OAK RIDGE INSTITUTE
FOR SCIENCE AND EDUCATION
January 12,2007 Mr. Jim Kottan U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission
Regon I 475 Allendale
Road King of Prussia, PA
19406 SUBJECT: FINAL LETTER REPORT FOR
REQUESTED
ANALYSES OF SIX WATER SAMPLES, SET ELEVEN, 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 Ridge Institute for
Science and Education (ORISE)
received set eleven, which
consisted
of six water samples
received on September
11,2006 from the Indlan Point Power Station in Buchanan, New York. Sample analysis was initiated based
on your previous
bection for handhg samples from hs fachty. The final letter report was delayed
unul problems associated with americium and plutonium in water were resolved
by the Intercomparison
Test Program conducted
by the Radlologcal and Environmental
Sciences Laboratory.
Sample identification
and collection
data for the samples addressed
in hs report are presented
in Table 1. Gamma spectroscopy, total
ralostrontium, the hard-to-detect betas (iron-55, nickel-59/63, and tritium), technetium-99, alpha spectroscopy, plutonium-241, and carbon-1 4 data are provided in Tables 2 through 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 filter papers. An aliquot
was removed for
acidification.
An aliquot was removed for alpha analysis and the pH was adjusted to approximately zero
using concentrated
nitric acid (HNO3)
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.
The remaining aliquot of each sample
was adjusted to a pH of approximately 2 with concentrated
HN03.
Mr. Jim Kottan -2- famay 12,2006 Distribution

is listed below.
You may also contact Wade Ivey at 865.576.9184
