The EPICOR-II Resin/Liner Investigation: Low-Level Waste Database Development Program, funded by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, is (a) studying the degradation effects in EPICOR-II organic ion exchange resins caused by radiation, (b) examining the adequacy of tests procedures recommended in the Branch Technical Position of Waste Forms to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 61 using solidified EPICOR-II resins, (c) obtaining performance information on solidified EPICOR-II ion exchange resins in a disposal environment, and (d) determining the condition of EPICOR-II liners. Results of the third sampling analysis of ion exchange resins from prefilters PF-8 and PF-20 are compared with baselines data from tests performed on unirradiated resins and with results from the first and second samplings to determine if degradation has occurred because of the high internal radiation dose. Results of compression tests on seven-year old waste forms containing EPICOR-II resins solidified with both portland Type I-II cement and DOW vinyl ester-styrene are presented and compared to earlier compression test data. Results of the fifth year of data acquisition from the field testing are also presented and discussed. 28 refs., 52 figs., 14 tabs.
