A Program for Enhanced Sampling and Analysis of Tritium

Conference ·
OSTI ID:799377
Tritium is one of the major contaminants released into surface water from the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS). All releases to surface water occur to one of the five major onsite streams, which eventually discharge into the Savannah River. The Savannah River is the source of water for two drinking water treatment plants (WTP), which are located approximately 100 miles downriver of SRS. As a result of unplanned liquid discharges in 1986 and 1991, representatives of these WTPs have expressed an interest in obtaining increased information on tritium concentrations in the river. The Enhanced Tritium Monitoring (ETM) program was developed to meet these concerns.
