Performance Assessment for the E-Area Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at the Savannah River Site: Chapter 8

This chapter, together with Appendix H, provides the necessary CWTS inventory limits and trigger values for every parent radionuclide not screened out in Sections 2.3.6, 2.3.7, and 2.3.8. Also provided are details associated with how generic and special waste forms are handled on a DU-specific basis, and a discussion of the conversion of preliminary inventory limits (via transport runs summarized in Chapter 5) into final inventory limits for use in the CWTS limits system. Using the final inventory limits, a projected 2065 CWTS inventory is generated for use in the PA closure analysis outlined in Chapter 9.

Application of Process Chemical Modeling to Optimize Radioactive Waste Disposal at the Savannah River Site - 24242

The Technical Optimization Model (TOM) is used by Savannah River Mission Completion (SRMC) to carry out facility-wide material balance and validate chemistrydependent processes for the purpose of their System Plan.The TOM simulates material movement and chemical reactions at the Tank Farm (TF), Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) and Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF).

Performance Assessment for the E-Area Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at the Savannah River Site: Appendix D

This appendix to Chapter 5, Section 5.1 provides supplemental concentration profiles for radionuclide species in STs and ETs that contribute to at least 0.1% of the sum-of-fractions. All concentrations are reported as pCi L -1 per Ci parent buried. The following nomenclature is used for all radionuclides in all DUs: an uppercase letter suffix indicates a SWF (e.g., I-129G, C-14N, H-3F, etc.), while the absence of an uppercase letter denotes a generic waste form (e.g., I-129, C-14, H-3, etc.).

Performance Assessment for the E-Area Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at the Savannah River Site: Appendix E

Supplemental transport model results for the LAWV from Chapter 5, Section 5.2.2 are provided in Section E.1.1 to compare concentrations at the 100-meter POA for the nominal PA case, best estimate case, and various sensitivity cases (Figure E-1 through Figure E-12). Second, Figure E-13 through Figure E-30 in Section E.1.2 display concentrations at the 100-meter POA for decay-chain daughter and parent radionuclides. Third, Figure E-31 through Figure E-34 in Section E.1.3 show maximum concentration contours for I-129. Only contour plots for I-129 from the remaining sensitivity runs are shown because I-129 is identified as the only radionuclide that impacts disposal limits for the LAWV. All concentration units, whether noted or not in the y-axis labels, are pCi L-1 per Ci parent buried.

Performance Assessment for the E-Area Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at the Savannah River Site: Appendix G

This appendix contains supporting information and key data used during the IHI analysis, including the following: • A list of parent radionuclides requiring IHI inventory limits (Section G.1) • Tables of IHI acute and chronic dose factors, inventory limits, and concentration limits for all DUs (Section G.2) • IHI acute and chronic dose history time profiles for all DUs (Section G.3)

Performance Assessment for the E-Area Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility at the Savannah River Site: Chapter 9

This chapter summarizes the results of PA compliance against all relevant PA POs and measures. The final inventory limits presented in Chapters 7 and 8, as well as the methodology employed, provide assurance that POs will be met throughout the compliance periods. Deterministic and stochastic closure analyses also demonstrate a minimal likelihood of exceeding POs. Potential peaks post compliance are also addressed where future work is proposed to improve the understanding in actual uncertainties.
