Closure plan for the X-701C Neutralization Pit
The Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PORT) has been operating since 1954. The PORTS facility is used to enrich uranium for nuclear navy applications and commercial nuclear reactors. The X-701C Pit is considered a hazardous waste management unit because of past operation as a waste water treatment unit and because it continues to contain ground water contaminated with TCA and TCE. The X-701C Neutralization Pit began operation in approximately 1953. The X-701C Pit received process effluents and basement sump wastewaters. Wastes received were acid and alkali solutions (sodium acid sulfate, sodium hydroxide, chromic acid cleaning solution) and rinse water result;ng from metal cleaning operations and typically contained trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (U226, U228, F001). Wastes were released on a batch basis to the X-701C Pit where lime was added to normalize the pH. An agitator in the bottom of the pit ensured even mixing of wastes entering the X-701C Pit. To date the Pit contains contaminated wash water, groundwater and rainwater. This report describes closure plans for the Pit.
