DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT On May 17 and 25, 1989, the iron concentration from the radioactive waste batch discharge (serial 003) exceeded the 1.0 ppm maximum concentration limit. The concentrations determined were 4.1 and 1.2 ppm, respectively. The volumes associated with these discharges were 5,414 and 26,682 gallons, respectively. The exceedances were discovered June 7, when metals analyses were completed on stored samples for the month. Prior to April, 1989, these samples were composited and analyzed in a different manner and no values ever exceeded 1.0 ppm for iron, thus values in excess of this limit were not anticipated from this serialized discharge.

The source of iron in this effluent stream is being investigated so in the future, discharges containing elevated iron levels can be identified and the water further processed by filtration and ion exchange prior to release.
