() j Summery l This radiation survey was conducted to document current levels of radioactivity at sites on or near Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant (BNFP) and to compare these with historical data. O rn october 19es litter, humus and soil samples were collected at eleven sites and analyzed in the laboratory. In site gamma-ray radiometric measurements were performed at twelve i sites. From this in situ data there appeared to be evidence i of the presence of elevated concentrations of 137Cs and 60Co near the eastern boundary of the site at the Deborne Road () air / rain station.

However, because of the proximity of possible radiation sources on the adjacent

property, special

litter, humus and soil samples were taken at seven locations in January 1984 to resolve whether the high activities l

measured in situ at the Osborne Road site resulted from contamination in the soil or from possible sources of () radiation on the adjacent property. Gamma-ray analyses of these samples con +1rm that the 137Cs levels in the soil and litter / humus at the Osborne Road site are consistent with normal 137Cs fallout levels measured throughout the area. Cobalt-60 is present in the soil and litter / humus at the Osborne Road

site, but in concentrations consistent with i

O levels rep cted in 1976-1979. Neither the 137Cs nor the soCo concentrations in these terrestrial samples accounted for the r high in situ readings at Osborne Road. The most likely sources to produce these high in situ readings are parked trucks and other cperations on the adjacent Chem-Nuclear property. There is no evidence that past operations at BNFP l () have contributed measurable activity to the local environment. O O C)

lO l l 1.0 Introduction The radiological survey presented in this report is part of the process of preparing the Bernwell Nuclear Fuel Plant for a period of inactivity. Although the plant has never been utilized for any of the principle functions for which it was constructed, i.e., fuel storage and reprocessing, it was O decided to conduct c.diological survey to assure,or the record that no adverse radiological impacts have resulted from any operations conducted on the site. 2.0 Description of Study The survey conducted was designed to provide a rapid but illustrative indication of the presence of radioactivity other than that expected from fallout and naturally occurring radionuclides. Since the initial in situ survey conducted in Octaber 1993 showed the presence of unexpected radicactivity O in the vicinity of the Osborne naad air / rain station, further sampling and analysis were perf ormed in this area in January 1994. The radiological survey consisted of the following: 2.1 Laboratory Litter / Humus and Bott Measurements O The October 1983 study consisted of laboratory-conducted gamma-ray spectrometric analyses of litter / humus and soil samples collected at eleven of the twelve representative sites. At each site litter /httaus was collected f rom three randomly chosen 0.5 square meter plots. A core consisting of the top 5 contiaeeters of soil was taken f rom each of the three O plots at each site. The soll and litter / humus was dried and composited to give a single soil and a single litter / humus composite sample from each site. These samples were then analyzed for the presence of radioactivity by high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy. O For the January 1984 study seven sampling locations were selected in the vicinity of the Osborne Road air / rain monitoring station. Litter, humus and soil was collected at each of these locations in the manner previously described and sLbsequently analyzed in the laboratory for the presence of radioactivity. O 2.2 in Situ Gamma-May Analysis in situ gamma-ray radiometric measurements were performed in October 1993 at twelve terrestrial sites near or similar to those used over the past years for the preoperational program '1-2>. This me.sur. ment technique has b.en u..d with O great success for a number of years to make rapid and effective determinations of environmental radiation fields and the resulting radiation exposure rates. (3-13). The in situ O

!O i Page 2 i i I

method, when property applied and interpreted is a powerful iO to i,oc lon, ter,radiologicai environmentai monitorin,.

in situ spectroscopy can provide the concentration of certain j; radionuclides in the soil, the deposition in pCi/cm of air l deposited radionuclides and the total gamma-ray exposure rate at a particular sito. However, because of the sensitivity of i 1 this method to all sources of radiation, care must be used i jO . hen measuring and reporting soil concentrations that the source of radiation is in fact in the soit layer and not j i extraneous to it. The in situ method is used to detect and 1 characterize the radiation environment at nuclear facilities I j and to identify changes in the levels of radioactivity on j subsequent surveys (10, 14). Of particular importance is the

O rapidtty atth which this technique can furnish a good estimate j

of the spectrometrically specifiets gamma-ray exposure rate, ] dose assessment being an important goal of any environmental l monitorin; program. A detailed description of the equipment 2 and in situ methodology is presented in Appendix A. l t 0 2.3 water s.mple Analysis i i Gross

O. - page 38 !O Appendix A Equipment Description and In Situ Method lO A.0 Equipment Description and Method O The method and evaluation of the in situ gamma-ray measurement technique have been published in several articles.3,4,15 By placing a high resolution and high efficiency gamma-ray detector at the site from which environmental radiation data is required, the effective source intensity of that radiation .O is enlarged many times. Instead of analyzing a series of samples collected I in the field and tediously processed in the laboratory, the entire site is I analyzed in a few hours. The detector used in this particular survey is a high resolution Ge(L1) downlooker with self-contained power supplies. All the other equipment, including the analyzer, amplifier and computer, is transported to the site in a rugged four-wheel drive truck especiallf configured for in situ work. A.1 Equipment Description A.l.1 Vehicle O The Mobile Environmental Radiation Laboratory consists of a 1975 GMC 3 - Jimmy truck with all the equipment necessary to accumulate and analyze j_n, situ ganna-ray spectra. This vehicle is large enough to contain all the electronic gear and yet small enough to be completely maneuverable off O the mad. It is designed to operate in remote areas and is fitted with heavy-duty equipment wherever possible. A three inch thick bulkhead athwart the rear of the truck divides the cargo space into two sections, one at ambient temperature accessibl'e through the tailgate, where the Ge(Li) O detector is carried, and one inside the truck, where the electronic equip-O

w a _s -.;.--:.i J O Page 39 ment is located, maintained at room temperature by the vehicle air condi-lO tioner or heater as appropriate. On the ambient temperature side of the bulkhead is a 2.5 kilowatt generator which supplies 120,VAC for operating the electronic gear. It is shock mounted to the floor of the truck and exhausts through the open tailgate. lO A.l.2 Detector and Electrcnic Equipment The Ge(Li) detector is a Canberra 7229 downlooker with Canberra 970 Preamplifier. It is mounted on a tripod. I m above ground for jn situ n !O counting and is connected to the truck by a 30 m long coaxial cable carry-ing the energy signal. The preamplifier power and detector high voltage are supplied by batteries which hang from a yoke attached to the detector dewar. The absence of the usual high voltage and power cables eliminates 1O ground loops and increases the energy resolution. The electronic components are installed in a cut down, shock mounted relay rack in the air conditioned part of the truck. These include a 4096 channel Northern Scientific NS-720 multichannel analyzer. Northern Scientific !O NS-442 calculator interface, Hewlett-Packard 9810A desk top calculator. Hewlett-Packard 9865A cassette memory, and a Canberra 1413 linear amplifier. This equipment has been adapted to fit the' requirements of the Mobile i Laboratory, rather than having been purchased specifically for jn, situ work. O The detector, calculator, and analyzer are used for fixed geometry counting in the laboratory while the truck is not actually in the field. i A.l.3 Method lO The analysis of each gama-ray spectrum is performed by a Hewidtt Packard microcomputer. The calculator is interfaced to the multichannel analyzer through a Northern Scientific NS-422 two-way calculator interface. The guiding principle is that the complete analysis be performed on-site in !O as short a time as possible. It is thought that this capability is unique. The software system consists of programs recorded on a tape cassette in their exact order of use so that no time is lost in tape transport, and i tape commands are held to the minimum. The analysis is initiated and

O controlled by the operator, leaving the calculator free for other use l

during spectrum accumulation. l !O l

O Page 40
O Prior to each analysis a two point energy calibration is made, usingthej_n,situspectrumjustacquired. Experience has shown this to n

be necessary due to gain shifts caused by temperature changes inside the truck. The energy calibration requires.about 1 minute to complete. iO The analysis pregram calculates the intensity of each photopeak in the spectrum and the activity and gamma-ray exposure rate for each isotope in the library. The intensities of the 352 key 214Pb line and 583 kev 20sT1 line O are stored for use in the interference correction described below. The peak detection subroutine closely follows that developed by Wood and Palms (1974), with the addition that a limit of sensitivity, denoted ~ i LOSI, is given by 2/fN, where IN is the supi of the points in the continuum O if a peak is detected or IN is the sum of six points at the peak position if it is not detected but is in the library. This subroutine will resolve peaks only four channels apart. For each peak the output, which may be suppressed, is energy, centroid, number of channels in the peak, intensity, iO and error in intensity. A library search is performed for each peak detected. If successful, the activity A, error, AA, and Minimum Detectable Activity, MDA, are output. 'O lO 10 i O O

(1972),' along with a more general discussion of the problem than is desirable here. The value of (c(}) used above is obtained by fitting curves to the data given in Table 1 of HASL-258. The curves are of the fom 1(p)1)g,b2( )h -{e y +c(*) = e w o<a<= (2) !O r b a +ch)=e w ", a== (3) I l lO (c(0) = tabulated, a =-0 (4) I l where w = energy in kev. a = 0 corresponds to a source distributed unifomly O in the soil, in which case A_ has units of pCi/ gram. a = = is a plane j source. Otherwise an exponential distribution with depth is assumed, with iO

.O Page 42 arelaxationlengthoff.A_hasunitspCi/cm2 in these cases (a y 0). The interference factor is given by lO cr+c(0) interferring line, i.e., 665.6 kev 21481 (5) er+c(0)interferenceseries,i.e.,352 key 214Pb This is the fraction of the intensity of, for example, the 352 kev 214Pb j O line to be subtracted from the 661.6 kev 137Cs line to correct for inter-I ference from the 665.6 key 21481 line. The error in the activity is {AI2+(o,07I32+(kAI)2+(0.03I)2}1/2 q b where AI is the statistical error in the photopeak integration. 0.07I is O. an estimate of the error introduced in the efficiency calibration and curve fitting, kAI, is the error in the interference subtraction and-0.03I is an estimate of the effect of a reasonable error in soil density determination. .b_ is the denominator in equation (1). The Minimum Detectable O Activity, calculated for each isotope in the library whether detected or not, is given by MDA= f. (7) The gannia-ray exposure rate ER, for each isotope or decay chain as appmpriate, is also calculated. The exposure rate in pR/hr is O ER = A+E( ) (8) 1 where (E($) is obtained from Tables 8 and 9 of HASL-258. These data are fit to curves of the fom O (E(f)=e (f) 0<a<. (9) O + ()) is tabulated for a = 0 and a =. The error in the exposure rate O

O Page 43 includes a five percent' calibration ters. A Minimum Detectable Exposure Rate (MDER) is also provided. Peaks with a right hand continuum which rose above the threshold, O that is, did not decrease monotonically, are flagged. This may indicate poor statistics or the presence of another peak which was missed in thi scan. In these cases a program which allows the continuum to be specified by the operator is used and the calculation proceeds as described. Spectra O can be stored on tape cassettes and reloaded into the multichannel analyzer at a later time. Other programs print sections of the spectrum, calculate efficiency and alter the isotope library. The absolute efficiency of the detector is given by E(w)='{1-e( 1+'2 "(")))g,('3+'4 "("))) I I (10) O where e, e ' '3, and e4 are measured and w is the energy in kev. g 2 3 O O l i
