I. INTRODUCTION This report covers the Quality Assurance (QA) Program for the Analytical Services function of the Framatome ANP Environmental Laboratory (E-LAB) for the second half (July-December) of 2004. Due to the broad scope of QC inter-comparison programs in which the E-LAB participates, the report consolidates wherever possible, text and results into three service categories: Radiological Environmental Monitoring, Part 50/61, and Bioassay.
This report includes:
- intralaboratory QC results analyzed during the reporting period,
- interlaboratory QC results, analyzed prior to the reporting period, for which
'known values" were not previously available, and
- interlaboratory QC results, analyzed during the reporting period, for which
'known values" were available.
Any other inter-laboratory QC results will be included in the next semi-annual report.
Manual 100, Revision 8 (Reference 1) became effective on September 10, 2004. The text of this report reflects the latest revision of this manual, as do the trending graphs and any data evaluations performed after the effective date. Any data evaluations performed prior, however, were conducted in accordance with Manual 100, Revision 7.
A. Quality Control Program Scope
- 1. Inter-laboratory and Third Party The Framatome ANP Environmental Laboratory QC Program is designed to monitor the quality of analytical processing associated with environmental, bioassay, effluent (10CFR Part 50), and waste (IOCFR Part 61) sample analysis.
Inter-laboratory and third party quality control programs for environmental radioanalyses include: the Environmental Crosscheck Program, administered by Analytics, Inc., the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Measurement Assurance Program (MAP), the Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) Proficiency Test (PT)
Program, the Department of Energy (DOE) Mixed Analyte performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP).
The QAP program administered by the (DOE) Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) was suspended by the Department of Homeland Security following the results of QAP 60 (contained in the first half 2004 report). The MAPEP program is administered by the Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) and consists of four media (water, soil, vegetation, and air filter) submitted twice each year. The MAPEP samples are designed to evaluate the ability and quality of analytical facilities performing sample measurements that contain hazardous and radioactive (mixed) analytes. The ERA PT FAADMIN\CORRESTEL 027-05 program consists of radionuclides in water submitted twice per year. This program is used to maintain certification with the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP). The certification is necessary to perform analysis for projects that must meet EPA regulations for the Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation &
Recovery Act (RCRA), or the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA).
Inter-laboratory and third party quality control for Part 50/61 radioanalyses, is provided by the Radiochemistry Crosscheck Program, administered by Analytics, Inc. and the NIST MAP.
- 2. Intra-laboratory The internal Quality Control program is designed to include QC functions such as instrumentation checks (to insure proper instrument response),
blank samples (to which no analyte radioactivity has been added),
instrumentation backgrounds, duplicates, as well as overall staff qualification analyses and process controls. Both process control and qualification analyses samples seek to mimic the media type of those samples submitted for analysis by the various laboratory clients. These process controls (or process checks) are either actual samples submitted in duplicate in order to evaluate the precision of laboratory measurements, or blank samples which have been "spiked" with a known quantity of a radioisotope that is of interest to Laboratory clients. These QC samples, which represent either 'single" or 'double blind" unknowns, are intended to evaluate the entire radiochemical and radiometric process.
To provide a sense of direction and consistency in administering the quality control program, E-LAB has developed and follows an annual quality control and audit assessment schedule (Reference 2). The plan, which is approved on or before January 15th of each year and reviewed for adequacy at monthly LQARC meetings, describes the scheduled frequency and scope of Quality Assurance and Control actions considered necessary for an adequate program. The magnitude of the process control program combines both internal and external sources targeted at 5% of the routine sample analysis load.
B. Quality Assurance Program (Internal and External Audits)
During each semi-annual reporting period at least one internal assessment is conducted in accordance with the pre-established E-LAB Quality Control and Audit Assessment Schedule. In addition, the Laboratory may be audited by prospective customers during a pre-contract audit, and/or by existing clients who wish to conduct periodic audits in accordance with their contractual arrangements. A National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) audit is performed every two years as part of maintaining certification to perform EPA-related analyses.
FMADMIN\CORRES\EL 027-05 II. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA A. Acceptance Criteria The E-LAB has adopted a QC acceptance protocol based upon two performance models:
- For those inter-laboratory programs that already have established performance criteria (i.e., MAPEP, ERA, and TRIP), the Laboratory will utilize the criteria for the specific program.
- For inter-laboratory or third party QC programs that have no preset acceptance criteria (e.g. the Analytics Crosscheck Programs, NIST MAP),
results will be evaluated in accordance with E-LAB internal acceptance criteria.
- 1. Internal Process Control Samples Internal Process Control (PC) results are evaluated in accordance with two separate E-LAB acceptance criteria. A full discussion of the analytical services acceptance criteria can be found in Reference 1. The first criterion concerns bias, which is defined as the deviation of any one result from the known value. The second criterion concerns precision, which deals with the ability of the measurement to be faithfully replicated by comparison of an individual result with the mean of all results for a given sample set. Quality control deviations falling outside the Laboratory acceptance criteria are discussed in the appendices.
(a) Bias For each analytical measurement tested, the bias is the percent deviation of the reported result relative to the expected value (value of the spike known by comparison with or derivation from a standard reference material). The percent deviation relative to the known is calculated as follows:
(H';HI'100 Hi where:
H= the value of the it measurement in a category being tested Hi = the actual quantity in the test sample as defined by the spike The Laboratory internal criterion for bias is that an analysis is considered in agreement if the value is within +/-15% of the known value. If this condition is not met, the two-sigma range about the analyzed value is established. If the known value falls within the specified range, the analysis is considered in agreement.
FHADMIN\CORRES\EL 027-0S Deviations from this general criterion, for specific radionuclides, are given in Tables 1 and 13 and Reference 1.
E-LAB acceptance criteria are applied when the sample concentration is 10 or more times the method MDC. Otherwise, the 'known value" and associated uncertainty are compared to the measured result and uncertainty using a two-tailed standard statistical test at the 95% confidence level.
(b) Precision For a group of test measurements containing a given spiked level, the precision is the percent deviation of individual results relative to the mean reported measurement. At least two values are required for the determination of precision. The percent deviation relative to the mean reported measurement is calculated as follows:
(Hi' RH1 0 0 where:
H= the reported measurement for the ith analytical measurement H = the mean analytical measurement Ft = H(
n = the number of samples in the test group The Laboratory criterion for precision is that an analysis is considered in agreement if the individual value is within +/-15% of the mean value. If this condition is not met, the two-sigma range about the analyzed value is established. If the mean value falls within the specified range, the analysis is considered in agreement. In the case of duplicate or replicate analyses where there is no "known" value, the two-sigma range is established for each duplicate analysis (three-sigma range for replicates) for each analysis. If the ranges overlap, the analyses are considered in agreement for precision.
Deviations from this general criterion, for specific radionuclides, are given in Tables 1 and 13 and Reference 1.
F:\ADMIN\CORRES\EL 027-05 (c) Mean Bias For each group of analytical measurements tested, the mean bias is the percent deviation of the mean reported result relative to the expected value. The mean percent deviation relative to the expected value is calculated as follows:
[((Hi)X 0 where:
H = the mean analytical measurement Hi = the actual quantity in the test sample as defined by the spike
.2. Backgrounds As discussed in Reference 1, backgrounds represent the ambient signal response, recorded by measuring instruments, which is independent of radioactivity contributed by the radionuclides being measured in the sample. Backgrounds will not normally contain any three-sigma statistically positive activity of the target parameters. The background signal is subtracted from the sample's signal.
- 3. Blanks Wherever possible equivalent media for preparing laboratory processing blanks will be used. Synthetic matrices may be used for bioassay if equivalency is proven.
- 4. NRC Resolution Criteria Some Laboratory clients use the NRC Resolution Criteria to evaluate double blind Part 50 performance. NRC Resolution Criteria are based on an empirical relationship that combines prior experience and the accuracy needs of the program' As "Resolution" increases, the acceptability of one's measurement becomes more selective. Conversely, as "Resolution" decreases, agreement levels are widened to account for the increase in uncertainty.
- 5. DOE Evaluation Criteria (a) The Environmental Measurements Laboratory (EML) test program (DOEQAP) was cancelled by the Department of Energy in 2004.
A future test program may become available if deemed necessary by the Department of Homeland Security.
(b) The Radiological & Environmental Sciences Laboratory (RESL) inter-comparison program, MAPEP, defines three levels of FAADMIN\CORRE5\EL 027-05 performance: Acceptable (flag = 'A"), Acceptable with Warning (flag = 'W"), and Not Acceptable (flag = "N"). Performance is considered acceptable for a mean with a bias *20% of the reference value for the analyte. Performance is acceptable with warning for a mean result bias of >20% but *30% of the reference value. If the bias is greater than 30% the results are deemed not acceptable.
- 6. ANSI 13.30 Relative Bias Criteria for Bioassay The relative bias statistic is defined for the ith measurement in a category with respect to the expected value (value of the spike known by comparison with or derivation from a standard reference material) is defined as:
13 (Ai - Air)
Where:
A, = the value of the ith measurement in a category being tested A,, = the actual quantity in the test sample, as defined by the spike In order to avoid the expense of a large number of replicates at each radioactivity level in each category, the relative bias B, is calculated from the individual relative biases Bi and defined as Br = I, (BN )
Where: N is the number of test samples measured by an individual service laboratory in a given test category.
For testing purposes Br shall be within -0.25 to +0.50 B. QC Investigation Criteria and Result Reporting
- 1. QC Investigation Criteria Summarized below are the investigation criteria applied to QC analyses that failed E-LAB bias criteria. The Condition Report process tracks investigation results.
(a) No investigation is necessary when an individual QC result falls outside the QC performance criteria for bias.
(b) Investigations shall be initiated when the mean of a QC process batch or the mean of three consecutive individual QC processes is outside the performance criterion for bias.
F:AADMIN\CORRE5XEL 027-05 (c) An investigation shall be initiated when the trending of at least 12 consecutive results for a given process indicates that the mean bias from the known is greater than 60% of the bias performance criterion.
- 2. Reporting of Analytical Results to Laboratory Customers A similar set of guidelines was developed, applicable to reporting of results. The guidelines are as follows:
If an investigation is required for a process (normally after consecutive QC process check failures), and if the QC results requiring the investigation have a mean bias from the known of greater than +/- (applicable E-LAB bias criterion +5%) for environmental and bioassay processing and +/- (applicable E-LAB bias criterion +10%) for Part 50/61 processing, then the LQARC shall meet to determine the disposition of client results.
- 3. Self-Assessment Program In accordance with Reference 1, E-LAB has established a Self-Assessment policy where all Laboratory staff members are strongly encouraged to continually evaluate laboratory activities for quality enhancements, cost savings, and time savings.
Ill. ANALYTICAL SERVICES QUALITY CONTROL SYNOPSIS A. Result Summary Two-year (2003-2004) trending graphs are provided in Appendices A-C of this report to give temporal perspective regarding possible trends or bias. In the event an analysis does not meet E-LAB performance criteria, the individual analysis sheet(s), in addition to a brief explanation, are included to augment the graph. It should be noted that DOE and ERA samples are evaluated against criteria specific to the DOE samples. Therefore, only sample results which fell in the "Warning" or Non-Agreement" categories will be addressed in the Appendices. If any questions arise regarding previous analyses, please refer to the semi-annual status report corresponding to the sample analysis date. In all cases an analysis sheet is available for each individual analysis to back-up the data, presented on the graph.
- 1. Radiological Environmental Services Quality Control During this semi-annual reporting period, twenty-six nuclides associated with media types were analyzed by means of the Laboratory's internal process control, DOE, NIST, ERA and Analytics quality control programs.
Media types representative of client company analyses performed during this reporting period were selected. Presented below is a synopsis of the media types evaluated.
Air Filter Sediment/soil Charcoal (Air Iodine) Water F:\ADMIN\CORRESMEL 027-05 Milk (a) Analytics Environmental Cross Check Program During this semi-annual period the Analytics Cross Check Program provided 154 individual environmental analyses for bias and 154 for precision evaluation (Table 1). Of the 154 analyses evaluated for bias, 100% (154/154) of all results fell within E-LAB acceptance criteria. Of the 154 analyses evaluated for precision, 100% (154/154) came within E-LAB tolerance limits. Appendix A graphically summarizes the results by two-year trending graphs.
Table 2 provides a report of the Laboratory's participation in the Analytics' cross check program for the second and third quarters of 2004. Using the Laboratory's internal acceptance criteria as the basis of evaluation, all 53 of mean results came within agreement criteria.
Due to problems encountered during the dissolution steps of the E4185-162 Sr-89/90 filter for the second quarter 2004, a replacement Sr-90 filter from the MAPEP second half samples was included in the results table. The Sr-90 result was within the MAPEP acceptance criteria. An Analytics replacement Sr-89/90 filter, E4340-162, was successfully analyzed and is included in Table 2.
(b) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Measurement Assurance Program (MAP)
The E-LAB has been a participant in the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI)/National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Measurements Assurance Program since June of 1987.
Continued participation is documented by dated Reports of Traceability issued for particular radionuclides, which indicate the deviation of the participant's reported value for a given measurement technique from that measured and certified by the NIST.
During this reporting period there were two NIST MAP samples received. The water sample consisted of 3 radionuclides and 36 measurements performed. The filter sample consisted of 5 radionuclides and 30 measurements performed. Detailed information on Environmental NIST MAP data is provided in Tables 3 and 4. All of the 66 measurements met the E-LAB acceptance criteria and 14 of 22 mean results met the administrative limit of +/-5%. NIST traceability certificates will be issued for all detector/nuclide combinations.
FMADMIN\CORRES\EL 027-05 (c) Summary of Participation in the Department of Energy (DOE)
Monitoring Programs During this semi-annual reporting period, a combination of three different media types and twelve different radionuclides were analyzed for the semi-annual Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP-04-12, Table 6). All but one of the 23 mean results were evaluated as "Acceptable." Two of the 23 tests were acceptable false positive tests. The Pu-238 in water test fell in the uWarning" range with a bias of -20.6% (with an acceptance limit of 20%). CR 04-17 was initiated to investigate the failure.
(d) Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) Proficiency Test (PT)
Program During this semi-annual period, a total of 9 mean results (n=3) were evaluated by ERA. Using the evaluation criteria set by NELAP, 88.9% (8/9) of the radionuclides were in 'Agreement."
The single failure, Co-60 in water, was caused by a data entry error in the ERA internet database. The analyzed result was well within the acceptance criteria. Appendix A graphically summarized the results by two-year trending graphs. Table 7 provides a report of the Laboratory's participation in the PT program.
The Framatome ANP Environmental Laboratory (Lab ID# 11823) maintained NELAP accreditation from the New York State Department of Health through the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program for the following methods for both potable and non-potable waters:
Gross Alpha, Method EPA 900.0 Gross Beta, Method EPA 900.0 Iodine-131, Method ASTM D4785-88 Photon Emitters, Method EPA 901.1 Radioactive Cesium, Method EPA 901.1 Tritium, Method EPA 906.0 (e) Intra-Laboratory Process Control Program The Environmental Laboratory internal process control program evaluated 452 individual analyses for bias and 219 analyses for precision. Trending graphs associated with the performance results for this program are given in Appendix A, and the results are summarized in Table 8.
Of the 452 internal process control analyses evaluated for bias, 99.1 % met Laboratory acceptance criteria. Also, 100% of the 219 results for precision were found to be acceptable.

(j) Summary of Environmental Quality Control Results by Year The historical summary of the E-LAB process control program performance for the environmental monitoring function is provided in Table 12. For the second half of 2004, 99.4% of the analyses fell within the E-LAB acceptance criteria for bias as compared to a historical percentage of 96.7. Similarly, 100% of the analyses evaluated for precision met the E-LAB acceptance criteria as compared to 99.4% of analyses for the 27-year operating history.
- 2. Part 50/61 Quality Control During this semi-annual reporting period, twenty-one nuclides were analyzed by means of the Laboratory's internal process control, National FAADMIN\CORREM\EL 027-05 Institute for Standards and Technology Measurement Assurance Program (NIST MAP) measurements of Part 50/61 radionuclides, and the Analytics Radiochemistry Crosscheck Program.
(a) Analytics Radiochemistry Cross Check Program During this semi-annual period the Analytics Cross Check Program provided 18 individual analyses to be evaluated for bias and precision (Table 13). Of the 18 analyses, 100% fell within the E-LAB acceptance criteria for bias and 100% for precision..
Appendix B graphically summarizes the results by two-year trending graphs.
Table 14 provides a report of the Laboratory's participation in the Analytics' cross check program for the second half of 2004. Using the Laboratory's internal acceptance criteria as the basis of evaluation, all 6 results passed the agreement criteria.
(b) NIST Measurement Assurance Program (MAP)
During this reporting period there were two NIST MAP samples received. The water sample consisted of 3 radionuclides and 36 measurements performed. The filter sample consisted of 5 radionuclides and 30 measurements performed. Detailed information on NIST MAP data is provided in Tables 15 and 16.
All of the 66 measurements met the E-LAB acceptance criteria and 14 of 22 mean results met the administrative limit of +/-5%.
NIST traceability certificates will be issued for all detector/nuclide combinations.
(c) Intra-Laboratory Process Check Program There were 91 internal Laboratory QC process control analyses evaluated for bias and 78 for precision during the second half of 2004 in the Part 50/61 area. Of these, 91.2% (83/91) met the E-LAB acceptance criteria for bias. A total of 100% (78/78) Part 50/61 process control samples met E-LAB acceptance criteria for precision (Table 17).

FMADMIN\CORRES\EL 027-05 (f) Overall Data Summary for the Reporting Period July-December 2004 The compilation of intra- and inter-laboratory comparison data by analyzed matrix for this reporting period is summarized in Table 18. The cumulative bias shows 95.4% (167/175) of the individual results fell within E-LAB acceptance criteria for bias. A total of 100% (162/162) of the results met Laboratory precision criteria.
(g) Summary of Part 50/61 Quality Control Results by Year The historical E-LAB summary of process control performance for the Part 50/61 monitoring program is provided in Table 19. For the calendar year 2004, 95.0% of the QC analyses fell within E-LAB acceptance criteria for bias as compared to the sixteen year historical percentage of 94.0. For precision, 100% of the results met the precision acceptance criteria as compared to 99.2%
historically.
- 3. Bioassay Quality Control There were no bioassay QC analyses performed during this semi-annual period as indicated in Table 20.
For the past several years, the E-LAB has participated in the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Thyroid Radioiodine Intercomparison Project (TRIP). This program allows laboratories and facilities to self-assess their performance for in-vivo measurements of radioiodine isotopes in the thyroid. The LLNL established the intercomparison project to provide participating facilities with an independent means of evaluating their thyroid radio-iodine measurement using the IAEA/ANSI thyroid calibration neck phantom and well characterized NIST-traceable isotopes for 1-125 and 1-131. As shown in Table 21, TRIP 0504-52 was conducted during this semi-annual period.
The 1-125 and 1-131 biases were well within the acceptance criteria.
B. Status of Condition Reports (CR)
Table 22 provides a synopsis of CR activity for sample processing during the second half of 2004. Fifteen items were closed and fifteen were opened during this reporting period. As of December 31, 2004, a total of three CRs remain open, none of which are older than 6 months.
C. Status of Audits/Assessments
- 1. Internal Corporate QA Audit 04-29 Framatome ANP Quality Assurance audited the E-LAB during the period December 13-21, 2004.. The audit scope included verification of FAADMIN\CORRE5\EL 027-05 compliance with the applicable quality requirements of the Laboratory QA, Safety, and Condition Report manuals. A total of five findings were issued and are summarized as CRs 04-20 through 04-24 in Table 22.
Three of these CRs have been closed and the remaining two are pending closure following procedure revisions to enhance the noted areas. The auditor concluded that "... individuals in the Marlborough and Westborough offices are effectively implementing the quality requirements..."
2.' External There were no external audits conducted during this semi-annual period.

Subject:
Second Half of 2004, Blind Duplicate Program Results The Framatome ANP Environmental Laboratory (E-LAB) participates in a Blind Duplicate Program administered by the participating utility companies. For the second half of calendar year 2004, 99.6% of the paired sample measurement results were within the program's criteria for acceptance.
The Blind Duplicate Program began in 1979 as a cooperative effort among the participating companies. Samples are collected and split in the field and submitted to the E-LAB for analysis. The E-LAB Quality Assurance Officer verifies and reports the program results to the participants. The results are evaluated against the E-LAB acceptance criterion established in Reference 1, which states that a paired measurement is in agreement if the individual values are within +/-15% of the mean value. If this condition is not met, a two-sigma range is established for each of the results, which are in agreement if the two ranges overlap.
Table I summarized the types of media submitted as part of the Blind Duplicate Program by each participant for a total of 12 paired samples.
Table 2 presents the results of the Blind Duplicate Program by analysis type for each participating company. For the second half of 2004 program, 99.6% of the paired measurements met the acceptance criteria as specified in Reference 1. The number of paired measurements falling outside the acceptance criteria is listed before the dash (JI in each company column. For example, the number 112 should be interpreted as I paired measurements out of 2 falling outside the acceptance criteria. Totals are presented for each participating company as well as for the entire program.

Introduction:==
Framatome ANO, Inc., the REMP analytical laboratory, notified Detroit Edison that cobalt-60 was detected in the API-1 third quarter 2004 particulate composite air sample. API-I is located in the community of Estral Beach, NE Sector (390), approximately 1.4 miles from the Fermi 2 reactor. The laboratory was instructed to recount the sample on different equipment to confirm the activity. The sample was recounted and the count confirmed the cobalt-60 activity.
Cobalt-60 is a long lived neutron activated isotope with a half-life of 5.27 years. Cobalt-60 is periodically detected in Fermi 2 airborne effluents. In accordance with procedure 62.000.203, REMP Results Analysis - Review and Action, Section 3.3.3, if isotopes related to plant effluents are detected in environmental sample media, an investigation in the form of a situational surveillance must be initiated. The following discussion is the investigation into cobalt-60 activity detected in the third quarter particulate composite air sample of API-1.
Investigation:
The laboratory was instructed to "decomposite" the weekly air samples to determine which week the activity had been deposited. The lab counted each filter individually and determined that the filter was from the sampling period beginning on August 24, 2004. However, due to an electrical storm, API-I only operated for 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> before loosing power because of a blown fuse.
Normally, a sample with this low of a volume is considered not representative and not sent to the laboratory for analysis. The individual analysis showed activity not only for cobalt-60, but also for manganese-54 at concentrations of 3.9E-1 pCi/cubic meter and 6.8E-2 pCi/cubic meter respectively. To determine if the activity detected at API-I originated from Fermi 2's effluents, two sources of data were reviewed, effluent release data and meteorological data.
Review of the effluent data for the time period of August 24 to August 31, 2004 showed no detectable activity for cobalt-60 or manganese-54. To determine what activity would had to have been released during the sampling period, to produce the measured concentrations at API-1, the following calculation was used:
Activity Released = Activity Concentration at Sampler Dispersion Factor (XIQ)
The following assumptions and values were used to perform the calculations:
Activity concentrations detected at API-I = 3.90E-1 pCi/cubic meter Co-60 and 6.80E-2 pCi/cubic meter Mn-54.
X/Q = 1.25E-6 sec/cubic meter.
Sampling Period = 9.23E+4 seconds (25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> and 39 minutes).

Conclusion:==
After evaluating the information from the investigation, it was determined that the activity detected by the laboratory in the third quarter composite air sample of API-I was not a result of Fermi 2 airborne effluents. This determination was based on the following reasons:
- 1. After the sample was "decomposited" to determine the week in which the activity was deposited, no cobalt-60 or manganese-54 activity was detected in the weekly SPING effluent sample.
- 2. The amount of activity that would had to have been released to produce the concentrations of cobalt-60 and manganese-54 at API-I was calculated to be 28.8 mCi and 5.02 mCi respectively. This amount of activity is greater than 100 times the total activity released in 2004. The total cobalt-60 activity released was 0.12 mCi and the total manganese-54 released was 0.04 mCi for 2004.
- 3. The meteorological data indicated the wind was not blowing in the direction of API-I during the sampling period.
The most probable source of the cobalt-60 and manganese-54 on the air sample media is from cross-contamination. When the air samples are collected in the field, they are sealed in petri dishes at the sample location and shipped to the lab from Warehouse B. Because the samples are sealed at the sampling location, it is highly unlikely they could become cross-contaminated during packaging and shipping. The air sample was most likely accidentally cross-contaminated at the laboratory.
