Offsite radiological consequence calculation for the bounding mixing of incompatible materials accident

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/810648· OSTI ID:810648

This document quantifies the offsite radiological consequence of the bounding mixing of incompatible materials accident for comparison with the 25 rem Evaluation Guideline established in DOE-STD-3009, Appendix A. The bounding accident is an inadvertent addition of acid to a waste tank containing high levels of caustic. Conservative input parameters were applied in accordance with the guidance provided. The calculated offsite dose does not challenge the Evaluation Guideline.
