Market Available Virgin Nickel Analysis Data Summary Interpretation Report
- Univ of KY, Center for Applied Energy Research, Kentucky Research Consortium for Energy and Environment
Collection, analysis, and assessment of market available nickel samples for their radionuclide content is being conducted to support efforts of the Purchase Area Community Reuse Organization (PACRO) to identify and implement a decontamination method that will allow for the sale and recycling of contaminated Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant (PGDP) nickel-metal stockpiles. The objectives of the Nickel Project address the lack of radionuclide data in market available nickel metal. The lack of radionuclide data for commercial-recycled nickel metal or commercial-virgin nickel metal has been detrimental to assessments of the potential impacts of the free-release of recycled PGDP nickel on public health. The nickel project, to date, has only evaluated "virgin" nickel metal which is derived form non-recycled sources.
