Augmented evaluation of soil contamination at the Savannah River Site outside Building 772-1F

Technical Report · Mon Jul 01 00:00:00 EDT 1991

OSTI ID:5387129

Radioactive contamination of soil adjacent to the outside south wall of Building 772-1F (a laboratory facility) at the Savannah River Site (SRS) was reported to the Department of Energy (DOE) Headquarters on April 24, 1991. The soil was contaminated as a result of leaks in the piping and in the secondary containment trench of the laboratory liquid-waste drainage system inside Building 772-1F. Contamination in storm drains outside the building was also detected. Because of the potential safety implications of the leaks and contamination, the Office of Self-Assessment and Emergency Management (DP-9) formed an Augmented Evaluation Team (AET) for an on-site diagnostic assessment. The AET was composed of staff from Defense Programs (DP-9 and DP-60), DOE Field Office, Savannah River (SR), a specialist from DOE Field Office, Idaho (ID), a consultant provided by the Nuclear Systems Safety Program of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. This report discusses the AET findings.
