“…For radionuclides in sediments, the measured concentrations are used to calculate a per-person dose with the help of the RESRAD computer model (Yu et al 1995). The calculated dose is based on a residential scenario and assumes soil ingestion, inhalation of suspended dust, and ingestion of homegrown fruits and vegetables as the primary exposure pathways for one or more radionuclides.…”

As per the Mitigation Action Plan for the Special EnvironmentalU) and trace elements (Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, and Tl) in these media were low and most were below regional upper level background concentrations (mean plus three sigma). The very few constituents that were above regional background concentrations were far below screening levels (set from State and Federal standards) for the protection of the human food chain and the terrestrial environment.________________________

“…The derivation of site-specific residual radioactive material guidelines for the Colonie site was based on a dose constraint of 30 rnredyr for the current use and likely future use scenarios and a dose limit of 100 mredyr for less likely but plausible future use scenarios (Yu et al 1993a). For each radionuclide of concern, it was assumed that only that radionuclide is present at an abovebackground cmcentration.…”

“…The RESRAD computer code, version 5.61, was used to derive these guidelines. The RESRAD code is used to implement the methodology described in the DOE manual for establishing residual radioactive material guidelines (Yu et al 1993a). DOE will establish the final guidelines for residual radioactive materials at this site by applying the as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) policy to the derived guidelines presented in this report, along with other factors, such as whether a particular scenario is reasonable and appropriate and whether the contamination is isolated and localized.…”

“…The DOE residual radioactive material computer code, RESRAD (Yu et al 1993a), is used to derive residual radionuclide guidelines on a site-specific basis. This report presents guidelines for residual concentrations of uranium in soils at the Colonie site, derived on the basis of a dose constraint of 30 mredyr for the current use and likely future use scenarios and a dose limit of 100 mredyr for less likely but plausible future land use scenarios.…”

i%e KESRAD-BUILD and RESRAD computer waste (LLW) disposal facility. This method is costly and may not be the best approach. The RESRAD-BUILD and RESRAD computer codes (Yu et al., 1993,19941 can calculate a dose estimate to a hypothetical human receptor from residual radioactivity in the structural material or soil for a variety of scenarios and radioiiuclides. These codes can be applied to evaluate dose estimates of alternative actions. This article presents the results of such analysis for contaminated process water tunnels at the Hanford Site.The Hanford Site, acquired in 1943, is a 1,450-km' reservation owned by the U.S. government and administered by the DOE, Richland Operations Office. The major operational areas on the site include (1) the 100 Areas on the south shore of the Columbia River; (2) the 200-West and 200-East Areas on a plateau; (3:) the 300 Area located just north of the city of Richland; (4) the 400 Area northwest of the 300 Area; and (5) the 600 Area, which includes all the Hanford Site not occupied by the 100, 200,300, and 400 Areas (see Exhibit 1).The structures considered for analysis, the 105-C process water tunnels, are located in the 100 Area. The 100 Area includes nine nuclear reactors and associated facilities and structures. These nuclear production reactors were graphite moderated and water cooled and had a once-through coolant water design. The Columbia River was used as a source of water. For once-through cooling, the 190-C pumphouse was used. Two (south and north) underground tunnels connect the 190-C pumphouse to the 10 5-C reactor. The water tunnels are constructed of reinforced concrete floors, walls, and roofs.The tunnels (--152 m length) vary in width and height but average about 3 m by 3.7 m. Each tunnel contained three water lines and one steam line. The tunnels were sloped toward the 190-C pumphouse to allow any water leaks from the piping to flow to the main sump. Both the 190-C pumphouse and the 10 5-C process water tunnels were on the intake side of the water cooling system. During operation of the 105-C reactor, cooling water occasionally entered the tunnels and deposited radioactive contamination on the tunnel floors (Denham et al., 1997).The Final Environmental Impact Statement, Decomniissioning of the Eight Surplus Production Reactors at the Hanford Site (DOE 19921, identified safe storage followed by deferred on-piece removal as the preferred alternative for the 105-C reactor. This article presents the dose assessments using the source terms based on survey data presented by Denham et al. (1997). Two different source terms were considered in these assessments: the average source term assessment and the bounding dose assessment. For the average source term assessment, the average radionuclide concentration and removal rate were used. For the bounding dose assessment, the maximum observed radionuclide concentration and removal rate were used. Three scenarios were selected for calculating the dose from the residual activity in the concrete tunnels. Two scenarios,...
