Plan for characterization of K Basin spent nuclear fuel and sludge

Sampling and analysis plan for canister liquid and gas sampling at 105 KW fuel storage basin

“…a l t e r n a t i v e s requires information about the s t a t e and c o n d i t i o n o f the f u e l elements i n the canisters. These data w i l l be obtained from l a b o r a t o r y analyses o f selected f u e l elements (Lawrence and Marschman 1995) which have been removed from the 105-KW basin. SAP supports the s e l e c t i o n o f the f u e l elements t o be examined and provides a d d i t i o n a l data concerning the extent o f f u e l corrosion.…”

“…This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) details the sampling and analyses to be performed on fuel canisters transferred to the Weasel Pit of the 105-KW fuel storage basin. The radionuclide content of the liquid and gas in the canisters must be evaluated to support the shipment of fuel elements to the 300 Area in support of the fuel characterization studies (Lawrence and Marschman 1995). The following sections provide background information and a description of the facility under investigation, discuss the existing site conditions, present the constituents of concern, outline the purpose and scope of the investigation, summarize the data quality objectives (DQO), provide analytical detection limit, precision, and accuracy requirements, and address other quality assurance (QA) issues.…”
