Shale fracturing injections at Oak Ridge National Laboratory: 1975 series
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7264593
Intermediate level waste solution generated at ORNL is periodically mixed with a cement base blend of dry solids and injected into an impermeable shale formation at an approximate depth of 800 ft. Shortly after the injection the grout mix sets, permanently fixing the radionuclides in the shale formation. A series of three injections of intermediate level waste solution was made in 1975. A total of 190,000 gal of waste solution containing 86,700 Ci of radionuclides was injected. This report is an account of this injection series-- preparations, injections, results, and conclusions. A summary of the volumes and activities that were injected is given.
