one could go through a hundred samples in a period of a week or two as opposed to a longer time period, and I'l] furnish the reference later. CHAIRMAN MOSELEY: DR. MILLER: Thank you, sir. I want to talk for a very few minutes on what you might call the flow of information through the soil analysis procedure and to indicate where the QA samples will come in. Beginning at the top of the page (FM-3) ORI as sort of a broker will combine the QA soil samples from EML with the prepared samples from REECo, renumber them, and send them through the soil preparation phase. 10 After the soil preparation, drying, ball-milling and sieving is completed, then the ll. 700- gram aliquot will be drawn for gamma analysis and the numbers that are 12 put on the samples by the 13 numbers and they will carry straight through the gamma analysis and the 14 results will come back to DRI where we will decode and decide whether the 15 precision criterion was met. 16 recounted at EML to check for bias. After that decision is made, we will 17 decide whether that particular soil sample is going to be submitted for 18 plutonium analysis and that's not a ORI responsibility, but it's going to 19 be a group responsibility. 20 storage. 21 essentially, 22 sample. 23 tory number and those samples will be blended with QA Pu samples from EML 24 and sent for plutonium analysis. 25 remaining samples will be sent to storage. 26 quality assurance procedure using EML and it will check for both bias and 27 precision and also for contamination, the cross-contamination of the sam- 28 ples because blanks will be sent through. If so, means initial brokering will be laboratory analysis A certain percentage of the samples will be If not, the remaining sample will be sent to we'll do the preparation for plutonium analysis which, drawing another 200-gram aliquot from the remaining That sample will be relabeled with a different chemistry labora- Again the data will be decoded and the 174 This is basically the external
