Calculating Disposal Inventory Limits Using Waste-Form Specific Kd Values

Conference ·
OSTI ID:799684

The amount of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) that can be emplaced at a disposal site is dependent on several factors. Key among these is the interactions of the radionuclide with the waste, engineered barriers, and geological media at the disposal site. The objective of this study was to make laboratory measurements of waste-specific Kd values and to use the laboratory measured Kd values in calculations to estimate the inventory disposal limit at the Savannah River Site's E-Area LLW Facility.
