U. S. Department of Energy’s Analytical Services Program Systematic Planning and Data Assessment Tools and Training - SPADAT DOE Consolidated Audit Program – DOECAP Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program – MAPEP George E.

Systematic Planning and Data Assessment Tools and Training Program (http: //vsp. pnl. gov/dqo/) Provides sampling and data evaluation methods and tools to facilitate enhanced, timely and cost effective approaches to meet regulatory requirements, accelerate site cleanup, facilitate decommissioning, and support legacy management. n n Visual Sample Plan (VSP) software tool development and implementation Training courses for systematic sample planning and Data Quality Objectives On-site sample planning assistance and support Support for statistically defensible sampling approaches and data evaluation methodologies

SPADAT Visual Sample Planning n n n n n Interfaces with GIS and Autocad Supports multiple statistical approaches (simple random, sequential, stratified, systematic, adaptive cluster, etc. ) Hotspot Sampling Composite Sampling Well Redundancy Modeling Geostatistical Modeling Probability / Uncertainty Mapping Seasonality Consistency Testing Temporal Redundancy Evaluations

VSP Used for Hotspot Sampling Using new or existing data, VSP programming will automatically and iteratively locate samples in the largest un-sampled area

VSP Sampling Designs Use of VSP to plan sampling designs and data analysis for decommissioning or decontamination of buildings Use of VSP to determine monitoring well redundancy while preserving important plume information

DOE Consolidated Audit Program (https: //doecap. oro. doe. gov/) Performs, coordinates and administers audits of Analytical Laboratories and Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facilities subcontracted to the DOE. n n n Recruits technically qualified auditors from across the DOE Eliminates redundant audits between DOE facilities Provides standardized audit methodology and procedures Improves communication of audit information and lessons learned Reduces overall Department risks and liabilities

DOECAP Audit Areas Laboratories n n n n Quality Assurance Management Organic Analysis Inorganic Analysis Radiochemical Analysis Laboratory Information Systems Hazardous and Radioactive Materials Management Specialty Analysis Disposal Facilities n n n n Quality Assurance Management Sampling and Analytical Quality Waste Operations Environmental Compliance Radiological Control Industrial and Chemical Safety Transportation Management Regulatory Agency Review

Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (http: //www. inl. gov/resl/mapep/) Tests and evaluates environmental analytical laboratory performance and ability to provide defensible data that instills confidence in DOE decision- making. n n n ISO 17025 Accredited Performance Test Provider Direct traceability to the National Institute for Standards and Testing Tests radiological, stable inorganic, and organic parameters Evaluates soil, water, air filter, and vegetation media Required for all laboratories performing analysis for DOE Interaction and cooperation with DOECAP auditing

MAPEP Operations MAPEP Scope and Laboratory Participants: n n n n Scheduled to distribute approximately 1200 samples in FY 09 Anticipate over 14, 000 performance analyses for evaluation 109 Domestic Laboratories 17 International Laboratories Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Laboratories (New Zealand, Brazil) Cooperative Monitoring (Canada, United Kingdom) International Atomic Energy Agency Middle Eastern Nations (Jordan, Israel, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Turkey, Morocco)
