Characterization results for the 2020 tank farm 2H and 3H evaporator overhead samples
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
The 2020 annual 2H and 3H Evaporator overhead samples were received at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) on December 22, 2020. The delivered samples were analyzed for concentration of cesium-137 (137Cs), strontium-90 (90Sr) and iodine-129 (129I) to validate compliance with the Effluent Treatment Project Waste Acceptance Criteria (ETP WAC, Rev. 7). The concentration of all three radionuclides, 137Cs, 90Sr, and 129I, in the 2H Evaporator overhead sample were found to be less than the corresponding ETP WAC limits. Radiochemical analysis of the 3H Evaporator overhead sample indicated a 137Cs content about an order of magnitude higher than the acceptable threshold value, and 90Sr and 129I concentrations within the acceptance limits.
