Sampling and analysis of high-level waste at West Valley

Description
Three samples of the supernatant in the main waste storage tank at the West Valley site were taken at different depths. Exhaustive chemical and radiological analyses were performed. The sampling was successfully done under several restraints using an air eductor device which could be lowered into the tank through a 200-cm riser opening. An assumption of homogeneity could reasonably be made based on the analytical and other data. Valuable design information was obtained from the analytical work. Inferences regarding the sludge composition could also be made from the supernatant analysis
