Originating Office: Nuclear and Chemical Waste Program Finding Aids: Document center database Disposition AuthorityUnscheduled Series Description: This 1985 report pulls together ORNL's collective knowledge about the history and use of the seven waste burial pits and trenches used at ORNL from 1951 to 1966. For each of the seven sites, it contains an operational history of monitoring needs; waste forms transferred in site characterizations (i.e., components of waste like cesium and cobalt in disintegrations per minute per milliliter, becquerels per liter, or microcuries per milliliter (dpm/ml, Bq/l, uCi/ml)), regulatory and environmental concerns, and a list of references. Five appendices provide related data: a bibliography, excerpts from routine progress reports of the Operations Division concerning the pits and wastes, and drawings and photographs of the pits and trenches.
