Subsection 61.253, Determining Compliance, states that: "Compliance with the emission standard in this subpart shall be determined annually through the use of Method 115 of Appendix 8." 4, SAMPLING METHODOLOGY Radon emissions were measured using Large Area Activated Charcoal Canisters (canisters) in conformance with 40 CFR, Part 6I, Appendix B, Method 115, Restrictions to Radon Flux Measurements, (EPA, 2007). These are passive gas adsorption sampling devices used to determine the flux rate of radon-222 gas from a surface. The canisters were constructed using a lO-inch diameter PVC end cap containing a bed of 180 grams of activated, gtanular charcoal. The prepared charcoal was placed in the canisters on a support gnd on top of a /, inch thick layer of foam and secured with a retaining ring under Ilzinches of foam (see Figure 1, page 10). The sampling effort commonced on June It,2007. One hundred canisters were placed in each region. Due to worker health and safety concerns, measurement of the wet beach areas was limited to areas readily accessible by foot. Each charged canister was placed directly onto the surface (open face down) and exposed to the surface for 24 hours. Radon gas adsorbed onto the charcoal and the subsequent radioactive decay of the entrained radon resulted in radioactivelead-214 and bismuth-2l4. These radon progeny isotopes emit characteristic garnma photons that can be detected through gamma spectroscopy. The original total activity of the adsorbed radon was calculated from these gamma ray measurements using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration of standard sources containing known total activities of radium-226 with geometry identical to the counted samples and from the principles of radioactive decay. After 24 hours, the exposed charcoal was transferred to a sealed plastic sample container (to prevent radon loss and further exposure during transport), identified and labeled, and transported to the Tellco laboratory in Grand Junction, Colorado for analysis. Upon completion of on-site activities, the field equipment was alpha- and beta-gamma scanned for possible contamination resulting from fieldwork activities. All field equipment was surveyed by Denison Mines Radiation Safety personnel and released for unrestricted use. Tellco personnel maintained custody of the samples from collection through analysis. 5. F'IELD OPERATIONS 5.1 Equipment Preparation A1l charcoal was dried at 110'C before use in the field. Unused charcoal and recycled charcoal were treated the same. 180-gram aliquots of dried charcoal were weighed and placed in sample containers. Proper balance operation was verified daily by checking a standard weight. The balance readout agreed with the known standard weight to within È 0.1 percent. (Appendix A). 2 ) In accordance with 40 CFR, Part6l, Appendix B, Method 115: o Measurements were not initiated within 24 hours of significant (>0'1 inches) rainfall. However, after the radon canisters were placed on the Cell2 Beach Region on June 11, 2007, approximately 0.15 inches of rain fell at the site within the subsequen|2| hour period as measured by both Tellco's and Denison Mines' on-site rain gauges. Due to this rainfall event, further canister deployment was delayed until June 13, 2007 ' o The seals around the lips of the canisters on Cell 2Beach Region were not compromised nor were the canisters surrounded by water. o None of the radon measurements presented in this report were performed during temperatures below 35oF or on frozen ground (the minimum air temperature recorded at the site during the collection periods was 54oF). 6. SAMPLE ANALYSIS 6.1 Apparatus Apparatus used for the analYsis: o Single- or multi-channel pulse height analysis system, Ludlum Model 2200 with a Teledyne 3" x 3" sodium iodide, thallium-activated (Na(Tl)) detector. . Lead shielded counting well approximately 40 cm deep with 5-cm thick lead walls and a7- cm thick base and 5 cm thick toP' o National Institute of Standards and Technology (MST) traceable aqueous solution radium- 226 absorbed onto 180 grams of activated charcoal. . Ohaus Model C501 balance with O.l-gram sensitivity. 6.2 Sample Inspection and Documentation Once in the laboratory, the integrity of each charcoal container was verified by visual inspection of the plastic container. Latoratory staff documented damaged or unsealed containers and verified that the data sheet was complete. Two samples were lost in the field due to charcoal spillage and anothçr sample was lost when the canister was run over and destroyed by a dump truck after being placed. All of the remaining 397 sample containers received and inspected at the Tellco analytical laboratory were verified as valid. 6.3 Background and Sample Counting The gamma ray counting system was checked daily, including background. and radíum-226 source measlurementr prior to and after each counting session. Based on calibration statistics, using two sources with known radium-226 content, background and source control limits were established for each Ludlum/Teledyne counting system with shielded well (see Appendix A). 4 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 7.3 Accuracy Accuracy of field measurements \ryas assessed daily by counting two laboratory control samples with known Ra-226 content. Accuracy of these lab control sample measutements, expressed as percent bias, ranged from approximately -1.3 percent to +1.8 percent. The arithmetic average bias of the lab control sample measurements was approximately +0.04 percent (see Appendix A). 7.4 Completeness All 100 samples from the Cell 2 Beaches Region were verified, representing 100 percent completeness for that region. Ninety-nine of the samples from the Cell 2 Covered Region were verified, representing 99 percent completeness for that region. Ninety-nine of the samples from the Cell 3 Beaches region were verified, representing 99 percent completeness for that region. Ninety-nine of the samples from the Cell 3 Covered Region were verified, representing 99 percent completeness for that region. Altogether, 397 samples from the total 400 sample locations were verified during this sampling pro grarn, representin g 99 .3 percent completeness overall. 8. CALCULATIONS Radon flux rates were calculated for charcoal collection samples using calibration factors derived from cross-calibration to sources with known total activity with identical geometry as the charcoal containers. A yield efficiency factor was used to calculate the total activity of the sample charcoal containers. Individual field sample result values presented were not reduced by the results of the field blank analyses. In practice, radon flux rates were calculated by a database computer program. The algorithms utilized by the data base program were as follows: Equation 8.1 pCikt222/n2sec:¡.¡rxei,*UrO.5(d/er.75)l where: N Ts b d A :net sample countrate, cpmunder 220-662 keVpeak: sample druation, seconds: insftument calibration factor, cpmper pCi; values used: 0.1738, for M-01/D-21 and 0.l755,forM-021D-20: decay time, elapsed horus between sample mid-time and count mid-time: area ofthe canister, m 6 )) I ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 9.2 Site Results Site Specific Sample Results (reference Figure 2 andAppendix C) (a) The mean radon flux for each region within the site as follows Cell2 - Cover Area - Beach Area Cell3-CoverArea - Beach Areas - Standing Liquid 13.I pCi/r*-s (based on267,858 nf area) 50.2 pCrlmz-s (based on 2,7 66 r* area) : L3.9 pCi/m2-s (based on 157,581 m2 area) : 6J pCr/m2-s (based on 56,266 m2 area) : 0 pCi/m2-s (based on 75,01 | mz arca) Note: Reference Appendix C of this report for the entire summary of individual measurement results.
