Science and Education (ORISE) received set 14, whch consisted | The Oak h d g e Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) received set 14, whch consisted of eight water samples received on September 26,2006 from the InQan Point Power Station in Buchanan, New York. Sample analysis was initiated based on your previous hection for handling samples from h s facihty. The final report was delayed untd technical concerns about plutonium in water samples were resolved through analytical testing conducted by RaQological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory. Sample identification and collection data for the samples addressed in &Is report are presented in Table 1. Gamma spectroscopy, the hard-to-detect betas (iron-55, nickel-63, and tritium), technetium-99, total radiostrontium, alpha spectroscopy, plutonium-241, and carbon-14 data are provided in Tables 2 through 8, respectively.

The water samples were frltered through 0.45 micron filter papers. An aliquot was removed for tritium and carbon-14 before aciQfication. An aliquot was removed for alpha analysis and the pH was adjusted to approximately zero using concentrated nitric acid (HN03) and a few drops of hydrofluoric acid (HF). A pH of zero and a few drops of HF should ensure that any plutonium that may be in the sample remains in solution. ORISE analyzed the filtered solid portion of each sample for all the requested alpha isotopes. | ||

SUBJECT:
SECOND INTERIM REPORT FOR REQUESTED ANALYSES OF EIGHT WATER SAMPLES, SET FOURTEEN, FROM THE INDIAN POINT POWER STATION, BUCHANAN, NEW YORK
[INSPECTION REPORT N O . 050-247/2006-0071 [RFTA NO. 06-0011
Dear Mr. Kottan:
The Oak h d g e Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) received set 14, whch consisted of eight water samples received on September 26,2006 from the InQan Point Power Station in Buchanan, New York. Sample analysis was initiated based on your previous hection for handling samples from h s facihty. The final report was delayed untd technical concerns about plutonium in water samples were resolved through analytical testing conducted by RaQological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory. Sample identification and collection data for the samples addressed in &Is report are presented in Table 1. Gamma spectroscopy, the hard-to-detect betas (iron-55, nickel-63, and tritium), technetium-99, total radiostrontium, alpha spectroscopy, plutonium-241, and carbon-14 data are provided in Tables 2 through 8, respectively. The pertinent procedure references are provided in each specific table.
ORISE's Quality Control (QC) requirements were met for these analyses. The QC files are available for your review upon request.
ORISE has removed the Ni-59 data due to problems with the calculation associated with the concentration of h s ralonuclide. ORISE is Qscontinuing the reporting of Ni-59 data untd
&Is problem can be resolved.
The water samples were processed using a deviation to the sample preparation procedure, SP3, Revision 4. The water samples were frltered through 0.45 micron filter papers. An aliquot was removed for tritium and carbon-14 before aciQfication. An aliquot was removed for alpha analysis and the pH was adjusted to approximately zero using concentrated nitric acid (HN03) and a few drops of hydrofluoric acid (HF). A pH of zero and a few drops of HF should ensure that any plutonium that may be in the sample remains in solution. ORISE analyzed the filtered solid portion of each sample for all the requested alpha isotopes.
