Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 1.0 Introduction This report presents the results of the final status radiological survey of the Plum Brook Reactor Facility (PBRF) Waste Handling Building (WHB, Building 1133). It is Attachment 6 of the PBRF Final Status Survey Report (FSSR) 1. This attachment describes the WHB, its operational history and final condition for the final status survey (FSS). It describes the methods used in the FSS and presents the results of the survey measurements.
As stated in the PBRF Final Status Survey Plan (FSSP) [NASA 2007], the goal of the decommissioning project is to release the facility for unrestricted use in compliance with the requirements of US NRC 10CFR20 Subpart E. The principal requirement is that the dose to future site occupants will be less than 25 mrem/y. Subpart E also requires that residual contamination be reduced to levels as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). A Derived Concentration Guideline Level (DCGL) for residual surface contamination has been established for the WHB. Considering the radionuclide mixture established for the WHB, the gross beta DCGL is 40,051 dpm/I00-cm2.
The survey measurement results and supporting information presented herein demonstrate that residual contamination levels in each survey unit of the WHB are well below the DCGL.
Additionally, it is shown that residual contamination has been reduced to levels that are consistent with the ALARA requirement. Therefore, the WHB meets the criteria for unrestricted release.
Section 2.0 of the report provides a description of the WHB. This includes the building layout, its relation to other PBRF buildings and facilities, design and materials of construction, building contents and use, systems and services, building modifications, final configuration for the FSS and scope of the FSS for this building.
A brief history of operations is presented in Section 3.0. A chronology of significant milestones is followed by history of operations with radioactive materials. Post shutdown and decommissioning activities are summarized. Results of radiological characterization surveys in support of decommissioning are presented.
Section 4.0 presents the FSS design for the WHB. This section includes applicable FSS Plan requirements, breakdown into survey units and assignment of MARSSIM classifications. The survey design approach, instrumentation and measurement sensitivities are described.
Survey results are presented in Section 5.0. This section includes a summary of the FSS measurements performed in the WHB survey units, comparison to the DCGL, tests performed and an evaluation of residual contamination levels relative to the ALARA criterion.
Supporting information is contained in Appendices. Appendix A contains photos and schematics to supplement the text. Survey design maps, tables of coordinates and total surface beta measurement results for each survey unit are provided in Appendix B.
The PBRF Final Status Survey Report comprises the report main body and several attachments. The attachments present survey results for individual buildings and open land areas. The entire final report will provide the basis for requesting termination of NRC Licenses TR-3 and R-93 in accordance with 10CFR50.82 (b) (6).

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 2.0 WHB Description The PBRF included a building designed for handling and processing radioactive material, designated as the Waste Handling Building. It was located immediately south of and directly connected to the Fan House (FH, Building 1132). The building comprised a main floor on the 0 ft. elevation, a partial mezzanine at the 9 ft. elevation and a partial basement at the - 13 ft. elevation. The main floor footprint was 4700 square ft. of dimensions 95 ft. (north-south) by 60 ft. (east-west, north end) and 45 ft. (east-west, south end). The WHB is shown on the PBRF site map in Figure 1. Views of the building exterior are shown in Exhibits I and 2 of Appendix A.
The building contained equipment for processing contaminated water, protective clothing, miscellaneous contaminated trash, or dry active waste (DAW), equipment and experiment hardware.
Waste processing activities spanned decontamination, waste shipment and recycling. The WHB included laundry facilities for decontaminating protective clothing. It contained operating areas for processing and packaging radioactive waste for offsite shipment, an evaporator facility for processing high-solids contaminated waste water and work areas for decontaminating reusable equipment and for packaging radioactive waste for storage and shipment. The WHB was designed for operation in close conjunction with the FH and Hot Retention Area (HRA) for processing PBRF radioactive wastes.
The WHB also housed an office area, a laboratory, boiler room, change room, clean and contaminated rest rooms, and a storage area for clean clothing and other items. The WHB connected directly to the Fan House through a basement tunnel and a corridor connection on the first floor.
Health Safety contractor personnel routinely manned the laundry facility and waste preparation areas in the WHB. Roving NASA operators normally attended to evaporator and boiler room operations, including back-shift maintenance.
2.1 Building Construction and Layout The WHB was of steel frame and poured concrete construction. The first floor was constructed with concrete floors and exterior walls of fluted metal panels. Interior walls were constructed of 6 in. concrete block or 3 in. insulated metal panels. Basement walls, floors and ceiling were poured concrete. The ceiling over the north section of the first floor was constructed of concrete and served as the floor for the mezzanine area. The south high bay area and mezzanine ceilings were constructed of 1 1/22 in. metal decking overlaid with a vapor barrier, 1 in. insulation and built up roofing materials - tar and gravel. The roof contained two roof drains and 6 vents or flues in the south roof section and 12 vents or flues, one boiler stack and two roof drains over the north mezzanine section.
The WHB first floor served as the main operating area containing the laboratory, office, restrooms, laundry facility and storage area. A stairwell located in the center of the building connected the first floor and the basement area. A 13'x 10' opening in the west-central section contained evaporator equipment and piping which extended from the basement. A 10'xl 0 1/2' hatchway located in the east-central area of the operating floor provided access for hoisting items to and from the basement. The southeast comer of the first floor high bay area contained 2
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 a separate walled in area for decontaminating materials and packaging items for shipment.
This room was served by an overhead gantry crane.
The northwest section of the first floor contained a boiler room that supplied steam to the evaporator and a corridor to the FH. The central north section housed the laundry room (washer, extractor and dryer), a clean clothes storage room, a contaminated and clean toilet and shower area, and a janitor's closet. The northeast section housed office, laboratory and storage rooms plus corridors.
The basement southeast comer contained the preparation room with an overhead monorail crane, plus a sand hopper on the east side. The southwest comer housed the evaporator room and hot sump. The north side of the basement was a large work area. It contained the laundry sump and sewage sump along the center west wall and the storm drain sump along the northeast wall. A tunnel in the northwest comer connected the WHB basement to the FH basement.
There were several entrances to the WHB first floor in addition to the FH corridor - a personnel door on the west center side north of an adjacent roll-up truck door, a double personnel door on the northeast side, a roll-up truck door on the south side of the boiler room and a large roll-up truck door on the south side of the decontamination room.

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 2.2 Building Systems and Services Building services included a gas fired boiler that provided 100 psi (lb/in. 2) process steam to the waste evaporator and a gas fired water heater that supplied domestic hot water to the WHB. Building space heat was provided by 5 unit heaters (four 80,000 BTU/h and one 60,000 BTU/h). Heating and cooling air was distributed by an HVAC ducting system. Electric service was provided via the FH basement from a transformer located on the east side of the Hot Laboratory Building to a distribution panel located in the WHB basement.
The non-condensable fraction of waste evaporator air exhaust was routed through a header to the Fan House absolute high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter train. It was then exhausted through the Fan House Stack. Air exhaust from the laundry extractor, dryer and laboratory hood were routed through individual HEPA units located on the mezzanine before exhausting through WHB roof vents.
Waste water from cold sinks and the clean restroom was collected by the sanitary sump. This waste water was pumped to the main sewer line west of Line 2 Road (radioactive waste water processing is discussed in Section 3.3). The WHB roof drains emptied directly into the storm drain system; the building footer drains emptied into the cold sump and were pumped to the Lateral C storm drain system.
Three cranes serviced WHB operations. Two 10 ton cranes were located on the operating floor: an overhead rail crane in the high bay and a gantry crane on rails that extended to the loading dock located outside the south rollup door. A two ton monorail crane was located in the basement for support of bulk waste handling and evaporator operations.
2.3 Building Modifications The WHB was operated as designed and built, with only minor modifications after initial startup. The contaminated laundry operation was moved from the Fan House and installed in the WHB in 1964 as part of the WHB process equipment.
2.4 Final Configuration and Scope Configuration of the WHB for the FSS and the period until license termination is controlled by PBRF decommissioning and FSS procedures. The first floor and mezzanine structure was intact, but stripped and vacant for the FSS with utilities and services limited to temporary lighting and power. All equipment has been removed. Exhibits 4 through 9 (also Exhibits 11 and 12) of Appendix A show the condition and configuration of the WHB structure at the time of the Final Status Survey.
The WHB above ground structure excepting the exterior sheet metal walls and the roof has been covered by the FSS in its entirety. The wall sheet metal and roof covering has been removed and disposed of under PBRF decommissioning and radiation protection procedures.
4
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 This material has been segregated for "free release" survey under PBRF radiological control procedures (no detectable activity per Procedure RP-008).
The scope of FSS results reported in this attachment includes building interior surfaces and exterior concrete surfaces. It includes surface attachments, temporary safety covers and small embedded fixtures, for example pipe and conduit stubs. It does not include piping embedded in WHB concrete or piping buried beneath or adjacent to the building. These results are reported in Attachment 9 of the FSS Report (Plum Brook Reactor Facility Final Status Survey Report, Attachment 9).
Embedded piping was removed from the WHB basement floor on grade portion south of the basement stairs. Photos in Exhibit 6, of Appendix A show the configuration of this area at the time of the FSS. The evaporator pit (and sump) and surrounding concrete was removed and disposed of as radioactive waste prior to the FSS of the basement. Views of the evaporator pit area prior to and after concrete removal are shown in Exhibit 7 of Appendix A.
The FSS of the WHB was conducted in two phases. The FSS of interior and exterior above grade structures was performed in 2009. After completion of FSS measurements of the above grade structures, the roof, steel siding and above grade structure were removed.2 The remaining above grade structure was demolished in May 2010. The basement FSS measurements were then performed. Views of the WHB demolition in May 2010 are shown in Exhibit 10 of Appendix A.
3.0 History of Operations A chronology of major milestones is given below. This is followed by a discussion of building operations, post-shutdown and decommissioning activities. Emphasis is on operations with radioactive materials that could affect the final building condition and final status survey.3 3.1 Chronology Major PBRF and WHB milestones are listed below:
1956 - September, groundbreaking for PBRF.
1961 - June, 60 MW Test Reactor critical.
2 Demolition of the WHB, including removal of the above-ground steel structure was performed by Clauss Construction under an approved Work Execution Package. Steel structural support members and sheet metal were segregated for survey under PBRF Radiological Control Procedure RP-008, Radiological Release of Equipment, Material and Vehicles.
Under this procedure, material with detectable surface activity cannot be released; any such material from the WHB is disposed of as radioactive waste. Materials removed from the WHB that meet the RP-008 criterion of no detectable activity is disposed of as industrial waste, or recycled.

3.2 Startup and Operations Construction of the WHB was completed in 1964 after initiation of full power reactor operations in 1963. Upon completion, WHB support systems were immediately incorporated as part of routine reactor operations and utilized throughout the period, 1964-1973. The laundry and decontamination facilities were usually staffed as needed to ensure availability of clean protective clothing and processing of radioactive waste shipments in a timely manner.
The evaporator and boiler were operated on an as needed basis for cleaning up contaminated HRA water and laundry water containing high solids.
Operations in the WHB generated liquid, solid and gaseous radioactive waste. The WHB hot sump collected water from all WHB floor drains; the hot sump pumped to the HRA tanks for waste cleanup and/or controlled disposal. Laundry waste drained to the laundry sump and was pumped to the underground storage tanks 9 through 12 or to HRA tanks 1 and 2 that collected low radioactivity water. The waste evaporator received water from HRA tanks 7 and 8 that collected high solids water. These two HRA high solids tanks were pumped through the WHB hot sump filter to the WHB hot sump.
The hot sump was pumped to the evaporator residue tank. The recycle pump then pumped water from the residue tank to the evaporator. The water was then distributed to the inner steam heated tank wall. The vapors produced passed from the evaporator through a separator to a condenser. The condensed vapor, or condensate, was pumped to the WHB laundry sump where it was returned to the HRA tanks 1, 2 or 9-12 for disposal. Uncondensed gasses were processed through a monitored-controlled ventilation system prior to release. The un-6
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 evaporated water and residue were pumped to a residue tank and continuously re-circulated through a filter. The residue filter was periodically changed out and the material processed as solid radioactive waste.
3.3 Radioactive Materials in the WHB The US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) authorized operations and use of radioactive materials at the PBRF under several licenses. 4 License No.TR-3 (Docket 50-30) authorized the 60 MW test reactor. The 100 KW mock-up reactor was licensed under License No.R-93.
A broad byproduct license (BPL) No. 34-06706-03, authorized possession and use of radioactive materials (byproduct material) produced by the Plum Brook 60MW and Mockup reactors and other radioactive materials. Radioactive materials in the WHB were those originating from PBRF operations and contained in waste water, contaminated equipment and DAW [PBRF 2009].
Gross beta-gamma activity levels seen in the WHB waste water systems ranged from about 1x10-6 to lxl 02 laCi/ml. The highest-water contamination levels occurred during periods of reactor operations with leaking reactor fuel elements. Radioactive material inventories for decontamination and/or waste shipment varied widely in type of material and activity level.
Solid components irradiated in the reactor and irradiated experiment components were often greater than 1 Rem/h (on contact).
Operations and support personnel in the WHB were exposed to direct radiation levels that were much higher than background. These exposures were controlled by procedures and safe work permits and met the facility guidelines and AEC regulations. Other activities such as maintenance on pumps and valves and filter material change out also involved similar direct radiation and contamination levels. During operations, the evaporator solids, de-ionizer resins and reactor and experimental hardware often had direct readings up to 5 Rem/h (oncontact) or higher when preparing them for shipment offsite. Surface contamination levels on equipment and nearby floors were often in excess of 10,000 dpm/100 cm 2 total surface beta activity [NASA 2009].
The Health Safety Operations Office reported unplanned incidents in the Operations Cycle Reports for PBRF related activities. Two events involving WHB activities were recorded:
Cycle 57 - 12/6/1966. The Water Effluent Monitoring System (WEMS) gate was closed due to high activity level. The origin of the high activity was found to be from rain water washing radioactive contamination off a leaking shipping container onto the WHB storage pad. The rain caused runoff to flow to the nearby effluent ditch. Radiation levels up to 60 Rad/hr were noted on the top of the drum. The drum was sealed and the waste handling pad decontaminated (except for a I Oxl 5 ft. area which was resistant to further surface decontamination efforts).
4 Authority for the PBRF reactor and radioactive materials licenses was assumed by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 1975.
7
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 Cycle 90 - 4/1/1969. Barrels in the WHB containing spent resins were found to be leaking water onto the floor. The barrels were tested and found to be defective.
The barrels were secured-watertight and sufficient absorbent material was added to completely absorb the liquid. Procedures were modified to ensure that incoming waste drums are inspected and leak-tested if visual inspections so indicate.
3.4 Disposition of Materials in the Post-Shutdown Period In the period following termination of reactor operations in January 1973 and June 3 0th of 1973, the WHB was placed in standby status similar to the rest of the PBRF. End condition statements were prepared which governed the status of each system for the protected safe shutdown mode. The WHB was left as a radiological white zone, except for the specific areas that could not be effectively decontaminated. 5 All filters (air and water) were removed from filter housings; water systems drained and air systems depressurized and drained. The evaporator and boiler were shutdown. All process piping, tanks and pumps were cleaned and drained. The hot floor drains were sealed closed. The hot sump and laundry sump were deactivated, cleaned and flushed with clean water, dried and sealed. Electric power to pump motors was disconnected, except for the cold sump. This sump was left active to collect footer and storm drainage; the sump was monitored with alarms for high water level. Gas-fired unit heaters were left operational to maintain the building interior at 50 degree F. during cold weather.
The WHB was generally decontaminated; any remaining contaminated areas were clearly identified and properly posted. General building conditions were such that areas were left clean and void of miscellaneous equipment, waste and other materials and supplies. The restroom was taken out of service. Water fountains were deactivated and drained. The building was closed and locked.
The radiological status of the WHB has been investigated on several occasions since the PBRF was shutdown in January 1973. The first of these evaluations was performed by Teledyne Isotopes, Inc. during 1984-86. The results were reported in a 1987 Report [TELE 1987]. The Teledyne Isotopes study reported that with the exception of the waste evaporator area, most of the WHB structure would require only minor decontamination once the contaminated equipment is removed. Direct radiation levels in the WHB ranged from < 0.01 to 5.0 mR/h. Total surface beta contamination levels on building surfaces ranged from 25 to 5,000 dpm/100-cm 2. Removable beta surface contamination levels ranged from non-detectable to 12,000 dpm/100-cm 2. Total surface alpha contamination levels ranged from non-2 detectable to 63 dpm/100-cm. It was reported that no significant removable alpha activity was detected. 6 White zone criteria were as follows: area dose rates such that no individual could be exposed to greater than 5 mrem (whole body) in one hour or greater than 100 mrem in any 40 hour4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> work-week; total and removable beta-gamma and alpha surface contamination levels - not greater than 2 times instrument background.
6 It is noted that the maximum measured removable surface beta contamination level reported is higher than the reported maximum total surface beta contamination level. This is likely because the two types of measurements were not taken in the same locations.
8
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 In 1998, a confirmatory survey that included the WHB structure was performed by GTS-Duratek. The GTS-Duratek survey generally confirmed the results of the Teledyne Isotopes 1985 survey. It reported wide spread low-level surface contamination with total surface beta ranging from < 100 to 4850 dpm/100-cm 2. Removable surface beta levels ranged from <
MDA (12.6 dpm/100-cm2) to 550 dpm/100-cm 2. Removable surface alpha measurements were all < MDA (8.8 dpm/I00-cm 2) [GTS 1998].
3.5 Decommissioning All equipment housed in the WHB was removed and disposed of as contaminated waste or recyclable materials by Montgomery-Watson during 2003 and 2004. All tanks, piping (except embedded piping), pumps, fans, electrical cabinets, instrumentation panels, metal gratings, etc. were shipped for disposal. Subsequently, the WHBI was characterized to identify remediation requirements for the remaining structure. Also, as noted in Section 2.4, the WHB metal roof was removed, surveyed and disposed of in accordance with PBRF radiological control procedures.
In August of 2006, characterization surveys were performed under SR-29. Areas with contamination levels above the DCGL were identified on the floor and walls of the first floor.
Highest measured levels were 77,000 dpm/100-cm2 total and 807, dpm/100-cm2 removable beta activity. Surveys in the basement showed total surface beta activity on the floor of up to 670,000 dpm/100-cm2 and up to 110,000 dpm/100-cm2 removable. Core bore samples were also taken under this SR, which showed activity generally in the top 1" of the floor surfaces, with one core taken on a crack on the 0' elevation showing activity throughout the core.
Decontamination of drain piping beneath the WHB basement floor was performed in 2006 and 2007 by Babcock Services, Inc. (BSI). Surveys for compliance with applicable FSS DCGL's were performed following the decontamination of the piping. The results of these surveys led to the decision to remove the floor drain system during decommissioning. This piping was removed in 2009 by Clauss Construction. Sanitary drain piping, located in Rooms 11, 12, and 6, was surveyed to the structural DCGL and met the release criteria (Survey Unit WH-SANS).
During 2007 and early 2008, MOTA Corporation performed remediation by sponge blasting the walls and ceilings of both elevations, and performing floor shaving. Additionally, extensive remediation was performed in the evaporator pit area. Post-remediation surveys of the evaporator pit showed areas of activity still above the DCGL. Final remediation was not performed at this time.
In the summer of 2008, SAIC performed remediation of areas in the WHB. The crane rails embedded in the first floor by the south roll-up door were removed, as were the rails in the floor on -13 ft. elevation by the evaporator pit. Block walls that were suspected of harboring contamination in the concrete beneath the wall were removed. Additional core bore samples were taken to characterize activity in floor cracks on the first floor (SR-103). Core bores and surveys on the floor/wall seam showed activity above the DCGL which required further remediation.
9
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 In January thru April of 2009, Clauss Construction continued remediation efforts by removing floor sections of the first floor to remove the drain piping that was above the Embedded Pipe DCGL, to remove the concrete floor of the evaporator pit, and to remove the sections of the basement floor/wall seam with activity above the DCGL. The Cold Sump, (also called the Storm Drain Sump) located in the north east area of the basement was also removed. It was determined that volumetric contamination in the south end of the basement was extensive and could not be removed without compromising the structural integrity of the building. The south end of the - 13 ft. elevation of the WHB was removed, including the Evaporator Sump, as part of building demolition in 2010 and segregated for survey and release or disposal as radioactive waste as appropriate (all material found to have detectable contamination was separated from material designated for use as backfill). With removal of the contaminated concrete, FSS of remaining basement floor and lower wall structures was completed in August, 2010. See Exhibits 11 and 12 of Appendix A for views of these areas at the time of the FSS.
4.0 Survey Design and Implementation for the WHB This section describes the method for determination of the number of fixed measurements and samples for the FSS of the WHB. Applicable requirements of the FSS Plan are summarized. These include the DCGLw7, the gross activity DCGL, scan survey coverage and action-investigation levels, classification of areas and breakdown of the survey units. The radiological instrumentation and their detection sensitivities are discussed.
4.1 FSS Plan Requirements The DCGLs for individual radionuclides were obtained for PBRF structures considering exposure to future site occupants from two potential pathways. Single radionuclide DCGLs were calculated using RESRAD-BUILD Version 3.22 for a building reuse scenario. Single radionuclide volumetric DCGLs were calculated for subsurface structures using RESRAD Version 6.21 for a resident farmer scenario. 8 The volumetric DCGLs (in pCi/g) were converted to "effective surface" DCGLs (in dpm/1 00-cm 2) using surface-to-volume ratios for the assumed volume of contaminated subsurface concrete. The DCGL calculations are described in the FSSP, Attachment B. To obtain the DCGLs for PBRF structures, the smaller of the two DCGLs calculated for each of the radionuclides of concern were selected.
A gross activity DCGL is used for structural surfaces in the PBRF, where multiple radionuclides are potentially present in residual contamination. The gross activity DCGL accounts for the presence of multiple radionuclides, including beta-gamma and alpha emitters.
The gross activity DCGL can also account for so-called hard-to-detect (HTD) radionuclides.
The latter are not detected, or detected with very low efficiency, by the beta detectors selected for the FSS of structures.
' The convention used in the MARSSIM is to identify the DCGL used as the benchmark for evaluating survey unit measurement results, as the DCGLw. The "W" subscript denotes "Wilcoxon", regardless of the particular test used (Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, or Sign Test).
8 Potential exposure to future occupants from subsurface structures could occur from contaminated concrete rubble placed as fill and from contaminated intact structures such as the below-grade portion of the Reactor Bioshield.
10
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 The gross activity DCGL for the WHB is calculated using equations in the FSSP for gross beta, gross alpha and surrogate DCGLs, based on the radionuclide mixture in residual contamination. Activity fractions and the gross activity DCGLs for the WHB are shown in Table 1.

Table 3 Notes:
- 1.
The FSSP Table 2-1 identified 23 WHB survey areas. For the FSS, the WHB areas were re-defined to meet FSS Plan classification-based size limits for individual survey units.
This resulted in 29 survey units - all designated as Class 1.
- 2.
The FSS Plan classification was based on area history and available characterization data at the time the FSSP was prepared.
- 3.
The WHB roof and walls were identified as Class 2 areas in the FSSP. As described in Section 2.4, the roof was removed during D&D and is not included in the FSS. The 9 The calculations performed in preparation of this report are documented in a memorandum to the PBRF Decommissioning Project File [PBRF 2010].

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 classification of WH-4-1 was changed to Class I in the survey design process as described in Survey Design 29A (rather than prepare a separate design for a Class 2, it was included in the Class ldesign and surveyed as Class 1 for efficiency).

The Sign Test is selected because background count rates of instruments to be used are equivalent to a small fraction of the applicable DCGLw. 10 Decision error probabilities for the Sign Test are set at a = 0.05 (Type I error) and 3 = 0.10 (Type II error) in accordance with the FSSP.
The Visual Sample Plan (VSP) software was used to determine the number of FSS measurements in the WHB. 11 When the Sign Test is selected, the VSP software uses MARSSIM Equation 5-2 to calculate the number of measurements. Equation 5.2 is shown below:
N =.2 (ZI-a + zl-f, )2 (Equation 1)
Where:
1.2 = adjustment factor to add 20% to the calculated number of samples, per a MARSSIM requirement to provide a margin for measurement sufficiency, N = Number of measurements or samples, a= the type I error probability, 03 = the type II error probability, 10 Background count rates for the LMI 44-116 detector, the instrument of choice for FSS surface beta activity measurements on structures, are in the range of 300 cpm or less for most materials. This is equivalent to about 2500 dpm/100-cm 2; less than 10% of PBRF structure DCGLs (this assumes a detection efficiency of-12%).
)1 The FSS Plan (Section 5.2.4) states that a qualified software product, such as Visual Sample Planc [PNL 20 10], may be used in the survey design process.

The DCGLW in Survey Designs 29B, 49A & 49B is obtained by adjusting the original DCGL (40,051 dpm/100-cm 2) by a factor of 21.5/25 to account for the potential dose contribution of 2.5 mrem/y from deselected-insignificant radionuclides and one mrem/y contribution from embedded piping.
Selection of design input parameters followed guidance in the FSS Plan. The Plan states that "the LBGR is initially set at 0.5 times the DCGLw, but may be adjusted to obtain a value for the relative shift (A/a) between 1 and 3." It is seen in Table 5 that a relative shift value of 3.0 was used in the final calculations for determining N.
The VSP software automatically performs an analysis to examine the sensitivity of N, the number of samples, to critical input parameter values. The following is an example obtained from the VSP report for survey unit WH-1 -4. The sensitivity of N was explored by varying the following parameters: standard deviation, lower bound of gray region (as % of DCGL),
beta, probability of mistakenly concluding that the survey unit mean concentration, p, is greater than the DCGL and alpha, probability of mistakenly concluding that the survey unit mean concentration, p, is less than the DCGL. Table 6 summarizes this analysis. The region of interest is for a = 0.05 (required to be fixed), 0 = 0.10 (may be adjusted) and the LBGR at 80% to 90% of the DCGL. With the LBGR at 90%, doubling a only increases N slightly, from 11 to 12. With the LBGR set to 80%, doubling a causes no increase iriN. The sensitivity of N to an incorrect conclusion that the survey unit will pass (regulator's risk) is quite low; increasing a from 0.05 to 0. 10 and 0.15 and holding a constant at 909 dpm/100-cm2, shows that the number of measurements is 12 or fewer in all cases. These results show that N = 11 represents a reasonably conservative design.

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 Refer to Appendix B for location coordinate tables and scale VSP maps showing measurement locations for each WHB survey unit.
The survey designs also specify scan survey coverage and action levels based on the MARSSIM classification listed in Table 2. If the scan sensitivity of the detectors used in Class 1 survey units is below the DCGLw, the number of measurements in each survey unit is determined solely by the Sign Test. If the scan sensitivity is not below the DCGLw, the number of measurements is increased as determined by the Elevated Measurement Comparison (EMC). As discussed in the next section, the scan sensitivities of instruments used in the FSS of the WHB are below the DCGLw, therefore no increase in the number of measurements above the value calculated using the Sign Test was required.
4.4 Instrumentation and Measurement Sensitivity Instruments to be used in the FSS of each survey unit are selected in each survey design.
Their detection sensitivities must be sufficient to meet the required action levels for the MARSSIM class of each survey unit. Minimum detection sensitivities for static alpha and beta measurements are calculated using the following equation:

tb = Background Count Time (min),
t, = Sample Count Time (min),
A = Detector Open Area (cm 2) and Eot = Total Detection Efficiency (counts per disintegration). The total efficiency equals the product of Detector Efficiency, E, and Surface Efficiency, E,.
Scan sensitivities for detectors which measure alpha and beta surface activity are determined using the following equation:

MDCSca,= Minimum Detectable Concentration (dpm/100-cm 2),

The WHB also contains a soil survey unit, WH-3-1 where the LMI-44-10 Nal detector is used for the scan survey. In accordance with Survey Design 29B and Survey Request SR-173, the scan investigation level was set at 310 net cpm (ncpm). At a nominal background count rate of 200 cpm, this corresponds to an MDC scan of-9.5 pCi/g Cs-137 in surface soil.

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 Modifications to survey instructions are adjusted to account for unusual measurement conditions. Modified detection sensitivities may be applied taking into account adjustments in detector efficiency. Scan speeds may be reduced to ensure that required scan sensitivities are achieved. The bases for adjustments due to non-standard conditions are provided in PBRF Technical Basis Documents. 13 Examples of areas or locations in WHB survey units where special measurement conditions apply are shown in Exhibits 13 through 15 of Appendix A.
5.0 WHB Survey Results Results of the WHB FSS are presented in this section. This includes scan survey frequencies (% of areas covered) for each survey unit and occurrence of events where scan investigation levels were exceeded. Investigations performed and the results are summarized. Fixed measurement results for each survey unit and the results of comparison tests of survey unit maximum and average values with the DCGLw are reported. As discussed below, no statistical tests were required. It is shown that levels of residual contamination have been reduced to levels that are ALARA. This section closes with a summary which concludes that applicable criteria for release of the WHB for unrestricted use are satisfied and all FSS Plan requirements are met.
5.1 Surveys and Investigations Scan survey results were reviewed to confirm that the scan coverage requirement (as % of survey unit area) was satisfied for all survey units. The results of QC replicate scan surveys were also reviewed to confirm that the minimum coverage requirement of 5% was satisfied.
Results of the WHB scan surveys are compiled in Table 8. The table shows that scan coverage requirements were satisfied for all survey units. The table also shows that investigations were performed in three survey units (all WHB survey units are Class 1).
In survey unit WH-1-3, WHB Operating Room Floor, floor Section 3, elevated counts were observed while scanning along a crack and at several small penetrations in the floor concrete.
An investigation revealed that several cracks contained contamination at depth at levels above the surface activity DCGLw. The decision was made to "fail" the survey unit and perform additional characterization and remediation of the impacted floor area. The contaminated cracks were removed by over-coring.
A new survey design (Design 29C) and survey instructions were prepared for WH-1-3. The re-survey was conducted. In preparation for the FSS re-survey of WH-1-3, three additional cracks were observed. An evaluation was performed and the cracks were remediated. 14 Two 13 The PBRF-TBD-07-004 [PBRF 2007a] presents efficiency correction factors developed for the LMI 44-116 detector.
The correction factors are presented as a function of detector-to-surface distance. Application of the factors requires empirical measurements of the effective detector-to-surface distance for areas with non-standard surface conditions as part of the survey unit inspection process.
14 As discussed in Survey Design 29C (Attachment 6), the cracks were evaluated prior to the new FSS Design for Survey Unit WH-3-1. This evaluation included collection and analysis of multiple core bores along each crack, the determination of the volumetric acti'vity in the crack and surrounding concrete. The volumetric activity measurements were also converted to surface activity. Portions of the cracks which exceeded either the volumetric DCGLs for subsurface structures or the surface activity DCGL were removed by over coring.
18
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 remaining areas of elevated activity associated with these cracks were identified and evaluated as part of the FSS. These included an elevated area of < 100 cm 2 detected along the crack identified as Crack #2, located adjacent to the Evaporator Pit hatch. Surface beta activity of 23,000 dpm/-100cm 2 was measured. This is below the DCGLw and no further action was required. In a second elevated area on the floor, adjacent to Crack # 2, about 300 cm 2 in area, surface beta activity of 53,200 dpm/100-cmr2 was measured. As reported in the WH-1-3 release record, the elevated measurement test was performed and the calculated unity value found to be 0.094, hence the EMT was successful.
Two small areas of elevated activity, located on the west wall of the operating floor area were identified and investigated in survey unit WH-1-8. A static surface beta measurement on the first, reported as 30,900 dpm/1 00-cm2, was below the DCGLw. The second was measured to be 74,400 dpm/100-cm2 in an area less than the detector area (126 cm2). The elevated measurement test was performed and as reported in the WH-1-3 release record, the calculated unity value was 0.061. Hence the EMT was satisfied.
While performing a scan survey of the concrete block wall in survey unit WH-1-9, the west wall sections of Rooms 3 and 4, an elevated area was observed and an investigation performed. The surface beta activity was reported to be 7290 dpm/100-cm2, on a very small area, less than the area of the LMI-44-9 pancake detector (12 cm 2) used to obtain the measurement. Since this is < the DCGLw, no further action was required.

Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 5.2 Fixed Measurements and Tests Results of the assessment of WHB FSS total surface beta measurements are presented in Table 9 (individual measurements in each survey unit are reported in Appendix B). The table presents the number of measurements, maximum, average and standard deviation for each survey unit. Table 9 compares the maximum activity measured in each survey unit to the DCGLw. It is demonstrated that all measured activity values are less than the DCGLw, thus all survey units meet the 25 mrem/y release criterion. The mean activity of each survey unit is also compared to the DCGLw, and as expected, are all less than the DCGLw. The average of 316 total surface beta measurements reported in the WHB release records is: 548 +/- 230 dpm/100-cm2 (one standard deviation) [PBRF 2010]. 15 Removable surface activity measurements were also performed at each fixed activity measurement location and counted for gross alpha and gross beta activity. A review of the WHB Release records was conducted to ensure that all smear counting results were less than 10% of the gross activity DCGL. The requirement for PBRF laboratory smear counting instruments is that the MDAs be < 10% of the applicable gross activity DCGL 16. Gross beta and gross alpha counts for all WHB smears were less than MDA.
The survey unit, WH-3-1, addressed surface soil beneath the basement where soil was exposed by concrete excavation to remove embedded drains. This survey unit was designated as class 1. Eleven surface soil samples were collected and analyzed by gamma spectroscopy by the PBRF laboratory. All of the Co-60 results were < MDA (average MDA = 0.11 +/- 0.01 pCi/g). Three of the II samples were positive for Cs-137 (> MDA). They were: 0.214, 0.228 and 0.567 pCi/g. Hence, all Cs-137 and Co-60 sample results are < their respective soil DCGLs. The soil DCGL for Cs-137 listed in the FSS Plan is 14.7 pCi/g and for Co-60 is 3.8 pCi/g. Soil radionuclide activity fractions used in the survey design for WH-3-1 are: Cs-137, 0.9721; Co-60, 0.0016 and Sr-90, 0.0262. Cesium-137 is used as the surrogate for Sr-90. With the surrogate DCGL equal to 13.7 pCi/g, and the Sr-90: Cs-137 activity ratio equal to 0.027, it is determined that based on the maximum measured Cs-137 concentration, Sr-90 is also <
DCGL.
'5 It is noted that in converting total surface activity measurements in cpm to dpm/100-cm 2, the detector background response from surface materials is not subtracted. As a result, the total surface activity measurement results are biased high.
'6 Typical MDAs for PBRF low background smear counting instruments are 14 dpm for alpha and 18 dpm for beta.
Smears cover 100 cm 2, so these MDA values are equivalent to dpm/100-cm 2.

- 1.
The units for: maximum, average and standard deviation are dpm/100-cm 2.
- 2.
Standard deviations of the measurements in each survey unit are reported for comparison to the values used in the survey design. In all the WHB structural survey units, values of a obtained from the FSS measurements are much less than values used in the survey designs (see Table 5). This.
confirms that the survey designs for the WHB were conservative.
- 3.
In the FSS design calculation for survey units developed using VSP; "extra" fixed measurement locations are sometimes added when "fitting" the calculated grid size onto the survey unit layout.
5.3 ALARA Evaluation It is shown that residual contamination in the WHB has been reduced to levels that are ALARA, using a method acceptable to the NRC. The NRC guidance on determining that residual contamination levels are ALARA includes the following:
22
Plum Brook Reactor Facility FSSR, Rev. 0 "In light of the conservatism in the building surface and surface soil generic screening levels developed by the NRC, NRC staff presumes, absent information to the contrary, that licensees who remediate building surfaces or soil to the generic screening levels do not need to provide analyses to demonstrate that these screening levels are ALARA. In addition, if residual radioactivity cannot be detected, it may be presumed that it had been reduced to levels that are ALARA. Therefore the licensee may not need to conduct an explicit analysis to meet the ALARA requirement." 17 Screening level values published by the NRC, as dpm/1 00-cm 2 values for individual radionuclides, are shown in Table 10. In contrast, the FSS of PBRF structures comprise gross beta activity measurements. Thus a direct comparison of WHB residual contamination levels to individual radionuclide screening level values is not possible. However, a comparison can be made to an appropriate screening level-equivalent gross activity DCGL for the mix of radionuclides potentially present in the WHB. A screening level value that is equivalent to the gross activity DCGL was calculated using the equations in Section 3.6 of the FSS Plan."8 The activity fractions listed in Table 1 (also shown in Table 10) were used in the calculation. The screening level equivalent DCGL for the WHB interior is calculated to be 12,591 dpm/100-2 19 cm.
The average total surface beta activity measured in the FSS of the WHIB interior surfaces is 543 +/- 227 dpm/100-cm2 (one standard deviation). The upper limit of the 95th / confidence interval of this mean value is 568 dpm/100-cm 2.20 This value is well below the screening level gross activity DCGL of 12,591 dpm/100-cm2.
Soil activity concentrations measured in survey unit WH-3-1 are compared to NRC surface soil screening level values in Table 11. As shown in the table, all soil activity concentrations are well below their respective screening level values. From these comparisons, it is concluded that the ALARA criterion is satisfied.
17 This guidance was initially published in Draft Regulatory Guide DG-4006, but has been reissued in NUREG-1757 Volume 2, Appendix N.
's The equivalent screening level gross activity DCGL is calculated using an EXCEL template [PBRF 2010]. This template incorporates the equations in section 5.3 of the FSS Plan [NASA 2007].
19 The screening level equivalent gross activity DCGL was also calculated for the default radionuclide mixture applied to the WHB exterior surfaces. This was calculated to be 1182 dpm/100-cm 2. The upper confidence limit of the FSS measurements on the WHB exterior surfaces is 858 dpm/100-cm 2, also less than the associated screening level equivalent DCGL value.
20 The upper limit of the confidence interval, 9 5th percentile value, is calculated as: UL = mean + 1.96 a/'/n, where n 305 measurements.

5.4 Comparison with EPA Trigger Levels The PBRF license termination process includes a review of residual contamination levels in groundwater and soil, as applicable, in accordance with the October 2002 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US NRC and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) [USEPA 2002]. Concentrations of individual radionuclides, identified as "trigger levels" for further review and consultation between the agencies, are published in the MOU.
Maximum activity concentrations of radionuclides of concern measured in the WHB FSS are compared to EPA trigger levels. This comparison is shown in Table 12. The table shows that the measured soil activity concentrations are well below EPA trigger levels. It is noted that groundwater is not within the scope of the WHB FSS.

5.5 Conclusions The results presented above demonstrate that the WHB satisfies all FSS Plan commitments and meets the release criteria in I OCFR20 Subpart E. The principal conclusions are:
" Scan surveys were performed in 100 % of the accessible surfaces of all 29 WHB survey units - all were surveyed as Class 1.
- Residual surface contamination levels requiring investigation were observed in three survey units. One survey unit was determined to have activity in excess of the DCGLw. It was remediated and a new FSS was performed. In two of the survey units, levels above the DCGLw were measured in small localized areas; both passed the elevated measurement test.
- All randomly selected fixed total surface activity measurements are less than the applicable DCGLw
" All survey unit mean fixed measurement results (total surface beta activity) are below the DCGLw, hence no statistical tests were required.
- All removable surface activity measurements are less than 10% of the DCGLw.
- Residual surface activity concentration measurement results are shown to be less than NRC screening level values - demonstrating that the ALARA criterion is satisfied.
- Only minor changes from what was proposed in the FSS Plan were made - the WHB was divided into 29 survey units, whereas the FSS Plan had identified 23 survey areas, not divided in to survey units. One area classified as Class 2 in the FSSP was changed to Class 1 in the FSS design review process (this was done for administrative reasons
- not as a result of new information on contamination levels).
" There were no changes from initial assumptions (in the FSS Plan) regarding the extent of residual activity in the WHB. No reclassification of survey units was required as a result of FSS measurements and investigations.
