Special Analysis for the Disposal of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Activated Metal Waste Stream at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada
- National Security Technologies, LLC. (NSTec), Mercury, NV (United States)
This special analysis (SA) evaluates whether the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Activated Metal waste stream is suitable for disposal by shallow land burial at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The ORNL Activated Metal waste stream consists of metal irradiated in ORNL research reactors. The ORNL Activated Metal waste stream requires an SA to resolve two unreviewed disposal questions (UDQs). The first UDQ addresses whether it is acceptable to dispose 12 radionuclides with activity concentrations that exceed the NNSS Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) Action Level. The second UDQ evaluates the acceptability of disposing of 23 long-lived radionuclides without WAC action levels. Long-lived radionuclides without action levels are radionuclides not evaluated in the performance assessment.
