Status of the Full Circumference Examination of the Inner Container Closure Weld Region for Selected 3013 DE Container
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
One of the main focus areas of the 3013 Surveillance Program is a thorough evaluation of the inner container closure weld region (ICCWR) opened for destructive examination (DE). As part of the protocol to investigate the corrosion in the ICCWR a laser confocal microscope (LCM) is used to perform close visual examination of the surface and measurements of corrosion features on the surface. In FY17, DE containers from FY13 through FY16 were evaluated to select candidates for a full circumference analysis of the ICCWR. In FY18, the selected DE containers for full circumference evaluation (FCE) were processed according to the ICCWR protocol. However, due to the time intensive task for collecting high magnification images for a full circumference, only FY15 DE07 was selected for completion of LCM data collection in FY18 with the remaining DE containers scheduled to be completed in FY19.
