Free-Moisture Content and {sup 129}I-Kd Values of Filtercake Material Generated from the F-Area Groundwater Treatment Unit
Laboratory tests were conducted for the Environmental Restoration Division (ERD) to evaluate whether filtercake waste generated from the F-Area Ground Water Treatment Unit (GWTU) would satisfy the free moisture Waste Acceptance Criteria, WAC, (less than 1 vol- percent free moisture after transport) of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) (DOE 2000). The vibration test used in this study is an operationally defined parameter that is not expected to simulate precisely the conditions during filtercake transport between the Savannah River Site (SRS) and the NTS. However, the laboratory tests are expected to provide information about trends related to free moisture release. The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) the influence of total moisture content on the amount of free moisture released from the filtercake waste, (2) whether resin material used downstream of the treatment process had mixed into the filtercake, (3) 129I-Kd values for the filtercake, and (4) 129I concentrations in the filtercake.
