Method Validation Summary for L16.2 AD-ISO-0015 for ISO-17025 / NFAC Applications

Methods for the analysis of semi-volatile organic compounds are employed at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) for routine and non-routine samples from tank waste, process control, waste acceptance, and a wide array of other process and research samples. A method has been developed by SRNL, based on existing methods for semi-volatile analysis, for the analysis of nitroaromatic high explosives by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry in soils and sediments. Relative to past work performed at SRNL on nitroaromatic explosives, this developed, optimized, and validated method can achieve lower limits of detection and quantitation, greater precision, lower bias, higher linearity, and accuracy across a greater linear range.

HPAC Validation against NRC Documentation

This report describes validation of the radiological source terms in the Nuclear Facility Accident (NFAC) module of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)’s Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (HPAC) software. The validation will be conducted by comparing the source terms defined in HPAC to published data from references approved by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Comparisons will be done for both pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and boiling water reactors (BWRs). This comparison includes the magnitude, isotopic composition, and timing of the release fractions over the course of a severe or moderate accident. Calculations for both facility-specific nuclear power plants and for more generic reactor categories are involved. It is shown that the NFAC radiological source terms in HPAC agree well with NRC standards for moderate and severe accidents at PWRs and BWRs.
