SUMMARY

REPORT Survey Unit: F834001 1, Industrial Area Railway Survey Unit

Description:

The rail system was used to transport radioactive material from the site to the out of state waste disposal facilities. Even though the packages met DOT requirements for shipment, there is the potential for a small amount of contamination to be deposited along the rail right of way. There were no reports of rail contamination in the HSA however, during characterization surveys; documented evidence of contamination along the rail spur near the Turbine building was discovered.

A gas proportional detector was used to survey the asphalt surroundinq the rail spur within the IA. The mean value for paved surfaces was 3,653 dpm/100 cm with one isolated area discovered by scan to be contaminated to 43 pCi/g Cs-137. This contaminated area (-'3 by 4 meters) was located approximately 15 meters west of the north turbine laydown area (826025).

A 10 by 10 meter boundary has been established surrounding this area of discovery and serves as the boundary for 8340011. Based on the classification procedure (DSIP-0020) and levels of activity reported, the area was determined to be a Class 1 survey unit.Survey Unit Design Information:

The Survey Unit Design Parameters are presented in Table 1 below. The survey unit and measurement locations are depicted on the maps in Attachment

1. Direct measurement locations were determined using a random-start, fixed grid pattern and 100 m 2 were scanned for 100% coverage.

Direct Gamma measurements were collected at each direct measurement location and analyzed by the Genie 2000 Gamma Analyst. The instrumentation used for the survey along with the MDC values are listed in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 in Attachment 2.Page 2 of 7 FSS Summary Report F8340011 Table 1.

The results including mean, median, standard deviation and range are shown in Table 2. All of the direct measurements were less than the DCGL. Two (07 & 08) of the Discrete Particle (DP)scan measurements indicated areas of elevated activity.

Observed activity from the DP scans ranged from 6819 -9323 cpm, while the activity observed from the ISOCS scan measurements were reported at < 0.24 pCi/g Co60 (MDA) and < 0.204 pCi/g Cs137.Gamma Direct measurements were counted to the MDC shown in Table 2-1 of Attachment 2.Table 2.

The survey design required 16 direct measurements for the Sign Test. The critical value and the results of the Sign Test are presented in Table 3. The sample mean and median values were less than the DCGL. The sample standard deviation was less than the design standard deviation so no additional samples were required.Page 5 of 7 FSS Summary Report F8340011 Table 3.

<= Sigma: Yes Pass the Sign Test? Yes Reject the Null Hypothesis?

Yes The survey unit passes all conditions?

Yes Page 6 of 7 FSS Summary Report F8340011 Survey Unit Investigations and Results: Two investigations (DP scan grids 07 & 08) were required for the scan measurements and the results are reported in Attachment

3. The EMC unity rule was not exceeded as shown in Table 3-1.ALARA Statement:

As stated in Chapter 4 of the LTP, as long as the residual activity within the survey unit is less than the DCGL (i.e. the survey unit average activity is less than the DCGL and the EMC criterion has been met), the ALARA criterion has been met.Changes in Initial Survey Unit Assumptions:

The survey unit was designed as a Class 1 land survey and the sample results are consistent with that classification.

The variability of the survey results was less than thecharacterization data used for survey design. Two potential areas of elevated activity were detected and evaluated as shown in Attachment

3. Therefore the EMC criterion was met.Conclusion:

The FSS of this survey unit was properly designed as a Class 1 survey based on Table 5-4 of the LTP. The required number of direct measurements was made and the scan coverage met the requirement of Table 5-6 of the LTP. All of the direct measurements were less than the DCGL. Two investigations were required.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.It is concluded that survey unit F8340011 meets the release criteria of 1OCFR20.1402.
