Use of reactor effluent water as steam plant boiler feed

Description: The radiological aspects of a proposal to recover some of the heat now wasted in cooling water from the Hanford reactors by using the hot water as boiler feed for the steam plants in the 100 Areas are evaluated. The radioactive material in the hot effluent water will contaminate the boiler feed water system, cause additional radiation exposure of personnel, and increase the cost of maintenance and radiation protection, but very little radioactive material will be carried over into the steam sys… more

Sampling SX-tank farm condensate

Description: In accordance with the policy that a centralized inventory shall be kept of all radioactive waste liquid discharged to ground, it is recommended that the volumes of condensate from the SX-farm, the dates or periods of discharge, and the activity densities of radioisotopes in the condensate discharged be determined by Separations Section and reported regularly to the Radiological Standards Unit. This paper is a description of the condensate system, with recommendations for sampling and analysis.

Disposal of irradiated waste Ink'' solution (Production Test 105-529-A)

Description: Boron solution circulated through special poison tubes to achieve more variable control of neutron flattening'' was tested in the 100-DR Hanford reactor. About 2700 gallons of irradiated waste Ink solution from Production Test 105-529-A was discharged to an underground crib at 100-DR, after radiochemical analyses and evaluation of radiation protection aspects by the Radiological Sciences Department. In case the Ink method is considered for production use at Hanford in the future, further biolog… more

The hazards to humans of wildfowl on REDOX contaminated swamp

Description: Ducks, geese, coots, and other wild birds, both migratory and resident, have been swimming on the Redox waste water pond and eating the herbage and mud on the bottom. The pond is caused by the discharge of five to ten million gallons of water a day from the heating and cooling coils of reactor vessels in the Redox plant. At least twice in recent months leaks in the coils have permitted solutions of radioactive material to escape to the swamp. Once the leak was in the waste concentrator tank and… more

Laundered protective clothing survey

Description: It is considered appropriate occasionally to make independent checks on the effectiveness of the plant laundry in removing radioactive contamination from plant-issue protective clothing. Previous surveys have offered constructive criticism resulting in improved handling of high level and soft beta contaminated clothing and incorporation in new designs of ventilating and air sampling recommendations. Recurrently the adequacy of laundry reject limits is questioned, and only recently an accurate, … more

Sampling of scavenged waste

Description: Sampling and analysis of scavenged waste is necessary to determine if the settled supernate is suitable for disposal to ground and to make corrections in pretreatment of the waste with minimum delay if unsuitable supernate is being produced. From experience to date with TBP waste scavenging and initial first cycle waste scavenging, which are generally similar, the procedures discussed in this report for sampling, analysis, and reporting of results for these two wastes are recommended to fulfill… more

Permissible limits for reactor cooling water assimilated by humans

Description: A permissible limit for the release of waste cooling water from the Hanford reactors into the Columbia River must be determined not only from the effect on humans of assimilation of the radioactive isotopes in the water, but also from the effects of temperature, submersion dose, and metabolism of radioisotopes on fish and other aquatic life in the river, and of concentration in plants of the radioisotopes in irrigation water from the river, with eventual consequences to humans. This report deri… more

Tabulation of radioactive liquid waste disposal facilities

Description: The following lists describe facilities in the Hanford project for disposal of radioactive liquid waste into the ground. Most are for planned disposals, but included are several which were not intended to become contaminated, but did, and several others which may be expected to become contaminated similarly. Not included are sanitary, powerhouse and a few other liquid disposal facilities which may receive only insignificant amounts of radioactive material. The lists do not include solid waste d… more

Radioactivity Levels of the Columbia River Below Richland, Washington for the Period January, February, March 1956

Description: In the Columbia River downstream from Richland, Washington there is a gradual decrease in the concentration of radioactive isotopes. At any one location there are fluctuations due to factors such as ditution and decay time. During this period at all locations the concentration of alpha particle emitters in water averaged below the detection limit of 3 x 10⁻⁹ μ c/gm. Beta particle emitters in water upstream of McNary Dam increased by a factor of 1.5 to 2, with averages at various locations rangi… more

Recommended Limit for Radioactive Liquid Disposal From Hanford Separations Plants to Surface Ponds

Description: The purpose of this report is to establish a practical control limit for the activity density (concentration) of radioactive material that may be permitted in large-volume waste waters discharged from the Hanford separations plants to open ponds on the surface of the ground nearby, in consideration of the radiological hazards,

Radioactivity Levels of the Columbia River Below Richland, Washington for the Period April, May, June 1956

Description: In the Columbia River downstream from Richland, Washington there is a gradual decrease in concentration of radioactive isotope. At any one location there are fluctuations due to factors such as dilution and decay time. During this period at all locations the concentration of alpha particle emitters in water averaged below the detection limit. Beta particle emitters in water upstream of McNary Dam decreased slightly due to increased river flow this quarter, with averages at various locations. Do… more
