Millennium Services, Inc. is supporting TVA in the free release of the Watts Bar Unit 2 Containment and Annulus from the Unit 1 Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) in order to allow unrestricted access during construction of Unit 2. Millennium Services is responsible for the design of the free release survey to demonstrate “indistinguishable from background” end state, development of the survey plan and detailed survey work packages, performance of radiological surveys using our Surface Contamination Monitor / Survey Information Management System (SCM / SIMS), review of surveys performed with conventional handheld instrumentation, development of reports for each survey area and generation of the final report. We are also providing survey services associated with the free release of various materials and equipment. Millennium Services supported the plant by performing a SOER 2001-1, Unplanned Radiation Exposures, assessment of the Radiation Protection Program at TVA’s Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. Millennium Services, Inc. provided station management with a “hands-on”, forward-looking, detail oriented assessment of the RP program relative to the recommendations found in the INPO SOER, and developed specific plans to improve performance where applicable. The Site Vice President commended Millennium’s efforts, and all of the assessment recommendations were accepted.
Millennium Services was contracted to perform an independent assessment of the Palisades Radiation Protection Program. The objectives of the assessment were to validate, for the RPM, the issues that were seen as most pressing, and provide any additional insights that would be important for the RPM to know. The assessment was performed by conducting interviews of RP technicians, supervisors and staff members; as well as representatives of outside organizations including Maintenance, Operations and Planning & Scheduling. The assessment also included observations of RP training, radiological briefings, job coverage, and radwaste shipments. Several tours of the Radiologically Controlled Area were also performed during the assessment period.
Millennium Services was contracted to assist the Nuclear Assurance Division in an assessment of the Radiation Protection Program during an Outage Audit. A Millennium Services principal was asked to provide an industry perspective on several program elements including Radiation Exposure Permits (RWP equivalent), Control of Radiography, Control of HRA, LHRA and VHRA areas, TEDE ALARA Assessments, RWP Briefings, and Log-keeping.
Millennium Services, Inc. was contracted by Bartlett Services, Inc. to provide the Surface Contamination Monitor / Survey Information Management System (SCM/SIMS) and radiological engineering support for the performance of characterization and final status surveys at the Carolinas-Virginia Nuclear Power Associates Parr Reactor site in South Carolina in support of the remediation and closure of the site. The final status survey employed an “indistinguishable from background” methodology. Millennium previously worked with Bartlett Services by providing surveys in support of license termination for the Warren Hall Building at the University of California Berkley.
MILLENNIUM SERVICES TEAMS WITH TETRATECH NUS Millennium Services is supporting TetraTech NUS in the development of the radiological survey plan describing the survey, sampling and analysis requirements necessary to determine if specified buildings at the Alameda Naval Air Station can be unconditionally released, or if additional action is required.
MILLENNIUM CONTINUES WORK AT K-25 Millennium Services continues to provide support to RSI and Bechtel Jacobs at the ETTP site in Oak Ridge. Our personnel are currently supporting inventory management, characterization and sampling activities in building K-25. Previous support services have included radiological surveys of ground surfaces in and around the site for the purposes of site characterization. Walkover surveys were performed using NaI detectors along with a Global Positioning System (GPS). Our personnel also provided radiological screening of soil samples to identify sample locations with elevated quantities of radioactive contamination and to determine the specific depth of any contamination present.
Millennium Services assisted in the development of the Removal Action Report for buildings K-33, K-31 and K-29, and is involved with the reindustrialization effort for K-31 and K-33. We provide technical and project management support to the development of integrated Data Quality Objectives for the D&D of K-25. This effort included a targeted historical site assessment of radiological survey data (including NDA), the determination of additional data needs, and the evaluation of field measurements to support nuclear criticality incredibility determination at K-25.
