Data quality objectives for the second K West fuel examinations

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/330733· OSTI ID:330733
The Data Quality Objectives (DQOS) were established for the examinations of the second group of K West fuel samples. The examinations will expand the initial understanding obtained for fuel stored in closed canisters with emphasis on whole element drying and conditioning testing and Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) for oxidation behavior, drying, and hydrogen release. The laboratory examinations addressed in this DQO take into account the extent and diversity of the fuel damage as indicated by previous in-basin examinations. A total of fifteen fuel elements are identified for laboratory examinations. Three of these elements are designated for surface coating examinations and two elements are designated for examination of subsurface sludge accumulations and for sectioning of small samples for TGA measurement.
