NRC WATER SAMPLING Selected water samples were collected by the NRC as part of the response to the TFE incident.
Samples collected included rain samples, Susquehanna River water, and miscellaneous samples.
Prec ipita tion / fallout samples were collected in flat plastic pans ll"x 13" in size.
River water or outfall 3
samples were collected as grab samples.
Sanple size varied from about 500 cm to several gallons, depending on the type of sample.
Samples were analyzed in the NRC mobile laboratory using either the Ge(Li) or NaI(Tl) analyzer.
Samples were analyzed in one of the standard geometries (bottle or Marinelli beaker) or were put through an anion exchange column (Dowex 1 x 8 (25-50 mesh)) prior to analysis. Minimum Detectable Activity levels varied with sample size and analytical methods.
Table 1 gives the water sampling locations. Table 2 provides the NRC results.
The quality assurance for this area included calibration with mixed gamma standards in the same geometries and routine re-counts and selected samples including those with positive results.

Procedure:
Health Physics Coverage of Solid Rad Waste Shipments Objectives:
To gather and retain information on Rad Waste Shipments and inspect and take independent surveys to insure that the licensee is in compliance with appropriate requirements and regulations.
Background:
We are periodically requested to provide information on radio-active waste shipments going offsite. This requires use to obtain and record shipping information from the licensee.
In addition, since we are already on site, we should verify that j
the shipments meet regulations.
?
Recuirements:
(1) Upon notification of an appending shipment, cbtain from the Rad Waste Management group the following information for each shipment, prior to its leaving the site.
Laundry waste and radioactive waste samples (reactor coolant samples) should be included.
a.
Type of waste b.
Total activity c.
Transportation company d.
Type of packaging e.
Destination f.
Neco shipment coordinator (2) Call Office of State Programs (OSP) and inform them of all shipments scheduled to leave site.
The 0,SP contact is Wayne Kerr (FTS 492-7767).
(3) Visibly inspect the shipment and take independent radio-activity measucements to verify that the licensee meets applicable regulations and requirements.
(4) Verify once a week by interview or direct ob se rva tion that the licensee's HP check all materials leaving pro-tected area.
