[Report on] The Behavior of Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 in Seepage Pits at ORNL [Oak Ridge National Laboratory], January 17, 1967Location: Active:
Originating Office: ORNL Health Physics Division Finding Aids: Document center database Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This 1967 report documents the behavior of cesium-137 in seepage pits at ORNL. The report discusses fixation of the waste and the potential for migration and dispersion over time. It includes an operational history of the pits; geologic data on the surrounding area; borehole drilling strategies; and sample analysis results, in microcuries or curies per gram (uCi/g or Ci/g). Diagrams and maps show the locations of the trenches, ground layer formation (shale, clay, rock), and borehole data.
This report was published in Health Physics, Pergamon Press, Vol. 13 (1967): 897-905.
