Description Survey Unit Release Record Design # Survey Unit #(s) acquisition of survey measurements.

5) Instrument

&ciency determinations are developed in accordance with the BSVLVS-002, WEP 05-006, these determinations are appropriate for the types of radiation involved and the media being surveyed.

EP-1.63 1.63 1) Embedded Pipe (EP) Survey Unit 1.63 meets the definition of embedded pipe for Plum Brook Reactor Facility (PBRF). 2) EP 1.63 is a Class 1, Group 2 survey unit as per the PBRF Final Status Survey Plan (FSSP) and Technical Basis Document (TBD)-06-004.

3) Surveys in EP 1.63 were performed using a scintillation detector optimized to measure gamma energies representative of Cs-137. Sample

1. EP2-5 fiom Survey Request (SR)-13 was referenced for this decision.

4) Survey Instructions for this survey unit are incorporated into and performed in accordance with (LAW) the Babcock Services Incorporated

@SI)/LVS-002, Work Execution Package (WEP)05-006. Survey instructions described in this document constitute "Special Methods" and the survey design used in the Revision # Original Page 1 of 3

- -- FSS Design # EP 1.63 Revision # Original Page 2 of 3 Survey Unit: 1.63 1.1 The subject pipe system is the 6" drain for canal "H. 1.2 EP 1.63 consists of 6" diameter piping that is approximately 10 feet in length. Survey Design Information 2.1 EP 1.63 was surveyed IAW Procedure

1. BSI/LVS-002.

2.2 100% of the 6" ID pipe was accessible for survey. The accessible 6" ID pipe was surveyed by static measurement at one foot increments, for a total of 10 survey measurements.

2.3 Surface

area for the 6" ID piping is 1,459 cm2 for each foot of piping, corresponding to a total 6 ID piping surface area of 14,590 cm2 (1.5 mZ) for the entire length of (approximately 10') of 6" piping.. Survey Unit Measurement LocationsData 3.1 Pipe interior radiological survey forms are provided in Attachment 2 of this release record.

Survey Unit Investigations/Results 4.1 None Data Assessment Results 5.1 Data assessment results are provided in the EPIBuried Pipe (BP) Survey Report provided in Attachment 1.

5.2 All measurement results are less than the Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL) for radionuclide specific EP that corresponds to the 1 mrern/yr dose goal established in Table 3-3 of the FSSP. When implementing the Unity Rule, provided in Section 3.6.3 of the FSSP, and applying the Nuclide Fraction (NF), provided in TBD-06-004, the survey unit that is constituted by EP 1.63 passes FSS.

5.4 Background

was not subtracted from the survey measurements and the Elevated Measurement Comparison (EMC) was not employed for this survey unit.

Co-60 is designated as the primary nuclide of concern for Piping Group 2 per Technical Basis Document TBD-06-004, which would typically lead to a survey design based on the direct measurement of Co-60. The field measurements were acquired using a detector windowed for Cs-137 versus Co-60. The survey results documented in this release record are valid as Cs-137 was present in the nuclide distribution for this pipe group in sufficient abundance and the correct nuclide distribution was used to calculate total activity.

The dose contribution is estimated to be 0.277 mredyr based on the average of the actual gross counts measured.

DQA Check Sheet Design # EP 1.63 Revision # Original Survey Unit # EP I .63 Preliminary Data Review* Answers to the following questions should be fully documented in the Survey Unit Release Record Yes No N/A 1. Have surveys been performed in accordance with survey instructions in the Survey Design? X 2. Is the instrumentation MDC for structure static measurements below the DCGh for Class 1 and 2 survey units, or below 0.5 DCGL for Class 3 survey units? X 3. Is the instrumentation MDC for embeddedlburied piping static measurements below the DCGLW ? X 4. Was the instrumentation MDC for structure scan measurements, soil scan measurements, and embeddedlburied piping scan measurements below the DCGLw, or, if not, was the need for additional X static measurements or soil samples addressed in the survey design? 5. Was the instrumentation MDC for volumetric measurements and smear analysis < 10% DCGLw ? X 6. Were the MDCs and assumptions used to develop them appropriate for the instruments and techniques used to perform the survey? 7. Were the survey methods used to collect data proper for the types of radiation involved and for the media being surveyed?

X 8. Were "Special Methods" for data collection properly applied for the survey unit under review? X 9. Is the data set comprised of qualified measurement resub collected in accordance with the survey design, which accurately reflects the radiological status of the facility?
