                                        ,NFORMATION USO 1.0       PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for the Operation of the ISCO Sample Compositors Model 2710 and Model 3710 and associated equipment.
2.5 Sample volume per composite is affected by pressure in the sample line, sample tubing length and pump tubing size. Ensure sample line pressure down stream of the pressure reducing valve remains less than 4 psig. Recalibrate delivering volume following replacement of sample tubing or pump tubing for the ISCO Model 2710 compositor.
2.0       PRECAUTIONS 2.1         In the unlikely event the Waste Water Retention Basins (WWRB) becomes contaminated, the composited samples should be handled as radioactive material in accordance with standard Health Physics practices.
The ISCO Model 3710 compositor is self calibrating and pump maintenance does not require re-calibration of the sample volume.2.6 Even if no primary to secondary leak is confirmed, the operation of the compositors is required.
2.2         Observe all safety precautions outlined in 30006-C, "Laboratory Safety Manual".
The sample should be discarded into the associated WWRB if there is no confirmed primary to secondary leak.3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The automatic sample compositors and associated piping are designed to collect composite samples from each of the Waste Water Retention Basins during basin pumping evolutions.
2.3         Do not attempt to retrieve a composite sample while the sampler is in the run mode.
Each sampler pumps uniform, small sample increments into its respective container at equal flow volume intervals using flow pulse inputs from an external flow meter. A sample recirculation flowpath is established in the compositor suction piping whenever the WWRB discharge piping is pressurized.
2.4         The sampler is pre-programmed to automatically purge and deliver the proper amount of sample to the sample container. Do not attempt to reprogram the compositor without notifying Laboratory Supervision.
This piping arrangement provides a representative sample when the pre-programmed compositing sequence is initiated.
2.5         Sample volume per composite is affected by pressure in the sample line, sample tubing length and pump tubing size. Ensure sample line pressure down stream of the pressure reducing valve remains less than 4 psig. Recalibrate delivering volume following replacement of sample tubing or pump tubing for the ISCO Model 2710 compositor. The ISCO Model 3710 compositor is self calibrating and pump maintenance does not require re-calibration of the sample volume.
Sample collection may also be manually initiated at any time. (Refer to Figure 1)V.1 ..
2.6         Even if no primary to secondary leak is confirmed, the operation of the compositors is required. The sample should be discarded into the associated WWRB if there is no confirmed primary to secondary leak.

,NFORMATION USO 1.0 PURPOSE This procedure provides instructions for the Operation of the ISCO Sample Compositors Model 2710 and Model 3710 and associated equipment.

2.0 PRECAUTIONS 2.1 In the unlikely event the Waste Water Retention Basins (WWRB) becomes contaminated, the composited samples should be handled as radioactive material in accordance with standard Health Physics practices.

2.2 Observe all safety precautions outlined in 30006-C, "Laboratory Safety Manual".

2.3 Do not attempt to retrieve a composite sample while the sampler is in the run mode.

2.4 The sampler is pre-programmed to automatically purge and deliver the proper amount of sample to the sample container. Do not attempt to reprogram the compositor without notifying Laboratory Supervision.

2.5 Sample volume per composite is affected by pressure in the sample line, sample tubing length and pump tubing size. Ensure sample line pressure down stream of the pressure reducing valve remains less than 4 psig. Recalibrate delivering volume following replacement of sample tubing or pump tubing for the ISCO Model 2710 compositor. The ISCO Model 3710 compositor is self calibrating and pump maintenance does not require re-calibration of the sample volume.

2.6 Even if no primary to secondary leak is confirmed, the operation of the compositors is required. The sample should be discarded into the associated WWRB if there is no confirmed primary to secondary leak.

3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The automatic sample compositors and associated piping are designed to collect composite samples from each of the Waste Water Retention Basins during basin pumping evolutions. Each sampler pumps uniform, small sample increments into its respective container at equal flow volume intervals using flow pulse inputs from an external flow meter. A sample recirculation flowpath is established in the compositor suction piping whenever the WWRB discharge piping is pressurized. This piping arrangement provides a representative sample when the pre-programmed compositing sequence is initiated.

Sample collection may also be manually initiated at any time. (Refer to Figure 1)

Discrepancies should be brought to the attention of lab supervision.

5.3 Valve alignment should be checked (Using Figure 1) when routine monitoring indicates no water is entering the compositor.

6.0 MAINTENANCE 6.1 Routine maintenance consists mainly of keeping sample tubing and containers clean and free of debris. Whenever composited samples are recovered a visual inspection of sampler components should be performed.

6.2 Section 3.0 of the Manufacturer's Instruction Manual provides detailed maintenance procedures for the compositors.

6.3 If the ISCO sampler fails and can not be repaired quickly, a spare ISCO Model 2710 sampler is stored in the Demineralizer Building and can be utilized until a repair can be completed.

6.4 Pressure regulator 1(2)-PCV-17808 should be set just below 4 psig when a WWRB pump is running. The regulator can be adjusted with the adjusting screw under the cap.
