Dear Sir:

This is to notify you that Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has revised Table 2.3 of its Decommissioning Plan, which is attached to this letter. The purpose of this revision was change the license termination screening values for surface soil, for the radionuclides Niobium-94 and Europium-152, such that they would not exceed the consultation triggers in the Memorandum of Understanding Ieiween The Environmental Protection Agency and The Nuclear regulatory Commission. Specifically, the Concentration for Niobium-94 was changed from 5.8 pCi/gram to 3 pCi/gram, and Europium-152 was changed from 8.7 pCi/gram to 7 pCi/gram.

I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of nmy knowledge. Executed on September 25, 2012.

Sincerely, I icýel J, Curlf, R ator Direct er University Compliance Officer Finance and Operations

  • Plus Chain (+C) indicates a value for a radionuclidewith its decay progeny present in equilibrium. The values care concentrationsof the parent radionuclide,but account for contributionsfrom the complete chain of progeny in equilibriumwith the parent radionuclide(NUREG/CR-5512 Volumes 1, 2, and 3).
    • These values represent surface soil concentrations of individual radionuclides that would be deemed in compliance with the 25 mrem/year (0.25 mSv/year) unrestricted release dose limit in 10 CFR 20.1402. For radionuclidesin a mixture, the "sumn of fractions"rule applies (see Part20, Appendix B, Note 4).
      • Screening values are in units of (pCi/g) equivalent to 25 mrem/year (0.25 mSv/year). To convert from pCi/g to units of Becquerel per kilogram (Bq/kg) divide each value by 0.027. These values were derived based on selection of the 901h percentile of the output dose distribution for each specific radionuclide (or radionuclide with the specific decay chain). Behavioral parameters were set at the mean of the distribution of the assumned critical group. The metabolic parameters were set at "Standard Man" or at the mean of the distribution for, an average mian.
