TRU Waste Sampling Program: Volume II. Gas generation studies

Creators

Description

Volume II of the TRU Waste Sampling Program report contains the data generated from evaluating the adequacy of venting/filtering devices for maintaining safe hydrogen levels in plutonium contaminated waste drums. Additional studies reported in this volume include gas generation rates, selected waste form monitoring, and evaluation of hydrogen migration from sealed 90-mil rigid polyethylene drum liners containing 238Pu-contaminated wastes. All wastes used in the studies were newly-generated, and the waste drums were under controlled, experimental conditions. Studies using 239Pu-contaminated wastes were conducted at the Rocky Flats Plant. Studies using 238Pu-contaminated wastes were conducted at the Los Alamos National Laboratory
