Title: Preliminary Criticality Safety Evaluation for In Situ Grouting in the Subsurface Disposal Area

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/911465· OSTI ID:911465

A preliminary criticality safety evaluation is presented for in situ grouting in the Subsurface Disposal Area (SDA) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The grouting materials evaluated are cement and paraffin. The evaluation determines physical and administrative controls necessary to preclude criticality and identifies additional information required for a final criticality safety evaluation. The evaluation shows that there are no criticality concerns with cementitious grout but a neutron poison such as boron would be required for the use of the paraffin matrix.
