Results for the Third Quarter 2007 Tank 50h Wac Slurry Sample: Chemical and Radionuclide Contaminant Results

Characterization of Core Sample Collected from the Saltstone Disposal Facility

“…(2) where; W D is the mass of the sample immersed in salt solution and surface dried, W IB is the mass of the sample immersed and boiled in salt solution and surface dried, and W IBS is the mass of the sample boiled in salt solution, cooled, and then suspended.…”

Characterization of Core Sample Collected From the Saltstone Disposal Facility

“…The bulk density of the immersed sample was calculated by the equation where; BD I is the bulk density of the immersed sample as defined by ASTM C 642, W I is the mass of the sample immersed in salt solution and surface dried, W IB is the mass of the sample immersed and boiled in salt solution and surface dried, W IBS is the mass of the sample boiled in salt solution, cooled, and then suspended, and ρ is the density of the salt solution after boiling. (2) where; W D is the mass of the sample immersed in salt solution and surface dried, W IB is the mass of the sample immersed and boiled in salt solution and surface dried, and W IBS is the mass of the sample boiled in salt solution, cooled, and then suspended.…”

Saltstone Cy07 TCLP Results

“…The weight percent solids data used for the TCLP samples were taken from the quarterly Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC) analyses performed on Tank 50. [4][5][6][7] Table 1 lists the concentration TCLP metals of interest in the salt solution from the WAC analyses from the samples taken in 2007. Complete analyses of the salt solution used are in References 2-5.…”

“…From Figure 2, it can be seen that the saltstone sample is 45.52 wt% salt solution. Reference 7 reports a specific gravity of 1.22. …”
