t INTRODUCTION LaSalle Station, a two-unit BWR plant is located near Marseilles, Illinois, in Lasalle County, next to the Illinois River. Each reactor is designed to have a capacity of 1078 MW net. Unit No. 1 loaded fuel in March 1982. Unit No. 2 loaded fuel in late December 1983. The plant has been designed to keep releases to the env.ironment at levels below those specified in the regulations.

Liquid effluents from LaSalle County Station are released to the Illinois River in controlled batches after radioassay of each batch. Gaseous effluents

  • are released to the atmosphere after delay to permit decay of short half-life gases. Releases to the atmosphere are calculated on the basis of analyses of daily grab samples of noble gases and continuously collected composite samples of iodine and particulate matter. The results of eff?uent analyses are summarized on a monthly basis and reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as required per Technical Specifications. Airborne concentrations of noble gases, I-131 and particulate radioactivity in off-site areas are calculated using effluent and meteorological data on isotopic composition of effluents.

Environmental monitoring is conducted by sampling at indicator and reference

-(background) locations in the vicinity of the LaSalle County Station to measure changes in radiation or radioactivity levels that may be attributable to plant operations. If significant changes attributable to LaSalle County Station are measured, these changes are correlated with effluent releases.

External gamma radiation exposure from noble gases and I-131 in milk are the most critical pathways at this site; however, an environmental monitoring program is conducted which includes other pathways of less importance.

1

SUMMARY

Gaseous and liquid effluents for 'the period remained at a fraction of the Technical Specification limits. Calculations of environmental concentrations based on effluent, Illinois River flow, and meteorological data for the period indicate that consumption by the public of radionuclides attributable to the plant are unlikely.to exceed the regulatory limits. Gamma radiation exposure from noble gases released to the atmosphere represented the critical pathway for the period with a maximum individual dose estimated to be 1.29E-05 mrem for the year, when a shielding and occupancy f actor of 0.7 is assumed.

Environmental monitoring results confirm that dose via other pathways was not significant.

1.0' EFFLUENTS 1.1 Gaseous Effluents to the Atmosphere

^

Measured concentrations and isotopic composition of noble gases, radiciodine, and particulate radioactivity released to the atmos-phere.during the year, are listed in Table 1.1-1. A total of 1.98 curies of fission and activation gases was released with a maximum release rate of 5.0E+03 pCi/sec.

A total of 2.44E-04 curies of I-131 was released during the year, with an average release rate of 2.07E-04 pCi/sec for all iodines.

A total of 17.80 curies of beta-gamma emitters and less than 1.0E-08 curies of alpha emitters was released as airborne particulate matter, with an average release rate of 5.64E-04 pCi/sec.

A total of 5.25E-05 curies of tritium was released, with an average release rate of 3.30E-06 pCi/sec.

'1.2 Liquids Released to the Illinois River A total of 1.26E+06 liters of radioactive liquid waste (prior to dilution) containing 10.54 curies (excluding tritium, gases, and alpha) were discharged after dilution with a total of 2.56E+10 liters of water. These wastes were released at a monthly average

. concentration of 3.5E-07 pCi/ml, discharged on an unidentified nuclide basis, which is 87.5% of the Technical' Specification release limits for unidentified radioactivity. A total of <7.8E-06 curies of alpha radioactivity and <2.08 curies of tritium were released.

Monthly release estimates and principal radionuclides in liquid effluents are given in Table 1.2-1.

2.0 SOLID RADI0 ACTIVE WASTE

. Solid radioactive wastes were . shipped to Richland, Washington; i Beatty, Nevada; and Barnwell Nuclear Center, South Carolina. The p record of waste shipments is summarized in Table 2.0-1.

I 3.0 DOSE'TO MAN-3.1 Gaseous Effluent Pathways Gamma Dose Rates

' Gamma air and whole body dose rates off-site were calculated based on measured release rates, isotopic composition of the noble gases, and meterological data for the period (Table 3.1-1). Isodose contours of whole body dose. are shown in Figure 3.1-1 for the year.

Based on measured effluents 'and ' meteorological data, the maximum dose to an individual would be 1.29E-05 mrem for the year, with an occupancy or shielding factor of 0.7 included.

~

The maximum gamma air dose was 4.26E-05 mrad.

3

b Beta Air and Skin Rates-The range of beta particles in air is relatively small (on the order

- of.a few meters or less); consequently, plumes of gaseous effluents may be considered " infinite" for. purpose of calculating the dose from beta radiation incident on the skin. However, the actual dose

.to sensitive skin tissues is difficult to calculate because this depends on the beta particle energies, thickness of inert skin, and

._c ol thing covering sensitive - tissues. For purposes of this report the skin is taken to have a-thickness of 7 mg/cm2 and an occupancy factor of 1.0 is used. -The skin dose from beta and gamma radiation for the year was 1.66E-05 mrem.

The . air concentrations of radioactive noble gases at' the off-site receptor locations are given in Figure 3.1-2. The-maximum off-site beta air dose for the year was 5.16E-06 mrad.

Radioactive Iodine The human thyroid exhibits a significant . capacity to concentrate ingested or inhaled iodine, and .the radioiodine, I-131, released during routine operation of the plant, may be made available to man

thus' resulting in ia dose to the thyroid. The principal pathway of interest for this radionuclide is ingestion of radioiodine in milk by L an infant. Calculation- made . in previous years indicate that-contributions to doses from inhalation of I-131 and I-133, and'I-133 in milk, are negligible. q Iodine-131 Concentrations in Air The calculated concentration contours for I-131 in air are shown in Figure 3.1-3. Included in these calculations is an iodine cloud-
depletion factor which accounts for the phe_nomenon of elemental c

iodine deposition on the ground. The maximum off-site average concentration is ' estimated to be 3.83E-06 ' pC1/m3 for the year.

Do'se to-Infant's Thyroid The hypothetical thyroid dose to an infant living near the plant via ingestion Tof : milk was calculated. The radionuclide_ considered was

'I-131~ and the source of milk was taken to be the nearest dairy farm with :the cows pastured; from May to October. The maximum infant's Lthyroid - dose was '4.56E-06 mrem during the year. (Table 3.1.1).

Concentrations of'Particulates in Air Concentration contoursJof radioactive. airborne particulates are

- _ shown in Figure 3.1~-4. The maximum off-site average level is estimated to be 4 53E-05 pCi/m3, Summary of Doses

. Table' 3.1-1-summarizes the doses resulting from releases of airborne -

radioactivity via the different exposure pathways.

, -4'

3.2 Liquid Effluent Pathways The three principal pathways through the aquatic environment for potential doses to man from liquid waste are ingestion of potable water, eating aquatic foods, and exposure while walking on the shoreline. Not all of these pathways are applicable at a given time or station but a reasonable approximation of the dose can be made by adjusting the dose formula for season of the year or type and degree of use of the aquatic environment. NRC* developed equations were used to calculate the doses to the whole body, lower GI tract, thyroid, bone and skin; specific parameters for use in the equations are given in the Commonwealth Edison Off-site Dose Calcu-lation Manual. The maximum whole body dose for the year was 2.43E-03 mrem and no organ dose exceeded 9.44E-03 mrem.

4.0 SITE METEOROLOGY A summary of the site meteorological measurements taken during each quarter of the year is given in Appendix II. The data are pres-ented as cumulative joint frequency distributions of 375' level wind direction and wind speed class by atmospheric stability class determined from the temperature difference between the 375' and 33' levels. Data recovery for these measurements was about 98.4%.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING Table 5.0-1 provides an outline of the radiological environmental monitoring program as required in the Technical Specifications.

Except for tables of special interest, tables listing all data are no longer included in the annual report. All data tables are available for inspection at the Station or in the Corporate offices.

Specific findings for various environmental media are discussed below.

5.1 Gamma Radiation -

External radiation dose from on-site sources and noble gases re-leased to the atmosphere was measured at ten indicator and four reference (background) locations using solid lithium fluoride thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLD). A comparison of the TLD results for reference stations with on-site and off-site indicator stations is included in Table 5.1-1. Additional TLDs, a total of 48 were installed on June 1, 1980 such that each sector was covered at both five miles and the site boundary.

5.2 Airborne I-131 and Particulate Radioactivity Concentrations of airborne I-131 and particulate radioactivity at monitoring locations are summarized in Tables 5.0-2 through 5.0-5.

Locations of the samplers are shown in Figure 5.0-1. Airborne I-131 remained below the LLD of 0.1 pC1/m3 throughout the year.

Gross beta concentrations ranged from 0.010 to 0.053 pCi/m3 at indicator locations and 0.010 to 0.075 pCi/m3 at control locations with an average concentration of 0.021 and 0.022 pCi/m3 for the year at indicator and control locations, repectively. No radio-activity attributable to station operation was detected in any sample.

5.3 Terrestrial Radioactivity Precipitation samples were collected monthly from four milk sampling locations and analyzed for gross beta, tritium, strontium-89 and

-90, and gamma-emitting isotopes. Except for gross beta, all other radioactivity was below the limits of detection indicating that there was no measurable amount of radioactivity attributable to the station releases.

Annual mean gross beta concentration measured 23.6 pCi/1, which is

- the level expected in precipitation samples.

Vegetables were collected in July and August and analyzed for gross beta, strontium-89 and -90 , and gamma-emitting isotopes. In addition, green leafy vegetables were analyzed for iodine-131.

Gross beta concentration ranged from 1.5 to 5.0 pCi/g wet weight and averaged 2.5 pCi/g wet weight. The range and mean values were those expected in the vegetation samples. All other isotopes were below the limits of detection- indicating that there was no measurable amount of radioactivity attributable to the station releases.

i Cattlefeed and grass samples were collected quarterly from milk sampling locations and analyzed for gross beta, strontium-89 and -90 and gamma-emitting isotopes. Except for gross beta, the level of radioactivity was below the detection limits. Gross beta concen-trations were at the level usually encountered in these samples.

Well water from on-site well (L-27) was collected monthly and analyzed for gross beta activity. The annual mean gross beta concentration was 20.6 pCi/1. Monthly samples were also composited quarterly and analyzed for strontium-89 and -90, tritium, and gamma scanned. All results were below the lower limits of detection.

Well water was also collected quarterly from five off-site wells and analyzed for the same parameters as in well water from on-site. The results were similar to those obtained for the on-site well, in-dicating that there was no measurable amount of radioactivity due to the station releases.

6 L-

5.4 Aquatic Radioactivity Surface water samples were collected weekly from eight locations and analyzed for gross beta content. Weekly samples from the Illinois River near the intake and discharge pipes were composited monthly and ianalyzed for gamma emitters, tritium, and strontium-89 and -90.

Samples from other locations were composited monthly for gamma isotopic analysis and quarterly for tritium, Sr-89 and Sr-90.

None of the composite samples indicated the presence of other than naturally occurring gamma emitters at a sensitivity of 10 pCi/1.

None of the samples contained Sr-89 or Sr-90 above respective detection sensitivities of 10 pCi/l and 2 pCi/1. Tritium concen-trations were below the LLD level of 200 pCi/l in all samples.

Gross beta concentrations were similar to those obtained during the preoperational program indicating that there was no measurable amount of radioactivity due to station operation present.

Sediment samples were collected three times, from one indicator and two control locations, and analyzed for gross beta and gamma-emitters. Gamma emitters were below the detection limits. Mean gross beta activity in indicator samples measured 29.0 pCi/g and 27.3 pC1/g at control locations indicating the presence of no radioactivity due to station operation.

Collection sites, frequency, and analysis of aquatic vegetation were identical to those of sediments. As expected, the gross beta concentration was lower for aquatic vegetation than for sediments.

All gamma emitters were below the detection levels.

Levels of. gamma radioactivity.in fish were measured and found in all cases to be below the lower limits of detection for the program.

~

Gross beta concentration averaged 3.2 pCi/g wet weight and was at the level expected in fish.

5.5 Milk l Milk samples were collected monthly from November through April and l

weekly from May through October and analyzed for iodine-131, radio-strontium, and gamma emitters. Radioiodine was below the limits of detection, 0.5 pCi/1 during the grazing period (May to October) and i 5.0 ~ pCi/l during the first part of the non-grazing period (January to April). Sr-90 concentrations were variable within the usual 4

range for milk and Sr-89 and gamma emitters were below the limits of detection. ,

- 5.6 Special Collection No special collections were made during the period.

5.7. Program Modifications Following' modifications were made to the program during 1983: ,

.a. In November .1983, the LLD for I-131 in milk for non-grazing i season was changed from 5.0 pCi/1 to 0.5 pCi/1.

b. The frequency of collection of charcoal was changed.from every  :

two weeks to once a week beginning October 29, 1983.

SECTION 1.0 SAMPLE PREPARATION Different classes of samples require different preparations. In general, food products are prepared as for home use, while others are dried and ashed as received.

82

1.1~ Fish

1. Wash the fish.
2. Fillet and place the flesh immediately (to prevent moisture loss) in a 500 cc plastic container. Add a few cc of formaldehyde. Seal and record wet weight.

NOTE: If bones are to be anclyzed, boil remaining fish in water for about I hour. Clean the bones. Air dry, weigh and record as wet weight. Dry at 125' C. Record dry weight. Ash at 800*

C, cool, weigh, and record the ash weight. Grind to a homogeneous sample. The sample is ready for analysis.

3. Gamma scan fillet without delay or store in a freezer.
4. After gama spectroscopic analysis is completed transfer the sample to a drying pan and dry at 125' C.
5. ' Cool, weigh, and record dry weight.
6. Ash by gradually increasing the temperature to 450* C. If cons'ider-able . amounts of carbon remain after overnight ashing, the sample should be brushed and placed back in the muffle furnace until ashing is completed. Record ash weight. The sample is now ready for analysis.

NOTE: If there is sufficient quantity, use surplus flesh for drying and ashing, instead of' waiting for gamma scanning to be completed.

83 g

1.2- Bottom Sediments and Soil

1. Air dry the entire sample. Grind or pulverize the sample and ,

sieve through a #20 mesh screen. I

2. For gamma-spectroscopic analysis, seal 500 cc of the ground sample in a Marinelli beaker. Record dry weight.
3. Seal the remaining sample (up to 1 kg) in a plastic container and save for other, analyses or for possible future rechecking, s

1.3 Orinking (clear) water (EPA Method 900.0)

A representative sample must be collected from a free-flowing source of drinking water, and should be large enough so that adequate aliquots can be taken to obtain the required sensitivity.

It is recommended that samples be preserved at the time of collec-tion by adding enough IN HNO3 to the sample to bring it to pH 2 ,

(15 ml IN HNO3 per liter of sample is usually sufficient) If samples a7e to be collected without preservation, they should be brought to the laboratory within 5 days, then preserved and held in the original container for a minimum of 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> before analysis or transfer of the sample.

The container choice should be plastic over glass to prevent loss due to breakage during transportation and handling.

If the sample was not acidified at the time of collection, use the following procedure:

Procedure

1. Remove 100 ml of sample for tritium analysis, if required.

NOTE: Water should not be acidified for tritium analysis. If samples are acidified in the field, an additional aliquot should be collected.

2. Add 15 ml of IN HNO3 per liter of sample in the original container.
3. Hold the sample in the original container for a minimum of 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> before analysis or transfer of the sample.
4. When taking an aliquot for analysis, take acid addition into account. For example:

Sample volume Volume of aliquot to be analyzed required 200 ml 203 ml 400 ml 406 ml

'600 ml 609 ml 800 ml 812 ml 1000 ml 1015 ml 2000 ml 2030 ml 3000 ml 3045 ml 3500 ml 3552 ml For other volumes, adjust aliquots correspondingly, at the rate of 1.5 ml'per 100 ml of sample.

2.2.2 Gross Alpha and/or Gross Beta Activity in Dissolved Solids (see note)

Principle of Method Water samples containing suspended matter are filtered through a membrane filter and the filtrate is analyzed. The filtered water sample is evapor-ated 'and the residue is transferred to a tared planchet for counting gross alpha and/or gross beta activity.

Reagents Lucite: 0.5 mg/ml in acetone Nitric acid,.HNO 3: 3N Nitric acid, HNO3 : concentrated Apparatus Filters; Millipore, membrane Type AA, 0.8 p Filtration equipment Planchets (Standard 2" x 1/8" Beckman planchet)

Proportional counter Procedure

1. Filter a volume of sample containing not more than 100 mg of dissolved solids for alpha assay, or not more than 200 mg of dissolved solids for beta assay.

Note: For gross alpha and gross beta assay in the same sample limit amount of solids to 100 mg.

2. .Wash the non-filterable solids on the filter. (Save the filters with suspended matter for separate analyses. See Section 2.2.1).
3. -Evaporate the filtrate to NEAR dryness on a hot plate. Add 25 ml concentrated HNO3 and evaporate to NEAR dryness.

Note: For analysis of total residue (for clear water) proceed as described above but do not fiter the water. Measure out the appropriate amount and proceed with step 3.

3.9 Iodine-131 Milk by Ion Exchange on Anion ~xchange Column After samples have been treated to convert all iodine. in the sample to a common oxidation state, the iodine is isolated by solvent extraction or a combination of ion exchange and solvent extraction steps.

Iodine, as the iodide, is concentrated by adsorption on an anion ex-changed column. Following a Nacl wash, the iodine is eluted with sodium hypochlorite. Iodine in the iodate form is reduced to 12 and the elemental iodine extracted into CCl4 , back-extracted into water then finally precipitated as palladium iodide, l

Chemical re' c overy of the added carrier is determined gravimetrically from the PdI2 precipitate. I-131 is determined by beta counting the PdI2-l Reagents i Anion exchange resin, Dowex 1-X8 (50-100 mesh) chloride form.

' 8.1 Strontium-89 and Strontium-90 in Milk by Ion Exchanae i ,

-Principle'of Method  ;

A citrate complex of yttrium, strontium, and barium carriers at the nH.

of milk-is added to the milk sample. The mixture is then passed s u s-sively through cation- and anion-exchange resin columns. - Strontium,

-barium, and -calcium ' are absorbed - on the . cation-exchange resin, and the b . yttrium carrier with the yttrium 90 daughter.of strontium 90 is retained on the anion-exchange resin. ,

The yttrium .is eluted from the anion resin with hydrochloric acid and 4 precipitated as. the oxalate. Lanthanum 140, which may be a contaminant, e is removed by dissolving yttrium oxalate in concentrated nitric acid and

- extracting yttrium from the solution into an equal volume of pre-equili-bated tributyl phosphate. The _ lanthanum 140 remains in the concentrated nitric acid to be discarded. Yttrium is re-extracted from the organic phase with Rdilute nitric acid and precipitated as the oxalate. The precipitate 'is weighed to determine recovery of : yttrium carrier, then

~

counted for yttrium 90 activity.

. Strontium, barium. and calcium are eluted from the' cation-exchange resin with sodium chloride : solution. Following dilution of the eluate, the 7 -

alkaline earths are precipitated. as carbonates. The carbonates are then converted to nitrates,J and strontium and: barium nitrate _are- precipi-tated. .The-nitrate precipitate is dissolved, and barium is precipitated r as the chromate, purified as the chloride', and then counted to determine the' barium 140. From the supernate, strontium is precipitated as the-nitrate, dissolved in water, and reprecipitated~ as strontium nitrate.

The nitrate-is converted ~ to. the carbonate, which is filtered, weighed to determine strontium carrier recovery, and counted . for " total _ radio-i' strontium". ,

The concentration' of strontium-89 is - calculated as the difference-p' between the activity' for " total radiostrontium" and the activity due to r

t Section 8.4 8.4 Strontium 89 and Strontium 90 in Water Samples A. Principle of Method The acidified sample of clear water with stable strontium, barium and calcium carriers is treated with oxalic acid at a pH of 3.0 to precipitate insoluble oxalates. The oxalates are dissolved in nitric acid and strontium nitrate is separated from calcium as a precipitate in ~ 70% nitric acid. The residue is purified by adding iron and ; rare earth carriers and precipitating them as hydroxides.

After a s'econd strontium nitrate precipitation from 70% nitric acid, the nitrates are dissolved in water and with added yttrium carrier, are stored- for ingrowth of yttrium-90.

Soil and Bottom Sediment Samples - Sodium Carbonate Fusion.

n Principle of~ Method Strontium is separated from. calcium, other' fission products,and other natural radioactive elements. Fuming nitric acid separations' remove the calcium and most.of the other interfering ions. . Radium, lead, and barium are removed . with . barium chromate. Traces of other fission products are scavenged with-yttrium hydroxide. After the Sr-90 and - Y-90 equilibrium has been attained, the Y-90 is precipitated as the hydroxide and -con-verted to the oxalatesfor counting. Strontium is precipitated as the carbonate -and counted -for; total activity. Strontium-89 activity is

. computed as -the difference between the total radiostrontium and the strontium-90 (as yttrium-90) activity.

F1 Section 8.6 A Part A. Sample Preparation - Sodium Carbonate Fusion Procedure

1. Weigh out-3 g of ashed sample or silted soil and s'et aside.
2. Sift into a 250 ml nickel crucible enough Na2CO3 to very lightly cover the bottom.
3. Add 30 g of Na0H pellets and 5 g of KN03 -
4. Add the weighed ash sample and tap the crucible gently to shake the ash down among the pellets.
5. Sift from 10 to 20 grams of Na2CO3 over the ash so it is completely covered.
6. Place in a muffle furnace at 600*C for 20 to 30 minutes to melt and fuse the mixture.

NOTE: If carbon materials remain floating on the surface of the melt, cautiously add a few grains of KNO3 and heat for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Decomposition of organic matter is complete when no further reaction is noticed on addition of KNO3-

-7. Using a long-handled tongs, remove the crucible from the muffle furnace and immediately, but very cautiously, cool in an ice bath until the melt is" completely solidifieo and cool enough to handle without gloves.

NOTE: It is very important that-no moisture come in contact with the melt at this time. One drop of water in the crucible could render the melt very difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

8. Transfer the melt to a 250 m1 centrifuge bottle using distilled water and stir until completely dispersed.

NOTE: Rotating the crucible in the palm of one's hand and very gently applying pressure should be sufficient to loosen the melt from the sides of the crucible.

9. Add 2 ml of strontium and 1 ml of barium carriers.
10. Bring to a gentle boil, cool, centrifuge and discard the supernatant.

11. To the residue add 50 ml 3N Na2CO3 as a wash, swirl and disperse the residue, heat for 10 mTnutes in a hot water bath, centrifuge and discard the supernatant.
12. Repea1! step (11) three cimes to put the precipitate in a suitable form for further analysis.
13. Dissolve the precipitate in 50 ml of concentrated HNO3 , transfer to a 250 ml beaker, and take to dryness on a hot plate.

NOTE: Evaporation may be done rapidly at first, and then very slowly to prevent spattering.

A jelly-like substance may form at this point, due to hydrated silicic acid formed from the soluble silicates and will be removed in the following steps.

14. Bake the remaining residue for at least 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> at 120* to 130* C, cool, moisten the salts with 5 ml of HNO3 and allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Then place on a hot plate, bring to a boil and add 45 ml of boiling water. DISPERSE ANY REMAINING RESIDUE WITH A GLASS STIRRING R00 AND FILTER IMMEDIATELY into a 250 mi beaker. Use Whatman No. 541 hardened filter paper.

NOTE: To separate the silicic acid the hydrated acid must be changed to a less hydrated and less soluble acid by baking at 100* to 130*C.

It is important at this point that- evaporation be to com-plete dryness. (There should no longer be a smell of acid). ,

Addition of 5 ml of HNO3 converts any metal oxides which may have.been formed back to nitrates so they will be dissolved and not removed with the silicates.

'I Filtering must be done immediately as some of the silicates will tend to go back into solution.- Also, due to this fact, removal of silicates by dehydration is not 100% efficient and the process must be repeated at least once and more often if necessary.

15. Evaporate and repeat step (14) at least once, and again as often as necessary.

S ction 8.6 A.(continued)

Part A. Sample Preparation - Sodium Carbonate Fusion Procedure (continued)

16. Evaporate the solution in a beaker to dryness on a hot plate.

Cool, then add 40 ml of concentrated HNO3 and evaporate to 20-25 ml. Then add another 40 ml HNO3 and repeat the procedure.

NOTE: The liquid portion of the sample at this point will be yellow. Should the color toward the end of the first evaporation be red-brown, or black, add more nitric acid and repeat the above procedure as often as necessary to obtain a clear yellow solution.

The dark samples described above have been known to explode if evaporated to dryness without adding additional portions of nitric acid. These samples should be handled in a hood with the window down as far as possible to prevent possible personal injury to the operator.

This step is to destroy any remaining organic materials.

The darker colored solutions contain large amounts of organic matter.

17. Complete the analyses as described under Determination.

I. Strontium - 89 Procedure

1. Transfer the solution to a 40 ml conical, heavy-duty centrifuge tube using a minimum of conc. HNO 3 . Cool the centrifuge tube in an ice bath for about 10 minutes. . Centrifuge and discard the supernatant.

NOTE: The precipitate consists of calcium, strontium and barium-radium nitrates. The supernatant contains part of the sample's calcium and phosphate content.

2. Add 30 ml of conc. HNO3 to the precipitate. Heat in a hot water bath with stirring for about 10 minutes. Cool the solution in an ice bath with stirring for about 5 minutes. Centrifuge and discard the supernatant.

. NOTE: Additional calcium is removed from the sample. Nitrate precipitations with 70% HNO3 will afford a partial decontamination from soluble calcium while strcntium, barium, and radium are completely precipitated.

The separation of calcium is best at 60% HNO ,3however at 60% the precipitation of strontium is not complete.

Therefore, it is common practice to precipitate Sr(NO3)2 with 70% HNO3 which is the concentration of commercially available 16 _N HNO3 -

Most of the'other fission products, induced activities and actinides are soluble in concentrated HNO3 affording a good " gross" decontamination step from a wide spectrum of radionuclides. The precipitation is usually ' repeated ~

several times.

3. Repeat step (2) two more times.
