Description

Currently the Irradiation Processing Department is working on a program which has as its goal the reduction of radioactive discharge to the Columbia River. The most significant radioactive isotopes of concern are the relatively long lived isotopes P{sup 32}, Zn{sup 65}, As{sup 76}, N{sub p}{sup 239} and Cr{sup 5l}. Because of their relatively long life they can be found in the Columbia River well below the Hanford Plant. P{sup 32}, because it is absorbed and concentrated by the river biota is of prime concern because the dose which it contributes to man through the eating of fish is not known … continued below

Description

Currently the Irradiation Processing Department is working on a program which has as its goal the reduction of radioactive discharge to the Columbia River. The most significant radioactive isotopes of concern are the relatively long lived isotopes P{sup 32}, Zn{sup 65}, As{sup 76}, N{sub p}{sup 239} and Cr{sup 5l}. Because of their relatively long life they can be found in the Columbia River well below the Hanford Plant. P{sup 32}, because it is absorbed and concentrated by the river biota is of prime concern because the dose which it contributes to man through the eating of fish is not known for certain. Included in this reactor effluent decontamination study program are studies of process water recirculation systems, process water pre and post treatment methods, and effluent disposal to an artificial lake. This report reviews the artificial lake concept to determine its feasibility and possible effects on the concentration of radioactive isotopes in the Columbia River downstream of the Hanford Plant. The findings are based on the study and evaluation of available data. Meterological, hydrological, and biological absorption aspects of the artificial lake concept were studied several years ago. Little or no scientific work has been done in recent years to provide additional data to support the earlier preliminary studies.
