National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Radiological status report for the EBWR containment building. Volume 1: Summary and analysis.

DE96008722

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Murdoch, B. T.
Page Count	146
Abstract	At the conclusion of the EBWR D and D process, ANL Health Physics conducted a release survey to determine the radiological status of the facility. The primary goal of the survey was to verify that residual activities on building surfaces met DOE and ANL guidelines for downposting of a Radiologically Contaminated Area to a Radiologically Controlled Area. The resultant area was to bear no contamination designation, with no requirements for radiological personnel monitoring or protective clothing. ANL Health Physics designed a survey procedure, using a graded approach considering the building history, the D and D process, and the intended future use. The survey followed the general guidance of NRC NUREG/CR-5849, but simplified and reduced in scope to match the release goal. The building interior surfaces were divided into 15 principal survey units and one special survey unit. Each of the principal survey units had to meet the controlled release guidelines. The procedure consisted of dual full floor scans for beta/gamma activity, sampling measurements of total and removable alpha and beta/gamma activities, and background gamma exposure surveys. In the 15 principal survey units, surface activities were measured at a total of 444 locations. With the exception of certain excluded contaminated areas and mechanical equipment, the building interior meets the limited release guidelines.
