k Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut Division of Operating Reactors U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 2 February 10, 1988 Environmental Survey On-site and off-site environmental monitoring is continued for the Nuclear Sciences area according to DOE and NRF requirements.

A report of the data from the monitoring program is developed annually.

A copy of the report, which will be distributed this month, is being forwarded to Leland Rouse. Division of Fuel Cycle and Materials Safety.

The raw data compiled for the report do not indicate any unusual conditions which may be attributable to this facility.

Retired Facility Surveys Surveys are performed monthly as part of our DOE surveillance and maintenance program.

These include smears, at approximately eighty (80) locations, evaluated for alpha and beta activity, and exposure dose rates at the ten highest locations.

All smear and exposure data over the year have been within acceptable limits and no abnormal conditions were noted.

Water Monitor All water collected in the interior sump from the old hot drain system is pumped to an outside sump through a monitoring chamber. The pump is controlled by the monitor.

If the set point is exceeded, the monitor alarms and interrupts the electric power to the pump.

The monitor employs a downscale failure alarm as well.

Instrument laboratory personnel perform monitor servicing including weekly response checks and ralibration with Cs-137 solutions at approximately annual intervals.

Facility Uses Current uses are:

Basement Area:

(1) Old pump room, northeast basement.

e Drain sump, water monitor, and sump pump.

e Storage of project archive samples packaged in cans.

(2) North basement, storage of 55-gallon drum packages of Pu bearing waste.

(3) West basement.

e Storage of three, crated, used/ cleaned Pu g?ove boxes.

These glove boxes remain stored with shipment being delayed by the purchaser.
