Survey Area Requirements Final Status Survey, Release Record North 11C 1 1 North Radwaste Staging Area Survey Description Final Status Survey North 11C,1 encompasses 1339 m2 in the northern section of old radwaste staging area. No materials of plant origin remain in the survey area.
History During power operations the Radwaste Staging Area was used to store, process, and prepare plant radioactive waste for offsite shipment. No materials of plant origin remain in this location.
Surveys conducted following excavation and removal of foundations and subsurface components have determined that residual radioactivity does not exist in soils below grade elevation in this area (Survey 11Cqi 1). A detailed review of the history and radiological characterization of Survey Unit North 11 is provided in Appendix 2B and 2E of the LTP (License Termination Plan).
Current Radiological Status Characterization surveys and radiological evaluations following removal of subsurface components and materials do not indicate the presence of elevated levels of residual radioactivity in this survey area. Based on operational history, process knowledge, and survey measurements, the radiological status of this survey unit is Class 1.
Post-Construction Expectations Final Status Survey North 11 Cl will be performed in the following activity sequence:
- 1. Walkdown: Environmental Services Survey Group (ESSG) personnel will perform a walkdown assessment to ensure survey area preparations are complete and confirm that the following post-construction expectations have been satisfied as applicable:
" Groundwater and Surface water control is adequate
- All construction debris has been removed from the survey area
- The survey location status meets all applicable safety requirements
- 2. Survey Area Isolation and Control: Control measures will be established to ensure that any potential ongoing decommissioning activities in adjacent locations do not impact the current survey area status. Isolation and control measures include postings, barriers, access points, and the evaluation of ongoing work activities in adjacent areas.

DATA QUALITY OBJECTIVES Final Status Survey, Release Record North 11C 11 North Radwaste Staging Area STATE THE PROBLEM The Problem:
To demonstrate that the level of residual radioactivity in Class 1 Survey Unit North 11 does not exceed the release criteria of 25 mrem/year Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) as specified in the License Termination Plan (LTP).
Stakeholders:
The primary stakeholders interested in the answer to this problem are Consumers Energy Co., and the general public as represented by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ), and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC).
The Planning Team:
The planning team consists of members of the BRP Environmental Services Survey Group (ESSG). The primary decision maker will be the Final Status Survey Supervisor.
The Final Status Survey Supervisor will obtain input from the site Construction Group and Scheduling Group for issues relating to schedule and costs.
Schedule:
Approximately five (5) working days are projected to implement the survey and to collect and analyze field data.
Resources:
The primary resources needed to determine the answer to the problem are two (2) technicians to perform fieldwork, one (1) technician to prepare the samples and conduct laboratory analyses, and two (2) survey team members to prepare and review the design, generate maps, coordinate field activities and evaluate data.
- 2. IDENTIFY THE DECISION Several decisions need to be defined to address the stated problem.
PrincipalStudy Question (1):
Does the mean concentration of residual radioactivity in the survey unit exceed the release criteria stated above?
Decision (1):
Determine whether the mean concentration of residual radioactivity in the survey exceeds the release criteria stated in the problem.
Actions (1):
Alternative actions include failure of the survey unit, remediation, or no action required.
Data Quality Objectives FSS North I1C1C Page 1 of 5
PrincipalStudy Question (2):
Do any areas of elevated activity in the survey unit exceed the release criteria?
The Decision (2):
Determine if any areas of elevated activity in the survey unit exceed the release criteria.
Actions (2):
Alternative actions include confirmation and investigation, performing the elevated measurement comparison (EMC), remediation, or no action required.
PrincipalStudy Question (3):
Is the potential dose from residual radioactivity in the survey unit ALARA as stated?
The Decision (3):
Determine if the potential dose from residual radioactivity in the survey unit is ALARA.
ALARA requirements for soil remediation are defined in Chapter 4 of the LTP.
Actions (3):
Alternative actions include remediation or no action required.
- 3. IDENTIFY INPUTS TO THE DECISION Information Needed:
Characterization measurements are required to define the radionuclides present and determine the extent and variability of residual radioactivity in the survey area for design and implementation of the survey. Survey area classification, ALARA analysis, potential radionuclides of interest, and site-specific DCGL values are also required inputs to the decision process. The primary information required for evaluation is the analytical results of survey measurements.
Source of the Information:
The soil sample data to be used for survey development are the radionuclide-specific measurements of representative soil samples collected for radiological characterization and excavated soil surveys conducted to determine suitability for transport of excavated soil to the SVA. The soil samples obtained were judgmentally selected as a result of multiple surveys conducted during the excavation and transport process. The ALARA analysis for potential soil remediation is provided in LTP, Section 4.4. Site-specific DCGL values and BRP radionuclides of interest are defined in LTP Chapter 5, Table 5-1 and Procedure RM-76, Final Status Survey Design.
The survey will be conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory guidance as established in LTP Chapter 5 for Class 1 areas. Soil samples will be utilized for radionuclide-specific measurements in this evaluation.
- 4. BOUNDARIES OF THE STUDY Boundaries of the Survey:
The target population for this survey is the total thickness of prepared soil in the survey area of 1339 M 2 .
Data Quality Objectives FSS North IIC 1I Page 2 of 5
Temporal Boundaries:
Scanning and sampling in this survey unit will only be performed during daylight hours under dry weather conditions. Surface soils must be free of significant snow cover and standing water prior to surface scanning. Soils must be in a non-frozen state or fragmented for collection to satisfy BRP procedural sampling requirements. The anticipated start date for the survey is September 26, 2006.
Constraints:
Cold weather or rainy conditions may effect the operation of electronic equipment.
Adverse weather conditions that include accumulations of rain or snow may limit area access and delay survey efforts.
- 5. DEVELOP A DECISION RULE The following decision rules have been developed to define a logical process for choosing among alternative actions for the principal study questions associated with this survey area.
Decision Rule (1):
If all reported concentrations for residual radioactivity are less than the site-specific DCGL's and the unity rule has been satisfied for each sample, then the survey unit meets release criteria. No further action is required.
Decision Rule (2):
Ifthe mean value of activity in the survey unit is greater than the DCGL, then the survey unit fails to meet the release criteria.' Remediate, resurvey, and evaluate the results relative to the decision rule.
Decision Rule (3):
If the mean activity in the survey unit is less than the DCGL and any individual sample measurement exceeds this value, conduct the Sign Test and the elevated measurement comparison (EMC) per LTP, Chapter 5 and Procedure RM-76, Final Status Survey Design. Ifthe EMC and the Sign Test have been satisfied then the survey unit meets the release criteria and no further action is required. Ifthe EMC or the Sign Test has not been satisfied then remediate the area(s) of elevated activity, resurvey as appropriate, and evaluate the results relative to the decision rule.
Decision Rule (4):
If the potential dose from residual radioactivity in the survey unit is ALARA, then no further action is necessary. Ifthe potential dose from residual radioactivity in the survey unit is not ALARA, then remediate and resurvey.
- 6. SPECIFY TOLERABLE LIMITS ON DECISION ERRORS The Null Hypothesis:
It is assumed that residual radioactivity in the survey unit exceeds the release criterion.
1 When multiple radionuclides are present the mean activity value is determined as the average of the weighted sum. The DCGL of the weighted sum is 1.
Data Quality Objectives FSS North 11C, 1 Page 3 of 5
Type I Error(a ):
The a error is the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypotheses when it is true.
The a error is defined in the LTP at a value of 0.05 (5%) and cannot be changed to a less restrictive value unless prior approval is granted by the USNRC. The a error value of 0.05 will be used for survey planning and data assessment for this survey area.
Type // Error(8):
The /8 error is the probability of accepting the null hypothesis when it is false. A value of 0.05 (5%) will be used for survey planning and data assessment for this survey area.
The Lower Bound of the Gray Region (LBGR):
The LBGR is initially set at one-half the DCGLw for this survey unit. The LBGR may be adjusted during survey design to achieve an optimum relative shift between 1.0 and 3.0.
Relative Shift (A/a):
The relative shift will be maintained within the range of 1.0 and 3.0 by adjusting the LBGR as appropriate.
- 7. OPTIMIZE DESIGN FOR OBTAINING DATA Statistical Test Sign Test:
Radionuclides of potential plant origin also present in soil as background activity resulting from fallout constitute only a small fraction of the DCGL. Therefore, the Sign Test will be used where applicable in the survey evaluation to determine if the survey area meets the requirements for unrestricted release.
Number of Samples Determined:
The number of samples required for this survey will be determined based on the relative shift as defined by the requirements of the Sign Test (LTP, Chapter 5.) and Procedure RM-76, Final Status Survey Design. The LBGR is initially set at one-half the DCGLw and may be adjusted as necessary for optimizing the survey design to achieve a relative shift between 1.0 and 3.0. Sample point locations are to be determined using a random start, systematic square grid spacing.
Judgmental Sampling:
Co-60 is the most limiting radionuclide for identification by surface scanning; judgmental surface and subsurface core samples will be collected in any location that exceeds the scan investigation level.
Scan Coverage:
Scanning for this survey area will provide 100% coverage.
Number of Samples for Quality Control:
A minimum of 5% of the sample population will be collected for quality evaluation.
These samples may include sample splits, sample recounts, or third party sample analysis. Quality analyses will be conducted as defined in LTP, Chapter 5 and Procedure RM-79, FinalStatus Survey Quality Control.
Data Quality Objectives FSS North 1-1C,1 Page 4 of 5
Additional Sample Analysis Requirements:
The area of soil excavation intersects the identified waterborne pathway for Tritium migration and shall require Tritium in soil analyses for a minimum of 10% of the sample population. Soil samples will be collected in the same random locations as those selected for QA/QC evaluation and sent to an independent laboratory for Tritium analysis. Data results will be provided in the survey package.
Investigation Levels:
Investigation levels defined in LTP, Chapter 5 and BRP Procedure RM-76, Final Status Survey Design, shall be conservatively established for this survey as shown below:
The investigation levels for soil sample measurements are meant to include any individual radionuclide result greater than the site-specific DCGL or where the combined radionuclide values exceed the unity rule. Co-60 is the most limiting radionuclide for identification by surface scanning; further investigation will be initiated at any location that exceeds the Co-60 Scan DCGL of 1818 CPM above background as detailed in the survey design.

Sample Locations Sample locations are selected in a random start, systematic square grid pattern with the southwest corner of the survey unit as origin (X=0, Y=0). Two numbers between 0 and 1 have been randomly selected and then applied to the survey unit maximum X and Y dimensions to determine the random start location as shown below:
Table 2 Random Numbers Random #, X Axis Random #, Y Axis 0.619105 0.748234 Survey Unit Dimensions: X = 45 meters Y = 30 meters Random Start Location X = (0.619105)(45) = 27.9 meters With SW Corner Origin: Y = (0.748234)(30) = 22.4 meters Sample Spacing As a conservative measure sample spacing will be calculated based on 18 samples for this survey. Samples are located in a systematic square grid pattern with sample spacing determined by the following:
LA n
Where: A= area of survey unit, and n = number of samples.
,1339 L =F - 8.6 meters 18 With sample spacing established at 8.6 meters, 15 data points are available for this survey.
Data point locations are identified in Attachment 2.
QAIQC Sampling A minimum of 5% of the sample population and 5% of the scan survey area are required to be selected for QA/QC verification in accordance with BRP Procedure RM-79, Final Status Survey Quality Control. As a conservative measure, three (3) soil samples and 10% of the scan survey area will be selected for QA/QC evaluation. Data point locations for soil samples will be determined by random number selection.
The QA/QC scan starting point and track direction are also determined by random number selection. The first random data point selected will identify the scanning start point and the second random data point will determine the direction in which the scan will track. QA/QC location results are provided in Table 3 below:

The Scan MDc has been established at fractional values of the DCGLw for typical background activity levels at Big Rock Point. Scan MDC values for varying backgrounds are provided in Attachment 3. The investigation level for identification of potential areas of elevated activity in this survey area will be the Scan DCGL as defined by the following:
Scan DCGL = Detector Rating CPM . Exposure Model uR/hr
- DCGLw uR/hr pCi/g Scan DCGL for Co-60 = 1818 CPM Scan DCGL for Cs-137 = 3518 CPM Where:1 Detector Rating = 1200 CPM Cs -137 and 565 CPM Co -60 uR/hr uR/hr Exposure Model = 1.229 uR/hr Cs-137 and 5.029 uR/hr Co-60 5pCi/g 5 pCi/g DCGLW = 11.93 pCi/g Cs-137 and 3.21 pCi/g Co-60 The DCGLw for Co-60 is the most limiting value for scanning measurements performed to identify areas of potentially elevated activity. Scanning conducted for this survey will assume all residual radioactivity to originate from Co-60 and the instrument response at the Co-60 DCGLw (1818 cpm) will be used as the scanning investigation level for FSS North 11C11.
