OAK RIDGE INSTITUTE

FOR SCIENCE AND EDUCATION

January 19,2006 Mr. Jim Kottan US. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission

Region I 475 Allendale

Road I<ing of Prussia, PA 19406 SUBJECT: FINAL REPORT FOR REQUESTED

ANALYSES OF THREE WATER SAMPLES, SET TWELVE, FROM THE INDIAN POINT POWER STATION, BUCHANAN, NEW YORK [INSPECTION

REPORT NO. 050-247/2006-0071

[RFTA NO. 06-0011 Dear Mr. Kottan: The Oak &dge Institute for

Science and Education (ORISE) received set twelve, whtch consisted of three water samples received

on September

20, 2006 from the Inlan Point Power Station in Buchanan, New

York. Sample analysis was initiated based

on your previous direction

for handlrng samples from thts fachy. The final report was delayed untd technical concerns

about plutonium

in water samples were resolved

through analytical testing conducted

by Ralologcal

and Environmental

Sciences Laboratory.

Sample identification

and collection data for the samples addressed in

thts report are presented

in Table 1. Gamma spectroscopy, the hard-to-detect betas (iron-55, nickel-59/63, and tritium), technetium-99, total

ralostrontium, alpha spectroscopy, plutonium-241, and carbon-14 data are provided in Tables

2 through Table 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. The water samples were processed

using a deviation

to the sample preparation procedure, SP3, Revision 4. The water samples were filtered through 0.45

micron and 0.1 micron fiter papers. An aliquot was removed for tritium and carbon-14 before

acilfication.

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.

The remaining aliquot of each sample

was adjusted to a pH of approximately 2

with concentrated

HN03.
