1.1 This test method describes the nondestructive assay of plutonium in forms such as metal, oxide, scrap, residue, or waste using passive neutron multiplicity counting. This test method provides rapid results that are usually more accurate than conventional neutron coincidence counting. The method can be applied to a large variety of plutonium items in various geometries in cans, 208-L drums, or 1900-L Standard Waste Boxes. It has been used to assay items whose plutonium content ranges from 1 g to 1000's of g.1.2 There are several electronics or mathematical approaches available for multiplicity analysis, including the shift register, the Euratom Time Correlation Analyzer, and the List Mode Module, as described briefly in Ref. (1).1.3 This test method is primarily intended to address the assay of 240Pu-effective by moments-based multiplicity analysis using shift register electronics (1,2 ) and high efficiency neutron counters specifically designed for multiplicity analysis. This test method requires knowledge of the relative abundances of the plutonium isotopes to determine the total plutonium mass.1.4 This test method may also be applied to modified neutron coincidence counters which were not specifically designed as multiplicity counters, with a corresponding degradation of results.

The primary objectives of work at low-level radioactive waste sites are the protection of personnel, prevention of the spread of contamination, minimization of additional wastes, protection of sample data quality, and the unconditional release of equipment used. Preventing the contamination of equipment used at low-level radioactive waste sites and the decontamination of contaminated equipment are key aspects of achieving these goals. This practice provides guidance in the planning of work to prevent contamination and when necessary, for the decontamination of equipment that has become contaminated. The benefits include: 5.3.1 Minimizing the spread of contamination within a site and preventing the spread outside of the work area. 5.3.2 Reducing the potential exposure of workers during the work and the subsequent decontamination of equipment. 5.3.3 Minimizing the amounts of additional wastes generated during the work, including liquid, or mixed wastes, including separation of the waste types, such as protective clothing, cleaning equipment, cleaning solutions, and protective wraps and drapes. 5.3.4 Improving the quality of sample data and reliability. This practice may not be applicable to all low-level radioactive waste sites, such as sites containing low-level radioactive wastes mixed with chemical or reactive wastes. Field personnel, with assistance from trained radiological control professionals, should have the flexibility to modify the decontamination procedures with due consideration for the sampling objectives, or if past experience supports alternative procedures for contamination protection or decontamination. This practice does not address the monitoring, protection, or decontamination of personnel working with low-level radioactive wastes. This practice does not address regulatory requirements that may control or restrict work, the need for permits or regulatory approvals, or the accumulation or handling of generated wastes.1.1 This practice covers the decontamination of field equipment used in the sampling of soils, soil gas, sludges, surface water, and ground water at waste sites known or suspected of containing low level radioactive wastes.1.2 This practice is applicable at sites where low level radioactive wastes are known or suspected to exist.

This guide is written for all persons involved with HHWCs, but especially for those primarily responsible for establishing and providing training to workers at HHWCs. This guide is intended to provide recommended training topics which should be covered during the initial baseline and annual refresher training. The actual topics and depth of training for each worker must be assessed by the HHWC operator on a case-by-case basis with emphasis on the particular job assignment for each worker. The major factors the operator should consider are what are the anticipated hazards to which each worker may be exposed and what are the controls/work practices which the worker must know in order to do his or her job assignments safely. Another factor which the operator must consider is the areas in which each worker is expected to work or the areas to which each worker has access to as part of job assignments. For example, if an administrative assistant only has access to the office area, and never enters the active HHWC area, then training may be limited to required actions as part of the contingency plan. If, however, the administrative assistant is periodically required to enter into the active HHWC area, more detailed training is required based on anticipated hazards which the administrative assistant may be exposed to while in the HHWC area. When deciding on the training topics for the annual refresher training, the HHWC operator must decide on topics in Section 7 which are relevant to the HHWC workers attending the refresher training class. Factors which should be considered are: 4.3.1 Hazards to which the workers may be exposed to, 4.3.2 Changes in the standard operating procedures, contingency plan since the previous training, 4.3.3 Length of time from which a worker has received training in the topics listed in Section 7, and 4.3.4 Identification of incidents, hazards, unsafe conditions, or any other situations which indicate a need to retrain workers in a particular topic to ensure a safe and healthful workplace.1.1 This guide covers recommended health and safety training topics for workers at operations for the collection of household hazardous waste or conditionally exempt small quantity generator waste, or both, regardless of the type of collection. Although this guide is intended to protect the worker, public health, and the environment, it is not intended to satisfy all the health and safety training requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 or the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976.

This test method provides sufficient PCB data for many regulatory requirements. While the most common regulatory level is 50 ppm (dry weight corrected), lower limits are used in some locations. Since sensitivities will vary for different types of samples, one shall demonstrate a sufficient method detection limit for the matrix of interest. This test method differs from Test Method D 4059 in that it provides for more sample clean-up options, utilizes a capillary column for better pattern recognition and interference discrimination, and includes both a qualitative screening and a quantitative results option. 1.1 This test method covers a two-tiered analytical approach to PCB screening and quantitation of liquid and solid wastes, such as oils, sludges, aqueous solutions, and other waste matrices. 1.2 Tier I is designed to screen samples rapidly for the presence of PCBs. 1.3 Tier II is used to determine the concentration of PCBs, typically in the range of from 2 to 50 mg/kg. PCB concentrations greater than 50 mg/kg are determined through analysis of sample dilutions. 1.4 This is a pattern recognition approach, which does not take into account individual congeners that might occur, such as in reaction by-products. This test method describes the use of Aroclors 1016, 1221, 1232, 1242, 1248, 1254, 1260, 1262, and 1268, as reference standards, but others could also be included. Aroclors 1016 and 1242 have similar capillary gas chromatography (GC) patterns. Interferences or weathering are especially problematic with Aroclors 1016, 1232, and 1242 and may make distinction between the three difficult. 1.5 This test method provides sample clean up and instrumental conditions necessary for the determination of Aroclors. Gas chromatography (GC) using capillary column separation technique and electron capture detector (ECD) are described. Other detectors, such as atomic emission detector (AED) and mass spectrometry (MS), may be used if sufficient performance (for example, sensitivity) is demonstrated. Further details about the use of GC and ECD are provided in Practices E 355, E 697, and E 1510. 1.6 Quantitative results are reported on the dry weights of waste samples. 1.7 Quantification limits will vary depending on the type of waste stream being analyzed. 1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

Facilities utilizing bulk liquid hazardous waste fuels are concerned about material handling characteristics and the overall quality of the fuel. A high percentage of insoluble, suspended solid material can create pumping, filtering, or grinding difficulties in the off-loading of bulk shipments of OLHW and can contribute to excessive wear on processing equipment. High solids can also decrease the quality and consistency of commingled fuel by decreasing the effectiveness of agitation in storage tanks.1.1 This test method covers the determination of the approximate amount of insoluble, suspended solid material in organic liquid hazardous waste (OLHW). 1.2 This test method is intended to be used in approximating the amount of insoluble, suspended solids in determining the material handling characteristics and fuel quality of OLHW. It is not intended to replace more sophisticated procedures for the determination of total solids. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Test Method A can specifically be used to evaluate whether the durability and elemental release characteristics of waste glasses have been consistently controlled during production. This test method is applicable to radioactive and simulated waste glasses. 1.1.2 Test Method B is a crushed glass durability test that allows testing of water glasses at varying test durations, test temperatures, ratios of glass surface area ( ) to leachant volume ( ), and leachant types. This test method is static and can be conducted in stainless steel or PFA TFE-fluorocarbon vessels, or both. Test Method B can specifically be used to evaluate the relative durability characteristics of homogeneous or devitrified glasses, or both. This test method is applicable to radioactive and simulated waste glasses. Test Method B cannot be used as a consistency test for production of high level radioactive waste glass. 1.2 These test methods must be performed in accordance with all quality assurance requirements for acceptance of the data. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.1 This test method describes the nondestructive assay of scrap or waste for plutonium content using passive thermal-neutron coincidence counting. This test method provides rapid results and can be applied to a variety of carefully sorted materials in containers as large as 208-L drums. It has been used to assay items whose plutonium content ranges from 0.01 to 6000 g. 1.2 This test method requires knowledge of the relative abundances of the plutonium isotopes to determine the total plutonium mass. 1.3 This test method may not be applicable to the assay of scrap or waste containing other spontaneously fissioning nuclides. 1.4 This test method assumes the use of shift-register-based coincidence electronics (1). 1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

p>The information gained through the site investigation is used to characterize the physical, biological, and chemical systems existing at a site. The processes that determine contaminant releases, contaminant migration, and environmental receptor exposure to contaminants are described and integrated in a conceptual site model. Development of this model is critical for determining potential exposure routes (for example, ingestion and inhalation) and for suggesting possible effects of the contaminants on human health and the environment. Uncertainties associated with the conceptual site model need to be identified clearly so that efforts can be taken to reduce these uncertainties to acceptable levels. Early versions of the model, which are usually based on limited or incomplete information, will identify and emphasize the uncertainties that should be addressed. The conceptual site model is used to integrate all site information and to determine whether information including data are missing (data gaps) and whether additional information needs to be collected at the site. The model is used furthermore to facilitate the selection of remedial alternatives and to evaluate the effectiveness of remedial actions in reducing the exposure of environmental receptors to contaminants. This guide is not meant to replace regulatory requirements for conducting environmental site characterizations at contaminated (including radiologically contaminated) sites. It should supplement existing guidance and promote a uniform approach to developing conceptual site models. This guide is meant to be used by all those involved in developing conceptual site models. This should ideally include representatives from all phases of the investigative and remedial process, for example, preliminary assessment, remedial investigation, baseline human health and ecological risk assessments, and feasibility study. The conceptual site model should be used to enable experts from all disciplines to communicate effectively with one another, resolve issues concerning the site, and facilitate the decision-making process. The steps in the procedure for developing conceptual site models include elements sometimes referred to collectively as site characterization. Although not within the scope of this guide, the conceptual site model can be used during site remediation.1.1 This guide is intended to assist in the development of conceptual site models to be used for the following: (1) integration of technical information from various sources, (2) support the selection of sample locations for establishing background concentrations of substances, (3) identify data needs and guide data collection activities, and (4) evaluate the risk to human health and the environment posed by a contaminated site. This guide generally describes the major components of conceptual site models, provides an outline for developing models, and presents an example of the parts of a model. This guide does not provide a detailed description of a site-specific conceptual site model because conditions at contaminated sites can vary greatly from one site to another. 1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. 1.3 This guide is intended to apply to any contaminated site. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
