Revisions 1, 2, and 3 to the LTP have been previously submitted to the NRC under separate transmittals. The L TP revision incorporates the deletion of maintaining worker Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) to less than 1 Rem/year in Chapter 1, changes to the License Termination Characterization data, hydrogeological discussion, and background due to fallout in Chapter 2, updated Table of Contents for Chapter 2, and correction to Table 5-11 and Section 5.4.2.5.1.
USNRC NRC-11-0036 Page 2 The Chapter 1 revision change removing the 1 Rem/year TEDE criteria does not affect the commitment to maintain worker TEDE "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA). The level of specificity of 1 Rem/year does not allow for special circumstances where dose extensions are necessary to complete decommissioning work; therefore the statement pertaining to worker TEDE of less than 1 Rem/year and the reference to Fermi 2 MRP03, "Personnel Radiation Monitoring" procedure will be deleted.
The revision to Chapter 2 of the LTP incorporates changes to the License Termination Characterization data to incorporate updated instrument efficiencies calculated since the initial characterization was performed using the methodology in NUREG-1507 (Reference 3) for calculating surface beta activity. The revision addresses the efficiency calculation converting counts per minute (cpm) to disintegrations per minute (dpm).
Characterization data was reported by Final Status Survey instrumentation in counts per minute and remains unchanged.
Section 2.2, "Hydrogeological Investigations" is revised to incorporate the updated Site Conceptual Groundwater Model and additional information being separately submitted to the NRC.
Section 2.3.4, "Ambient and Background" is being revised to add information from the National Council on Radiation Protection & Measurements (NCRP) report on Cs-137 deposition from fallout and expected deposition in this region of the country.
References to the NCRP report and the updated Site Conceptual Model are being added to Section 2.6 of the LTP.
A typographical error was corrected on page 2-28 and the Table of Contents in Section 2 was revised to reflect corrected page numbers.
A revision to Chapter 5 corrects Table 5-11 source-to-detector distance from inches to centimeters in accordance with NUREG-1507 Table 4.5, "Source-to-Detector Distance Effects for P Emitters" and Table 4.6, "Source-to-Detector Distance Effects for a Emitters". Although the proposed revision reflects distances measured in centimeters, the correct stand-off distances were used in calculating efficiencies for Characterization and Final Status Survey data. The revision to Chapter 5, Section 5.4.2.5.1 changes the detector-to-ground distance for SPA-3 open land scans from within 2.5 to 5 centimeters to -6 cm or 2.5 in. to more accurately reflect the specifications in MARSSIM, Section 6.4.2.1.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 0 Chapter 1 General Information March 2009 Pointe Mouillee State Game Area is a 4,000 acre spit of land approximately 4 miles northeast of the Fermi 1 site at the northwest comer of Lake Erie, which jets into Lake Erie near the Huron River. It is owned by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Pointe Mouillee is one of the largest fresh water marsh restoration projects in the world, consisting of wetlands, diked marshes and river bayous. Most of Pointe Mouillee is open to public hunting.
Wm. C. Sterling State Park, the only Michigan state park on Lake Erie, consists of 1,300 acres of state-owned lands with recreational swimming, fishing, camping, hiking and wildlife viewing. Sterling State Park is approximately 5.2 miles southwest of the Fermi 1 site on Brest Bay. The bay sits just north of where the Raisin River spills into Lake Erie. The park is situated in Monroe County just south of Detroit Beach/Sandy Creek and north of the city of Monroe.
Bodies of Water: The Fermi 1 site sits on the western shore of Lake Erie. Lake Erie consists of 9,910 square miles of water surface area, 871 miles of shoreline.
Lake Erie provides sport fishing, recreational boating, swimming, water skiing and scuba diving for the local and surrounding population. Lake Erie empties into the Niagara River and the Welland Canal.
Farms: Monroe County has an area of about 550 square miles of which approximately 70% is farmland. The majority of crops grown on the farms in the area are corn, winter wheat and soybeans.
Water Supplies: Currently potable water is supplied to the Fermi 1 complex from the Frenchtown public water supply. Chapter 8 of the LTP discusses water use and potential impact of decommissioning on water quality. Wells in the vicinity of EF1 are depicted in Figure 1-3.
Population: Monroe County, in which Fermi 1 is located, extends about 10 miles north, 25 miles west, and 20 miles south-west of the site and has a population of about 146,000. The only substantially populated communities within a 10 mile radius are Newport, which lies within Berlin Township, located approximately 3.5 miles away with a population of about 11,000 and Monroe (consisting of Frenchtown Township, the City of Monroe and Monroe Township) located approximately 8 miles away with a population of about 54,800. The closest residence to EF1 is located approximately 0.71 mile in a straight line.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 1.4 Decommissioning Approach 1.4.1 Overview The objective of decommissioning EF1 is to reduce the level of residual radioactivity to levels that permit unrestricted use of the site and allow for the termination of the 10 CFR Part 50 license. The EF1 license will be terminated with the buildings remaining. Decommissioning involves the systematic removal of Systems, Structures and Components that comprise the radioactive portions of the site. DTE conducts decommissioning activities in accordance with the EF1 10 CFR Part 50 license, approved work requests, and approved procedures.
Contaminated material may be released as non-contaminated material after decontamination, shipped to a licensed offsite processor for disposition, or shipped to an offsite low-level waste (LLW) disposal site (i.e., Clive Utah site).
Qualified workers package LLW for transport and disposal in accordance with applicable NRC and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulatory requirements. EF1 continues to implement its Radiological Controls Program.
The objectives of the Radiological Controls Program are to control radiation hazards, avoid accidental radiation exposures and maintain doses to workers and the public As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). The philosophies, policies, and objectives of the Radiological Controls Program are based on federal regulations and associated regulatory guidance. EF1's ALARA policy maintains management's commitment to control exposures to workers and the public ALARA. This commitment is contained in the F1 SAR and is implemented by plant administrative procedures and Radiation Protection Department implementing procedures.
The integrated approach to decommissioning includes support from DTE employees and outside contractors, as required, to complete the project. The Decommissioning organization provides project management and has developed administrative work controls to implement decommissioning activities. The use of trained individuals, adherence to approved procedures and established institutional controls, will ensure that the risk to the public is minimal and risk to worker health and safety is minimized. Risks associated with the transportation of LLW are also minimal.
The environmental assessment, discussed in Chapter 8 of this LTP, determined that the environmental effects from decommissioning of EF1 are minimal, and there are no adverse effects outside the bounds ofNUREG-0586 "Final Generic 1-8 Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Chapter 2 Site Characterization 1.4 Decommissioning Approach 1.4.1 Overview Revision 4 June 2011 The objective of decommissioning EF1 is to reduce the level of residual radioactivity to levels that permit unrestricted use ofthe site and allow for the termination of the 10CFR Part 50 license.

Detroit Edison (DECo) has conducted the HSA of its Fermi 1 (EF1) site in accordance with the guidance of NUREG-1575, "Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM)," in support of the ultimate decommissioning and license termination of the facility. The HSA formally began in 2007, following several preliminary assessments of the impact of facility operations on the remediation required prior to the performance of the Final Status Survey(s) (FSS). These preliminary surveys were conducted beginning in 1997 with the meeting of previous employees followed by another meeting in 2002. An initial characterization survey was performed in 2004. The HSA was formally compiled in 2008. The purpose of the HSA is to document a comprehensive investigation identifying, collecting, organizing and evaluating historical information relevant to the EF1 site. The HSA focuses on open land areas and those structures that will remain at the time of final status survey.
The HSA consisted of a review of:
- License and Technical Specifications
> Technical Specification Changes
> License Amendments and Revisions
> Fermi 1 Manual
> F1SAR
- Original Plant Design
> Function and purpose of systems and structures
> Plant operating parameters

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 0 Chapter 2 Site Characterization May 2009 2.1.8.2 SGB Steam Generator Building The Steam Generator Building is located south of the Reactor Building and north of the Detroit Edison turbine structure. The building housed the steam generators, secondary sodium pumps and piping components of the secondary coolant system. The equipment components were located at the operating floor at elevation 590'-0". The basement of the building housed the storage tanks and miscellaneous piping and equipment components of the Secondary Sodium Services System. The structure and equipment components were supported through a system of structural steel columns to a reinforced concrete base slab resting on bedrock. The basement floor of the building is divided into five sectors. An east-west concrete block firewall was installed the full length of the building extending between the basement floor and the operating floor. The remaining structure is of conventional design, that is, steel and corrugated asbestos walls.
Modes and vectors for transmigration of contaminants include:
- Movement or removal of radioactive material for shipment.
- Movement into and out of the RRA of personnel and equipment at the RRA entrance from the Steam Generator Building.
Survey area SGB-01 has an area footprint of approximately 1527 square meters.
Characterization data from past surveys proved to be insufficient for FSS planning activities.
A Characterization effort was implemented on August 21, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in SGB-01. An ambient correction 1 was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations on each level and the Mean of those data was calculated for each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no smear result greater than MDA.
Table 2-5 represents the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background. Gamma scans were performed in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated greater than background.
SAmbient readings were taken in structures to evaluate the gamma influence of the operation of Fermi 2 on the readings taken at EF1. A discussion of the methodology for taking the ambient readings is found in Section 2.3.4 2-19 Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Chapter 2 Site Characterization 2.1.8.2 SGB Steam Generator Building Revision 0 May 2009 The Steam Generator Building is located south of the Reactor Building and north of the Detroit Edison turbine structure.

III Migration of contamination from the radwaste storage area on the 3 rd level of the Turbine Building to the Control Building.
Survey area CTB-01 has an area footprint of approximately 2,075 square meters.
Characterization data from past surveys proved to be insufficient for FSS planning activities. A Characterization effort was implemented on August 11,2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in CTB-O 1. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations on each floor and the Mean of those data was calculated. Table 2-6 represents the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location.
Smears indicated no smear result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location.
No beta scan indicated* greater than background. Gamma scans were performed in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated greater than background.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 0 Chapter 2 Site Characterization May 2009 Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities. A Characterization effort was implemented on October 28, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in OFB-01. This characterization was performed to the rigors of FSS so the data could be utilized for survey area release if the result supported the release. An ambient measurement was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations on each floor and five locations on the roof; and the Mean of those data was calculated. Tables 2-9 and 2-10 represent the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location.
Smear results indicated no smear result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were taken at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated results greater than background. Gamma scans were taken in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated results greater than background.

NOL-01 lies entirely within the open land Class 3 survey area OOL-01. Survey Area NOL-01 is designated a Class 2 area acting as a buffer between the Class 1 and Class 3 areas.
Subsurface systems that traverse or connect within NOL-01 include:
- Health Physics/Chemistry Building drain system
- Underground vent ducts
- Waste gas lines
- Sump pump system Survey area NOL-01 represents the secondary travel path for personnel and equipment entering and leaving EF1. NOL-01 included the primary travel path for personnel and equipment until approximately 10 years ago when the existing path was created. Systems present in survey area NOL-01 that may contain residual radioactivity are the Health Physics/Chemistry Building waste discharge, vent lines, gas lines and the FARB liquid discharge line. Contamination of survey area NOL-01 may have resulted from traffic of contaminated personnel, equipment and material.
Events and activities that may have contaminated survey area NOL-01 include:
- Leak in Waste Gas drain line (8/01/67).
o Leak in Waste Gas discharge line (4/30/68).
- Fire in the Reactor Building Basement (5/20/08).
Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities. Few soil samples had been taken in this survey area and no samples were analyzed for HTD radionuclides.
Characterization plan EF1-CHAR-NOL-01 was implemented on June 25, 2008. Seventeen samples were collected with two split samples sent to an off-site lab to be analyzed for HTD radionuclides. Table 2-11 represents the sample results for NOL-01. Because of ambient levels associated with the operation of Fermi 2, gamma scans were not performed in survey area NOL-01 at the time of the characterization survey.

Additional characterization was performed in September through October of 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements on the operating floor (590' elevation) of RXB-01. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations around the inner annulus and operating floor (on the floor and up to 6 feet on the walls) and the Mean of those data was calculated. Table 2-12 provides a summary of the survey results for the fixed-point readings taken on the floors and walls during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no smear result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background.
Gamma scans were performed in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated results greater. than background.

Additional characterization was perfonned in September through October of 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements on the operating floor (590' elevation) ofRXB-Ol. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations around the inner annulus and operating floor (on the floor and up to 6 feet on the walls) and the Mean of those data was calculated. Table 2-12 provides a summary of the survey results for the fixed-point readings taken on the floors and walls during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no smear result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were perfonned at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background.
Gamma scans were perfonned in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated results greater than background.

The fixed-point readings on the walls 6' and above on the 590' elevation were at approximately ambient levels and therefore are classified as Class 2 areas. Characterization survey performed in the reactor annulus provided data at approximately ambient levels. Therefore, the results show the annulus was minimally impacted during operations and decommissioning activities. The reactor building 552' annulus is classified as a Class 3 area.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 Based upon the information reviewed, personnel interviews and data acquired during characterization, the classifications of FRB-01 are as follows:
- 1. The floor and walls of the decay and cut-up pools are Class 1 areas.
- 2. The floors, walls and ceiling of the transfer tank room and steam cleaning chamber are Class 1 areas.
- 3. The floors and walls, up to a height of 6 feet, in all other areas of FRB-01 are Class 1 areas.
- 4. The walls greater than 6 feet in the areas referenced in #3 are Class 2 areas.
2.1.8.9 TRW Trestle way The trestle way is located to the north and adjacent to the Reactor Building and functioned as a connection between the Reactor Building and the FARB. The substructure consists of reinforced concrete. The superstructure consists of structural steel with corrugated asbestos siding and a corrugated steel roof. The fuel transport machine, or cask car, unloaded irradiated fuel from the reactor via the transfer rotor, transported the irradiated fuel in finned pots from the Reactor Building to the FARB via the trestle way and unloaded the pots into the transfer tank rotor.
Modes and vectors for transmigration of contaminants include:
- Transport of radioactive material associated with decommissioning of the trestle way and adjacent buildings.
- Sodium fire that occurred on May 2 0 th 2008 in the basement of the Reactor Building.
- Minor leaks in the Trestle way which occurred at unknown dates during operation.
Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities.
A Characterization effort was implemented on September 15, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in TRW-01. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations in the Trestle way, and the Mean of the data was calculated.
Table 2-15 represents the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no result greater than MDA.
One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background. Gamma scans were performed in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan 2-36 Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Chapter 2 Site Characterization Revision 4 June 2011 Based upon the infOlmation reviewed, personnel interviews and data acquired during characterization, the classifications of FRB-O 1 are as follows:

2.l.8.10 NAB-O 1 - Sodium Building The'Sodium Building is adjacent to the Reactor Building and is connected by an underground concrete tunnel. The Sodium Building housed the equipment used for storing and purifying the primary sodium. The Sodium Building, Waste Gas Building and the Inert Gas Building form one structural complex. The Sodium Building is divided into four sections:
- 1. The primary sodium storage tanle room is a concrete structure comprised of 30 inch thick cast concrete walls and a 30 inch thick combination pre-cast and poured concrete roof. The room contains the three 15,000 gallon primary sodium storage tanles.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 0 Chapter 2 Site Characterization May 2009
- 2. The cold trap room has 6-foot thick external concrete walls as well as a 6-foot thick concrete ceiling. Additionally, the cell has a 4-foot thick internal wall separating it from the storage tank room. This room contained the equipment necessary to determine and maintain the purity of the primary sodium.
- 3. The sodium-potassium (NaK) room is comprised of reinforced concrete floor, walls and ceiling and access is provided via a steel door located in the west wall of the room and a stairway on the east side. The NaK room contained the ventilation equipment and the air-to-NaK heat exchanger equipment for the cold trap.
- 4. The valve control room occupies the second story region of the Sodium Building and is constructed of concrete block walls and a steel roof deck structure. The valve control room contained the sodium service hand wheels and motors for the valves, electric panels supporting the induction heating for the piping, and the control panel.
Additionally, the mezzanine level and secondary portion of the Inert Gas Building are covered in this section since they are open to the Sodium Building areas and are separate from the Inert Gas Tank Room Survey area NAB-01 has an area footprint of approximately 1,116 square meters.
Modes and vectors for transmigration of contaminants include:
- Transport of radioactive material associated with decommissioning of the Sodium Building.
- Processing activities performed in the cold trap room.
Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities.
A Characterization effort was implemented on September 23, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in NAB-01. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations in each room and the Mean of those data was calculated.
Tables 2-16 and 2-17 represent the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background. Gamma scans were performed in the general areas (except 2-38 Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Chapter 2 Site Characterization Revision 0 May 2009

2.1.8.12 NAT Sodium Tunnel The Sodium Tunnel consists of a subsurface reinforced concrete structure lined with a /4" thick carbon steel plate. The tunnel runs from the northwest corner of the Reactor Building annulus to the Cold Trap Room of the Sodium Building. The structure contained some of the primary sodium service system piping and was heated by a 60 cycle induction heating system replacing heat losses when the piping was at 400 degrees Fahrenheit with a 100 degree Fahrenheit ambient temperature. Access to this tunnel is via one of two manholes located between the Cold Trap Room and the Trestleway.
The area of the footprint of NAT-01 is approximately 50 square meters.
Modes and vectors for transmigration of contaminants include:
- Any contamination encountered during the removal or modification of piping within NAT-01.
Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities.
A Characterization effort was implemented on October 6, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in NAT-01. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations in the sodium tunnel and the Mean of those data was calculated. Table 2-19 represent the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort. Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no result greater than MDA. One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background. Gamma. scans were performed in the general areas as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated results greater than background.

The Inert Gas Building has a first story of concrete construction and a second story of cinder block construction located immediately adjacent to the Sodium Service Building valve room. The Inert Gas Tunnel is part of this Survey Area.
The area of the footprint of IGB-01 (including the tunnel) is approximately 466 square meters.
Modes and vectors for transmigration of contaminants include:
SAny contamination encountered during the removal of piping and components within IGB-01.
Characterization data from past surveys proved insufficient for FSS planning activities.
A Characterization effort was implemented on October 7, 2008 to include smears, scans and fixed-point measurements in IGB-01. An ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations in the tank room and the Mean of those data was calculated.
Additionally, an ambient correction was achieved by taking shielded readings at five locations inside the tunnel and the Mean of those data was calculated. Table 2-24 represent the results of the fixed-point readings taken on the floors, walls and ceiling during this survey effort.
Smears were taken at each fixed-point location. Smears indicated no result greater than background. One-square meter beta scans were performed at each fixed-point location. No beta scan indicated greater than background. Gamma scans were performed in general areas (with the exception of the tunnel areas where gamma scans were inaccessible) as well as locations where cracks and wall-to-floor junctures were present. No gamma scan indicated results greater than background.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 were surveyed and found to have no plant related activity; therefore these systems are classified as non-impacted and require no further survey effort. Since there is little evidence to suggest that plant-related activity is present in the interior areas of the structures above 6 feet in height (reinforced by the historical analysis and characterization surveys), the MARSSIM classification of these areas will be less restrictive.
2.1.10 HSA Conclusions The EF1 HSA provides sufficient evidence to support an Impacted Area classification for all structures and open land areas. EF1 ancillary systems shall be classified as Non-Impacted Areas and excluded from further investigation and survey actions. Table 2-3 summarizes the classifications for each area.

2.2.1 Methods From November 2003 through December 2006, Golder Associates Inc. (Golder) and the Detroit Edison Company conducted a groundwater characterization program to test for possible historical radiological contamination in groundwater within Areas of Concern (AOC) at EF1. The characterization efforts included the following:
- installation of monitor wells;
- measurement of the hydraulic conductivity of the fill and natural geologic Sformations in which the monitor wells are set; measurements of groundwater elevations, and
- collection and analysis of groundwater samples for possible radionuclides of concern.
The work was performed in accordance with the "Work Plan for Groundwater Characterization", through Revision 2, August 2005 (Golder, 2005). The work plan specifies the following:
- Areas of Concern (AOC) with respect to possible historical releases of radioactive fluids and other possible contaminants to the subsurface based on former EF1 operations and waste routing systems.

- 1. The pre-construction geological profile at EF1 consists of the following unconsolidated native sediments and the bedrock sequence:
o 575 feet datum to 568 feet datum (0 -7 feet): Soft black muck and peat.
- 568 feet datum to 563 feet datum (7 - 12 feet): Glaciolacustrine laminated gray clay and silt, with traces of humus (Glacial Lake Clay).
- 563 feet datum to 557 feet datum (12 - 18 feet): Hard gray to yellowish sandy clay (Glacial Till).
- < 557 feet datum (>18 feet): Dolomitic bedrock of the Bass Islands Group.
During construction of the reactor building in 1956, approximately 27 feet of clay and crushed stone fill was added to the top of the bedrock in order to bring the ground up to elevation of near 590 feet MSL.
Outside the Controlled Area, approximately 10 feet of fill was added, bringing the existing ground elevation up to approximately 583.5 feet.

- 2. Outside the major building structures, the current geologic units at the Station, in descending order, are approximately as follows:
- 586 to 566 feet datum: Clay Fill
- 566 to 563 feet datum: Glacial Lake Clay
- 563 to 557 feet datum: Glacial Till
- < 557 feet datum: Dolomite bedrock (Bass Islands Group)
- 3. Immediately around major Station structures, more Permeable Fill is present. Fermi 1 drawings indicate the designed placement of Permeable Fill materials, including sand and crushed stone, from the surface to depths below the top of bedrock adjacent to some of the deeper structures such as the FARB and Reactor Building.
- 4. Groundwater elevations (and conversely, the periodic occurrence of dry wells) in the shallow wells indicate that the groundwater table in the shallow zone is perched on top of the clay fill. As such, continuous lateral flow does not occur in the shallow zone. Overall, the shallow zone groundwater elevations are higher than Lake Erie's and the site bedrock wells' water levels, indicating that the potential is for shallow groundwater to slowly penetrate downward.
- 5. The flow of groundwater is primarily downward percolation in the permeable fill surrounding Station structures.
- 6. Groundwater flow in the bedrock changes. It varies from being towards the south-south-east to being towards the south-south-west quadrant as described in Reference 2.6.17.
2.2.3 Groundwater Analytical Results
- 1. Based on a review of radionuclide concentrations detected in water samples collected at sumps, monitoring wells and background wells, impacts from Station operations are not likely present in waters beneath the Station.
- 2. Three intermediate wells and two additional deep wells were installed in 2011 to obtain additional data, since little monitoring was performed to the south-southwest of the facility or in the intermediate zone (e.g., Glacial Till or Glacial Lake Clay). Initial onsite laboratory analysis of new samples did not detect plant isotopes.

- 2. Outside the major building structures, the CUlTent geologic units at the Station, in descending order, are approximately as follows:
586 to 566 feet datum: Clay Fill III 566 to 563 feet datum: Glacial Lake Clay CD 563 to 557 feet datum: Glacial Till III
< 557 feet datum: Dolomite bedrock (Bass Islands Group)
- 3. Immediately around major Station structures, more Permeable Fill is present.. Fermi 1 drawings indicate the designed placement of Permeable Fill materials, including sand and crushed stone, from the surface to depths below the top of bedrock adjacent to some of the deeper structures such as the F ARB and Reactor Building.
- 4. Groundwater elevations (and conversely, the periodic OCCUlTence of dry wells) in the shallow wells indicate that the groundwater table in the shallow zone is perched on top of the clay fill. As such, continuous lateral flow does not occur in the shallow zone. Overall, the shallow zone groundwater elevations are higher than Lake Erie's and the site bedrock wells' water levels, indicating that the potential is for shallow groundwater to slowly penetrate downward.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 2.3 Site Characterization Survey 2.3.1 Initial Characterization Surveys In support of the decommissioning activities at the Fermi 1 facility, radiological characterization surveys were contracted for selected areas in and around the facility, and performed during the months of October and November 2004. The purposes of these surveys were as follows:
a) evaluating the increase in ambient background radiation levels caused by Fermi 2 power operation and the resulting impact on detection levels and ability for performing decommissioning survey with Fermi 2 in operation, and b) characterizing radiological conditions for selected areas in and around Fermi 1 that were more likely to exhibit little to no contamination, commonly referred to as non-impacted or Class 3 MARSSIM areas.
An initial set of surveys were performed at Fermi 1 in late October with Fermi 2 at essentially full power operations. This set of data was to baseline the levels that reflected the influence from Fermi 2, predominantly from the 16N sky shine component. Following the Fermi 2 shutdown on November 6, 2004, follow-up surveys were performed for the same areas. These two data sets - one reflecting the impact from Fermi 2 operations and the second without - provide meaningful data for evaluating the overall impact that the increase in ambient radiation levels from Fermi 2 operations may have on performing the decommissioning surveys at Fermi 1. The type of surveys performed were those typical for a decommissioning project. Surface beta scans were performed for floor and roof areas. These scans predominantly examine surface contamination (within top few mm of the surface). Where volumetric contamination is the primary source of interest (such as top 15 cm for surface soil contamination), gamma walkover scans were performed. Outside grassy and gravel areas were surveyed for gamma radiation levels.
The areas included in the surveys were:
o Fuel and Repair Building (FARB) roofs (three total, beta surface scans),
- Steam Generator Building roof (beta surface scans)

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 2.3.2.3 Characterization Survey Design The EF1 FSS Engineer designed the characterization surveys based on the Site Characterization Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) (see Appendix 2-B for the survey maps and results). Instrumentation used was identical to that which is planned to be used during FSS with similar MDCs. Gas proportional detectors were used for most of the surface measurements and scans. The detectors have a MylarTM window which is sensitive to the average beta energy emitted from the radionuclide mixture found in the various media. Additionally, volumetric samples of soil and concrete were also collected and counted using HPGe detectors with MDCs set at 10% of the DCGLs. Nal detectors were used to perform scans and direct measurements of soil, asphalt and some concrete areas. These surveys were used to identify regions of potentially contaminated soil and surfaces.
The actual dispositioning of systems at EF1 occurs on a case-by-case basis, with additional data collected when necessary during dismantlement activities to support the dispositioning decision-making.
This method of real-time waste management has proven to be cost-effective, much more so at EF1 than if an extensive characterization effort had been undertaken prior to beginning dismantlement. The decision was also made to begin the characterization effort to support the license termination process (remediation and eventually Final Status Survey) when areas were more accessible and could be directly surveyed (after system removal). Remediation and dismantlement tasks are scheduled and reviewed by EF1 personnel. Current and past radiological conditions that could affect the dismantlement or remediation processes are examined. Additionally, the area physical conditions that have or could have been affected radiologically are examined. Instructions and survey objectives are provided for adequate documentation of the characterization surveys and performance of dismantlement activities. The process data quality objectives include but are not limited to, instructions that delineate the types of surveys, samples and action levels for the tasks, and instructions and guidance for the remediation or dismantlement activities.
2.3.2.4 Instrument Selection, Use and Minimum Detectable Concentrations (MDCs)
Instrumentation used for characterization surveys were the same type that are planned to be used for FSS. Count times and scan rates were the same as those that will be used during FSS thus ensuring adequate MDCs. Table 2-27 lists the types of instruments that were used for characterization surveys along with the MDCs achieved. Table 2-28 provides the vendor laboratory minimum detectable activity (MDA) values.

Fermi 1 License Termination Plan Revision 4 Chapter 2 Site Characterization June 2011 2.3.2.5 Quality Assurance Instrumentation used for characterization surveys was calibrated by an off-site vendor using NIST-traceable sources of energies similar to those emitted by the nuclide fractions for the various media surveyed.
Instrumentation was source checked before and after survey measurements were made in accordance with approved site procedures.
The FSS Engineer, prior to accepting the data for characterization, evaluated instruments not passing a source check. Laboratory instruments were calibrated following the approved Fermi 2 Radiation Protection procedures. A fraction of the volumetric samples were collected as split samples for quality control purposes. 10% of the volumetric samples were designated as recounts. Split sampling and sample recounts were in accordance with EF1 procedure MEF201, "Final Status Survey Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP)."
2.3.2.6 Data Quality Objectives Data Quality Objectives (DQOs) were implemented for Characterization surveys in a similar manner as anticipated for Final Status Surveys, however, the goal of the characterization is contamination quantification and delineation of the nuclide suite, whereas the FSS goal is comparison of data against the Null Hypothesis. Characterization surveys were designed to gather the appropriate data using the DQO process as outlined in MARSSIM, Appendix D. The seven steps in the DQO development process are:
- 1) State the problem,
- 2) Identify the decision,
- 3) Identify inputs to the decision,
- 4) Define the study boundaries,
- 5) Develop a decision rule,
- 6) Specify limits on decision errors, and
- 7) Optimize the design for obtaining data.
The DQOs for site characterization included identifying the types and quantities of media to collect. Since the scenarios used for dose modeling were the Building Occupancy and Resident Farmer scenarios, sample collection was concentrated on structure materials and surrounding soils. Building concrete was sampled by obtaining volumetric samples (additional volumetric sampling will be performed when the areas of interest become available). Soils were also sampled volumetrically. Enough measurements (typically 10 to 15 measurements per area) were obtained to achieve statistically significant results so that the mean and maximum activity as well as the sample standard deviation could be determined. Direct measurements and scans of concrete surfaces were also made using the same instruments and MDCs as those that are planned to be used for FSS.

The DQOs for site characterization included identifying the types and quantities of media to collect. Since the scenarios used for dose modeling were the Building Occupancy and Resident Farmer scenarios, sample collection was concentrated on structure materials and surrounding soils. Building concrete was sampled by obtaining volumetric samples (additional volumetric sampling will be performed when the areas of interest become available). Soils were also sampled volumetrically. Enough measurements (typically 10 to 15 measurements per area) were obtained to achieve statistically significant results so that the mean and maximum activity as well as the sample standard deviation could be determined. Direct measurements and scans of concrete surfaces were also made using the same instruments and MDCs as those that are planned to be used for FSS. A percentage of samples of each 2-60

2.3.3 Survey Findings and Results Survey categories consist of surfaces, structures and environs present at EF1.
Several areas of the site were specifically targeted for detailed sampling and surveys. The areas were either'known or suspected to have been contaminated by plant operations or decommissioning. The remainder of the site received general sampling and surveys to determine whether structures or soils were contaminated and to what extent. Appendix 2-B illustrates the survey areas and locations described in this chapter.
2.3.3.1 Surfaces, Structures and Soils Surfaces and structures include building interiors and exteriors of the associated structures and if applicable, the exterior surfaces of systems or components because these surfaces have the same potential for residual levels of radioactive material as the building surfaces in which they are located. Land areas were surveyed and sampled to detect the presence and extent of soil contamination.
- Over 1332 beta scan and direct measurements have been taken in EF1 during the 2008 characterization survey.
- 40 soil samples were taken from open land areas within and outside of the EF1 Controlled Area. Five of these samples were sent off-site to a laboratory for analysis of HTD radionuclides.
- A concrete sample taken from the inner Biowall concrete was sent off-site for analysis of HTD nuclides as well as counted on site for activation.
All samples submitted to the vendor laboratory were analyzed for the entire nuclide suite. The nuclide suite includes those nuclides found in Chapter 6 of this LTP.
Groundwater analysis results from the site monitoring wells were provided in Section 2.2.4.
2.3.3.2 Ancillary Systems Due to the nature of a Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) ancillary systems such as the feedwater, condensate, steam, and lubricating oil systems are not expected to be impacted by plant operations.

2.3.4 Ambient and Background The National Council on Radiation Protection & Measurements (NCRP) addresses deposition of Cs-137 from fallout in Reference 2.6.16, Section 3.2.
Using the values in the NCRP report, with conservative assumptions, the expected mean deposition of Cs-137 in this region of the country is 0.35 pCi/g to 1.2 pCi/g, depending on depth of the sample.
Additionally, Big Rock Point (BRP) performed a study in northern Michigan which would be reasonably representative of the levels found at EF1. As a result of the 2000 BRP study, Cs-137 average activity 0.48 pCi/g to 0.54 pCi/g with a log-normal standard deviation of 0.79 pCi/g would be expected in Michigan.
Adjusting the reported data for radioactive decay to 2008 results in current background values of 0.39 pCi/g to 0.44 pCi/g.
Soil samples collected and analyzed during site characterization within or adjacent to the Controlled Area showed a mean Cs-137 activity 0.11 pCi/g and a maximum Cs-137 activity 0.45 pCi/g. For purposes of decommissioning, background Cs-137 activities in soil should be considered to be approximately 0.39 pCi/g to 1.2 pCi/g.
Ambient radiation levels are present at EF1 due to the operation of Fermi 2. As can be seen by the data comparison shown in section 2.3.1, the ambient influence due to Fermi 2 operation can contribute significantly to the readings taken at EF1.
Readings within the interior of buildings are not impacted as significantly as the reading taken exterior to the structures. As a result of this ambient contribution from Fermi 2 operation, beta scans and fixed-point measurements will be compensated by the use of ambient correction. A series of shielded beta readings will be taken at various locations within a room or building and the mean value will be subtracted from the unshielded readings taken. For gamma scans (with SPA-3 sodium iodide detector), portable shielding or other methods of reducing the ambient levels will be utilized as needed. Ambient gamma radiation from the operation of Fermi 2 and the methodology for the ambient correction are further explained in Section 5.4.3.1 of this LTP.

2.4 Continuing Characterization As previously stated, characterization data will be collected as necessary throughout the project.

The thickness of the layer of building surface to be removed as a sample should be consistent with the development of the EF1 site model and the DCGLs (i.e. <10mm in depth).
5.4.2.5 Soils Soil will receive scan surveys at the coverage level described in Table 5-4 and volumetric samples will be taken at designated locations. Surface soil samples will normally be taken at a depth of 0 to 15 cm. Samples will be collected and prepared in accordance with approved procedures.
5.4.2.5.1 Scans Open land areas are scanned for gamma emitting nuclides. The gamma emitters are used as surrogates for the HTD radionuclides. Sodium iodide detectors are typically used for scanning. For detectors such as the SPA-3, the detector is held close to the ground surface (-6 cm or 2.5 in.) and is moved at a speed of 0.5 m/sec, traversing each square meter 3 times. The area covered by scan measurements is based on the survey unit classification as described in Section 5.3.2.
5.4.2.5.2 Volumetric Samples Soil materials are analyzed by gamma spectroscopy. Soil samples of approximately 1,500 grams are normally collected from the surface layer (top 15 cm). Sample preparation includes removing extraneous material, homogenizing, and drying the soil for gamma isotopic analysis. Separate containers are used for each sample and each container is moved through the analysis process following site procedures.
Samples are split when required by the applicable quality control procedures. If a survey area has already been excavated and remediated to the soil DCGL, this area will be treated as surface soil, and the FSS will be performed on the excavated area. Soil samples will be collected to depths at which there is high confidence that deeper samples will not result in higher concentrations. Alternatively, a sodium-iodide detector of sufficient sensitivity to detect DCGL concentrations may be utilized to identify the presence or absence of subsurface contamination, and the extent of such contamination.

All subsurface sampling will be performed in accordance with the guidance in Section G.2.1 of NUREG-1757, Volume 2. The sample size for subsurface samples will be determined using the same methods described for surface soil. Per NUREG-1757, Volume 2, scanning is not applicable to subsurface areas; however, EF1 Final Status Surveys will employ scanning techniques commensurate with the survey unit classification. Scanning subsurface soils, where accessible, as an excavated surface, will demonstrate compliance with site release criteria.
5.4.3 Specific Survey Area Considerations 5.4.3.1 Pavement-Covered Areas Survey of paved areas will be required along the roadways providing ingress and egress to EF1 (e.g. FARB, west yard entrance, turbine building entrance, etc.). The survey design of paved areas will be based on soil survey unit sizes since they are outdoor areas where the exposure scenario is most similar to direct radiation from surface soil. The applicable DCGL will be the soil DCGL. Scan and static gamma and beta-gamma surveys are determined by the survey unit design. Samples will be obtained of not only the asphalt, but of the soil present under the asphalt. Paved areas may be separate survey units or they may be incorporated into surveys of adjacent open land areas of like classification.
5.4.3.2 Stored Bulk Materials Excavated soil may be reused onsite. Prior to reuse, excavated soil will be characterized to determine its suitability. Any surface scanning or volumetric analyses will be directly compared with DCGL values.
Controls will be instituted to prevent mixing of soils from more restrictive survey area classifications (e.g., Class 2 material could be used in either Class 1 or 2 areas and Class 1 material could only be used in Class 1 areas). Soils satisfying the criteria for unrestricted release may be stockpiled for use as EF1 onsite backfill material.
The one area that would need to be separately evaluated is if the decision is made to leave sand, steel shot or other materials within or outside of existing structures. There are no plans to dispose of concrete building rubble onsite as part of Fermi 1 decommissioning, since the buildings will remain standing. However, there are materials such as sand and steel shot that were sealed behind walls or in penetrations during plant operations.

Source efficiency (es), reflects the physical characteristics of the surface and any surface coatings. The source efficiency is the ratio between the number of particles emerging from surface and the total of particles released within the source.
The source efficiency accounts for attenuation and backscatter. Source efficiency (e,), is nominally 0.5 (no self-absorption/attenuation, no backscatter) backscatter increases the value, self-absorption decreases the value. Source efficiencies may either be derived empirically or simply selected from the guidance contained in ISO 7503-1. ISO 7503-1 takes a conservative approach by recommending the use of factors to correct for alpha and beta self-absorption/attenuation when determining surface activity.
However, this approach may prove to be too conservative for radionuclides with max beta energies that are marginally lower than 0.400 MeV, such as Co-60 with a
,max of 0.3 14 MeV. In this situation, it may be more appropriate to determine the source efficiency by considering the energies of other beta emitting radionuclides. Using this approach it is possible to determine weighted average source efficiency.
For example, a source efficiency of 0.375 may be calculated based on a 50/50 mix of Co-60 and Cs-137. The source efficiencies for Co-60 and Cs-137 are 0.25 and 0.5 respectively, since the radionuclide fraction for Co-60 and Cs-137 is 50% for each, the weighted average source efficiency for the mix may be calculated in the following manner:
