- s Sheet Pile for Canal Isolation 11 * & Gardian System Installation 12 Unit 2 Remediation 13 * & Waste Shipment Gardian System TBD
- System previously used at Big Rock Point
- Contains 4 Canberra In-Situ Object Counting System (ISOCS) characterized detectors.
- A complete Validation and Verification (V&V) of each detector's characterization file has been completed as part of pre-operational system testing.
- The Big Rock Point Technical Basis Document (TBD) has been revised for Humboldt Bay Power Plant specifics.
- The TBD will be submitted to NRC for review. 14 Caisson Removal Retaining Wall
- Outer water cutoff wall with excavation to remove SFP and install sheet piling for lower caisson removal is the feasibility study provided to CPUC
- Contractor proposed a different alternative using CSM (Cutter Soil Mix) technology but award was bounded by feasibility approach
- CSM alternative may be used in addition to water cutoff wall from the surface for caisson removal 15 CSM Installation Water/Bentooite In j ected L oosens and Sizes So i l ! Water/Cement Injected .!!. Foons CSM Wall *

- Prevents un-shored excavations
- Installed completely from ground level
- Minimizes on-site excavation equipment
- Reduces volume of material to be handled
- Encompasses the spent fuel pool 25
- Challenges to CSM Wall Installation
- Wall construction utilizes displaced soils as part of the construction material
- CSM wall will be left in place at license termination
- Residual activity within the CSM wall will potentially affect future groundwater dose 26 CSM Wall Soil Sampling Geo probe sampling in soils around where CSM wall will be placed Soil impacted by CSM wall 27 I_ Calculating Future Groundwater 28 Dose
- Core bore sampling could assess the activity inventory in the CSM wall to remain and characterize soil outside of the wall
- A basement fill model could be used to determine the potential dose contribution to groundwater from the CSM wall
- The dose contribution from the CSM wall would have to be included with any other dose pathways in demonstrating the area meets the License Termination Rule of 25 mrem/yr plus A LARA NRC Approvals Requirement
- 1) If no activity found in soil, no approval required.
- 2) If activity less than soil DCGL, treat wall as soil and no approval required.
- 3) If activity greater than soil DCGL, use a basement fill model to determine potential dose to groundwater pathway. For number 3, PG&E would submit a request to the NRC for approval of the basement fill model methodology.
Supporting technical information will be provided in a Technical Based Document (TBD) requiring NRC approval.
