Background: The CSXT property
located near Inkster Road is not subject
to a license issued by the NRC. It
consists of operating rail lines and
associated right-of-way and is located to
the west of Inkster Road in Livonia,
Michigan. The parcel is adjacent to, and
runs parallel to, the southern boundary
of the AAR Manufacturing, Inc. (AAR)
site. The AAR site was formerly owned
by Brooks and Perkins, Inc. (B&P), a
licensee of the NRC’s predecessor
agency, the U.S. Atomic Energy
Commission (AEC). AEC Source
Material License No. D–547 was issued
to B&P on January 17, 1957, and was
superseded by License STB–0362 on
August 10, 1961. AEC terminated
License STB–0362 on May 17, 1971. In
1981, AAR purchased B&P and obtained
the property. In March 1994, the NRC
informed AAR that radioactive thorium
surface and subsurface contamination
had been detected at several locations
on the site and requested that AAR
perform radiological surveys and
remediation activities (ADAMS
Accession No. ML110670259). The AAR
site was added to the Site
Decommissioning Management Plan list
in August 1994.
In May 1997, NRC inspectors
performed a limited radiation survey of
the CSXT right-of-way adjacent to the
AAR site. NRC staff provided the
inspection report to CSXT in a June 12,
1997, letter; the report identified three
locations with elevated levels of
thorium in the soil (ADAMS Accession
No. ML091000360). NRC staff
considered the possibility that some
residual radioactive material may have
spread from the AAR site onto the CSXT
property. In a September 8, 1997, letter,
NRC requested that CSXT provide an
accurate characterization of the property
(ADAMS Accession No. ML101250613).
CSXT submitted the report to NRC on
September 13, 2000 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML090680748). The CSXT
conclusion in this report was that the
dose modeling results demonstrate that
no remedial actions or restrictions on
site usage are required and that the total
site dose does not exceed the 25 mrem/
year NRC criteria for unrestricted
release. NRC staff reviewed the CSXT
report and concluded that the surveys
and measurements were generally not
consistent with NRC guidance. After
evaluating the existing data for the
CSXT property, the NRC staff decided to
have the NRC independent survey
contractor perform confirmatory surveys
of the CSXT property.
Based on the survey and sampling
results, as well as an all-pathways
analysis of the potential doses to the
public from the residual radioactivity at
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the site, it was determined that
contamination on the CSXT property
would result in doses well below NRC’s
criteria for unrestricted use. Therefore
the NRC staff concludes that no further
action is needed by CSXT. NRC will not
require remediation activities at the site
unless new information demonstrates
that the criteria in 10 CFR Part 20,
Subpart E, ‘‘Radiological Criteria for
License Termination,’’ are not being met
and residual radioactivity at the site
could result in a significant threat to
public health and safety. The NRC staff
documented its review in a Safety
Evaluation Report (SER) (ADAMS
Accession No. ML111370451).
Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 28th day
of July, 2011.
