Screening level characterization of electrical Substation 411

Technical Report · Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 EST 1990

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6174297· OSTI ID:6174297

Substation 411 transformer dielectric fluids were sampled for uranium and PCBs. The exterior surfaces of the metal transformers were measured for radioactivity. Results of the sampling revealed that some transformer fluid contained PCBs, but no uranium in excess of naturally occurring amounts was detected. In addition, the exterior surface of the transformers were uncontaminated. Subject to measurement of the base of the transformers (which were inaccessible during the surface scans for radioactivity), the transformers and dielectric fluids may be removed from the site for disposal. Two appendices are included: (a) a sampling plan, and (b) soil lab reports.
