The 2017 report Flammable Gas Generation Mechanisms for High Level Liquid Waste Facilities, X-ESRG- 00062 Rev. 1, assessing mechanisms for flammable gas generation acknowledged the presence of flammable organics, concluding that available data indicated their concentrations pose a minor contribution (e.g., <5%) to the composite lower flammable limit. Savannah River Remediation (SRR) chartered the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) to perform a more detailed assessment of available and emerging data to assess the current state of knowledge for formation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from thermolysis of organics in Savannah River Site (SRS) caustic tank waste.
