Wind dilution required to reduce to tolerance levels the activity due to xenon and iodine in HEW dissolver off-gases

Description: The radio-active xenon and iodine evolved during the dissolution of the uranium may present a health hazard within certain areas around the base of the stack through which the dissolver off-gases are discharged. Since the concentration of these elements in the uranium metal is directly proportional to the power of the pile* and is related to decay period of the metal in accordance with their half-lifes, the maximum rate of discharge of these elements from the stack at H.E.W. can be estimated fo… more

Statement of work for services provided by the waste sampling and characterization facility for the effluent and environmental monitoring program during calendar year 1998

Description: This document defines the services the Waste Sampling and Characterization Facility (WSCF) shall provide the Effluent and Environmental Monitoring Program (EEM) throughout the calendar year for analysis. The purpose of the EEM Program is to monitor liquid and gaseous effluents, and the environment immediately around the facilities which may contain radioactive and hazardous materials. Monitoring data are collected, evaluated, and reported to determine their degree of compliance with applicable … more

I-129 in SRP high-level waste and saltstone

Description: Long-lived isotopes in nuclear waste can have the greatest impact on man and the environment because of the integrated dose over a long time period. Many long-lived radioactive isotopes are present in the waste at Savannah River Plant. Actinide elements make up a significant portion of these isotopes. But when the waste is incorporated into a glass waste form, the actinides are converted to chemically stable oxide species that are released at extremely low and controlled rates, even after the w… more

Production test IP-541-A reactor effluent studies

Description: The objective of this test is to determine the concentrations of radioisotopes in the effluent from a Zircaloy tube and an aluminum tube when both are charged with Zircaloy clad fuel elements and cooled with deionized water. Deionized water is currently being used as the coolant for a Zircaloy and an aluminum tube at KE Reactor. To date the fuel for these tubes has been aluminum clad. Progress is being made in assessing the relative importance of fuel element film and tube film on the radioisot… more

Radioactivity discharged in gaseous wastes from separations facilities 200 Area stacks during 1970

Description: This document summarizes by stack number the amount of radioactivity discharged from the facilities of Chemical Processing Division, Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company. Emission data for 231-Z Building and 2724-W, Laundry Building, which are operated by other AEC Contractors are not available for this report. Total beta, alpha and I{sup l3l} radioactive emissions from the stacks for 1970 were as follows: alpha (Pu, assumed) 1.59 {times} 10{sup {minus}1} C, alpha (U, assumed) 1.44 {times} 10{sup… more

Radioactivity in gaseous waste discharged from the separations facilities during 1974

Description: During 1973, approximately 4.79 x 10/sup 11/ ft/sup 3/ of gaseous effluents were monitored for radioactivity by the stack sampling program. The sum of the measured radioactivity was as follows: alpha (assumed source--Pu)--1.34 x 10/sup -3/ Ci and beta--0.263 Ci.

Surface Water Transport for the F/H Area Seepage Basins Groundwater Program

Description: The contribution of the F- and H-Area Seepage Basins (FHSBs) tritium releases to the tritium concentration in the Savannah River are presented in this report. WASP5 was used to simulate surface water transport for tritium releases from the FHSBs. The WASP5 model was qualified with the 1993 tritium measurements at US Highway 301. The tritium concentrations in Fourmile Branch and the Savannah River were calculated for tritium releases from FHSBs. The calculated tritium concentrations above normal… more
