SUMMARY
REPORT Survey Unit: F2000001, South Buffer/Outfall Area Survey Unit
Description:
Operating History: This area bordered the release point for non-controlled/unmonitored liquid effluents released from the plant (ie. storm drains). The area extended from the south Industrial Area fence to the South Non-Impacted Area. Operating records and the HSA document the release of radioactivity in this survey area. The HSA recorded several unplanned release events from the RHUT with the potential to contaminate the area.Site Characterization:
Soil and sediment samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of plant-derived radionuclides.
A special gamma scan survey was performed using vehicle-mounted HPGe detectors.
Cs-137 was the. only detected nuclide of plant origin with a mean activity level of 0.129 pCi/g and a maximum value of 0.301 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 and determined to be"not significantly different from background", however based on the history of spills along the south industrial area fence, the area was designated as a Class 3.HSA Events: ODR-740017, 840217, 840317.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 randomly determined and 2268 m 2 were scanned for approximately 1%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 F2000001

The survey design required 14 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 greater than the design standard deviation.
Since both values of sigma resulted in a relative shift greater than three (3), no additional samples were required.Page 5 of 7 FSS Summary Report F2000001 Table 3.

<= Sigma: Investigate Sufficient number of sample acquired Pass the Sign Test? Yes Reject the Null Hypothesis?
Yes.The survey unit passes all conditions?
Yes Standard Deviation vs.design sigma (0.15 vs.0.159) did not alter required number of samples or evaluation outcome.Page 6 of 7 FSS Summary Report F2000001 Survey Unit Investigations and Results: No investigations were required for either direct or scan measurements and no investigation results are reported.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 greater than the characterization data used for survey design. No potential areas of elevated activity were detected; therefore the EMC criterion was met.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. No 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 F2000001 meets the release criteria of 1 OCFR20.1402.
