Results for the Third Quarter Calendar Year 2017 Tank 50 Salt Solution Sample
In this memorandum, the chemical and radionuclide contaminant results from the Third Quarter Calendar Year 2017 (CY17) sample of Tank 50 salt solution are presented in tabulated form. The Third Quarter CY17 Tank 50 samples [a 200 mL sample obtained 6” below the surface (HTF-50-17-62) and a 1 L sample obtained 66” from the tank bottom (HTF-50-17-63)] were obtained on July 17, 2017 and received at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) on July 17, 2017. Prior to obtaining the samples from Tank 50, a single pump was run at least 4.4 hours and the samples were pulled immediately after pump shut down. All volatile organic analysis (VOA) and semi-volatile organic analysis (SVOA) were performed on the surface sample and all other analyses were performed on the variable depth sample. The information from this characterization will be used by Savannah River Remediation (SRR) for the transfer of aqueous waste from Tank 50 to the Saltstone Production Facility, where the waste will be treated and disposed of in the Saltstone Disposal Facility.
