Abstract

Excavation of the 618-2 Burial Ground has produced many items of anomalous waste. Prior to temporary packaging and/or storage, these items have been characterized in the field to identify radiological and industrial safety conditions.

618-10 Burial Ground Trench Remediation and 618-10 and 618-11 Burial Ground Nonintrusive Characterization of Vertical Pipe Units Lessons Learned

Technical Report Darby, J. W.

A “lessons learned” is a noteworthy practice or innovative approach that is captured and shared to promote repeat application, or an adverse work practice/experience that is captured and shared to avoid reoccurrence. This document provides the lessons learned identified by the 618-10 Burial Ground trench remediation and the 618-10 and 618-11 Burial Ground nonintrusive characterization of the vertical pipe units (VPUs).

Introduction and background sections. 2. Part I. Straight tube sampling probe. Final report. [Particulate sampling from a straight tube and from a continuous stirred-tank reactor]

Technical Report Mahalingam, R.

Particulate sampling experiments were carried out sampling both from a straight tube and from a continuous stirred tank reactor. Mathematical models for both were developed. For the straight tube case: flow rate was important; sedimentation was important for particles > 5 ..mu..m in a horizontal pipe; thermophoresis was important if temperature gradients existed; Brownian motion, condensation and nucleation and coagulation were less important in the experimental conditions. For sampling from the stirred tank reactor, a different model was necessary. Thermophoresis was important with high temperature gradients; with fine particles (< 0.1 ..mu..m) Brownian diffusion and at high concentrations, coagulation weremore »« less
Enhanced Site Characterization of the 618-4 Burial Ground

Technical Report Murray, Christopher J. ; Last, George V. ; Chien, Yi-Ju

This report describes the results obtained from deployment of the Enhanced Site Characterization System (ESCS) at the Hanford Site's 618-4 Burial Ground. The objective of this deployment was to use advanced geostatistical methods to integrate and interpret geophysical and ground truth data, to map the physical types of waste materials present in unexcavated portions of the burial ground. One issue of particularly interest was the number of drums (containing depleted uranium metal shavings or uranium-oxide powder) remaining in the burial ground and still requiring removal.Fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (ART), a neural network classification method, was used to cluster the studymore »« less

618-10 Burial Ground VPU Nonintrusive Characterization Process and Data Collection Workshop

Technical Report S. Khabir

This report presents the nonintrusive characterization measurement results for the 618-10 Burial Ground and provides a general assessment of the estimated dose, isotopic concentrations, and bounding transuranic radionuclide inventories for the 618-10 vertical pipe units and trenches, based on interpretation of data from a system of in situ radiological multi-detector probes.

Characterization of 618-11 solid waste burial ground, disposed waste, and description of the waste generating facilities

Technical Report Hladek, K.L.

The 618-11 (Wye or 318-11) burial ground received transuranic (TRTJ) and mixed fission solid waste from March 9, 1962, through October 2, 1962. It was then closed for 11 months so additional burial facilities could be added. The burial ground was reopened on September 16, 1963, and continued operating until it was closed permanently on December 31, 1967. The burial ground received wastes from all of the 300 Area radioactive material handling facilities. The purpose of this document is to characterize the 618-11 solid waste burial ground by describing the site, burial practices, the disposed wastes, and the waste generatingmore »« less
