PROCESSING SUFFARY During this period there was no orocessing of fuel.

The periodic pumpdown of Waste Tank 80-1 condensate continued until July 14,1980 with an additional 56,456 gallons being treated and sent to Lagoon 1. The total volume of condensate which was treated and sent to Lagoon 1 during the pumpout amounted to 78,795 galloris.

An additional 40,950 gallons of the 80-1 condensate were transferred directly to Waste Tank 80-2.

l NUCLEAR FUEL

SUMMARY

The following .information is based upon nucleue material accountability records and indicates the disposition of nuclear material in fuel at the reprocessing plant.

A. INVENTORY .

The total on-site inventory on September 30, 1980 was 166,759 kilograms of uranium and 1,037,634 grams of plutonium. An inventory description by source and material type is presented in Table 5.

B. RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS During the quarter, there were no shipments or receipts of spent fuel assemblies at the West Valley site.

C. MEASURED WASTE AND ADJUSTMENTS There was no loss of uranium or plutonium during the reporting period as measured waste.

No adjustments for uranium and plutonium to NFS Lot 27A were

(

l required. .

l l

l D. . LOSS ON DECAY l

l During the period 3/31/80 - 9/30/80 there was a reduction of l

- 1, ,7 grams of plutonium in stored fuel due to the radioactive decay

~

of the Pu-241 isotope. -

RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE ,

A. Solid Waste The radioactive plant waste buried during this quarter consisted of 1488.79 cu. ft. containing 161.176 curies. .This material was

. buried in the NRC-licensed burial area.

B. High Level Licuid Waste ,

As of September 30, 1980, the high level storage tank 80-2 contained 571,100 gallons of neutralized waste. with an actidty of 4,296 uCi Cs-137/ml and 65 pCi Cs-134/ml.
