Commercial Nuclear Waste Research and Development Program. Quarterly report, October-December 1984
Draft plans for shipping the fuel assemblies at E-MAD to the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory and subsequent closure of the E-MAD facility were prepared for DOE/NV in response to a request from DOE/HQ. All WTSD-Nevada Operations Quality Assurance administrative procedures were reviewed and updated, and new procedures were written to cover requirements of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) Project Plan defined in the NNWSI Quality Assurance Plan. Collection of data on drywell storage of four canisterized fuel assemblies was concluded. Monthly gas samples were acquired to monitor the integrity of the fuel assembly utilized in the test. Gas samples were taken from the eight sealed canisters containing fuel assemblies (excluding B41). Contamination swipe samples were collected from the seven fuel assemblies being stored in unwelded canisters. Additional gas sampling of the canister containing fuel assembly B41 was initiated, at PNL request. This fuel assembly has been a suspected leaker since it was received at E-MAD in 1979.
