Geophysical investigation for proposed flow meter installation holes, 100H Area

Description: The objectives of the surveys were to locate subsurface obstructions that may affect the drilling of two holes to be fit with flow meters in the 100-H Area of the Hanford Site (Figure 1). Possible drill sites with the least likelihood of encountering identified obstructions were identified based upon the results of the survey. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was the method selected for the investigations. The electromagnetic induction method was also used to verify that the general site is relat… more

Geophysical investigation of 218-W-4C trenches {number_sign}1 and {number_sign}4, 200 west

Description: The objective of these surveys was to determine the effectiveness of Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) for defining the depth and location of barrels in Burial Ground 218-W-4C, 200 West area of the Hanford Reservation. GPR data were collected in a portion of trench {number_sign}1-module 3 and trench {number_sign}4. The GPR system used for this work utilized a 300-megahertz antenna to transmit the electromagnetic energy into the ground. A percentage of the transmitted energy is reflected back to a … more

Geophysical investigation of trench 4, Burial Ground 218-W-4C, 200 west area

Description: This report contains the results of a geophysical investigation conducted to characterize Trench 4, located in Burial Ground 218-W-4C, 200 West Area. Trench 4 is where transuranic (TRU) waste is stored. The primary objective of these geophysical investigations was to determine the outer edges of the trench/modules and select locations for plate-bearing tests. The test locations are to be 5 to 8 ft. beyond the edges of the trench. Secondary objectives include differentiating between the differen… more

Application of intrinsic germanium spectral gamma-ray logging for characterization of high-level nuclear waste tank leaks

Description: Spectral gamma-ray logging with a high-resolution, intrinsic germanium logging system was completed in boreholes surrounding two high-level nuclear waste tanks at the US Department of Energy`s Hanford Site. The purpose was to characterize the concentrations of man-made radionuclides in the unsaturated zone sediments and identify any new leaks from the tanks. An intrinsic germanium detection system was used for this work because it was important to positively identify the specific radionuclides … more
