Subject:

Inspection Report 50-192/93-01 Confirmation survey Removal of pool 31ner

Dear Sir:

The University of Texas scheduled removal of the pool liner in Taylor Hall room 131 for the week of April 19.

Removal of the liner by the project contractor, Quadrex Recycle Center, was completed April 23.

Surveys subsequent to the liner removal included scans with a thin window pancake GM type probe, direct 1 minute readings with the probe and contamination swipes of the remaining tank structure surface.

All measurements were within the release criteria of Regulatory Guide 1.86.

Previous measurements with a RS-111 had demonstrated gamma exposure rates less than < 5 pR/hr (submittal letter December 17, 1992 and March 22, 1993).

Pool liner material, aluminum, was transported to Quadrex Recycle Center for survey for release or disposal.

No contamination of the liner exceeding Reg. Guide 1.86 was found.

Observation of the removal of the liner noted one to two hundred milliliters of water trapped between the concrete wall and the aluminum liner.

Surveys in the area of the entrapped water indicated no residual activity.

Liner contact with the structural concrete did not contain areas that could contain amounts of water in excess of 100 - 200 milliliters.

Except for the noticed drainage no accumulations of water from pool overflow were indicated.

Radioactive contamination previously noted along the surface edge of the pool liner were essentially the same after removal of the liner.

Remedial actions were taken to remove small amounts of concrete in the previously defined areas along the pool liner to concrete interface and in the flat area adjacent to the pool.

These areas exceeded release levels at.

several spots prior: to the remedial work.

Material removed and rubble from the liner removal was sent to the Quadrex Recycle Center for release or disposal.

A small fraction of 1 cubic foot was removed from the surface area adjacent to the pool.
