Teams with Bartlett Services
Millennium Services teamed with Bartlett Services to provide services and equipment for the survey and remediation of residual
contamination culminating in license termination for the Warren Hall
Building. Warren Hall was built in 1955 and housed the School of
Public Health (SPH) until November 2007. Use of radionuclides in Warren
Hall was terminated in October 2007. Radioactive materials were used as
part of the research conducted for the SPH, and radioactive sources were
used for instructional purposes. Authorized use of radioactive materials
was limited to the first and second floor laboratories.
Team members were trained in the operation of the SCM-IV
and conducted radiological surveys for alpha and beta contamination on building
surfaces. Millennium provided staff to process and analyze the data and to
produce CAD overlays of the imaged data.

acquires scm and sims from shonka research
assoc., inc,
Woodstock, GA, September
20, 2007- Millennium Services, Inc. (MSI) proudly announces it has
acquired the state-of-the-art Surface Contamination Monitor and
associated Survey Information Management System (SCM/SIMS) technology from
Shonka Research Associates, Inc. (SRA). This patented survey technology was
developed by Dr. Joseph Shonka, and has been used extensively by Millennium
Services in support of numerous D&D projects and site investigations across
the country including, Rocky Flats, Fernald, and the ETTP 3-Building Project
(K-33, K-31, and K-29) in Oak Ridge.
“We have a great deal of
experience with SCM/SIMS and are excited to assume ownership of this innovative
and versatile technology,” said Millennium Services president Rick Titolo. The
SCM/SIMS is widely recognized throughout the nuclear industry for its superior
production rate while satisfying the Data Quality Objectives of characterization
and final status surveys. The cost effective system eliminates many of the
errors associated with handheld surveys while providing a thirty five fold
increase in production rate; and, the comprehensive survey documentation
provided is unequalled in the industry. Use of this technology has been shown
to result in cost and schedule savings, while meeting or exceeding both
site-specific and statutory performance criteria and minimizing the risk of
future liability. "
"SRA is excited to have MSI
assume the rights to the SCM. MSI has had a long and successful association
with the SCM, making them uniquely qualified to continue to advance the
technology and promulgate it to the marketplace. SRA is confident the SCM
technology will continue to evolve under MSI’s stewardship, further enhancing
its unmatched abilities and market presence,” said SRA president Debby Shonka.

ASSISTS FLUOR FERNALD IN COMPLETING PROJECT
Services included the design
and performance of radiological surveys of concrete pads, walls, roadways,
and land areas in support of D&D activities and for free release, as well as
the identification of sampling locations for core bores. Sampling points
were determined by identifying the locations with the highest levels of
surface activity, and samples were obtained for analysis relative to EPA
guidelines for onsite burial. The services provided by Millennium Services
included:
-
Development of procedures and Survey Work Packages (SWP) for each of the
survey areas;
-
Project management and radiological engineering support;
-
Design and performance of characterization, remedial action support, and
final status surveys using SCM/SIMS advanced survey technology;
-
Determination of sampling locations;
-
Survey data management;
-
Quality assurance review of final status survey data;
-
Development of survey reports for each survey area and Final Status Survey
Reports summarizing the results;
-
Performance of gamma walkover surveys using NaI based GPS system.
