Low-Activity Waste and High-Level Waste Feed Processing Data Quality Objectives

FY2001 Tank Characterization Technical Sampling Basis & Waste Information Requirements Document

“…The information that describes the drivers and the characterization needs for the Waste Feed Processing and Disposal (WP&D) management of Waste Immobilization Phase 1 is described in the Low-Activity Waste and High-Level Waste Feed Processing Data Quality Objectives (Patello et al 1999). The purpose of this DQO is to provide preliminary information for planning and design of process and facilities and for Immobilized Low-Activity Waste (ILAW) and Immobilized High-Activity Waste (IHLW) storage and disposal design and specifications.…”

Tank 241-AZ-102 Privatization Push Mode Core Sampling and Analysis Plan

“…Data Quality Objectives (L&H DQO) (Patello et al 1999), Tank Safety Screening Data Quality Objective (Safety Screening DQO) (Dukelow et al 1995), Data Quality Objective to Support Resolution ofthe Flammable Gas Safety Issue (Flammable Gas DQO) (Bauer and Jackson 1998) and Characterization Data Needs for Development, Design, and Operation of Retrieval Equipment Developed through the Data Quality Objective Process (Equipment DQO) (Bloom 1996) The Tank Characterization Technical Sampling Basis document (Brown et al 1998) indicates that these issues, except the Equipment DQO apply to tank 241-AZ-102 for this sampling event. Poppiti (1 999) requires additional americium-241 analyses of the sludge segments.…”

“…The requirement to dry the solids fraction of the tank composite at 105 "C ("solids B") prior to analysis (Patello et al 1999) is waived per customer request for tank 241-AZ-102 only.…”
