6. Direct Framatome, Teledyne or otheroffsite radioanalytical laboratory toanalyze water samples to the samesensitivities as required by PPL'scontract for the analysis of routineREMP samples, If applicable.

HELPSample Analysis Information

See TAB 5

6a. Although not routinely performed as partof the REMP, radiochemical Iodine-131analyses of precipitation samples shouldbe considered if radioactive iodine isknown or suspected to have beenreleased.

7. Direct other offsite radioanalyticallaboratories, if applicable to analyzethe following media to the sensitivitiesfor the radionuclides listed in TAB 5:

1. soil,2. pasture grass3. milk

8. Inform the Administrative Coordinator- SSES Environmental Laboratory ofany special analyses of samples thatwill be required.

9. Enter the desired analysis types onthe Emergency EnvironmentalSampling Log.

Required sample analyses will berecorded on the Sample Collection FieldSheet or APF/CC Collection Field Sheetif being sent to the offsite radioanalyticallaboratory.

9a. Indicate the analysis types on the log asroutine and/or list any special analysesrequired.



10. Enter the dates and times of samplereceipts by the radioanalytical lab onthe Emergency EnvironmentalSampling Log.

1 Oa. Make the lab's sample receipt entries onthe Log upon receipt of the faxed Recordof Sample Transfer.

1Ob. Add one day to the radioanalytical labreceipt date and enter the result in the"Analysis Results Due" column of theEmergency Environmental SamplingLog.

11. Enter the date and time that analysisresults are received by the ESD fromthe radioanalytical laboratory in the"Analysis Results Received" columnof the log.

12. Review analysis results (Reports ofAnalysis).

12a. Compare the analysis less-than valuesto the "Required Sensitivities forEmergency Analyses" of Tab 5. If theless-than values are greater, contact theradioanalytical lab to determine theactions, if any, that may be taken toachieve improved analysis sensitivitiesfor those samples. -

12b. Air particulate filter and charcoalcartridge data are typically for periodslonger than the unusual airbornereleases.

Gamma spectroscopic analyses ofparticulate filters for lodine-131 when theSSES is operating normally typically donot yield positive results. Any positiveresults obtained for samples collectedduring an emergency should bemultiplied by the ratio of sampling time torelease time to obtain a properappreciation for levels during the periodof the unusual release.



If gross beta analyses are performed, thelevel during the actual release may beappreciated by comparing it to anaverage background level of 16 pCi/m3.Subtract the background from thereported gross beta activity for theemergency collection, multiply the netgross beta activity by the ratio of thehours of air sample collection to thehours of the release, and add back in thebackground.

Gross beta activity levels for air averageabout 16 pCVm3 annually, but mayrange from 8 to as much as 40 pCi/m3for weekly analysis results without theoccurrence of unusual airborne releases.Filters with gross beta activities above 40may suggest activity from theemergency.

NOTE:Radon may be a significantcontributor to gross Beta activitywhen filters are counted soonafter collection. Typically, filterscollected by the REMP decayseveral days before counting.

1 2c. For analysis results of water samples,note any values in excess of the analysisless-than values. Compare analysisresults greater than the less-than valuesto the PAGs in TAB 6. Compare sampleanalysis results from one location toanother to see if levels decline withincreasing distance downriver.



1 2d. Compare the measured values for theanalyses of soil, pasture grass, and milkto the Protective Action Guides (PAGs)in TAB 6. Analysis results for soil maybe reported in units of pCi/kg. Tocompare the results with the PAGs forsoil, multiply these results by 80 kg/m2 toexpress them in units of pCi/M2.

1 2e. Relate sample analysis results to thesample contact count rates obtainedfollowing collection in the field. Note anymismatches (high dose rates and lowanalysis results or vice versa).

12f. If questions arise about sample identity,compare dates, times, and locations forall samples that are provided with theanalysis results to the same informationprovided on the appropriate SampleReceipt Forms, Sample Collection FieldSheets, or APF/CC Collection FieldSheets, as applicable.

13. Notify the DASU promptly of anyresults above the preventative oremergency PAGs.

14. Document the review date and timefor sample analysis results in the"Analysis Results Reviewed" columnof the Emergency EnvironmentalSampling Log.

15. Arrange for an exchange of PPL andstate sample analysis results for splitsamples.

14a. Make entries in the appropriate columnson page 2 of the EmergencyEnvironmental Sampling Log.

1 5a. Arrangements for data exchange shouldbe made with the state's Monitoring andAnalysis Coordinator when resultsbecome available.

1 5b. Copy Reports of Analysis and SampleReceipt Forms or Sample CollectionField Sheets, as necessary to give to thestate's Monitoring and AnalysisCoordinator.



16. Compare state and PPL split sample 1 6a. Calculate RPDs for state and PPL splitsanalysis results. according to the following formula:

RPD= 100 IS-PI

where:

RPD is the relative percent deviationbetween the state's analysis result andPPL's analysis result,

S is the state's analysis result

P is PPL's analysis result, and

X is the mean of the state's and PPL'sanalysis results.

RPDs greater than 20% for liquids orgreater than 35% for solids require thedetermination of the Split Error Ratio(SER) for the samples as a final test ofagreement between analysis results.

1 6b. If applicable, calculate SERs for stateand PPL splits according to the followingformula:

SER= IS-P I/(2a6-+ 2ap)

where:

SER is the Split Error Ratio,

S is the state's analysis result,

P is PPL's analysis result,

a. is the one-sigma uncertainty ofthe state's analysis result and ap

4' is the one-sigma uncertainty ofPPL's analysis result.

SERs above 1.5 when theanalysis results are at least 5times analysis MDCs are anindication of disagreementbetween the analyses, includingthe calculated RPD/SER values.



1 6c. Make a list of the splits for which thestate's and PPL's results do not comparefavorably.

16d. Consider re-analyses of all state andPPL split samples for which agreementis questionable.

17. Notify the DASU of any state and PPLsplits that do not compare favorably.
