Engineering analysis for disposal of depleted uranium tetrafluoride (UF{sub 4}).

Groundwater calculations for depleted uranium disposed of as uranium tetrafluoride (UF{sub 4}).

“…Calculations were performed for two initial inventories of UF 4 : 500,000 and 630,000 metric tons (t). These values are consistent with 560,000 and 705,000 t of disposed uranium hexafluoride (UF 6 ), respectively, discussed in Folga and Kier (2001). Disposal was in either 30-or 50-gal drums.…”

“…The range of the solubilities of the potential radioactive dissolution products for Equation 3 is 2.4 × 10 -3 to 24 g/L, as discussed above. Footprint areas for the different disposal options are listed in Table 1 (Folga and Kier 2001).…”
