**See the explanation of N below**

1.) Non-acceptable rating on Pb-212 in soil. Pb-212 was bias low \~30%
probably due to spectral

interference. The other low energy gammas are bias low \~10-20%
suggesting that the efficiency

calibration curve may need some adjustments. Pb-212 is not a nuclide of
major concern to our program.

2\) Non-acceptable rating on H-3 in water. A bug in an EMCAP averaging
routine picked up the matrix spike

and averaged its results with the routine samples. The bug has been
documented in the past. The fix is to

modify EMCAP software code. The working fix is to not transfer the
matrix spike results into EMCAP or,

if transferred, reject the matrix spike so that its results will not be
averaged with the samples. If this oversight

had not occurred, the results would have been stated has 83.8 Bk/L for a
ratio of 1.06 and within acceptable

limits.
