Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I 1.0 Description This letter is submitted as a supplement to Proposed Change No. 218 (Reference 7.3), which requests an amendment to the Operating License No. DPR-36 for Maine Yankee, specifically License Condition 2.B(9), addressing release of lands from the jurisdiction of the Facility Operating License. Maine Yankee requested that the NRC review and approve the release of remaining land under License No. DPR-36 with the exception of the land where the Independent Spend Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) is located. In support of that request, Maine Yankee supplied the information required in LTP section 1.4.2 and 5.9.3. The land area associated with the license amendment request included the entire non-ISFSI portion of the site land. Maine Yankee is submitting the required dismantlement and survey information for the survey units that make up the non-ISFSI portion of the site land in a phased fashion. Other descriptive information and technical evaluations contained in Reference No. 7.3 are unaffected by these submittals and are, therefore, not included in this submittal, as indicated.

In this submittal, Maine Yankee is providing the dismantlement and survey information for three areas (four survey units), as described in Table 1 in Section 4.1.1. Maine Yankee is providing this information to facilitate NRC review and acceptance. This written NRC acceptance must conclude, for the land associated with the release, that the remaining dismantlement has been performed in accordance with the approved license termination plan, and the terminal radiation survey and associated documentation demonstrates that the facility and site are suitable for release in accordance with the criteria for decommissioning in 10 CFR part 20, subpart E by meeting a site release criteria of 10 millirem TEDE per year over background (all pathways) with no more than 4 millirem (as distinguishable from background) TEDE per year from groundwater sources of drinking water in accordance with the approved License Termination Plan.

Reference 7.3 provided the information required by section 1.4 of Maine Yankee's License Termination Plan (LTP). LTP section 1.4 discusses the information to be provided in support of releasing land from the jurisdiction of License No. DPR-36 and also describes Maine Yankee's overall phased approach to releasing land. This submittal provides the dismantlement, FSS results, and recontamination prevention and control information required by LTP section 1.4 specific to the survey units covered in this submittal.

The information contained in this submittal, together with the information provided in the prior and subsequent supplemental phases will be sufficient for the NRC to make a determination equivalent to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(l 1) regarding the lands to be released from the license. Once these lands are so released, it is understood that the NRC wvill not require any additional surveys or decontamination of these areas unless the NRC determines that the criteria of 10CFR Part 20, Subpart E were not met and that residual activity remaining on the land could result in a significant threat to public health and safety.

2.0 Proposed License Condition The proposed wording for the license condition is provided in Reference 7.3 and is not affected by this supplement.

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I 3.0 Background Reference 7.3 transmitted an application to amend Maine Yankee's License No. DPR-36 to release the remaining non-ISFSI land from the jurisdiction of the license. The process for releasing land from Maine Yankee's license is established in section 1.4 of the License Termination Plan. This LTP section defines the information that will be provided to support release of land from Maine Yankee's license. This information, includes (1) a description of the boundaries associated with the area to be released, (2) discussion of dismantlement activities performed; (3) final status survey results; (4) evaluation of the potential for re-contamination and controls applied to prevent this; (5) an evaluation of the impact on the exclusion area for site lands remaining under the Part 50 license; (6) an evaluation of possible combined dose effects as a result of partial release; (7) an evaluation of potential impact on various licensee programs and; (8) a no significant hazards determination evaluation. Items (1), (5), (6), (7), and (8) are applicable to the License Amendment Request and the release of the entire remaining non-ISFSI land. Items (2), (3), and (4) are specific to each survey unit/area. This information is contained in this submittal for the survey units covered by this submittal.

4.0 Site Information and Physical Description 4.1 Physical Description of Land to be Released The land to be released is described in Reference 7.3 and is unchanged by this submittal.

4.1.1 Survey Unit Information Included in this Submittal As discussed in section 1.0 above, this submittal provides a discussion of demolition activities completed and final status survey results for the survey units located on the proposed land to be released. Details are provided for each survey unit on survey methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. Additional information on all remaining survey units for the Non-ISFSI land areas have been provided in previous submittals or will be provided in subsequent submittals. In all cases, Maine Yankee is providing sufficient information, as required, relating to each survey unit so that the NRC staff can verify that the License Termination Plan has been fully implemented for each survey area and that the final status survey results support unrestricted release of the land from License DPR-36 in accordance with the proposed license amendment.

Table 1 provides a description of the survey units addressed in this submittal.

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I Table 1 - Survey Unit Description Survey Survey Class General Description of Survey Unit Area Unit FA-0400 I 1 Fuel Building - The survey unit is located in the Restricted Area and consists of exposed surfaces within the Fuel Building footprint. The survey unit resulted from the demolition and removal of the Fuel Building and various adjoining support structures (RCA Building, TK-85 Pit and Pipe Tunnel.) The survey unit is approximately 1245 in2 .

FR-0 11 15 1 Yard West Excavations - The survey unit is located in the Restricted Area, north of the former Containment Building and encompasses the majority of the Primary Auxiliary Building (PAB) footprint. The survey unit consists of relatively flat terrain. The survey unit is approximately 1029.5 M2 .

FR-0 1I1 16 I Yard West Excavations - The survey unit is located in the current Restricted Area, north of the former PAB and encompassed the area of the former BWST and reserve station transformers (X14 & X16). The survey units was an area composed of soil, backfill, and various concrete pad and wall remnants. It included excavated trenches where storm drain piping was removed. The survey unit is approximately 1273 rn2 FR-2600 1 3 Duct Banks - The remaining electrical cable duct banks located within the North end of the developed site (Balance of Plant Land) and the North end of the Restricted Area. The accessible portions of the Survey Unit are the concrete manhole (MH) and handhole (HH) structures. The survey unit is approximately 5,396 m2 These areas and locations of these survey units are shown in Figure 1. The cross-hatched portions of the site represent the areas for which detailed dismantlement and survey information is being provided in this submittal. Shaded areas in Figure I represent those included in previous submittals. See Figure 2 for an expanded scale illustration, showing the site's industrial area.

FR-2900 Railroad Tracks & Roadways - 2 Survey Units 4.2 Dismantlement Activities The Maine Yankee License Termination Plan (LTP) describes the dismantlement activities to be performed for each structure and area of the Maine Yankee plant. In general, the LTP indicates that structures will be demolished to an elevation corresponding to three feet below grade. A few structures will remain in-place including the 345 kV switchyard and associated relay house.

The LTP stated the possibility of other structures, such as the Warehouses and Staff Building, to be left standing following successful completion of final status surveys. The Warehouses and Staff Building have now been demolished. The former Low Level Waste Storage Building, now the ISFSI Security Operations Building (SOB), will remain in-place until fuel is transferred to the United States Department of Energy and will be dismantled and/or released concurrent with FSS of the ISFSI and license termination. Portions of the west plant access road will remain in-place to service the ISFSI and/or other future uses of the site. Since Old Ferry Road is a public road, it will also remain in-place. Certain below grade structural remnants and buried/embedded piping will remain in-place as described in LTP section 3.2.4.

Various options for sequencing building demolition and final status survey activities are established for buildings within the Restricted Area. Typically, a final status survey is conducted on building basement surfaces before fill material is placed in the basement. The fuel building will be demolished to bedrock, except for the fuel pool slab, and surveyed as an excavation prior to backfill. Routine communications are held with State of Maine and NRC representatives to facilitate scheduling of State and NRC surveys, as necessary.

Page 5 of 13

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I This section reviews the activities that have been performed for the survey area(s) included in this submittal.

4.2.1 FA-0400 Fuel Building LTP Section 3.2.4 indicated that the Fuel Building would be demolished to 3 ft below grade. Basement foundations below this level would remain in place and be backfilled with soil fill following remediation, as required, and final status survey. All of the intervening walls and floors in the basements may be removed. The spent fuel pool liner would be removed due to known contamination levels. All demolition activities associated with the Fuel Building have been completed.

4.2.2 FR-01 11 Yard West Excavations Survey Area FR-01 11 addresses FSS in a number of soil remediation areas within the site's radiologically RA and is comprised of twenty survey units.

This report includes the FSS for two survey units from this area, Survey Units 15 and 16.

The FSS of the other survey units from FR-0 1I1 have either been reported in previous submittals, or will be reported in subsequent submittals.

Dismantlement activities for these survey units involved demolition of above grade structures including the Primary Auxiliary Building, Borated Water Storage Tank (BWST) and reserve station transformers (X14 & X16). These survey units included surface and subsurface excavations as required to remediate contaminated soils, structures and piping.

4.2.3 FR-2600 Duct Banks Cables were removed from the duct banks and the manholes were cleaned of debris. The survey was conducted on the manhole and handhole surfaces prior to backfill Page 6 of 13

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I 5.0 Technical Evaluation 5.1 Potential for Cross-contamination from Subsequent Activities Since decommissioning activities are being conducted onsite in parallel with final status survey and release decisions, measures must be taken to protect survey areas from contamination during and subsequent to the final status survey (FSS). Maine Yankee LTP sections 3.5.6, 5.1.2 and 5.1 1 describe contamination and access controls measures and periodic routine monitoring practices to prevent and/or detect the re-contamination of survey areas during or following FSS.

These requirements are implemented, as appropriate, through established procedures and were summarized in Reference 7.3.

The potential for re-contamination and the contamination controls/monitoring for the specific survey areas included in this release phase are discussed and evaluated below:

5.1.1 FA-0400 Fuel Building This survey unit is within the RA. Unlike the Containment, Spray Building, and PAB, FSS was performed after the demolition of the above grade structure and any necessary remediation. Following FSS of the survey unit, the area was backfilled and removed from the Restricted Area. Standard controls and procedures were implemented including provisions for access control, postings, and routine surveys.

5.1.2 FR-O11 Yard West Excavations Contamination controls for the soil remediation areas required special measures due to the proximity of other demolition and excavation work on-going in adjacent survey units and to manage water from both rain and groundwater sources.

1. In general, standard access controls and posting requirements were implemented following the completion of excavation.
2. Buffer zones were established around excavation areas to minimize the potential for foreign material to be inadvertently moved into the excavation.
3. As a general practice, backfilling was accomplished as expeditiously as possible, to minimize the duration that the excavation was open.
4. Due to rainwater and groundwater intrusion, a number of water management measures were instituted. Dikes were used around the open excavation to minimize rainwater accumulation within the excavation. Pooled water in the excavation was sampled, processed, and discharged, meeting applicable discharge permit requirements.

As an additional control measure, following FSS of these survey units, the site RA boundaries were revised to reduce the overall size of the RA. As a result, the subject FR-0111 survey unit areas were no longer within the RA. This action not only provides for improved management and control of activities (within a smaller RA) but also further Page 7 of 13

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I reduces the possibility of vehicles traversing and contaminating the subject FR-0 11 survey unit areas.

The conduct of FSS on FR-0111 -SU15 also acted as the post demolition verification survey of the PAB footprint (FA-0600) following removal of the sacrificial fill layer.

5.1.3 FR-2600 Duct Banks This survey unit area is both inside and outside the RA. The majority of the remaining duct banks, were located outside the RA during plant operation and were not used to transport any contaminated media. Prior to surveying manhole MH-l and handhole HH-4, it was discovered that the top and side of the manhole were damaged and the handhole had been removed. An evaluation concerning potential contamination of MH-1 as a result of the broken top/wall concluded that the manhole was not impacted by plant-derived materials and met the requirements for a Class 3 area. Following the completion of FSS, manholes and handholes were backfilled. Standard controls and procedures were then implemented.

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT I 6.0 Final Status Survey Report Maine Yankee LTP section 5.9.3 identifies the contents of the written reports of final status survey results that are to be submitted to the NRC. These contents include the items described in NUREG 1757, Vol. 2, Section 4.5 (Reference 7.6). The survey unit design information and survey results are provided below in summary fashion. Specific survey unit design details and results are provided in a copy of each survey unit release record in Attachment II of this submittal.

6.1 Overview of Results The following survey units are included in this report:

1. FA-0400-SU-1 Fuel Building - The survey unit is located in the Restricted Area and consists of exposed surfaces within the Fuel Building footprint. The survey unit resulted from the demolition and removal of the Fuel Building and various adjoining support structures (RCA Building, TK-85 Pit and Pipe Tunnel.)
2. FR-0111-SU-15 Yard West Excavations - The survey unit is located in the Restricted Area, north of the former Containment Building and encompasses the majority of the Primary Auxiliary Building (PAB) footprint.
3. FR-0111-SU-16 Yard West Excavations - The survey unit is located in the current Restricted Area, north of the former PAB and encompassed the area of the former BWST and reserve station transformers (X14 &

X16).

4. FR-2600-SU-1 Duct Banks - The remaining electrical cable duct banks located within the North end of the developed site (Balance of Plant Land) and the North end of the Restricted Area.

The release record for each survey unit contains a description of the survey unit; design information including classification, size, number of measurements, map, scan coverage, and DCGL; survey results; survey unit investigations (anomalous data); data assessment results, including statistical evaluations, if applicable and a simplified general retrospective dose estimate; changes in initial survey unit assumptions on extent of residual activity, an evaluation of LTP changes subsequent to the FSS of the survey unit and survey unit conclusions.

Overall, the release records for these survey units demonstrate that they meet the criteria for release for unrestricted use in accordance with the NRC approved Maine Yankee License Termination Plan.

Final Status Survey Final Report No. 9A, Revision 0 ATTACHMENT 1 6.2 Discussion of Changes to FSS Program The purpose of this section is to discuss changes to the FSS program. Relevant NRC guidance documents (Reference Nos. 7.5 and 7.6) recommend a discussion of any changes that were made in the final status survey from what was proposed in the decommissioning plan or other prior submittals. The impacts of applicable changes on each survey unit are discussed in the survey units' release record provided in Attachment II.

There were no changes to the LTP with potential impact to the survey units in this FSS Final Report.

6.3 Final Status Survey Methodology This section summarizes the implementation of the LTP Final Status Survey methodology for the survey units that are included in this report supporting the release of remaining non-ISFSI site land. Table 2 lists the key FSS design features for each survey unit. These design features include the survey unit classification and size, the standard deviation and Lower Boundary of the Gray Region (LBGR) used for determining the number of static measurement taken, the percent scan coverage, the Derived Concentration Guideline Limit (DCGL), the design DCGLEMC 2 , and the number of measurements required.

MAINE YANKEE FINAL STATUS SURVEY RELEASE RECORD FA-0400 FUEL BUILDING SURVEY UNIT 1 A. SURVEY UNIT DESCRIPTION Survey Unit 1 is located in Survey Area FA-0400, the Fuel Building. The survey unit consists of exposed surfaces within the Fuel Building footprint. The survey unit is composed primarily of exposed concrete foundation remnants and exposed rock ledge. There were areas consisting of soil located around the periphery of the survey unit. It was created in part as a result of the demolition and removal of the Fuel Building and various adjoining support structures (RCA Building, TK-85 Pit, and Pipe Tunnel). Also contributing to the size and depth of this area was the excavation of contaminated material found between the Fuel Building exterior and the outer Reactor Containment Building wall (shake space). The southwest comer of the survey unit is located near grid coordinates 407,628 N and 623,742 E using the Maine State Coordinate System (West Zone) NAD 1927.

The Fuel Building is shown in relation to other major site structures in map FA0400Ul-SITE.

The survey unit topography is shown on map FA0400UI-INFO. All maps referenced in this release record are provided in Attachment 1 unless otherwise noted. The survey unit is approximately 1,245 m2 .

B. SURVEY UNIT DESIGN INFORMATION The area was designated a Class I structure survey unit per the LTP (Table 5-4A, A0400, Fuel Building). Significant remediation was performed in the excavated area prior to FSS.

Since the survey unit was already Class 1, no reassessment of classification was required.

The survey unit design parameters are shown in Table 1. Given a relative shift of 2.4, it was determined that 15 direct measurements were required for the Sign Test; however, the number of samples was increased to .50 to increase the area factor and to meet the minimum sample density of 1/50 n2 . Measurement locations were determined using a fixed grid with a randomly determined start point and are illustrated on the map FA0400U1-DIRT. Because of the poor surface condition of the remaining concrete and rock ledge, volumetric samples were collected. Similarly, volumetric samples were collected in areas containing soil. In all cases, the results from the sample analysis were converted to surface activity as shown in Table 2. Direct measurements were analyzed with laboratory gamma spectroscopy instrumentation.

In accordance with the LTP, a total of 193 scans covering 100% of the 1,245 m 2 area were required for the Class I survey unit. This was accomplished by use of an in situ gamma spectroscopy detector (ISOCS) configured at a 2-meter distance, to obtain overlapping 12.6-M2 fields of view. The ISOCS detector was positioned perpendicular to the surface.

ISOCS survey scan locations are shown on illustrations FA0400UI-SCAN and FA0400UI-NONVERTSCAN.

FA-0400-01, Revision 0 Page 2 of 25

The ISOCS scan investigation setpoint was conservatively set at the DCGL, as shown in Table 2-2 (Attachment 2). The instruments used in this survey are listed by model and serial number in Attachment 2 (Table 2-1). Scan MDCs are also listed in Attachment 2 (Table 2-2) and are compared to the DCGL, the investigation level, and the DCGLEMC. As shown in this table, the scan MDC is less than the scan investigation level in all cases, thus providing high confidence (95% or higher) that an elevated area would be detected in the scanning process.

Further, since the investigation level at the alarm setpoint was always less than the design DCGLEmc, no EMC sample size adjustment was necessary.

C. SURVEY RESULTS Fifty direct samples were obtained in Survey Unit 1. The DCGL used was the surface DCGL and direct samples were converted to surface activity. All direct measurements were less than the DCGL. The resulting data are presented in Table 2.

ISOCS gamma scans were performed at 193 locations using an investigation level of 1.80E+06 dpm/m2 (Co-60 plus Cs-137) for the 12.6 m2 field of view designed to achieve overlapping scan coverage to ensure 100 percent coverage for the survey unit. The scans were designed to achieve a Minimum Detectable Activity of 14% of the surface DCGL or better; in fact, all scans achieved 8% or better. All scan activity values were below the investigation level. An evaluation was performed to determine the attenuation effects on locations identified as having water in the field of view. The evaluation concluded that a maximum water level of 4" did not cause the MDAs or reported activity values to exceed the prescribed investigation level.

After initial review of the scan data, spotty Co-60 and Cs-137 contamination was noted at several scan locations. Based on professional judgment, package XA0400 was generated to investigate elevated Co-60 scan locations S038, S040, S045, and S081, and elevated Cs-137 scan location S136. Refer to Section D for further discussion of the investigation performed.

SURVEY UNIT INVESTIGATIONS PERFORMED AND RESULTS During FSS scans of Survey Unit 1, no scan measurements indicated activity above the survey design investigation level of 1,800,000 dpm/m2 (18,000 dpm/I 00 cm2 ).

Initial review of the ISOCS scan data revealed spotty Co-60 and Cs-137 contamination at several scan locations. Based on professional judgment, package XA0400 was generated to investigate elevated Co-60 scan locations S038, S040, S045, and S081, and elevated Cs-137 scan location S136. To investigate the elevated scan locations, SSPA-3 scans were used to isolate pockets of elevated areas within the original ISOCS scan field of view. The elevated areas were sampled and additional SSPA-3 and ISOCS measurements were made to document the as-left condition.

For the elevated Co-60 scan locations, a small elevated pocket was found in the overlapping scan grids of S040 and S045. Once the elevated pocket was remediated, subsequent as left ISOCS scans of locations S038, S040, and S045 all indicated Co-60 less than 1.00 E+05 dpm/m 2 . No elevated areas were found during the E1600/SSPA-3 scans of scan grid S038.

Location S081 contained spot contamination. Three small pockets were discovered and removed and an as-left rescan of location S081 indicated Co-60 activity of 64,027 dpm/m2 .

FA-0400-01, Revision 0 Page 6 of 25

Condition Report CR 05-023 was written to address residual activity that a surveyor employed by the State of Maine found in the survey unit for scan grid location S136. As a result of the questions raised in the Condition Report and the level of activity in the original FSS scan, the area was investigated. Based on an evaluation of the investigation results (Reference 3), it was concluded that the source term had no impact on the conclusion that the survey unit meets the release criteria. Nonetheless, the area was subsequently remediated.

The investigation results are discussed below.

Initial FSS scan grid location S136 indicated elevated Cs-137 activity of 564,370 dpm/m 2 ,

which is less than the DCGL of 1,800,000 dpmlm 2 , and corresponds to a concrete volumetric activity of 2.31 pCi/g. However, when this activity is applied to the estimated contaminated area of 0.74 m2 , the equivalent beta activity is 110,449 dpm/100 cm 2 , which exceeds the DCGL. An investigation survey was performed and, based on the results, the DCGLEMC unity fraction was determined to be 0.091, much less than unity. The subsequent remediation of the elevated area was followed by a survey resulting in an as-left ISOCS scan result of 116,100 dpm/m2 or 1,161 dpm 100 cm2 . For comparison, the initial survey unit ISOCS scan mean was 108,476 dpm/m2 which compares favorably with the as-left scan for location S1 36.

Based on volumetric sampling, the final result after remediation is 6,643 dpm/100 cm 2 which is approximately 37% of the DCGL.

The as-left survey measurements were all less than the DCGL. The arrangement for the final measurements is shown on map XA0400-UI-SCAN. The original FSS and final measurement results are shown in Table 3-i (Attachment 3).

E. SURVEY UNIT DATA ASSESSMENT An analysis of the direct sample measurement results, including the mean, median, standard deviation, and sample result range, are provided in Table 2. Positively detected values are bolded in the table. Of the 50 direct samples obtained, four samples positively identified Co-60 and nine positively identified Cs-137. All other values were below the MDA.

Identified sample activities or Minimum Detectable Activities are listed in Table 2. The mean and median activities were less than the DCGL. The average of the direct sample results was 90 dpm/nl00 cm 2 , indicating that the samples averaged 0.5% of the DCGL limit.

All direct measurement results were below the equivalent gross surface DCGL. The maximum direct sample result was equivalent to 1,216 dpmilOO cm 2 . No investigations were required based on the direct sample results since all measurement results were less than the equivalent gross surface DCGL. Five of the scan locations (S038, S040, S045, S081, and S136) were investigated due to spotty Co-60 or Cs-137 activity, but none exceeded the investigation level of 18,000 dpm/l00 cm2 .

For illustrative purposes, as indicated in LTP Section 5.9.3, a simplified dose estimate can be calculated from the mean residual contamination level of 90 dprn/l 00 cm2 . This is equivalent to an annual dose of 0.002 mrem 3 .

3.

This annual dose equivalent is based on LTP Table 6.1 lb which shows the Total Annual Dose from Contaminated Concrete to be 3.OIE-01 mrem/y. Therefore, the annual dose rate would equate to Annual Dose Me = 3.01E -1 x =.02 mremly FA-0400-01, Revision 0 Page 7 of 25

F. ADDITIONAL DATA EVALUATION Attachment 4 provides additional data evaluation associated with Survey Unit 1, including relevant statistical information. Based on survey unit direct measurement data, this attachment provides the Sign Test Summary, Quantile Plot, Histogram, and Retrospective Power Curve.

1. The Sign Test Summary provides an overall summary of design input (Table 1) and resulting calculated values used to determine the adjusted required number (N) of direct samples (per LTP Section 5.4.2). The Sign Test Summary is a separate statistical analysis that also calculates the mean, median, and standard deviation of the direct samples.

The critical value and the result of the Sign Test are provided in the Sign Test Summary table, as well as a listing of the key release criteria. As is shown in the table, all of the key release criteria were clearly satisfied for the FSS of this survey unit.

2. The Quantile Plot was generated from direct sample data listed in Table 2 and indicates general symmetry about the median. The data set and plot are consistent with expectations for a Class I survey unit. There is no reason to conclude that the data set represents other than random variations in a Class I concrete surface survey unit. It also should be noted that the maximum activity (1,216 dpm/10O cm2 at location SO15) is well below the DCGL of I8,000 dpm/l 00 cm2 .
3. A Histogram Plot was also developed based on the direct measurement values. This plot shows that the direct data were essentially a normal distribution with two outliers.
4. A Retrospective Power Curve was constructed, based on FSS results. The curve shows that this survey unit having a mean residual activity at a small fraction of the DCGL, has a high probability ("power") of meeting the release criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the direct sample data support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and that the data quality objectives were met.

G. CHANGES IN INITIAL SURVEY UNIT ASSUMPTIONS ON EXTENT OF RESIDUAL ACTIVITY The survey was designed as a Class 1 structure survey area; the FSS results were consistent with that classification. The direct measurement sample standard deviation was less than the design sigma. Thus, a sufficient number of sample measurements were taken.

H. LTP CHANGES SUBSEQUENT TO SURVEY UNIT FSS The FSS of Survey Unit I was designed, performed, and evaluated in the March 2005-April 2005 time frame using the criteria of the LTP Revision 4 (Reference 1). No subsequent LTP changes with potential impact to this survey unit need to be evaluated.

FA-0400-01, Revision 0 Page 8 of 25

I. CONCLUSION The FSS of this survey unit was designed based on the LTP designation as a Class I area.

The survey design parameters are presented in Table 1. The required number of direct measurements was determined for the Sign Test in accordance with the LTP. As presented in Table 2, all direct samples were less than the DCGL of 18,000 dprnlO00 cm 2 .

A Sign Test Summary analysis demonstrated that the Sign Test criteria were satisfied. The direct measurement sigma was determined to be less than that used for design, thus indicating that a sufficient number of samples was taken.

The Retrospective Power Curve shown in Attachment 4 confirmed that sufficient samples were taken to support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and the data quality objectives were met. Attachment 4 also revealed that direct measurement data represented essentially a normal distribution with two outliers.

The scan survey design for this survey unit was developed in accordance with the LTP Revision 4 (Reference 1) with significant aspects of the design discussed in Section B and Table 1. JSOCS scans performed at a distance of 2 meters in a systematic grid pattern throughout the survey unit revealed no locations exceeding the investigation level of 18,000 dpm/1 00 cm 2 ; however, based on professional judgment an investigation package was generated for a total of five locations which revealed spotty Co-60 or Cs-137 contamination (refer to Section D for discussion of results).

It is concluded that FA-0400 Survey Unit 1 meets the release criteria of 10CFR20.1402 and the State of Maine enhanced criteria.

MAINE YANKEE FINAL STATUS SURVEY RELEASE RECORD FR-0111 YARD WEST EXCAVATIONS SURVEY UNIT 15 A. SURVEY UNIT DESCRIPTION FR-0 11 Yard West Excavations Survey Unit 15 was located north of the former Containment Building and encompasses the majority of the PAB footprint. The 1,029.5 m2 area was bordered on the West by FA-0400 Survey Unit 1, (the Spent Fuel Building Footprint). The survey unit was centered near coordinates 407,700 N and 623,900 E using Maine State Coordinate System (West Zone) NAD 1927. The location of the survey unit in relation to the Containment Building and the surrounding FR-0 11I survey units is shown on map FRO 1I lUl5-SlTE (Attachment 1). The survey unit consisted ofrelatively flat terrain as indicated on map FROl 1IUI 5-INFO. It should be noted that the Release Record for FR-0111-14 had anticipated that follow up surveys for a small strip of area adjacent to the Containment wall would be included in FR-01 11-15. Survey Unit 15 had to be reconfigured to provide for an access road which resulted in the small area adjacent to the Containment wall being placed in FR-0111 Survey Unit 19.

B. SURVEY UNIT DESIGN INFORMATION Survey Unit 15 met the LTP Revision 4 definition for a Class 1 survey unit. The survey unit design parameters are shown in Table 1. Given a relative shift of 0.8, it was determined that 40 direct measurements were required for the Sign Test. Because the measurement locations were based on a systematic square grid with a random start point, the N=40 design led to a survey unit map with 42 locations which are illustrated on map FROI I lU15-DIRT (Attachment 1). Direct measurements (soil samples) were collected from required locations and analyzed with laboratory gamma spectroscopy instrumentation.

In accordance with the LTP, scans covering 100% of the 1,029.5 rn2 area were required for the Class 1 survey unit. This was accomplished by use ofan in situ gamma spectroscopy detector (ISOCS) configured at a 3-meter distance from the surface to obtain overlapping 28-m 2 fields of view. Two ISOCS measurements (SO58 and S059) were configured with the detector located 2 meters from the concrete surfaces in the area of the former pipe tunnel.

The ISOCS detector was positioned perpendicular to the surface, as appropriate, to provide 100% scan coverage of the surface. Locations and orientation (vertical or horizontal) of the 59 survey scans are shown on map FROl 1IUI5-SCAN.

The ISOCS scans were configured to ensure 100% scan coverage of all exposed surfaces within Survey Unit 15. The survey instriments used are listed by model and serial number in Attachment 2 (Table 2-1). Scan MDCs are also listed in Attachment 2 (Table 2-2) and are compared to the DCGL, the investigation level, and the DCGLEmc. The scan MDC is less than the scan investigation level, thus providing high confidence (95% or higher) that an elevated area would be detected in the scanning process. Further, since the investigation level was always less than the design DCGLEMC, no EMC sample size adjustment was necessary.

SURVEY RESULTS A total of 42 direct measurements were performed in Survey Unit 15. Five samples contained Cs-1 37 with levels of residual activity below the DCGL. Additionally, one sample contained Co-60 below the DCGL. All other measurements were below the MDA. The results are presented in Table 2.

ISOCS gamma scans were performed at 59 locations using an investigation level of 1.0 pCilg Cs-137 and 0.36 pCi/g Co-60. Two ofthe locations scanned consisted primarilyofconcrete media, the balance were soil scan measurements. Media appropriate geometries were applied to each ISOCS measurement. The gamma scans were performed for a sufficient count time to achieve a Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) of approximately 30% ofthe DCGL. All identified scan activity levels and MDAs were below the investigation levels. Therefore, no investigation surveys were performed as a result of the scan surveys.

D. SURVEY UNIT INVESTIGATIONS PERFORMED AND RESULTS Based on the scan results, no investigations were required.

E. SURVEY UNIT DATA ASSESSMENT An analysis of the direct sample measurement results, including the mean, median, standard deviation, and sample result range, is provided in Table 2. Positively detected values are bolded in the table. Since Co-60 and Cs-137 are the primary nuclides of concern, non-detect values for these nuclides were assumed to be present at the MDA. Of the 42 soil samples collected, 5identified Cs-137 activity below the DCGL value of 2.39 pCi/g. Additionally, one sample contained Co-60 below the DCGL. All other values were below the MDA.

Identified sample activities or Minimum Detectable Activities are listed in Table 2. The mean and median activities were less than the DCGLs for Cs-137 and Co-60. The average of the DCGL unity fiactions was 0.0949, indicating that the direct measurements averaged 9.49%/a of the DCGL limit.

For illustrative purposes, as indicated in LTP Section 5.9.3, a simplified general retrospective dose estimate can be calculated from the average residual contamination level by subtracting the mean fallout Cs-137 value (0.19 pCi/g)2 for disturbed soil from the survey unit sample mean activity (0.060 pCi/g). This would equate to an annual dose rate of 0.0 mrem/year.

Taking into account the average residual contamination level for Co-60, the annual dose rate would equate to 0.53 me/yia?. For purposes of demonstrating compliance with the radiological ciiteria for license termination and the enhanced State criteria, background activity was not subtracted from the sample analysis activity values.

F. ADDITIONAL DATA EVALUATION Attachment 4 provides additional data evaluation associated with this survey unit, including relevant statistical information. Based on survey unit direct measurement data, this attachment provides the Sign Test Summary, Quantile Plot, Histogram, and Retrospective Power Curve.

1. The Sign Test Summary provides an overall summary of design input (Table 1) and resulting calculated values used to determine the required number (N) of direct measurements (per LTP Section 5.42). The Sign Test Summary is a separate statistical analysis that also calculates the mean, median, and standard deviation of the direct measurements.

The critical value and the result of the Sign Test are provided in the Sign Test Summary table, as well as a listing of the key release criteria. The direct measurements clearly pass the Sign Test The subject release criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the sample standard deviation is smaller than the design sigma; therefore, no additional samples were required.

2 See Attachment E to Maine Yankee Procedure PMP 6.7.8 (Refcrence 2).

3 This annual dose equivalent is based on LTP Table 6-11 which shows the RA contaminated soil contribution (for soils contaminated at the DCGL) to be 7.67 rnremly. Therfore, the annual dose rate would equate to o.0599)

Annual DoseRate = 7.67x Om ) =03mrem ly FR-OII I-IS, Revision 0 PageS of 20

2. The Quantile Plot was generated from the unity data listed in Table 2. The data set and plot are consistent with expectations for a Class 1 survey unit. All of the measurements are below the DCGLs of 2.39 pCi/g for Cs-137 and 0.86 pCi/g for Co-60 for land inside the restricted area.
3. A Histogram Plot was also developed based on the unity data values. This plot shows a log-normal distribution with one outlier.
4. A Retrospective Power Curve was constructed, based on FSS results. The curve shows that this survey unit having a mean residual activity at a small fraction of the DCGL has a high probability ("power") of meeting the release criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the direct measurement data support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and that the data quality objectives were met.

G. CHANGES IN INITIAL SURVEY UNIT ASSUMPTIONS ON EXTENT OF RESIDUAL ACTIVITY The survey was designed as a Class I land survey area; the FSS results were consistent with that classification. The direct measurement sample standard deviation was less than the design sigma. Thus, a sufficient number of sample measurements were taken and no additional measurements were required.

H. LTP CHANGES SUBSEQUENT TO SURVEY UNIT FSS The FSS of Survey Unit 15 was designed, performed, and evaluated in the April 2005 time frame. The design was performed to the criteria of the LIP Revision 4 (Reference 1). No subsequent LTP changes with potential impact to this survey unit need to be evaluated.

L CONCLUSION The FSS of this survey unit was designed based on the LI? designation as a Class 1 area.

The survey design parameters are presented in Table 1. The required number of direct measurements was determined for the Sign Test in accordance with the LTP. As presented in Table 2, all direct measurements were less than the DCGLs of 2.39 pCi/g Cs-137 and 0.86 pCilg Co-60. No measurements exceeded the unitized DCGL.

A Sign Test Summary analysis demonstrated that the Sign Test criteria were satisfied. The direct measurement sigma was determined to be less than that used for design, thus indicating that a sufficient number of samples was taken.

The Retrospective Power Curve shown in Attachment 4 confirmed that sufficient samples were taken to support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and the data quality objectives were met. Attachment 4 also revealed that direct measurement data-represented essentially a log-normal distribution with one outlier.

R-011 1-15, Revision 0 Page 6 of 20

The scan survey design for this survey unit was developed in accordance with the LTP Revision 4 (Reference 1) with significant aspects of the design discussed in Section B and Table 1. ISOCS scans performed at a distance of 3 meters in a systematic grid pattern throughout the survey unit and two concrete measurements taken at 2 meters from the surface did not identify activity above the scan investigation levels of 1.0 pCi/g Cs-1 37 and 0.36 pCi/g Co-60. Therefore, no investigations were required as a result of the scan process.

It is concluded that FR-01 1I Survey Unit 15 meets the release criteria of IOCFR20.1402 and the State of Maine enhanced criteria.

MAINE YANKEE FINAL STATUS SURVEY RELEASE RECORD FR-0 11 YARD WEST EXCAVATIONS SURVEY UNIT 16 A. SURVEY UNIT DESCRIPTION FR-0 11 Yard West Survey IPpit 16 was located in the current Restricted Area yard, north of the former PAB. The 1273 m area encompassed the area of the former BWST and reserve station transformers (X14 & X16). The survey unit was bordered on the north by the Restricted Area fence line and the plant's south access road (FR-2900 Survey Unit 2). The survey unit was also bounded on the west by FR-01II Survey Unit 12, on the south by FR-0111 Survey Unit 15, and on the east by FR-01I I Survey Unit 20. Survey Unit 16 encompasses FR-0 11 Survey Unit 2, an area previously surveyed for FSS. The survey unit was centered near coordinates 623910E and 4078 1ON using the Maine State Coordinate System (West Zone) NAD 1927 as shown on map FRO 111-1 6 SITE. The location of the survey unit in relation to the Containment Building and the surrounding FR-0 11 survey units is shown on map FROI 11-16 REF (Attachment 1).

Survey Unit 16 was an area composed of soil, backfill, and various concrete pad and wall remnants. It included excavated trenches where storm drain piping was removed. The terrain was highly irregular and encompasses an area of 1273 m .

B. SURVEY UNIT DESIGN INFORMATION Survey Unit 16 met the LTP Revision 4 definition for a Class 1 survey unit. The survey unit design parameters are shown in Table l. Given a relative shift of 0.8, it was determined that 40 direct measurements were required for the Sign Test. Because the measurement locations were based on a systematic square grid with a random start point, the N=40 design led to a survey unit map with 42 locations which are illustrated on map FROII 1-1 6a (Attachment 1).

Direct measurements (soil and concrete samples) were collected from required locations and analyzed with laboratory gamma spectroscopy instrumentation.

In accordance with the LTP, scans covering 100% of the 1273 in2 area were required for the Class I survey unit. This was accomplished by use of an In situ gamma sE ectroscopy detector (ISOCS) configured at a 3-meter distance perpendicular to the soil surface to obtain overlapping 28-mi fields of view. There were 69 ISOCS scans of soil suffces. In addition, there were 47 ISOCS scans configured at a 2-meter distance with a 12.6-m field of view which were employed perpendicular to concrete surfaces, such as concrete walls and the sides of trenches. In some cases, ISOCS shots covered locations which included both soil and concrete. Appropriate geometries were selected based on the relative proportion of surface materials present These geometries include both the 2-meter as well as the 3-meter distances. Locations of the 116 survey scans are shown on maps FRO II 1-16b, 16c, 16d, 16e, and 16f (Attachment 1).

The ISOCS scans were configured to ensure 100% scan coverage of all exposed surfaces within Survey Unit 16. The survey instruments used arm listed by model and serial number in Attachment 2 (Table 2-1). Scan MDCs are also listed in Attachment 2 (Table 2-2) and are compared to the DCGL, the investigation level, and the DCGLEmc. The scan MDC is less than the scan investigation level, thus providing high confidence (95% or higher) that an elevated area would be detected in the scanning process. Further, since the investigation level was always less than te design DCGLEmc, no EMC sample size adjustment was necessary.

SURVEY RESULTS A total of 42 direct measurements were performed in Survey Unit 16. Seven samples contained detectable Cs-I 37 with levels of residual activity greater than the MDA but below the DCGL. Two samples (S005, S008) contained detectable Co-60 activity. All other measurements were below the MDA. The results are presented in Table 2. Per Table 5-7 of the LTP, the Direct Investigation Level for this Class I area was equivalent to the DCGLEMc which is 4.1 pCi/g Cs-137 and 1.5 pCilg Co-60. Investigations were performed for direct samples S005 and S008 despite being less than the LT? investigation levels. The investigation results are discussed in Section D.

ISOCS gamma scans were performed at 116 locations using a Scan Investigation Level of 1.0 pCi/g Cs-137 and 0.36 pCi/g Co-60. The gamma scans were performed for a sufficient count time to achieve a Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) of approximately 35% of the DCGL. All identified scan activity levels and MDAs were below the investigation levels, except for C040. The Co-60 value for this scan exceeded the Scan Investigation Level of 0.36 pCi/g and was thus investigated. The Cs-137 result for this scan was much less than the investigation level.

D. SURVEY UNIT INVESTIGATIONS PERFORMED AND RESULTS Based on the scan results, one investigation was required at C040. The result of this scan was a detectable Co-60 value of 0.40 pCi/g which exceeded the Scan Investigation Level of 0.36 pCi/g. The Cs-137 value of 0.54 pCi/g was 54% of the Scan Investigation Level of 1.0 pCi/g. In addition, there were two direct measurements (soil samples S005 and S008) which were investigated. Direct measurement SODS contained detectable Co-60 at 0.54 pCi/g and Cs-137 at 1.53 pCi/g, yielding a unity value greater than one (1.27). Direct measurement S008 contained detectable Co-60 of 0.27 pCi/g, Cs-137 at 0.66 pCi/g, and a unity value of 0.58. A decision to investigate location S008 was made based on a review of the survey data and professional judgment. All investigations consisted of a series of 70 cm ISOCS measurements and soil or concrete sampling.

Direct measurement location S008 was investigated by taking six ISOCS measurements (SOOSE was inaccessible due to the proximity of the BWST pit) and three samples (S00813, D, and F). The arrangement of the investigation measurements is indicated on map XROI 11-16a. As shown in Table 3-1 of Attachment 3, the average of the ISOCS measurements and sample results were all less than the DCGL. However, one sample result exceeded the unitized DCGL (1.19). Based on this result, a decision was made to remediate a 3 m x 3 m area in the vicinity of S008. The remediated area was resurveyed by taking five samples for laboratory analysis and one ISOCS measurement 2 meters from the surface. The as-left survey measurements were all much less than the applicable DCGLs. The arrangement for the final measurements is shown on map XROI 1-1 6c. The final measurement results are shown in Table 3-2 (Attachment 3).

Similar to S008, direct measurement location S005 and scan location C040 were investigated by taking seven ISOCS measurements as indicated on maps XRO1I 1-16a and XRO I 1-16b.

In addition, three samples were obtained around S005 (SO05B, C, and E) and four samples around C040. As shown in Table 3-1 of Attachment 3, the average of the ISOCS measurements and sample results were all less than the DCGL. However, various measurements exceeded the unitized DCGL at both locations. A review of the survey data and an inspection of the survey area indicated that the contamination extended between S005 and C040. Based on this, a decision was made to remediate the area shown on map XRO1 11-16d. The remediated area was resurveyed by taking six ISOCS measurements and six corresponding volumetric samples. The as-left survey measurements were all well below the applicable DCGLs. The arrangement for the final measurements is also shown on map XR011 1-16d. The final measurement results are shown on Table 3-2 (Attachment 3).

E. SURVEY UNIT DATA ASSESSMENT An analysis of the direct sample measurement results, including the mean, median, standard deviation, and sample result range, is provided in Table 2. Positively detected values are bolded in the table. Of the 42 soil samples collected, seven identified detectable Cs-137 activity below the DCGL value of 2.39 pCi/g and two samples identified detectable Co-60 activity below the DCGL value of 0.86 pCi/g. All other values were below the MDA.

Identified sample activities or Minimum Detectable Activities are listed in Table 2. The mean and median activities were less than the DCGLs for both Cs-1 37 and Co-60. The average of the unity values was 0.145 pCi/g, indicating that the direct measurements averaged 14.5% of the DCGL limit Two of the direct measurements, S005 and SOOS, were investigated. S005 had a unity value exceeding one, and S008 was evaluated primarily because of it's proximity to S005. In addition C040 was investigated because it's Co-60 measurement result exceeded the Scan Investigation Level. The investigation results were discussed in Section D.

For illustrative purposes, as indicated in LTP Section 5.9.3, a simplified general retrospective dose estimate can be calculated from the average residual contamination level by subtracting the mean fallout Cs-I 37 value (0.19 pCi/g)2 for disturbed soil from the survey unit sample mean activity (0.122 pCi/g). This would equate to an annual dose rate of 0.0 mrem/y.

Taking into account the average residual contamination level for Co-60, the annual dose rate would equate to 0.71 mren/yea. Also, for purposes of demonstrating compliance with the radiological criteria for license termination and the enhanced State of Maine criteria, background activity was not subtracted from the sample analysis activity values.

F. ADDITIONAL DATA EVALUATION Attachment 4 provides additional data evaluation associated with this Survey Unit, including relevant statistical information. Based on survey unit direct measurement data, this attachment provides the Sign Test Summary, Quantile Plot, Histogram, and Retrospective Power Curve.

I. The Sign Test Summary provides an overall summary of design input (Table 1)and resulting calculated values used to determine the required number (N) of direct measurements (per LTP Section 5.4.2). The Sign Test Summary is a separate statistical analysis that also calculates the mean, median, and standard deviation of the direct measurements.

The critical value and the result of the Sign Test are provided in the Sign Test Summary table, as well as a listing of the key release criteria. The direct measurements clearly pass the Sign Test, although a unity value exceeded one. This point as well as another were investigated as discussed in Section E. All other subject release criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the sample standard deviation is smaller than the design sigma; therefore, no additional samples were required.

2 See Attachment E to Maine Yankee Procedure PMP 6.7.8 (Reference 2).

This annul dose equivalent is based on LTP Table 6-11, which shows the RA contaninated soil contribution (for soils contaminated at the DCGL) to be 7.67 mrnrly. herefore, the annual Co-60 dose rate would equate to (0.0792)

Annual DosePWte =7.67x 0 =0.7lmremly 0~.86)

FR-Cl 11-16, Revision 0 Page 6 of31

2. The Quantile Plot was generated from the unity data listed in Table 2. The data set and plot are consistent with expectations for a Class I survey unit. One of the measurements exceeded the unitized DCGL for land inside the restricted area.
3. A Histogram Plot was also developed. This plot shows a log-normal distribution with two outliers.
4. A Retrospective Power Curve was constructed, based on FSS results. The curve shows that this survey unit having a mean residual activity at a small fraction of the DCGL has a high probability ("powerz) of meeting the release criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the direct measurement data support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and that the data quality objectives were met.

G. CHANGES IN INITIAL SURVEY UNIT ASSUMPTIONS ON EXTENT OF RESIDUAL ACTIVITY The survey was designed as a Class 1 land survey area; the FSS results were consistent with that classification. The direct measurement sample standard deviation was less than the design sigma. Thus; a sufficient number of sample measurements were taken and no additional measurements were required.

IL LTP CHANGES SUBSEQUENT TO SURVEY UNIT FSS The FSS of Survey Unit 16 was designed, performed and evaluated in the March 2005 time frame. The design was performed to the criteria of the LTP Revision 4 (Reference 1). No subsequent LTP changes with potential impact to this survey unit need to be evaluated.

I. CONCLUSION The FSS of this survey unit was designed based on the LTP designation as a Class I area.

The survey design parameters are presented in Table 1. The required number of direct measurements was determined for the Sign Test in accordance with the LTP. As presented in Table 2, all direct measurements, except for S005, were less than the unitized DCGL. There was an investigation of two direct measurements. The areas were remediated. The as-left measurements were all less than the unitized DCGL.

A Sign Test Summary analysis demonstrated that the Sign Test criteria were satisfied, although a unity value exceeded one. An investigation survey was performed to bound the contamination. The area was remediated and verified that no activity existed greater than the DCGL. The direct measurement sigma was determined to be less than that used for design, thus indicating that a sufficient number of samples was taken.

The Retrospective Power Curve shown in Attachment 4 confirmed that sufficient samples were taken to support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and the data quality objectives were met. Attachment 4 also revealed that direct measurement data represented essentially a log-normal distribution with two outliers.

FR-O 1-16, Revision 0 Page 7 of 31

The scan survey design for this survey unit was developed in accordance with the LTP Revision 4 (Reference I) with significant aspects of the design discussed in Section B and Table 1. ISOCS scans performed at a distance of 2 or 3 meters in a systematic grid pattern throughout the survey unit and identified one measurement (at C040), a Co-60 value, which was above the Scan Investigation Level of 0.36 pCi/g Co-60. There were no Cs-137 scan measurements which exceeded the Scan Investigation Level of 1.0 pCi/g Cs-1 37. Post remediation data for C040 indicated no activity in excess of the DCGL.

It is concluded that PR-0 11 Survey Unit 16 meets the release criteria of IOCFR20.1402 and the State of Maine enhanced criteria.

MAINE YANKEE FINAL STATUS SURVEY RELEASE RECORD FR-2600 ELECTRICAL DUCT BANKS AND MANHOLES SURVEY UNIT 1 A. SURVEY UNIT DESCRIPTION The survey area consists of electrical cable duct banks located throughout the developed portion of the Maine Yankee site both inside and outside of the Restricted Area (RA).

Survey Unit 1 encompasses the entire survey area. The accessible portions of Survey Unit I are the concrete manhole (MW) and handhole (11) structures. These structures are essentially concrete vaults. There are seven manhole vaults and twelve handhole vaults in Survey Unit 1. Total surface area of Survey Unit 1 is approximately 5,396 m2. This area includes the interior surface area of the conduits and vaults.

Survey Unit 1 consists of the remaining duct banks, manholes, and handholes located within the North end of the developed site (also known as Balance of Plant Land) and the North end of the Restricted Area. Survey area FR-2600 is shown in relation to the Maine State Coordinate System (West Zone) NAD 1927 on survey map FR 2600-1 SITE (Attachment 1).

The duct bank manholes and handholes of Survey Unit I are shown on map FR2600-1 REF (Attachment 1).

B. SURVEY UNIT DESIGN INFORMATION The majority of the remaining duct banks, MHs, and HHs were located outside the RA during plant operation and were not used to transport any contaminated media. During site demolition, removable contamination samples were obtained when possible on electrical cables as they were removed from the duct banks. The cable surveys, although limited in quantity, provided a qualitative indication of inaccessible contamination levels present within the conduits with negligible results. Based on these facts, it was judged that there is a low probability that the duct bank system would contain residual contamination at levels above a small fraction of the DCGL and the system was designated a Class 3 survey unit.

The accessible surfaces of this survey area consist mainly of the concrete manhole and handhole vaults. The vaults generally make up the low points for this survey area. As such, the MHs and HHs have the highest potential for containing residual radioactivity and data obtained in the vaults should be representative of the residual activity in the duct banks' conduits. Therefore, as discussed previously with the NRC, the measurements obtained in this survey unit will be taken on the interior surfaces of the MH and HH vaults.

Prior to surveying manhole MH-1 and handhole HH4 it was discovered that the top and side of the manhole were damaged and the handhole had been removed. An evaluation concerning potential contamination of MH-1 as a result of the broken top/wall concluded that the manhole was not impacted by plant-derived materials and met the requirements for a Class 3 area (Reference 6). Due to the removal of HH-4, one direct measurement had to be relocated. The new measurement location was determined randomly consistent with the following discussion.

FR-2600-o1, Revision 0 Page 2 of 33

The survey unit design parameters are shown in Table 1. Given a relative shift of 3.0, it was determined that 14 direct measurements were required for the Sign Test. The measurement locations were based on a randomly generated point as illustrated on maps FR2600-la through Ik (Attachment 1). All direct measurements were obtained using a Ludlum 43-68 detector. Although not part of the release decision, soil samples were also collected from locations where soil or sediment existed in the bottom of the vault and analyzed by laboratory gamma spectroscopy instrumentation.

In accordance with the LTP, scans covering 1-10% of the 5396 m2 area were required for the Class 3 survey unit. This was accomplished by use of an in situ gamma spectroscopy detector (ISOCS) configured to ensure 100% scan coverage of the accessible handhole and manhole surfaces. The resulting fields of view ranged between 4.2 m2 and 39.0 m2 depending on the size of the vault. The ISOCS detector was positioned perpendicular to the floor surface. Typical configurations of the ISOCS survey scans are shown on illustrations FR2600-11,FR2600-lm, and FR2600-ln.

As previously stated, the ISOCS scans were configured to ensure 100%h scan coverage of the accessible surfaces of the manholes and handholes within Survey Unit 1. With the exception of manhole MH-l (located inside the restricted area), the ISOCS scans were performed with a detector using no collimation. Manhole I required a different ISOCS detector using the 180 degree shield configuration with the back shield installed, to eliminate possible streaming effects from the adjacent Class I FR-01 I I Survey Unit 16. The total area scanned was approximately 268 m2 or 5% of the survey unit area.

Background values were established based on ambient background values in the survey unit.

Due to safety considerations in accessing the MH and HH interiors, the average ambient background value shown in Table 1 was determined retrospectively from data obtained during the survey. This value was used to establish the net activity for the direct measurements. All daily background values fell within the procedural tolerance of the Table 1 average value.

The survey instruments used are listed by model and serial number in Attachment 2 (Table 2-1). Scan MDCs are also listed in Attachment 2 (Table 2-2) and are compared to the DCGL and the investigation level. The scan MDC is less than the scan investigation level, thus providing high confidence that an elevated area would be detected in the scanning process.

SURVEY RESULTS A total of 14 direct measurements were performed in Survey Unit 1. All results were less than the DCGL. Upon review of the direct measurement data, it was noted that the technician had made a comment that several of the direct measurement locations were "damp." An efficiency correction for damp concrete (0.049 vs 0.13 c/d) was applied which resulted in several of the direct measurement results exceeding the investigation criterion (greater than 0.5 DCGL). In the case of the duct banks, the scan surveys were performed by in situ gamma spectroscopy, which is not affected by dampness, with no evidence of plant-derived radionculide activity present above the investigation level. Because the nuclide-specific scan survey did not identify either Cs-137 or Co-60 (or any other gamma emitter),

the direct measurement results were not further investigated.

ISOCS gamma scans were performed in 19 vaults using an investigation level of 4,430 dpxnll 00 cm2Cs-137 and 470 dprnml00 cm 2 Co-60 (approximately 50% oftheDCGL). The gamma scans were performed for a sufficient count time to achieve a Minimum Detectable Activity (MDA) of approximately 10% of the DCGL All scan activity values were below the investigation levels. An evaluation was performed to determine the attenuation effects of water and sediment on the floor. The evaluation concluded that water levels (0.5" to 2.0') in the vaults did not cause the MDAs to exceed the prescribed investigation level. The evaluation also concluded that for the worst case sediment depth (5.0"), the MDA exceeded the investigation level for the floor area However, the associated sediment sample showed no detectable Co-60 or Cs-137. Therefore, no investigation surveys were required based on the scan results.

1. A dry concrete surface eMciency of 13% was applied on all locations except damp locations C003, C006, C007, and C009-CO12, where an efficiency of 4.9% was used.
2. Net acffvity calculated by adjusting the gross cpm by the ambient bakround.

Material background correction was not applied.

D. SURVEY UNIT INVESTIGATIONS PERFORMED AND RESULTS Based on the direct and scan results, no investigations were required.

FR-2600-0l, Revision 0 Page Sof 33

E. SURVEY UNIT DATA ASSESSMENT An analysis of the direct sample measurement results, including the mean, median, standard deviation, and sample result range is provided in Table 2. None of the 14 direct measurements indicated activity above the DCGL of 9,800 dpm/l 00 cm2 . Measurement activities corrected for ambient background are listed in Table 2. The mean and median activities were less than 50% of the DCGL. The maximum direct sample result with background subtracted was equivalent to 2,857 dpm/100 cm2 . Without subtracting background, all direct measurement results were below the DCGL. The maximum net activity level was 29% of the DCGL.

The ISOCS scan measurements did not detect plant-derived activity in excess of the MDAs.

Therefore, no investigations were required.

The annual dose rate would equate to 0.0004 mrem/year2, using a mean net activity level of 1,632 dpmrl00 cm2.

F. ADDITIONAL DATA EVALUATION Attachment 4 provides additional data evaluation associated with this Survey Unit, including relevant statistical information. Based on survey unit direct measurement data, this attachment provides the Sign Test Summary, Quantile Plot, Histogram, and Retrospective Power Curve.

1. The Sign Test Summary provides an overall summary of design input (Table 1)and resulting calculated values used to determine the required number (N) of direct measurements (per LTP Section 5.4.2). The Sign Test Summary is a separate statistical analysis that also calculates the mean, median, and standard deviation of the direct measurements.

The critical value and the result of the Sign Test are provided in the Sign Test Summary table, as well as a listing of the key release criteria. As shown in the table, key release criteria were satisfied, with one exception. An "Investigate" flag was produced because the direct measurement sigma exceeded the design sigma; however, sufficient power is evident since the survey unit easily passed the Sign Test.

2 This annual dose quivaent is based on LTP Table 6-11 which shows te To Annual Dose from Buried Piping, Conduit, and Cable to be 2.52E.03 mremly. Therefore, the annual dose rate would equate to

( 1,632 Annuwl Dose Rate = 2.52E - 03r 9,80013) 0.004mrem l y FR-2600-01, Revision 0 Page 6 of 33

2. The Quantile Plot was generated from the direct measurement data listed in Table 2 and indicates general symmetry about the median. The data set and plot are consistent with expectations for a Class 3 survey unit. All of the measurements are below the DCGL.

The net activity levels were less than 50°/h of the DCGL.

3. A Histogram Plot was also developed based on the direct measurement activity values.

This plot shows a normal distribution.

4. A Retrospective Power Curve was constructed based on FSS results. The curve shows that this survey unit having a mean residual activity at a small fraction of the DCGL has a high probability ("power") of meeting the release criteria. Thus, it can be concluded that the direct measurement data support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and that the data quality objectives were met.

As mentioned in Section B,.soil or sediment samples were taken in handholes or manholes, where sufficient material existed, in order to provide further confidence that plant-derived materials were not present at levels exceeding the DCOL on the bottom of the vault. Three of the seven samples obtained identified plant-derived nuclide at trace levels (less than 0.47 pCi/g Cs-137).

G. CHANGES IN INITIAL SURVEY UNIT ASSUMPTIONS ON EXTENT OF RESIDUAL ACTIVITY The survey was designed as a Class 3 structure survey area; the FSS results were consistent with that classification. The sample standard deviation is larger than the design sigma, but no additional samples were required since all samples were less than the DCGL.

H. LTP CHANGES SUBSEQUENT TO SURVEY UNIT FSS The ESS of Survey Unit 1 was designed, performed, and evaluated from late 2004 to early 2005. The design was performed to the criteria of the approved LTP Revision 3 Addenda.

There were no subsequent LTP changes with potential impact on the design, conduct, or assessment of the final status survey of Survey Unit 1.

FR-2600-01, Revision 0 Page 7 of 33

1. CONCLUSION The FSS of this survey unit was designed as a Class 3 area. The survey design parameters are presented in Table 1. The required number of direct measurements was determined for the Sign Test in accordance with the LTP. As presented in Table 2, all direct measurements were less than the DCGL of 9,800 dpm/l 00 cm2 .

A Sign Test Summary analysis demonstrated that the Sign Test criteria were satisfied. The direct measurement sigma was determined to be greater than that used for design. However, sufficient samples were taken to pass the Sign Test.

The Retrospective Power Curve shown in Attachment 4 confirmed that sufficient samples were taken to support rejection of the null hypothesis, providing high confidence that the survey unit satisfied the release criteria and the data quality objectives were met. Attachment 4 also revealed that direct measurement data represented essentially a normal distribution.

The scan survey design for this survey unit was developed in accordance with the LTP Revision 3 Addenda (Reference 1) with significant aspects of the design discussed in Section B and Table 1. ISOCS scans did not identify activity above the scan MDA levels.

Therefore, no investigations were required as a result of the scan process.

It is concluded that FR-2600 Survey Unit I meets the release criteria of IOCFR20.1402 and the State of Maine enhanced criteria.
