SUBJECT:
SPENT LIMESTONE RESULTS q
Hallsection sd
Dear Mr. Rouse:
dg Enclosed is a report on the spent limestone mon oring program required by Condition #16 of SMN-33.
The monitoring was conducted to determine the radioactive content of spend limestone and to assess any possible environ-mental effects of using spent limestone as fill material in the on-site unrestricted area.
Information has previously been submitted on uranium content and isotopic composition, activity in dust from tumbling contaminated limestone, Tc-99 activity levels and solubility test results.
The sampling program results show that survey and release procedures started in 1979 are effective in that all spent limestone currently used as fill material is well below the 30 picocuries per gram limit for unrestricted release specified in Option 1 of the Branch Technical Position Paper on residual radioactivity levels.
Pre-1979 spent limestone is only 50% of the Option 1 limit.
Therefore, we request approval of:
- 1. Unrestricted release of spent limestone currently in place as fill mater-ial (Pile A and C).
- 2. Disposition of the pre-1979 spent limestone (Pile B) as on-site unre-stricted area fill material.
- 3. Establishment of current spent limestone survey methods as an approved procedure for releasing spent limestone as on-site unrestricted area fill material.
We will be glad to discuss the monitoring program results with your or your staff at your convenience.
Respectfully submitted, kf 1
