SUMMARY

REPORT Survey Unit: F8000072, Western IA (Barrel Farm west)Survey Unit

Description:

Operating History: This area is located on the west side of the Industrial Area to the north of the retention basins and south of the IOSB. Specifically, -700 square meters west of the historic location of the barrel omitted from survey coverage in F8000071 and F8000121.

Operating records and the HSA document no specific release of radioactivity in these survey areas however this area does border known contaminated areas. The HSA recorded no specific unplanned release events.

Radioactive material may have been temporarily stored in this area.Site Characterization:

Soil and sediment samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of plant-derived radionuclides.

Cs-137 was the only detected nuclide of plantorigin with a mean activity level of 0.062 pCi/g and a maximum value of 0.299 pCi/g.(Site background levels of Cs-137 have been determined to be approximately 0.312 pCi/g.) As described in section 2 of the LTP, the area was evaluated using DSIP-0020 and was designated as Class 3..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 mays in Attachment

1. Direct measurement locations were randomly determined and 35 m were scanned for approximately 5%coverage.

Soil samples were collected at each direct measurement location and analyzed by HPGe detector.

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 F8000072 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. One of the scan measurements indicated areas of elevated activity.

The observed scan range was 8482-11076 cpm. Soil samples were counted to the MDC shown in Table 2-1 of Attachment 2.Table 2. Direct Measurement Results (all activity values in pCi/g)Measurement ID Cs137 MDA Cs137 Activity Uncertainty Mean: 6.87E-02 Median:

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 F8000072 Table 3.

Yes The survey unit passes all conditions?

Yes Page 6 of 7 FSS Summary Report F8000072 Survey Unit Investigations and Results: One investigation (scan grid # 02) was required for the scan measurements and the results are reported in Attachment 3.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 3 land survey and the sample results are consistent with that classification.

The variability of the survey results was less than the characterization data used for survey design. One potential area of elevated activity was detected and evaluated as shown in Attachment 3.Conclusion:

The FSS of this survey unit was properly designed as a Class 3 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. One investigation was 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 F8000072 meets the release criteria of 1OCFR20.1402.
