National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Evaluation of Proposed New LLW Disposal Activity: Disposal of PCB Waste Containing Unanalyzed Radionuclides.

DE2004826445

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Wilhite, E. L.
Page Count	52
Abstract	A number of low-level waste containers that also have PCBs in them contain radionuclides that have not been analyzed in the Performance Assessment. A simple bounding analysis (i.e., assigning the most restrictive of the trench radionuclide limits to each of the unanalyzed radionuclides and adjusting for differences in Maximum Contaminant Level for selected radionuclides) shows that disposal of these radionuclides will not compromise performance objectives.
Keywords	Polychlorinated biphenyls Radioactive waste disposal Containers Design Evaluation Radioisotopes Flexibility Inventories Compliance Low level radioactive wastes Waste forms Drinking water Performance Assessments
