“…For the DI water dissolutions, aliquots were taken from the liquid portion after agitation and settling, although no significant residual solids were visible. The aqua regia dissolutions were submitted to radiological chemistry for 137 Cs (gamma scan), Pu isotopics, 241 Am, and 90 Sr, inductively coupled plasma -emission spectroscopy (ICP-ES) for elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma -mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) for certain actinide and fission product quantification, and atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy for the measurement of As, Se, Hg, and K. The water dilutions/dissolutions were submitted for ion chromatography (IC) for anion characterization, wet chemistry/titration for total base, free hydroxide, and CO 3 2-analysis, and total inorganic and organic carbon (TIC/TOC) analysis. An additional portion of the water-dissolved sample was submitted for 14 C analysis.…”
