Confirmatory survey of the staging area south of the RF-6 Building RMI Titanium Company, Ashtabula, Ohio
The RMI Titanium Company's Plant in Ashtabula, Ohio, performed uranium metal extrusions for the Department of Energy (DOE) from 1962 to 1988 and for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) until 1988. RMI has discontinued the uranium extrusion processes and has initiated the decontamination and decommissioning of the facilities and surrounding land areas. Prior to any decontamination of the plant facilities, a new office and laboratory facility must be constructed to relocate current activities. The objective of this survey was to confirm that the decontamination efforts by the licensee have been effective in meeting the current guidelines established for the decommissioning of this site. Background exposure rate measurements and soil sampling to determine baseline radionuclide concentrations, were conducted at eight locations in the Ashtabula area. A surface gamma scan was conducted in the staging area at 1--2 m intervals to identify locations of residual gross elevated activities. NaI(T1) gamma scintillation detectors, coupled to ratemeters with audible indicators, were used for these measurements.
