Series Description: This two-volume report describes the activities and rationale involved in the corrective action study of the storage of the wastes from the K-1407-B and -C Ponds. The first volume discusses noncompliance and hazard concerns at the K-1419 Sludge Treatment Facility, K-1417 Drum Storage Yard, and K-25 Building Storage Area. It addresses problems of current drum storage methods due to rapid drum corrosion and free liquids, drum demographics, storage status and options for the short and long term, risk and uncertainty factors, management and documentation requirements, quality assurance issues, and general conclusions and recommendations. Volume 2 consists of appendices supporting the first volume, including background data and information, sludge analyses results, a risk analysis, an outside grout feasibility report, and information and sludge flow charts. Cesium results are recorded in disintegrations per minute per gram and picocuries per gram (dpm/g and pCi/g).
