WVNS TP 051 SLUDCE WASH CEMENT - WASTE CORES: WINDOWS OF COMPOSITION Rev. 0 1.0 SCOPE 1.1 This work is reouired to demonstrate the stability of the " nominal" waste form recipe developed under Test Request VVNS TRQ 051, at approximately 20% TDS using Portland Type I cement.
Characteristics which will be tested are required by 10 CFR 61, Code of Federal 5
Regulations, Title 10, " Licensing Requirements for Land Disposal of Radioactive Waste," and the USNRC Branch Technical Position on Waste l
Form, revision 1, dated January,1991.
This work is part of VVNS TPL 70 12. " Test Plan for the Waste Form Qualification Program for Cement Solidification of Sludge Wash Liquid."
I 1.2 Work will be performed with actual decontaminated sludge wash vaste liquid.
i 1,3 Work will be performed usin5 Properly cured cores (nominally 3" diameter x 6" long)~ drilled from full-scale-drums processed in the Cement Solidification System (CSS).
1.4 Additional tests will be performed under WVNS TP 053 to establish a correlation between the full scale cores and lab scale cubes.
1.5 A curve of pre immersion compressive strength vs. cure time will-be verified for the cores.
1.6 The maximum practical compressive strength of the vaste form will be-verified at cure times of 28, 35, and 42. days.
i 1.7 Thermal cycling stability of the waste form will be tested in accordance with ASTM Standard B 553, section 3.1.
1.8 Resistance to leaching of radionuclides will be perforred in accordance with the Branch Technical Position,_ appendix A.11.F. and ANSI /ANS Standard 16.1.
l l.9 Af ter curing for a minimum of 28 days, as-indicated by the compressive strength vs. time testing in paragraph-1.6 above, lease three (3) cores will-be immersed for a period of 90 days.
i at Following immersion, the specimens shall be subjected to compressive i
strength testing. A mean 90-day post immersion compressive strength-not less chan 75 percent of the mean pre-immersion compressive strength (paragraph 1.6 above).is required.
If the mean post-immersion compressive strength is less-than 75 percent of the mean pre-immersion compressive strength, the immersion test shall-be considered a failure.
1.10 The leachability of metals and listed organics shall be evaluated in accordance with the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)

Each concentration is exprested as an "L" value for that. leaching interval. The "L"
value is-the logarithm of the inverse of the. effective diffusivity_

6.4 Measure 96 +/- mL of waste using a 100 mL graduated cylinder and record on Ferm W 2301, j
6.5 Using an Eppendorff pipet, transfer 0.3 +/- 0.006 mL of the 5%
Antifoam mixture from step 3.2 to the concentrate. Record on Form VV 2301, i
6.6 Tare a 10r' disposable plastic syringe,' and add to it approximately 9.5 +/- 0.5 g sodium silicate.
The exact amount transferred will be'found by reveighing the cup after the i
material is poured into the concentrates, Record the weight on Form WV-2301, I
6.7 Support the mixer on a lab stand so that the-mixer impeller is one quarter-to one eighth inch from the bottom of the 500 mL_ poly-bottle, Use a wide mouth clamp to support the 500 mL poly bottle t
without crushing the. side.
Set a timer for 8 minutes.
6.8 Begin the mixing at 1000 RPM and start the timer, Add the dry l
j cement / calcium nitrate blend to the waste within the first'30 seconds. After 45 seconds, slowly add the sodium silicate within an additional 45 seconds.
Continua to mix for a total mix. time of 8 minutes.
4 6.9 After the transfer of the sodium silicate, reveigh the cup. and calculate the amount added by. difference. Record on Form WV 2301.
6.10 Vhile. mixing, mark a cube mold using a permanent marker. listin5 =
the date, time, sample type,-and identification sequence-number.
Then weigh the cube mold and record the weight:on Form VV-2301.
1 6.11 After completion of the 8 minute mixing cycle.stop the mixer and-transfer the. contents to the plastic cube mold. Fill to the top, and transfer the remaining to a 20 mL scintillat.on vial: and seal. -After weighing the cube, tare the scale to.tero and reweigh the cube with_the cement in-it.
Record'the weight on Form WV 2301. -Determine the wet density of the material-by the formula below:

After completing this step, place the cube in a poly bag and seal the bag.
6.12 Clean the mir.er impeller immediately after pouring.
6.13 Visually check for gelation of the 20 mL scintillation vial:
check every 5 minutes and do not disturb between these time inte rvals. Record the time it takes the cement to gel. Celation is a subjective determination. However, gelled cement is indicated when.the 20 mL scintillation vial can be tiptad slowly to a 90 degree position, parallel to the' horizon. The cement should not deform or flow, and will retain a line of form perpendicular to the horizon..Bleedwate* may be present; do not interpret as a sign of incomplete gelation.

i l
6.17 Using the cement penetrometer, model CT 421,' perform.the j
penetration resistance test by removing the cube from the. bag and placing the penetrometer' plunger in the center of..the-exposed
