Tank characterization report for single-shell tank 241-C-110. Revision 1

“…Push core sampling and analysis were performed as directed by the sampling and analysis plan (Hill et al 1991). Although the sampling event predated current DQOs, sample results were evaluated against the safety screening DQO (Dukelow et al 1995).…”

“…Analytical requirements for this sampling event are described in the Waste Characterizadon Plan for the Hanford Site Single-Shell Tanh (Hill et al 1991). Information on holding times can be found in Tank Characterization Reference Guide (De Lorenzo et al 1994).…”

The Sort on Radioactive Waste Type model: A method to sort single-shell tanks into characteristic groups. Revision 2

“…The model results provided a key to the selection of tanks to be core sampled in FY 1992, as discussed in the Waste Characterization Plan for the Hanford Site Single-Shell Tanks (Hill et al 1991). Between 1943 and1964, 149 SSTs were built for the storage of liquid and solid radioactive wastes at the Hanford Site.…”

“…The validity of the SORWT grouping model was tested by performing a statistical analysis verification study on a limited amount of core sample data, which came from earlier studies (Winters et al 1989(Winters et al , 1990Hill et al 1991). It is important to note that, at the time these core samples were collected, there existed only the capability to sample relatively soft sludge-like wastes.…”

“…The full rationale and justification for the requested core samples can be found in Hill et al (1991). Due to sampling difficulties and changes in programmatic priorities, not all of the tanks requested for sampling in Hill et al (1991) were actually sampled.…”
