| Description/Abstract | Activated metals are generated during normal reactor operation on a routine basis including reactor components and internals composed of Inconel alloys, zircaloy, or stainless steels. Prior to 1984, these wastes could be disposed of by shallow burial methods. However, the wastes must now be classified as class A, B, or C wastes according to radionuclide concentrations. If the concentration exceeds the established limites, then it is termed a greater Than Class C (GTCC) waste and must be disposed of via underground disposal, geologic repository methods. In order to provide a scientific basis for the determination of the correct disposal option, PNL is conducting a series of laboratory analysis of activated metals. The plan is to measure radionuclide concentrations in samples of spent fuels, hardware, non-fuel components, and reactor internals. |
