INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection

well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected
from WHA Bins 1 and 4 to the prescribed USEI WAC

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample
identifications associated with soil and sediment samples

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses
Hematite Survey Report 15 5184-SR -01-0
OJVID---------------------------- OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample
identifications associated with soil and sediment samples

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses
Hematite Survey Report 15 5184-SR -01-0
OJVID---------------------------- OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the

contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report
61 CONFIRMATORY SURVEY Focus AREA

62 SURFACE SCANS
High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample
identifications associated with soil and sediment samples

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit

permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

OJVID---------------------------- OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0

contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51
presents the Uniform DCG~Xs used to evaluate analytical results in residual soil and sediment

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

62 SURFACE SCANS
High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample
identifications associated with soil and sediment samples

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

OJVID---------------------------- OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATORY SURVEY SUMMARY AND RESULTS FOR THE HEMATITE DECOMMISSIONING PROJECT
FESTUS MISSOURI
1 INTRODUCTION
The Westinghouse Electric Company LLC (XlEC) former fuel cycle facility near Festus Missouri
operated from 1956 to 2001 manufacturing uranium for use as nuclear fuel The site ceased
operational activities in September 2001 WEC is decommissioning the facility now known as the
Hematite Decommissioning Project (HDP) From its inception in 1956 through 1974 the facility
was used primarily in support of government contracts that required the production of highly
enriched uranium products From 1974 through the plant closure in 2001 the focus changed from
government contracts to commercial fuel production Specifically operations included the
conversion of uranium hexafluoride gas ofvarious uranium enrichments to uranium oxide uranium
carbide uranium dioxide pellets and uranium metal Secondary operations included research and
development and uranium scrap recovery processes The facilitys central land area and the site creek
were impacted by the fuel fabrication activities
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is responsible for oversight of permitted license
activities that are currently being conducted at the HDP The NRC has opted to perform
independent (third party) confirmatory evaluations of various site activities to assess the radiological
conditions at the site This included independent reviews of the licensees documents survey data
and analytical results to ensure that site documentation accurately and adequately describes the
conditions at the site that procedures are sufficiently robust to meet the requirements for assessing
and documenting final radiological status and that the implementation of plans and procedures was
successfuL The confirmatory evaluation also included conducting on-site evaluations of the
licensees field activities (ie in-process inspections) and generating independent radiological data to
evaluate the adequacy and accuracy of the final conclusions
At NRCs request the Independent Environmental Assessment and Verification (lEAV) Program
of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAD) was responsible for independent confirmatory
activities at HPD ORAU performed this task under the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and
Education (ORISE) contract

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the

contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report
61 CONFIRMATORY SURVEY Focus AREA
Specific geographical locations for survey sampling and or procedural inspection were selected by
the NRC and included three groundwater monitoring wells two sediment collection sites the
reusable soil pile area a four-bin Waste Handling Area (WHA) and survey unit (SU) North 4 which

62 SURFACE SCANS
High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the

At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

OJVID---------------------------- OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

2 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Hematite facility is located in Jefferson County Missouri less than four miles west of the town
of Festus Missouri and 35 miles south of the dty of St Louis The site is surrounded by forest
agricultural lands and low-density residential housing The entire site consists of approximately
228 acres however the impacted portion of the site-referred to as the central tract--Dnly includes
approximately 19 acres The central tract of the site is bounded by State Road P to the north the
northeast site creek to the east Dnion-Pacific railroad tracks to the south and the site creekpond
to the west
3 OBJECTIVES
The objective of the confirmatory survey was to provide independent contractor field data reviews
and to generate independent radiological data for NRCs use in evaluating the accuracy and adequacy
of the licensees procedures More specifically the objective was to ensure that regulatory release
andor waste handling criteria are being met by the licensee and that supporting data were collected
in a satisfactory manner To achieve this objective ORAD performed document reviews and onsite
in-process confirmatory inspections and surveys Split samples were also provided to ORAD by
WEC and analyzed by the ORADORISE radiological laboratory to assess the licensees analytical
capabilities
4 DOCUMENT REVIEW
Prior to on-site activities ORAD was provided the Hematite Decommissioning Plan (DP) (WEC 2009a)
for review to develop a project-specific plan Dpon arrival at the site Mike LaFranzo (NRC) also
provided plans and procedures applicable to the confirmatory survey for ORADs review Table 41
summarizes the specific procedures reviewed by ORAD In addition to reviewing the DP ORAD
took into account guidance from the Multi-Agenry Radiation SurofY and Site Investigation Manual
(MARSSIM) (NRC 2000)

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report
61 CONFIRMATORY SURVEY Focus AREA

High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

5 APPLICABLE SITE GUIDELINES
Based on past site investigations the primary contaminants of concern (COCs) at the HDP are
technetium (Tc-99) thorium-232 (Th-232) uranium-234 (U-234) uranium-235 (U-235)
uranium-238 (U-238) americium-241 (Am-241) neptunium-237 (Np-237) and plutonium-239240
(pu-239 240) Each radionuchde-specific derived concentration guideline level (DCG~x) represents
the concentration above background of a residual radionuclide that would result in a radiological
dose of 25 mremyr to the average member of rhe critical group (WEC 2009a) Because each of the
individual DCG~ represents 25 mremyr the sum-of-the-fractions (SOF) approach is used to
demonstrate compliance with the dose limit SOF calculations are performed as follows
n
SOFTOTAL =f SOFj =L ~ DC~~ -0 WjJ- j=O
Where C jis the concentration of COC j and DCG~xj is the DCGLw for COC j Note that
gross concentrations are considered here for conservatism
As depicted in Fig 51 (Fig 54 of the DP) DCG~s were calculated by WEC for four conceptual
site models (CSMs) including Shallow Root Deep and Uniform contaminated soil strata Due to
the fact that some areas of the site are known to have contaminated soil underneath clean material
(eg burial pits) while other areas of the site are believed to be contaminated only on the surface
WEC developed the following CSMs for three layers of contamination Surface
(0-015 m) Root (015-15 m) and Deep (15-67 m) The thickness of the cover and the
Hematite Survey Report 3 S184-SR-Ol -0
ORlU OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNiVERSITIES
contamination zone (CZ) depth both depend on the CSM The Uniform stratum approach assumes
uniform contamination is present from the surface to a depth of 67 m Due to the fact that
subsurface soils could in the future be excavated and brought to the surface WEC also performed
an excavation scenario evaluation to ensure that deep strata DCG~Xs would be acceptable if those
soils were excavated and brought to the surface

For this report one of two approaches will be used to determine compliance with applicable site
guidelines (1) the more conservative Uniform approach or (2) the multi-layered approach In the
case that Uniform criteria are not met then the multi-layered approach can be tested When the
multilayered approach is applied a SOF equation will also be used to combine the results of each
layer in addition to the equation combining the concentrations of multiple radionuclides Table 51

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary

well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected
from WHA Bins 1 and 4 to the prescribed USEI WAC

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report

62 SURFACE SCANS
High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected
from WHA Bins 1 and 4 to the prescribed USEI WAC

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

6 PROCEDURES
At NRCs request an ORAU survey team visited the Hematite Site from June 12 through 13 2012
to perform in-process and confirmatory survey activities These activities included evaluation of the
licensees implementation of site-specific guidance documentsprocedures visual inspections
surface scans sample collection and laboratory analysis procedures The confirmatory survey
ac tivities were conducted in accordance with the Prqject-Specific Plan for Independent ConjimJatory Survey
Activities jor the Hematite Decommissioning Proect and the ORAU ORISE Survey Procedures and
Quality Program Manuals (ORISE 2012 ORAU ORISE 2012a and ORAU 2012) Questions and
concerns were brought to the immediate attention of the NRC representative and are also noted in
the Findings and Results section of this report
61 CONFIRMATORY SURVEY Focus AREA
Specific geographical locations for survey sampling and or procedural inspection were selected by
the NRC and included three groundwater monitoring wells two sediment collection sites the
reusable soil pile area a four-bin Waste Handling Area (WHA) and survey unit (SU) North 4 which
is located in the burial pit area Walkover survey measurements and sampling locations are

62 SURFACE SCANS
High-density gamma walkover scans were performed over SU North 4 using a Ludlum model 44-10
2 x 2 sodium iodide detector coupled to a Ludlum model 12 ratemeter-scaler with an audible
indicator Electronic data collection was facilitated using global positioning system equipment that
logged real-time detector responses with their corresponding coordinates using North American

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined

At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw

In addition ORAU performed radiological scans of excavated material designated for the Soil
Re-use Pile These scans were performed on material excavated from the burial pits and delivered
via truck Per WEC procedure the excavated soil was dumped and spread out prior to scanning and
visual inspection Appendix A Fig A-3 presents scan results of the spread material prior to being
moved to the Soil Re-use Pile
63 SOIL AND SEDIMENT SAMPLING
Four soil samples and two sediment samples were collected by the jjcensee utijjzing the applicable
site procedure(s) listed in Table 41 and under direct observation of ORAU personnel Following
sample collection and homogenization site personnel provided split samples for the purpose of
independent analysis by the ORAU ORISE radiologlcallaboratory
Per direction of the NRC representative one composite soil sample was collected from Bin 1 and
one from Bin 4 both located in the WHA Per WEC waste sampling procedures each bin-specific
composite sample was generated by combining material from four randomly selected sub-sample
locations The remaining two composite samples were collected from the Soil Re-Use Pile Per WEC
soil re-use and final status survey sampling procedures each composite sample consisted of soil
from four randomly selected sub-sample locations However ORAU noted the samples were not
truly random in nature such as would result from using a random number generating approach
rather the licensee went to the north south east and west areas of the bins piles to collect the four
sub-samples The jjcensees assumption was that the media was fairly well homogenized by the time
it reached the bins re-use piles from the mixing that occurred during the truck loading and
unloading process
The two sediment sample locations included SS-52 (NPDES Outfall 6) and SS-17 (convergence of
Site Creek and Joachim Creek) Sediment samples were collected according to the WEC sediment
sampling procedure identified in Section 4 Table 62 presents a summary of the sample
identifications associated with soil and sediment samples

64 MONITORlNG WELL SAL1PLING
Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit

permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

Three groundwater samples were collected by the licensee under direct observation of ORAD
personnel and utilizing the low flow well sampling procedure identified in Table 41 Samples were
collected in duplicate to allow for split analysis by the ORAD ORISE radiological laboratory Each
sample was collected directly from the peristaltic pump into an appropriate sample container
Collection into a common container for the purpose of homogenization was not deemed necessary
based on the stability of pre-sampling water quality parameters these parameters included
temperature dissolved oxygen pH oxidation-reduction potential and turbidity Both sample sets
were dispensed in immediate succession
It is common practice for the ORAD ORlSE laboratory to filter groundwater samples prior to
acidification in order to include only the dissolved fraction of the analyte in the quantified result
When sampling the WEC technician collected samples directly into a container pre-preserved with
nitric acid The water collected from these wells was high in dissolved iron and possibly manganese
that oxidized and precipitated in the unpreserved ORAD sample The WEC sample did not undergo
the same effect due to acid solubility As a result if ORAD were to filter prior to acidification any of
the target analytes in precipitate form would be filtered out prior to analysis This would likely result
in lower target analyte recovery when later compared to samples collected by WEe In the interest

of evaluating laboratory proficiency the NRC requested ORAD acidify samples prior to filtration
and report the total recoverable analyte fraction matching the WEC methodology

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

7 SAMPLE ANALYSIS AND DATA INTERPRETATION
Scan data and volumetric samples were returned to the ORAU facility in Oak Ridge Tennessee for
laboratory analysis and data interpretation Sample analyses were performed in accordance with the
ORAUORISE Laboratory Procedures Manual (ORAUORISE 2012b) Notable sample
preparation steps performed by the O RAU ORISE laboratory included the acidification of water
samples prior to filtration and the passing of soilsediment samples through a 025 inch sieve
Samples were analyzed by solid-state gamma spectroscopy alpha spectroscopy liquid scintillation
and low background proportional counting Analytical laboratory results were evaluated and
compared to applicable guidelines
In response to NRCs request to perform split analyses Appendi x B Table B-2 provides sample
results obtained from the licensees laboratory (Test America St Lou is) and compares them to the
results provided by the ORAUORISE laboratory Acceptance criteria for split analyses are based
upon a normali zed absolute zero (DER) If the DER is less than or equal to 3 results do not differ
significantly while taking into account their respective uncertainties The following equation was
used

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3
82 RADIONUCLIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN SOILS SEDIMENTS AND WATERS
A comprehensive summary of ORAUORISE laboratory sample results for site-related COCs

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

ORi u ---------------------------- - OAK RIDGE ASSOCIATED UNIVERSITIES
bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

8 FINDINGS AND RESULTS
This section discusses results for each confirmatory activity
81 SURFACE SCANS
Surface scan results for SU North 4 and the soil re-use pile are discussed below The reported
surface activities represent gross counts that have not been subjected to background correction
811 Survey Unit North 4
The licensee and ORAU technicians performed a slow and thorough high-density walkover scan of
the SU placing flags at any location exhibiting elevated activity Overall instrument response ranged
from background to the order of 20000 counts per minute (cpm) The discreet location associated
with a detector response of 20000 cpm was one of five areas identified as exhibiting elevated
activity All five areas of elevated activity were identified by both the licensee and ORAU technician
with comparable detector responses The ORAU technician did not identify any areas of elevated
activity in addition to those identified by the licensees technician Figure A-2 shows ORAU gamma
scan coverage and detector response in cpm for the entire SU
812 Soil Re-Use Pile
Scans of soil excavated from the burial pit and destined for re-use did not exhibit a detector
response distinguishable from background The scan range was 8000 to 10000 cpm Scan results
are provided in Appendix A Fig A-3
82 RADIONUCLIDE CONCENTRATIONS IN SOILS SEDIMENTS AND WATERS
A comprehensive summary of ORAUORISE laboratory sample results for site-related COCs
(excluding Pu-239 240) are provided in Table B-1 Table 81 presents activity ranges for soil

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

sediment and groundwater irrespective of the analytical minimum detectable concentration (MDC)
(ie both non-detected and detected results are presented) The comparison of analytical data
between split samples sent to ORAU ORlSE laboratory and the licensees laboratory were all
considered to be within an acceptable range of variance based on the criteria discussed in Section 7
Table B-2 provides a complete comparison summary
821 Soil Results
Samples collected from the WHA resulted in low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226 Tc-99 Th-232
U-234 U-235 236 (as reported but interpreted here as U-235) and U-238 Neither sample
contained concentrations of Np-237 or Am-241 above the analytical MDC WHA Bin 1 exhibited
slightly higher concentrations of all detected isotopes as compared to Bin 4
Results for samples collected from the Soil Re-Use Area indicate only low-level detections of
Ra-226 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations of Cs-137
Tc-99 Np-237 or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
822 Sediment Results
Samples collected from locations SS-S2 and SS-17 exhibit low-level detections of Cs-137 Ra-226
Tc-99 Th-232 U-234 U-235 236 and U-238 Neither sample contained concentrations ofNp-237
or Am-241 above the respective analytical MDC
823 Groundwater Results
With the exception of extremely low-level detections of U-234 at GW-GWU and U-238 at
GW-GWW there were no COCs detected above the respective analytical MDC Three
groundwater-sampljng-related observations were made during the in-process inspection
bull First equipment rinse blanks are were not procedurally required due to the use of dedicated
well tubing However the sampling technicians on a routine basis utilize the same water
level indicator tape probe for all wells The equipment is decontaminated between each well
per procedure but could be considered a source of cross-contamination between two wells

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for
soil background)

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

bull Second while sampling the monitoring well closest to the evaporation pond technicians
were experiencing difficulty with gaseous bubbles in the sample withdraw tubing and
multi-meter manifold block As no fluctuations were identified in regards to certain real-time
field parameters such as dissolved oxygen it is possible that the air bubbles were resulting
from the liberation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) While this may cause issues with
field measurements it could also result in a reduction of VOCs captured in the vial
compared to the actual concentrations within the source water table
bull Third it is also suggested that photo ionization detector readings be taken when accessing
this well to determine the level of VOCs in the breathing zone
These three observations are noteworthy though matters related to non-radiological data are outside
of the ORAU scope

9 COMPARISON OF RESULTS WITH GUIDELINES
Analytical laboratory results for the soil re-use pile and sediment collection locations were compared
to radionuclide-specific Uniform DCG~vs both by considering individual COCs and using a SOF
calculation Note these comparisons are made using gross concentration 0e are not adjusted for

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

Table 91 compares average sample results from the Soil Re-Use Pile quantified above the analytical
MOC to the Uniform DCGLws Neither of the Soil Re-Use Area composite soil samples resulted in
COC concentrations above the Uniform OCG4 considering either individual or SOF
comparisons A similar comparison of sediment samples is provided in Table 92 However SOF
calculations in Table 92 use the maximum and not average detected concentrations This approach
is based on the rationale that the two sediment samples are discreet in nature as they were collected
from widely dispersed locations By comparing maximum detected values a single conservative
summary value can be determined
NRC requested that soils collected from the WHA be compared to US Ecology Idaho (USE)
waste acceptance criteria CWAC) and not OCGLs The WAC are presented in the
US Environmental Protection Agency Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Part B permit
held by USEI (EPA 2004) Based on a review of analytical data and Table Cl of the USEI Part B
permit an applicable set of criteria is not available The WHA sample results indicate a quantifiable
presence of enriched uranium The USEI WAC does not include a basis for comparison of enriched
urani um with regards to disposal Per NRC direction sample results obtained from the WHA bins
were compared to a WAC limit of 3000 pCig (total activity) as requested by WEC in a 2009
document titled Requestfor Alternate Disposal Approval and Exemptions for Specific Hematite
Decommissioning Prqject Waste (VEC 2009b) Table 93 compares analytical results of samples collected
from WHA Bins 1 and 4 to the prescribed USEI WAC

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

10 SUMMARY
At NRCs request ORAU conducted confirmatory surveys of the Hematite site during the period of
] une 12 through] une 13 2012 The survey activities included in-process inspections document
review walkover surveys sampling activities and laboratory analysis of split samples
WEe was forthcoming with information relating to practices procedures and surface scan results
Scans performed by the WEe technician were extremely thorough and methodical The WEe and
ORAU technicians identified the same areas of elevated activity with comparable detector responses

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC

WEC sampling of re-use soils waste soils sediments and groundwater were conducted under
ORAU observation The sampling efforts observed by ORAU were performed in accordance with
site-specific procedures and in a manner sufficient to provide quality supporting data
Three observations were made during groundwater sampling activities First the water level
indicator was re-used without submitting rinse blank Second bubbles created during tubing
extraction could indicate the presence of volatilized organic compounds Third samplers did not use
a photo ionization detector prior to sample collection to indicate the presence of volatile organic
vapors
Results of split samples indicated a high level of comparability between the WEC and
ORAU jORISE radiological laboratories Analytical practices and procedures appear to be sufficient
in providing quality radiochemical data
All concentrations from the Soil Re-Use Area and sediment samples are below Uniform DCGLw
limits thus comparisons to the less conservative stratified geometry were not required Results were
compared to individual DCGLs and using the SOF approach Both composite soil samples
collected from the WHA (Bins 1 and 4) were well below the prescribed USEI WAC
