, such as those provided in Figures 2.3 and 2.4, and a backfill topographic map (Figure 2.5). The photographic records and maps were reviewed to identify storm water runoff pathways and accumulation points associated with the former waste staging areas that could have impacted LSAs 10-05 and/or 10-14. Once the areas with highest potential for impact were delineated, specific borehole locations were generated in those areas based on a random-start/systematic placement approach. Borehole locations were distributed proportional to the size of the associated area. The configuration of the investigation area and the random-start point resulted in 21 locations being plotted. Figure A.1 illustrates the location of these points in
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey 8
5184-SR-09-0 relation to the LSA boundaries. Individual borehole locations were designated via global positioning coordinates using the NAD 1983 Missouri State Plane East Zone coordinate system.
5.2 SUBSURFACE SAMPLING Subsurface sampling and investigation was conducted at 21 locations throughout LSAs 10-05 and 10-14. The terminal penetration depth at each of the pre-selected locations was based on spatial data received from WEC and interpreted by ORISE. Figure A.2 presents an excavation depth map with the pre-selected sample locations identified. Table 5.1 summarizes the various borehole terminal depths achieved and estimated point of interface for each location.

HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey 9
5184-SR-09-0 Following soil core removal, a sample representative of the backfill/native soil interface was collected in equal portions from the 15-centimeter interval above and below the interface as identified by visual inspection and/or excavation depth information provided by WEC. Additionally, a single composite sample was collected per borehole consisting of equal volume aliquots taken from each of the incremental 1.5-meter cores. The composite sample was representative of the entire backfill layer at that borehole location.
5.3 SAMPLE CORE SCREENING Gamma scans of extracted cores were performed using a Ludlum Model 44-10 2-inch x 2-inch sodium iodide (NaI) scintillation detector. Beta scans were performed using Ludlum Model 44-142 plastic scintillation detector. Detectors were coupled to Ludlum Model 2221 ratemeter-scalers with audible indicators. Each soil core was scanned and the audio response monitored to identify the presence of any elevated direct radiation indicative of residual contamination. Beta and gamma detector response ranges were recorded individually for each of the 1.5-meter soil cores. In addition, cores were also screened for volatile organic compounds using a RAE Systems MiniRAE 3000 photoionization detector.
5.4 BOREHOLE LOGGING After the backfill/native soil interface was reached and the sample cores extracted, gamma radiation detection equipment connected to a ratemeter and Trimble Geo 7X datalogger was lowered into the borehole while observing the detectors audio response. Gamma radiation count rates were electronically logged at one-second intervals as the detector was lowered at a rate of approximately 25 centimeters per second.
It was initially planned to conduct borehole logging using only the NaI detector with the outer direct-push technology (DPT) casing in place. However, the inner diameter of the casing was too small to accept the NaI detector. The casing was removed in order to facilitate scanning, but the NaI detector could not consistently reach the backfill/native soil interface due to compression in the borehole following removal of the casing. A smaller diameter Ludlum Model 44-159-1 cesium iodide (CsI) detector was used in addition to the NaI. The CsI detector was able to reach the backfill/native soil interface at all borehole locations. A 30-second static gamma measurement was collected at the backfill/native soil interface and at approximately 1.5-meter intervals as the detector
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey 10 5184-SR-09-0 was retrieved. Since the NaI detector failed to consistently reach the backfill/native soil interface, static measurement data were collected using primarily the CsI. Location 0 is the exception to this because the NaI was able to reach interface depth.
5.5 DECONTAMINATION, WASTE MANAGEMENT, AND BOREHOLE ABANDONMENT Investigation derived wastes included water generated during decontamination activities, excess soil sample cores, used DPT liners and caps, plastic sheeting from the decontamination pad, disposable personal protective equipment, and decontamination wipes.
All downhole equipment making contact with the native soil layer was decontaminated between boreholes. Decontamination consisted of a combination of dry wiping to remove visible soil and cleaning with a phosphate-free detergent solution. All liquids generated during decontamination activities were captured and containerized for on-site water treatment and discharge by WEC.
Excess soil collected from the backfill layer was containerized independently by borehole in sealable plastic buckets. Excess native soil from all boreholes was segregated from backfill material and placed into a single 55-gallon drum. A composite sample of the native soil was collected and submitted for radiological and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis. All materials pending laboratory analysis were custody sealed, labeled, and stored onsite to await an appropriate disposition pathway determination.
Used DPT liners and caps and plastic sheeting were containerized separately in 55-gallon drums and left at the site pending laboratory analysis of associated soils. The small volume of personal protective equipment (PPE) generated was returned to ORISE for analysis by gamma spectroscopy.
All boreholes were immediately backfilled with bentonite from surface elevation to full depth.
Abandonment activities were conducted with oversight by a Missouri Department of Natural Resources representative to ensure the process was in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

- 6. SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION Radiological samples and data collected at the site were transported to the ORISE facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee for analysis and interpretation. Radiological sample custody was transferred to the ORISE Radiological and Environmental Analytical Laboratory. Radiological sample analyses were performed in accordance with the ORAU Radiological and Environmental Analytical Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAU 2017). Soil samples were analyzed by gamma spectroscopy for U-238, U-235, Th-232, and Ra-226, and results were also reviewed for other site-specific gamma-emitting ROCs results were reported in units of picocuries per gram (pCi/g). All confirmatory soil samples were compared directly with the uniform stratum DCGLWs presented in Table 3.1.
Alpha spectroscopy was not performed; therefore, U-234 was calculated based on the U-238 to U-235 concentration ratio. Uranium-234 was calculated in the same manner as described in Section 14.1.4.3.3 of the approved decommissioning plan (DP) (WEC 2013).
Samples were analyzed for Tc-99 by chemical separation and liquid scintillation counting. Analytical results were reported in pCi/g.
In addition to radiological analysis, the native soils composite sample was submitted to a subcontracted laboratory for TCLP analysis. The primary analytes of concern include the DNAPL compounds trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). Data was compared to Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) limits for the classification of characteristic hazardous wastes.

7.2 SAMPLE CORE SCREENING Each 1.5-meter section of sample core was scanned for both beta and gamma radiation using the instruments mentioned in Section 5.3. No audible indication of elevated radiation was identified during scanning. Beta scans ranged from 270 to 700 counts per minute (cpm), with an average background of approximately 450 cpm. Gamma scans ranged from 8,000 to 12,200 cpm, with an average background of approximately 9,500 cpm. A summary of the collected soil core screening data is provided in Table 7.2. No judgmental samples were collected based on scan results.

Comprehensive results of all borehole logging data are provided in Appendix A, Figures A.3 and A.4 as histograms. Data for the NaI and CsI detectors were evaluated individually. Since the NaI was consistently unable to reach the backfill/native soil interface, scan data presented in the aforementioned histograms should not be considered representative of the entire study area. Results generated by the NaI rarely included data points collected from the backfill/native soil interface region. The exception to this statement would include scan data from Locations 0, 1, 18, and 20, which either reached the interface or came reasonably close.
Both figures indicate data are representative of background consistent with a normal distribution, where 97% of NaI data points and 99% percent of CsI data points fall within three standard deviations of the mean. It is noted that both histograms are bimodal. The lower intensity peak is related to detector response above and just inside of the borehole, while the higher intensity peak results from detector responses generated inside the borehole. Use of histograms in the evaluation of scan data is discussed further in Section E.3.2.
Static measurements were collected at various intervals as described in Section 5.4. Due to the inability of the NaI to consistently reach the backfill/native soil interface depth because of borehole compression, static measurements were collected and evaluated primarily with the CsI. It is noted that Location 0 was the first borehole surveyed and did not exhibit the same issues with borehole compression. As a result, static measurement data from Location 0 was collected with the NaI.
A complete evaluation of static measurement data indicates all measurements fall within the 1,900 cpm to 2,900 cpm background range for the CsI detector as established from the comprehensive collection of scan data. The minimum and maximum static CsI measurements were
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey 14 5184-SR-09-0 2,000 cpm and 2,500 cpm, respectively. NaI measurements collected from Location 0 fall within the 16,000 cpm to 22,000 cpm background range established from collected data. As previously mentioned, NaI scan data consists primarily of the backfill layer. A complete summary of static measurement data is provided in Appendix B, Table B.2. An evaluation of the scan sensitivity of the CsI detector is presented in Appendix E.
7.4 WASTE SAMPLING TCLP results for the native soils composite sample were all below their respective characteristic hazardous waste limit. It is noted that PCE was present at 0.074 mg/L, which is still below the 0.7 mg/L regulatory limit for PCE characteristic hazardous waste. Results of TCLP analysis are provided in Appendix C. Radiological analysis of the composite waste sample indicates all ROCs are below their respective DCGLWs. Analytical results are presented in Appendix B, Table B.1 Gamma spectroscopy results indicated the PPE could be disposed of as regular trash.

SUMMARY
AND CONCLUSION At NRCs request, ORISE conducted independent confirmatory subsurface investigations and sampling in the documented burial area. The areas investigated were LSAs 10-05 and 10-14. The survey was conducted October 16-19, 2017. The survey activities included subsurface soil sampling, sample core scanning, and borehole scanning/data logging. ORISE collected a total of 44 samples consisting of 22 samples taken from the backfill/native soil interface region, 21 composite samples collected from backfill elevations, and one composite waste profile sample. All individual confirmatory measurement results were below the respective uniform stratum DCGLW values (most restrictive) for the ROCs specified in the approved DP.

HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey 5184-SR-09-0 APPENDIX E SURVEY AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey E-1 5184-SR-09-0 E.1 PROJECT HEALTH AND SAFETY ORISE performed all survey activities in accordance with the ORAU Health and Safety Manual, the ORAU Radiation Protection Manual, and the ORAU Radiological and Environmental Survey Procedures Manual (ORAU 2016c, ORAU 2014, and ORAU 2016a). Prior to on-site activities, a work-specific hazard checklist was completed for the project and discussed with field personnel. The planned activities were thoroughly discussed with site personnel prior to implementation to identify hazards present. Additionally, prior to performing work, a pre-job briefing and walk-down of the survey areas were completed with field personnel to identify hazards present and discuss safety concerns.
Should ORISE have identified a hazard not covered in the ORAU Radiological and Environmental Survey Procedures Manual (ORAU 2016a)or the projects work-specific hazard checklist for the planned survey and sampling procedures, work would not have been initiated or continued until it was addressed by an appropriate job hazard analysis and hazard controls.
E.2 CALIBRATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE Calibration of all field instrumentation was based on standards/sources, traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Field survey activities were conducted in accordance with procedures from the following ORAU documents:
- ORAU Radiological and Environmental Survey Procedures Manual (ORAU 2016a)
- ORAU Environmental Services and Radiation Training Quality Program Manual (ORAU 2016b)
- ORAU Radiological and Environmental Analytical Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAU 2017)
The procedures contained in these manuals were developed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Order 414.1D and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Quality Assurance Manual for the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards and contain measures to assess processes during their performance.
Quality control procedures include:
- Daily instrument background and check-source measurements to confirm that equipment operation is within acceptable statistical fluctuations.
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey E-2 5184-SR-09-0
- Participation in Mixed-Analyte Performance Evaluation Program, NIST Radiochemistry Intercomparison Program, and DOE Radiological and Environmental Science Laboratory Intercomparison Test Program.
- Training and certification of all individuals performing procedures.
- Periodic internal and external audits.
E.3 SURVEY PROCEDURES E.3.1 SAMPLE CORE SCANS Scans for elevated radiation were performed by passing the detector slowly over the surface of the core sample. A Ludlum Model 44-10 NaI detector was used for gamma radiation and a Ludlum Model 44-142 plastic scintillator was used for beta radiation. The detectors were used as a qualitative means to identify elevated radiation levels in excess of background identified by an increase in the audible signal from the indicating instrument.
E.3.2 BOREHOLE LOGGING Scans for elevated gamma radiation were performed by passing Ludlum Model 44-10 NaI and Ludlum Model 44-159-1 CsI detectors slowly down the borehole. The detectors were used as a qualitative means to identify elevated radiation levels in excess of background. Identification of elevated radiation levels that could exceed the site criteria were determined based on an increase in the audible signal and evaluation of subsequent logged data.
Histograms were generated by dividing logged detector data into a series of intervals (bins) and plotting it against the number of results falling within each bin (frequency). Histograms were then evaluated to determine the frequency distribution of results and to identify the presence of any outliers indicative of contamination. A symmetrically shaped histogram represents a normal distribution indicative of background conditions.
Scan sensitivity of the CsI detector was evaluated using an adapted method of that presented in NUREG-1507 (NRC 1998). MicroShield, version 7.03, was used to determine the exposure rate from the assumed contamination geometry. The source term was modeled as an annular cylinder with diameter of 40.6 cm and a height of 30.5 cm, the inner annulus had a diameter of 5.08 cm, representing the borehole. Exposure rate-to-concentration ratios (in units of R/hr per pCi/g) were
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey E-3 5184-SR-09-0 generated for each of the gamma-emitting ROCs, including short-lived decay products. Exposure rates were evaluated at the center of the annulus. The source material was assumed to be concrete as MicroShield does not have a soil matrixwith a density of 1.3 g/cm3. Net instrument responses due to individual ROC concentrations equal to their respective DCGLW were calculated using the exposure rate-to-concentration ratios. Scan MDCs were calculated based on the minimum detectable exposure rate from a surveyor with an efficiency of 0.5 (NUREG-1507 default). Both the net instrument response due to an ROC concentration at the DCGLW and down-hole scan MDCs are presented in Table E.1 below.

The system consisted of an outer rod (stainless steel casing) and smaller diameter inner rod housing the plastic sample collection liner approximately 1.5 meters in length. Rods were advanced vertically into the soil in 1.5-meter (5-foot) increments. The soil core was then extracted and a new liner inserted into the casing to collect the next incremental soil core. After each incremental core was collected, the sample tube was delivered to ORISE personnel for scanning and sample collection. Soil samples representative of the backfill/native soil interface were collected in equal portions from the 15-centimeter interval above and below the interface, using a clean garden trowel and transferred into a new sample container. In addition, a single composite sample was collected per borehole
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey E-4 5184-SR-09-0 consisting of equal volume aliquots taken from each incremental core. The samples were not field sieved and were delivered to the laboratory as collected.
E.4 RADIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS E.4.1 GAMMA SPECTROSCOPY Samples were dried, mixed, crushed, and/or homogenized as necessary, and a portion sealed in a 0.5-liter Marinelli beaker. The quantity placed in the beaker was chosen to reproduce the calibrated counting geometry. Net material weights were determined and the samples counted using intrinsic, high purity, germanium detectors coupled to a pulse height analyzer system. Background and Compton stripping, peak search, peak identification, and concentration calculations were performed using the computer capabilities inherent in the analyzer system. All total absorption peaks (TAPs) associated with the ROCs were reviewed for consistency of activity. Spectra were also reviewed for other identifiable TAPs. TAPs used for determining the activities of ROCs and the typical associated MDCs for a one-hour count time are presented in Table E.2.

The samples were processed such that any technetium was converted into the pertechnatate anion. The pertechnatate anion was selectively absorbed on a chromatographic resin. Interfering elements were not retained under the correct conditions. The resin was counted with an appropriate liquid scintillation counting cocktail. The typical MDC for this procedure was 0.28 pCi/g.
HDP Subsurface Confirmatory Survey E-5 5184-SR-09-0 E.4.3 DETECTION LIMITS Detection limits, referred to as MDCs, were based on 95% confidence level. Because of variations in background levels, measurement efficiencies, and contributions from other radionuclides in samples, the detection limits differ from sample to sample and instrument to instrument.
E.4.4 U-234 CALCULATION The U-234 concentration was calculated by using the method specified in WEC 2013. First, the U-238 to U-235 ratio was calculated. The corresponding U-234 to U-235 ratio, determined using Table 14-5 in Chapter 14 of the HDP DP, was multiplied by the U-235 concentration to yield the U-234 concentration. If the U-238 to U-235 ratio was not specified in Table 14-5, the U-234 to U-235 value was linearly interpolated. If the U-235 value was negative, a U-234 to U-235 ratio of 21.07 was assumedthe ratio for natural uranium. The uncertainty for the calculated U-234 value was propagated assuming the U-234 to U-235 ratio had no uncertainty. The uranium enrichment was determined based on the U-238 to U-235 ratio in the same manner as the U-234 to U-235 ratio.
Table E.3, presented below, details the calculation of U-234.
