Reactor-building-basement radionuclide-distribution studies
Eight sump samples from the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) Reactor Building were taken during Entry 10 on May 14, 1981, through the covered hatch on the 305-foot elevation. A single sump sample was taken during Entry 16 on September 4, 1981, through the open stairwell on the same elevation. The data obtained will provide information for mass balance determinations, selection of decontamination techniques, and accident diagnosis. The samples were analyzed for radionuclide concentration by two independent laboratories, Exxon Nuclear Idaho Company Inc. (ENICO) and EG and G Idaho, Inc., at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL). Analytical methods are described and the data are reported in tables.
