Surveillance Parameters - std301320040019

DOE-STD-3013-2004

6.4.2 Surveillance Parameters

The following parameters shall be included in non-destructive package surveys:

1. For oxide bearing material, indication of internal pressure build-up in the inner

container.

2. The weight of each Package in the surveillance sample.

3. Indications of leakage and/or degradation.

6.4.3 Evaluation of Surveillance Data

1. Surveillance data from an inspection shall be compared against the baseline

measurements to identify any changes.

2. If at any time an unexpected change in a Package is noted, an evaluation shall be

performed and corrective action taken as appropriate. This evaluation shall include,

as appropriate, 1) options for opening the Package, 2) consideration for inspecting

other similar Packages, based on factors such as contents, origin, and date of

closure, and 3) assessment of potential consequences.

Documentation

6.5.1 Data Base

An electronic data base shall be maintained as a source of relevant information about

stored materials and packages. This data base may consist of several files (which, in

themselves, may be data bases), some of which may be classified. For completeness,

the data base should be coordinated and generally compatible with the MC&A data

base(s).

6.5.2 Data base content elements

1. The data base shall include, as a minimum, available information on the following

material characteristics:

1) Chemical and physical form;

2) Best available isotopic distribution including all actinides, and the effective

date(s) of analysis;
