Evaluation of isotope migration, land burial. Water chemistry at commercially operated low-level radioactive waste disposal sites. Progress report No. 10, July-September 1978
Water samples were collected by anoxic procedures from trenches 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 at the West Valley, New York low-level radioactive waste disposal site. In-situ measurements of pH, Eh, specific conductance, and temperature were made. The results of inorganic, organic, and radiochemical analyses are reported. Acid-base titration curves exhibit the complex nature of these waters compared to local ground water. The methylene chloride extraction technique used to isolate acidic, neutral, and basic organic compounds from trench waters is described. Gas chromatograms and concentrations of individual compounds identified by GC/MS methods are shown. Cobalt-60, strontium-90, cesium-137, and plutonium-238, 239, 240 were found dissolved in all trench waters. Dissolved sodium-22 and cesium-134 were found in most trenches, whereas americium-241 was found dissolved only in trench 8.
