Assembly Operations Welding Filter(s) in Drum Calculation

Abstract

This calculation documents the estimation of temperature and pressure rise inside a 55-gal TRU waste drum with a HEPA filter containing Titanium and Tantalum fume dust based on operational history. Actual Titanium values are believed to be less than 10g on any given filter. Actual Tantalum values are believed to be less than 1g on any given filter

West Valley Demonstration Project (WVDP) Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER) for Calendar Year 2025

The report, prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy West Valley Demonstration Project office (DOE-WVDP), summarizes the environmental protection program at the WVDP for calendar year (CY) 2025. Monitoring and surveillance of the facilities used by the DOE are conducted to verify protection of public health and safety and the environment. The report is a key component of the DOE’s effort to keep the public informed of environmental conditions at the WVDP. The quality assurance protocols applied to the environmental monitoring program ensure the validity and accuracy of the monitoring data. In addition to demonstrating compliance with environmental laws, regulations, and directives, the evaluation of data collected in 2025 continued to indicate that WVDP activities posed no threat to public health or safety, or to the environment.
