Environmental Surveillance of the Palos Park Forest Preserve

Description: This is the second report describing an ongoing environmental surveillance program conducted at the Palos Park Forest Preserve near Chicago, Illinois. The Preserve was a site of a nuclear research laboratory (Site A) from 1943 to 1956 and a radioactive waste burial site (Plot M) from 1944 to 1949. An extensive radiological characterization of the site was conducted from February 1976 to August 1977, and tritium in the form of water was found to be the only radionuclide that migrated from the nu… more

Methods for Removing Transuranic Elements from Waste Solutions

Description: This report outlines a treatment scheme for separating and concentrating the transuranic (TRU) elements present in aqueous waste solutions stored at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). The treatment method selected is carrier precipitation. Potential carriers will be evaluated in future laboratory work, beginning with ferric hydroxide and magnetite. The process will result in a supernatant with alpha activity low enough that it can be treated in the existing evaporator/concentrator at ANL. The s… more

Preliminary Plan for Treating Mixed Waste

Description: A preliminary waste treatment plan was developed for disposing of radioactive inorganic liquid wastes that contain hazardous metals and/or hazardous acid concentrations at Argonne National Laboratory. This plan, which involves neutralization and sulfide precipitation followed by filtration, reduces the concentration of hazardous metals and the acidity so that the filtrate liquid is simply a low-level radioactive waste that can be fed to a low-level waste evaporator.

Site Surveillance and Maintenance Program for Palos Park : Report for 1986

Description: The results of the environmental monitoring program conducted at Site A/Plot M in the Palos Park Forest Preserve area for CY 1986 are presented. The monitoring program is the ongoing remedial action that resulted from the original radiological characterization of the site. The program consists of sample collection and analysis of air, surface and subsurface water, and bottom sediment to determine the migration pathway of water from the burial ground (Plot M) to hand-operated picnic wells, estab… more

Environmental Radioactivity at Argonne National Laboratory. Report for the Year 1953

Description: The radioactive content of samples of rain, surface water, soil, plants, and material from the beds of surface waters (bottom silt) which were collected and analyzed during 1953 are given in this report. Samples were collected form the Laboratory site, at locations with 25 miles, and at places 100 miles from the Laboratory. Since Laboratory waste water is discharged into Sawmill Creek, water from the this stream was analyzed daily. Other samples were collected from the Laboratory site periodica… more
