Waste inventory

The chemical agent waste inventory is listed in Table 6.1. 

Bulk agents included mustard (bis-2-chloroethyl sulfide, 12 tonnes), lewisite (2-chlorovinyl-dichloro arsine, 2.5 tonnes) and nerve agents in the G- and V-classes (0.3 tonne). The scrap (400 tonnes) consisted mainly of several thousand empty, mustard-contaminated 210 drums and ordnance casings stored in open pits. All of the lewisite and some of the mustard and nerve agents were stored in 1 ton containers. Nerve agents were also stored in non-explosive ordnance, primarily 105 and 155 mm artillery shells. Mustard which had aged or had been thickened with polymers was also contained in non-explosive ordnance. The waste previously had been sorted by type, collected and stored at four remote, protected sites on the EPG.

The rather thoughtless use of chemical compounds for plant protection in the second half of the XX century has brought about the accumulation in the storehouses of some facilities of about 1000 tons of preparations that are unfit for use, forbidden or unidentified. The sanitary and epidemiological service jointly with the Ecological inspection and the District station for plant protection are conducting an inventory of the storage sites of these toxic wastes. Inventory data with indications for the place of the storage, the names of the preparations and their quantity is kept in a computer database. 

The amount of agent-contaminated wastes to be disposed of during closure is estimated to be approximately 5.8 million pounds, according to the Facility Closure Plan (Table 1 in the Plan) (U.S. Army, 2000a). This quantity includes (1) waste stored on-site as of April 2000, (2) predicted increases in waste until the end of the munitions campaign (completed November 2000), (3) coprocessing of heavy machinery, (4) USACAP waste inventory, and (5) closure wastes from dismantlement and decontamination primarily in the MDB. Approximately 2.1 million pounds is expected from the dismantlement of the first and second floors of the MDB and the HVAC systems. In addition, approximately...

The predicted waste inventory for the repository indicates that potentially significant quantities of the organic ligands—acetate, citrate, oxalate, and EDTA—will be present (US DOE, 1996). Actinide interactions with these compounds were not considered in the speciation and solubility modeling, as calculations suggested that they would be mostly complexed by transition metal ions (Fe, Ni " ", Cr, and Mn " ") released by corrosion of the steel waste containers and waste components. A thermodynamic model of actinide-ligand interactions appropriate to brines will be included in solubility calculations for WIPP recertification.

Of particular relevance is the inherent hazard represented by the radioactive inventory of the waste and is the summed product of the activity (Bq) of each radionuclide present and its corresponding Specific Instantaneous Toxic Potential (SITP). This can be adjusted for decay for longer timescales and it is usual to employ the full radionuclide inventory for waste streams as sampled and quantified by Magnox Electric Ltd and reported in the U.K. Radioactive Waste Inventory. ...

Eight samples of un-irradiated reactor pressure vessel (RPV) steel, two each from Trawsfynydd (TRA), Dungeness A (DNA), Sizewell A (SXA) and Bradwell (BWA) reactors were analysed. ICP-MS analysis was carried out using a high resolution magnetic sector instrument. Despite the sensitivity of this method, i.e. lower limit of detection (LLD) of around 8 pg g for procedural blanks, it failed to detect Li and achieved a detection limit of 80 ng g, which was well above the level of interest. However, the results were consistent and did show that the Li concentration was well below that found from the earlier analytical attempts (ICP-OES) and below the levels conservatively assumed in the waste inventory assessments.

Because the residual waste is in solidified form inside of steel containers in the elevator pit, and the combustion of hydrogen in the pit will not affect the solidified waste, the waste inventory is in a form which is not readily available for release (DOE 1994d). Thus, there is no credible source term of any significant magnitude.
