Onsite Disposition of Uranium Containing Soils. Meeting NRC Branch Technical Position Option 2 Criteria

Dear Mr. Sjoblom:

During our December 1,

1989 meeting with you and your

staff, Kerr-McGee agreed to perform additional subsurface soil sampling at-

'the Cimarron Facility.

Attached for your information is a - copy of' the sampling protocol for this effort.

We began the program on Monday, December 11, 1989.-

I CIMARR0N FACILITY SPECIAL SAMPLING PROTOCOL DECEMBER 1989 INTRODUCTION At the December 1,

1989, meeting between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Kerr-McGee Corporation, Kerr-McGee agreed to conduct a special sampling and excavation program to evaluate further subsurface uranium contamination at the ' Cimarron Uranium Facility.

This protocol addresses the sampling portion of that evaluation.

Kerr-McGee will sample comprehensively a selected portion of the site and perform random sampling over the potentially impacted area.

The excavation process will be discussed in a separate procedure.

EXCAVATION AREA SAMPLING A demonstration area for excavation was selected just north of the Uranium Plant Yard and east of the Coal R6D Plant.

Sixteen sample locations were selected within a

30m x

30m area at 10m grid intervals.

The locations are specified in Table 1

and shown in Figure 1.

Soil samples will be collected at 2 foot intervals to a i

depth of 20 feet.

Each sample will be analyzed for total uranium activity using the Cimarron Facility gamma spec.

analysis system.

Ten percent of the samples will be analyzed for K-40, U-238, U-235, U-234, Th-232, Ra-226 and Ra-228 activity.

RANDOM SAMPLING An area potentially contaminated from previous uranium operations at the Cimarron F ac.ility was defined.

This area is shown in Figure 2 j

and is bounded by a

broken

line, with each corner coordinate indicated in parentheses.

Twenty sample locations selected radomly are specified in Table 2 and shown in Figure 2.

Soil samples will be collected at 2

foot intervals to a depth of 20 feet.

Each sample will be analyzed for total uranium activity using the Cimarron Facility gamma spec.

analysis system.

Ten percent of the samples will be analyzed for K-40, U-238, U-235, U-234, Th-232, Ra-226 and Ra-228 activity.

, GAMMA LOGGING Each of the boreholes will be gamma 1cgged at two foot intervals corresponding to soil sample locations.

Count rate data will be evaluated relative to the uranium concentration results.
