- Annual Report in compliance with Paragraph B.S.b of the Technical Specifications B.S.b(1) "Information relating to changes in those staff positions that are designated as being responsible for the deactivated facility."
On January 25, 1984 the SNEC Board of Directors elected the following SNEC officers:
R. W. Heward, Jr. - President SNEC M. B. Roche - V. P. SNEC J. G. Graham - Treasurer SNEC W. B. Murray - Secretary SNEC R. B. Heist - Asst. Secretary SNEC A. Muchoney - Comptroller SNEC B.5.b(2) "A summary of entries into the Containment Vessel or Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility and reasons for entry."
Entries were made into the Containment Vessel (CV) and/or Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility (RWDF), as follows:
Buildings Date Purpose Entered
- 1) 03-07-84 Radiological survey mapping of buildings RWDF, CV, and First Quarterly Radiological and Environmental Survey
- 2) 03-15-84 Radwaste assessment survey CV, RWDF
- 3) 05-15-84 Board of Directors meeting and Second CV, RWDF Quarterly Radiological and Environmental Survey
- 4) 06-25-84 Maintenance of RWDF tank dike, RWDF to radiological maintenance of RWDF, 06-29-84 contractors meeting for painting of CV, and Second Quarterly TLD change
- 5) 07-20-84 CV Sump Maintenance CV, RWDF
- 6) 08-07-84 Annual grid survey and Third Quarterly CV, RWDF to Radiological and Environmental Survey 08-09-84
- 7) 10-30-84 Fourth Quarterly Radiological and CV, RWDF Environmental Survey, solidification of CY sump water stored on CV operating deck, and Mobile Maintenance meeting
- 8) 12-11-84 Maintenance inspection RWDF 0001S
i B.S.b(3) "A summary of maintenance and design changes made to the deactivated facility."
On June 25-29, 1984, loose surface contamination was cleaned up from within the RWDF and the floor sealed to prevent further mobilization of fixed contamination. The RWDF tank dike was also covered with a tarp to prevent precipitation from entering and collecting within the dike.
In July 1984, weeds were cut down from the entire site, including '
the area around the CV, the Filled Drum Storage Bunker (FDSB), and the Exclusion Area (EA).
Also in July 1984, the CV sump was dried and lined with Herculite plastic. The condensate pipe leading to the sump was fitted with a plastic tube and routed into a six-gallon container.
In August 1984, the exterior of the CV was sandblasted and painted.
In December 1984, the C&A Building's double doors leading to the CV area were replaced and painted. The BWST access plate was sealed and painted.
B.S.b(4) "Results of surveys of radioactivity levels and of water sample analyses. "
Results of the 1984 quarterly inspections of the facility are as follows:
Analysis results of water samples from the CV sump, RWDF, and CV pipe tunnel are presented .in Tables 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The water samples from the CV sump were the only samples to yield radioisotopic concentrations in excess of 10 CFR 20, Table II, Column 2, Units for Unrestricted Areas.
Dose rates at the 20 permanently marked survey points in the CV ranged from <0.1 mR/hr to 0.4 mR/hr. The results are presented in Table 4.
Smear. surveys from the same 20 points yielded a range of <1,000 to 4,000 dpm. The survey results are presented in Table 5.
i Dose rates measured every quarter at the EA fence, the CV HEPA filter and l
the CV operating deck above elevation 812' are presented in Table 6. The levels are consistent with previous years.
- B.5.b(5) "A summary of the performance of security and surveillance measures."
During late May and early June 1984, two break-ins occurred at the Saxton Line office adjacent to the SNEC facility. Malicious vandalism occurred on both occasions and 22 environmental TLD's were stolen or destroyed.
There were no attempted break-ins or vandalism at the SNEC facility.
r Increased security has since been installed at the Line office and the i
vandalized TLD stations (11) have been replaced. The above incidents were reported to the USNRC.
