Phase II Final Status Survey Report Mallinckrodt CS-RS-RP-009-ESColumbium-Tantalum Plant, Executive Summary Revision 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Mallinckrodt LLC (Mallinckrodt) is a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of businesslocated at 675 McDonnell Boulevard, St. Louis, MO, 63042. Their former Columbium-Tantalum(C-T) Plant, located within the Mallinckrodt St. Louis Plant at 3600 North Second Street,St. Louis, Missouri, 63147, is currently licensed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission(NRC) and is located near the west bank of the Mississippi River in the northeastern section ofthe City of St. Louis. This licensed facility is being decommissioned in order to terminate theirNRC License STB-401 per the license termination criteria contained in the NRC approvedColumbium-Tantalum (C-T) Phase II Decommissioning Plan (DP).
SITE HISTORY:
Between 1942 and 1958, Mallinckrodt refined uranium ore and concentrate to produce uraniumcompounds and metal in support of early Federal Government programs to develop atomicweapons under the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) and later the Atomic EnergyCommission (AEC). Areas of the St. Louis Plant and vicinity properties affected by MED-AECmaterial are currently being remediated under the U.S. Government Formerly Utilized SitesRemedial Action Program (FUSRAP) by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and are notaddressed as part of this decommissioning and license termination effort.
From 1956 to 1960, Mallinckrodt extracted columbium, tantalum, uranium, thorium, and rareearth elements from euxenite mineral ore for delivery to the AEC and the General ServicesAdministration (GSA) as part of the Defense Materials Procurement Program. The Euxeniteoperation was performed under AEC source material license R-226 which expired in 1960.
From 1961 to 1989 Mallinckrodt extracted columbium and tantalum compounds under NRCLicense STB-401 from ores in the C-T processing buildings formerly located within the cityblock identified as Plant 5. The C-T feed materials included ore and tin slag; process productsincluded tantalum oxide, potassium fluotantalate, and columbium oxide. The same processingfacilities used under the AEC source material license R-226 were also subsequently used for C-Tprocessing.
APPROACH:
The goal of the decommissioning is to remediate the remaining radiological constituentsassociated with the C-T process to the extent required to terminate the NRC license, STB-401.The guidance as provided in US NRC NUREG-1757, Vol. 2, Section 2.5, notes that there is"flexibility in the general approach to demonstrating compliance with Title 10, Code of FederalRegulations (CFR), Part 20, Subpart E" for license termination. Two major approaches describedin the NRC guidance include 1) development of derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLs)and the performance of final status surveys and 2) dose modeling following characterization andremediation as necessary. The first approach in developing DCGLs and demonstratingcompliance through final status surveys is described in Chapters 5 and 14 of the C-T Phase IIDP; however, the NRC guidance adds that the two approaches are not mutually exclusive andthat both are acceptable to show that the residual dose is acceptable for license termination.

Phase 1I Final Status Survey Report Mallinckrodt CS-RS-RP-009-ESColumbium-Tantalum Plant, Executive Summary Revision 1
During decommissioning, the facility was delineated into survey units for ease of remediationand final status survey. For most survey units, Mallinckrodt was able to demonstrate compliancewith the NRC-approved approach as described in Chapters 5 and 14 of the C-T Phase II DP;however, for a limited number of survey units, compliance could not be demonstrated throughthe application of the sum of fractions (SOF) using the DCGLs alone and dose assessments wereperformed. Performance of direct dose assessments for compliance demonstration following theguidance of NUREG-1757 is not included in the C-T Phase II DP and the use of this means ofcompliance demonstration represents an adjustment, or change, to the approved DP. Section 9.5of the C-T Phase II DP describes adjustments to the decommissioning process and provides a listof conditions that must be satisfied for a justified change related to the decommissioning processto be acceptable to the NRC without filing an application for amendment. All conditions ofSection 9.5 of the C-T Phase II DP (a through m) were either not applicable to this change orwere satisfied and approved by Mallinckrodt's and EnergySolutions' Project Managers andRadiation Safety Officers; however, based upon discussions with the NRC, a license amendmentwould be required. Subsequently, per the NRC's request, Mallinckrodt submitted a licenseamendment request to the NRC (ADAMs Accession Number ML15063A404; 2015-03-06)requesting a change to allow for the use of dose modeling as an available option to demonstratecompliance with the license termination criteria. This license amendment request is currentlyunder NRC review.
The application of the dose assessments was limited to situations where inaccessible residualcontamination exceeded an SOF of one. Residual contamination was considered inaccessible if itcould not be removed because remediation activities would negatively impact active plantbuildings, systems and/or operations (e.g., residual contamination under the vertical pipe standsin Plant 5).
SuMMARY FINDINGS:
Final status data evaluation and statistical analyses were performed and a separate decision madefor each survey unit of the C-T Plant as to its suitability for release for unrestricted use basedupon the release criterion as established in Chapter 5 of the C-T Phase II DP. Data was collectedand compared to the DCGLs and each survey unit assessed including an evaluation of anyremaining elevated areas. Survey units that failed the DCGL (i.e. SOF > 1) and elevated areaanalyses were further evaluated using dose assessments to demonstrate compliance with theresidual dose requirements for license termination. A summary of the final status results and theresidual dose(s) for the survey units from Plant 5 is provided as Table ES-1 and Table ES-2respectively.
In addition to the FSS sampling summarized in Table ES-i and Table ES-2, any residualsubsurface contamination as applicable was also evaluated across each survey unit. The verticalcolumn of soil averaged in 1 meter increments (i.e., 0-1, 0-2, 0-3 etc) was assessed using thesame screening tests as applied to evaluate the FSS data. No concerns were identified withresidual subsurface contamination.

REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The NRC completed the review of the Final Status Survey Report (FSSR) Chapters 1 through 33and issued a request for additional information (RAI) for clarification to address technicalconcerns that were identified with the FSSR (ML14175A305; 2014-09-03). These includedcomments on the use of the dose modeling approach and to ensure the modeling was performedconsistent with the approach taken for DCGL development (probabilistic modeling) as well asother specific FSSR Chapter comments. Following a public meeting held on October 9, 2014, arevised RAI was issued (ML14324A524; 2014-11-28). Mallinckrodt submitted their responses tothe RAIs in November of 2014 (ML14339A278; 2014-12-08). Subsequent to NRC review ofthese responses, an additional public meeting was held on May 7, 2015 (ML15112B138;2015-04-22) to discuss remaining issues with respect to the FSSR and RAI reponse submittals.Three additional information requests were made by the NRC including a request for additionalinformation on the remaining Plant 5 sewer systems, clarification on the dose modeling forsurvey unit 18 and an update to this Executive Summary to include the NRC correspondencefollowing the original submittal of the FSSR. Mallinckrodt has submitted their responses to theadditional items requested based on the May 7, 2015 meeting under separate submittal, includingthis revised Executive Summary.
A summary of the FSSR Chapters and the NRC RAI comments is provided in Table ES-03. TheFSSR Chapters as originally submitted to the NRC have not been revised in response to theseRAIs unless otherwise specified in Table ES-03. The Mallinckrodt responses to the NRC's RAIsas submitted in November of 2014 (ML14339A278; 2014-12-08) provide the requestedinformation and revised dose assessments as a supplement to the original submittals.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the FSS data as collected and evaluated within the Plant 5 area as summarized inTable ES-1, Table ES-2 and presented in this report and Mallinckrodt's subsequent responses toNRC's comments, it has been shown that the C-T licensed areas meet the requirements forunconditional release as outlined in the C-T Phase II DP. As a result, it is recommended that theMallinckrodt LLC NRC License STB-401 be terminated.

However, at the request of the NRC, dose assessments were performed for all elevated areas.A specific FSS was not performed for SU18. SUJ18 was a small area that was segregated from SU21 based upon sample results. SU18 was evaluated using a dose assessment for compliance.The low level screening test failed for SU21 as several samples exceeded the investigation level for a Class 3 area. These areas were investigated further and no additional concerns were identified.SU22 was origionally classified as a Class 3 area Based upon sample results, this survey unit was reclassified as a Class 1.
