Palo Verde requests information regarding how (or if) other licensees' evaluate materials for neutron activation that have been inside of the Containment or Reactor Building.
When evaluating an item for either unconditional release from the radiological controls or during waste classification / disposal activities, do you consider the potential for the item to have some level of neutron activation? If yes, what type of considerations or actions do you take, e.g., sending items off-site for analysis for potentially activated constituents, assessment of potentially affected components and areas inside the Containment Building where significant neutron radiation fields exist., etc?
