PROPOSED CONFIRMATORY AND RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY PLAN FOR TIIE NUCLEAR LAKE SITE PAWLING, NEW YORK INTRODUCTION AND SITE HISTORY Nuclear fuels processing and research tegan in 1958 at a site near Pawling, New York, known as Nuclear Lake. Initial operations were performed by Nuclear Development Corporation; subsequently, the site was owned and operated by United Nuclear Corporation and Gulf United i
Corporation. Uranium oxide fuels of various U-235 enrichments were fabricated and tested at the site. Fuels utilizing thorium and plutonium were also fabricated and tested. The testing facilities at the site included several small experimental reactors. In 1972, activities at the site were discontinued and the site was decontaminated and surveyed. A report, indicating that the facilities satisfied the criteria for de.~.nmissioning, was prepared by ATCOR-.' The Nuclear Regulatory Commission license for the site was then terminated in 1975. The property was acquired in 1979 by the National Park Service (NPS) for the purpose of relocation of the.
Appalachian National Scenic Trail (ANST).
The NPS contracted Nuclear Energy Services (NES) to conduct additional surveys of portions of the property. Results of that survey, presented it i July 1984 report, identified a small area of resiNal contamination in the former Waste Disposal Building.: No other evidence of conto a in excess of the limits for unrestricted use was noted.
However, studies and reviews by the Nuclear Lake Management Committee, a local citizens group, raised concerns regarding residual contamination in building drains, septic tank and drain field systems, sediment in Nuclear Lake, and building interior paint.' The possibility that containers of radioactive or other hazardous wastes were discarded into Nuclear Lake was also N
indicated by the Management Committee.3 As a result of these concerns, the. PS requested tha't Prepared by the Environmental Smvey and Site Assessment Program, Energy / Environment Systemt. Division, Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education, under interagency agreement (NRC Firt. No. A-9093) between the U.S. Nucicar Regulatory Commission and the U.S..
Department of Energy.

l the Environmental Survey and Site and Assessment (ESSAP) of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE), then known as the Radiological Site Assessment Program of.
j Oak Ridge Associated Universities, conduct investigations and radiological surveys of the site l
that would address these concerns. The survey was conducted during September 1986 and the-
--i results provided in a July 1988 report.'
The survey identified alpha and/or beta surface activity levels in buildings which exceeded the -
NRC surface contamination guidelines. In addition, several soil samples. contained elevated-.
levels of plutonium and Cs-137. Electremagnetrometry and ground penetrating radar studies, which were conducted concurrently with the 1986 survey, identified a number of anomahes a'
within Nuclear Lake itself. Radiation Technical Services performed an underwater investigation of these anomalies, during November 1992. The investigation was unable to substantiate that any of the animals were the result of metal drums being present in the Lake as originally I
1 suspected.5 i
l The site has remained. in caretaker status pending decontamination and demolition of site l
buildings and excavation of contaminated soils. Chevron USA, Inc., under a con'sent agreement j
with the NRC, contracted NES to characterize and perform remediation of contaminated building j
surfaces and soils at' the Nuclear Lake Site. Structural decon> amination was limited to the I
Plutonium Facility and the Multiple Failure Building. Remediation of site soils was performed within the vicinities of the Plutonium Facility, Waste Disposal Building, and Shield Mock-up.
I Building. NES then performed final status surveys of the remediated building and soil areas.
l The NRC's Division of Low Level Waste Management has requested that the Environmental l
Survey and Site Assessment Program (ESSAP) of the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and l
Education (ORISE) perform a confirmatory sutvey of the remediated portions of the Nucicar j
P Lake Site. In addition, ESSAP has been requested to perform radiological surveys'of those j
unaffected buildings and open land areas where previous surveys did not any identify significant contamination.

SITE DESCRIPTION The Nuclear Lake Site is located off of Old State Route 55 between the towns of Pawling and -
Beckman in the eastern portion of New York State. The 460 ha (1136 acre) site is heavily wooded with the exception of the 20 ha lake; clearings in the-vicinity of the recently '
1 reconstructed dam, which impounds the lake at its southern end; the central portion of the site,.
f where eight of the nine original site buildings are located; and near the entrance to the site, t
where the ninth building is located.
I i
The site history indicates that of the nine buildings, only four may have been potentially used -
2 2
i for the processing or storage of radioactive materials. These buildings are the 700 m (7500 ft ),
2 2
Plutonium Facility, the Waste Disposal Building (39 m ), the Shield Mock-up Building (60 m ),
and the Critical Facility (510 m ).
The 1986 radiological survey identified residual 2
contamination above the NRC guidelines in the Plutonium Facility, a small area in the Multiple l
Failure Building, and one measurement location, remediated at the time of the' survey, in the Critical Faci}ity. The other buildings located on.the site include the Engineering Building (410 m ), the Lodge, and a house currently occupied by the site caretaker that was previously 2
2 known as the Remote Assembly Building (106 m ),
3 OBJECTIVES The objectives of the confirmatory survey are to validate the results of the NES final surveys by providing independent document reviews and sufficient data to evaluate the radiological status of the buildings and surrounding soil areas. The radiological survey will be performed to supplement previous survey results and gather additional data, for use by the NRC in.
determining the radiological status of the remainder of the property.
RESPONSIBILITY Work described in this survey plan will be performed under the direction of Michele Landis, Project Manager and Tim Vitkus, Project leader with ESSAP. The cognizant site supervisor has i

- i the authority to make appropriate changes to the survey procedures as deemed necessary.'_ After ~
f
- i consultation with the NRC site representative, the scope of the survey plan may be altered as-l the survey progresses. Deviations to the survey procedures or this plan will be documented in
[
the site log book.

DOCUMENT REVIEW r
ESSAl' has reviewed the NES work plan for soil remediation, the decommissioning plan for the.
Plutonium Facility and Multiple Failure Building, final release survey plan, and final survey-l report and supporting documentation concerning site characterization and remediation activities.6W Information was evaluated for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with j
guidelines. Comments for each document were provided to the NRC..it.12 SURVEY PROCEDURES A survey team from ESSAP'will visit the Nuclear Lake Site and perform. visual inspections,.
~.
measurements, and sampling.. Survey activities will be conducted in accordance with the ORISE i ESSAP Survey Procedures. The procedures applicable to this survey are listed on pages 11 and 12 of this survey plan. The scope of the surveys performed for various portions of the site will be objective dependent. Confirmatory survey procedures will be implemented for remediated portions of the site and radiologi. # surveys procedures, designed to meet draft NUREG/CR-5849 requirements, for the remaining portions.

ESSAP will use the im x 1m termination survey grid system established by NES for referencing measurement and sampling locations. This grid system has been installed on the floor and lower walls (up to 2 m) of each room. Upper walls and ceilings, with the exception of 2 rooms in the -
Plutonium Facility, were not gridded.
Measurements and samples collected from ungridded surfaces will be referenced to the Door-and/or lower grid or to prominent building features.
3 SurfitCLStan_s q
Surface scans for alpha, beta, and gamma activity will be performed over 100% of floor and
{
lower wall surfaces located in the Waste Disposal Building, eastern portion of the Plutonium Facility (Rooms 2-5,14, and 15), and southern portion of the Multiple Failure Building,1where remedial actions were concentrated.- Surface scans of non-remediated portions of the Plutonium Facility (Rooms 1, 6-13,16-18), and the northern portion of the Multiple Failure Building, will.
range in -coverage from 50 10 100% dependent upon findings as the. survey _ progresses.
Particular attention will be given to cracks or joints in the floors and walls, ledges, drains, and q
other locations where material may have settled or accumulated. Scans will be performed using gas proportional, ZnS, GM, and/or Nal detectors coupled to ratemeters or ratemeter-scalers with.
audible indicators. Locations of elevated direct radiation, detected by scans, will be marked for-further investigation.

j then the scope of the survey may require alteration-a Jhnosure Rate Mensurenltnis t
Exposure rate measurements will be made in each building. NUREG/CR-5849 recommends that i
an exposure rate measurement be performed at each direct measurement location; however, the j
small size of most of the site buildings may not necessitate this measurement frequency.
i Therefore, a minimum of one measurement will be made per building or room, whichever is i
applicable. Additional exposure rate measurements will be made at locations of elevated direct radiation detected by gamma surface scans. Measurements will be made at I m above the surface using a PIC.

Subfloor Soil Samoline Subfloor soil samples will be collected from 2 locations within each building. Locations will be selected based on the presence of potential migratory pathways such as expansion joints and drains.
RADIOLOGICAL SURVEY PROCEDURES: EXTERIOR The following procedures will be used for unaffected portions of the site associated with buildings, roads, walkways, and the dam area.
Reference System The unaffected outdoor areas will be subdivided into 4 survey units (Figure 1). ESSAP will establish a grid system consisting of-50 x 50 m grid blocks to reference-measurement-and=
sampling locations within each survey-unit. Prominent site features or-structures may also be
- used for reference.
Surface Scans Surface scans for gamma activity will be conducted over approximately 10% of the cleared -
portions of the site. Scans will be concentrated in those areas associated with the buildings, roads, walkways, and clearings. Scans will be performed using Nal detectors coupled to ratemeters with audible indicators. Locations of elevated direct radiation detected by scans will be marked for further investigation.
Soil Sampling Surface (0 to 15 cm in depth) soil samples will be collected from 30 locations within each of the 4 survey units. Subsurface samples,1 meter in depth, will be collected from a total of 30 of the surface sampling locations. Each of these sample boreholes will be logged A. gamma Nuckar lake sne. Sqqcmbre 16.1993.

samples will be collected from land areas outside of the buildings' perimeter. Soil sample.
locations will be systematically selected throughout the site or will be located at suspect locations 1
that were identified during surface scans. The sampling intervals will be performed in a manner e
that will permit approximating the average radionuclide concentration levels over 100 nf areas.
{
Exposure Rnte Measurements i
Exposure rates will be measured at I m above each soil sampling locations using a PIC or Nal detectors cross-calibrated with a PIC.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION Samples and data will be returned to ESSAP's Oak Ridge, Tennessee facility for analysis and-interpretation. Smears will be analyzed for gross alpha and gross beta activity with a low.
y background proportional counter.
Soil samples will be individually analyzed by gamma-
[
t spectrometry. The spectra will be reviewed for uranium, thorium, americium, cesium and any i
other identifiable photopeaks. Individual samples and/or composite samples, representing groups I
of up to 10 samples, may also be analyzed for isotopic plutonium by alpha spectrometry.
Individual samples selected for alpha spectrometry will be based on the gamma spectrometry j
results.
i The smear analytical results and direct measurement data will be converted to units of
-l dpm/100 cm and exposure rates in pR/h. Soil results will be reported in pCi/g. This data will
]
2 be compared to the final survey results provided 1.y NES and the NRC generic and site specific l
guidelines ' The site exposure rates and radionuclide concentrations in soil will also be compared with the background data previously collected.' The radiological survey data will be -
statistically evaluated and formatted in accordance with NUREG/CR-5849. The results will be provided in a draft report and submitted to the NRC for review and comment.
