These sands which are uMd in the rare earth proce** contain natural radioactiv ity. The naturally occurring radioactive material* in these aands are thori\1111 (Th) and urant\JID (U) and their r&d1oact1ve decay pt"o-ducta, or daughter*, tnclwU.ng radium (Ila) and it* daughter, radon (ln),

2.2 Because of the preaence of beach sand, and waste 1and1 at rare earth processing faciliU.es , attention has recently been focused cm the environmental radiologic al impact of this lnduatry. In aeee1e1111 these typea of aitea varioue 1tandard1 and rule* have been used to formulate release criteria. These CTiterla are generally accepted .. aufftc1ent requirement* for the release of material* and the decontrol of areaa, and for the protection of 1llan and the envtronaen t from unnecesaary radi*

INSttWMENT CALIBRATtON I Eberline Portable Micro-R Meter, Model P'RM. . 7 De,1gn The PRM-7 is a self-contained gamma ray dtt~ct1on instrument, factory calibrated to a Cs-137 source. An internally mounted. l. inch x l inch Na I (TL) scintillation crystal offers optimum performance in counting low level backgro-und radiation fields. The uae of a Nal crystal in measuring exposure is limited due to the non-linearity of response between particle energy and light out.put. The photomultiplier.

tube output is proportional to dose rate in photon fields consisting of energies equivalent to that used in calibration.

Source Tenn A. Cs-137 Steel encapsulated point aource.

Photon energy* 0.662 Mev.

1. l\a-226

... Steel encapsulated point aource Photon energies:

0.295 MeV (ltl). 0.352 MeV (36%) resulting from Pb-214 decay, and 0 .609 MeV (47%). l. UO HeV (17%). L 764 MeV (17%) resulting from Bi ... 214 decay.

C.. IW!l

A NBS t-raceable, Cs-137 calibrated 25 ml Victoreen Conchmaer...:R cheber was u*ed to determine ek'PO&ure. No addiU.onal R-chamber wall thick.neau,ea were u$1d when detetmifting th* exposure to the C,s-137 aour¢.e. In order to establish secondary chtrged particle equilfbriU111 w1th respect to the 1. 764 MeV photon emitted frotn the Ra-226 decay chain, 2

a polystyrene c.ap of 0.61 p/cm was used. the total wall thickness wae equal to 0.830 .gm/cm2

  • Each source wae placed in a source holder on a large labor,atory work table. Distance& were indic.ated at points where the ex~"'surie rates, determined by the R-chamber, were aqual to 2.0 mR./h and 0 *.2 mR/h.

The PRM-7 was placed in the radiation field and the instnmtent re1aponse was determined on the 500 and 5000 range.

To conf1rm that the count rate waa equal to the pulse rate. the output of the PRM-7 was verified with the use of a pulse generator. The 25, 50~ 500 and 5000 ranges were checked and various ad,juatme.nts were made if necessary.

After calibration by electronics, the PRM-i was again placed in the Cs*l.31 and then the R.a-226 r*diation fields. rfle* tnstrwnent response was determined on both the ;oo and 5000 range. A background radiation determination waa done u11n1 the 25 ea condenser ...a. chamber with *11 radioactive sources remove(( from the work are*. Results can be foutad.

the button *ource is pl.aced oa the meter front with the radiation symbol in contact with the meter adjust acrew. The inatrument should i*ead 165 ul./h.

,.~~ond*t;:l S~af!.d&rd for Calibrat ton A 1econ.dary standard for calibration of the PRM-7 wae based on the reaponae o.f L:1F thermolumineacenc:e chips (TLD) to a natvral radiation environment in an unventilated conc.rete basement and in the ground floor of a one story concrete bui.lding. All chips were calibrated with a NBS traceable Co-60 aourc.e and individual calibration factors (mR/nC) were establiahed.

The annealed 11..D chips were sandwiched between two p.ieces of 1/4 inch thick luc.He and placed in the two test fields for a period of 69 days.

The chips were readout on a Hawshaw TLD reader and the expo1ure calculated.

The response of the PRM-1 was determined in both fields and the results compared to the exposure determined by the TU> chips. A 1uaury of reaulte can be found in Table 2

n in Couju11cticm with Staplex Ri1b Volume Air Sapler The alpha detection efficiency of the AC-3-8 detector when

.placed in d1.rect contact with the filter sample vas determined by obtaining a sample of naturally occurring Pb-212 aerosols on the filt,r, allowing all of the short lived an... 222 daughter, to decay, and then counting the filter sample under transient equilibrium conditions. Uniform radioactivity distribution over the surface of the filter was verified by taking counts with the AC*l-8 probe at different l9cation.s on the filter surface and by cutting out circular aa11ple1 of the filter (diameter of about 3. 5 cm) and counti.ng 2

each sample under the window (0.853 mg cm- ) of a gas flow proportional counting system. This system waa previously calibr.ated for the de-taction o.f Pb-212 in transient equilibrium with daughters. Standard Pb-212 *ample& were obtained by the generation of Pb-212 aerosols from a Th-228 emanation source and deposition of Pb-212 on the surface of

  • h111:lni&ed mylar 1heets of the same active area of ..,filters in the Gelman 47 mm filteT holder (diameter of 3 .5 cm). Alpha counts of these standards obtained for the internal counting _position (2'11' geo-Mtry) yielded the absolute activity of the etandard
  • c.11-1

Corrections of alpha particle efficiencies foT self absoTJTtion d1ae to the burial of Pb*?12 aerosols within the filter and within collected dust wa1 estimated by obtaining counts of samples in the alpha mode and beta mode using the end-window proportional counter.

The beta counting mode was established by covering sa:m.ple& 'With an 2

aluminum absorber of mass density thickness of 20.73 mg cm- and counting each sample at the beta operating voltage (1850 volts).

The ratio of the instantaneous beta counting rate to the instantaneous alpha counting rate at the same reference time gave a measure of the effective depth of burial of aerosols within the filter as well as the alpha counting efficiency. Sample 6/o. counting rate ratios were compared to those of standard absorber curves obtained by co~ering standard Pb-212 sources with sheets of 1/4 mil mylar. Naturally occurring Pb-212 aerosols were found to have an average depth of burial of about 0.85 mg cm'"" 2 in the glass fiber filter sample.

Counts of the high volume (HV) filter samples using the AC-3-8 alpha scintillation probe and counts of the circular filter samples on the end-window proportional counter were used to estimate the efficiency of the AC-3-8 probe when pl.aced in contact with the HV filter sample. Correction1, vere made for the different alpha particle energies of the Rn-222 short lived daughters compared to the Pb-212 daughters. Results yielded an average alpha particle efficiency of 2.90 x 10-2 C ~-1 for the short lived Rn*222 daughters and for the sampling and counting parameters u,ed in this study. It may be assumed J

that Rn-222 and its short lived daughters are in secular equilibrium c.11-2

1n the outdoor atao11phere. The theoreU.cal net alp- count reapeaee C* of the PRS-1/Ac-s...a alpha scintillation counting system for the RV filter eample 1t derived as follows. The short lived ln-222 daughter atoms th$t may produce an alpha count rea:ponse either dtreetly or imltr ec t1 y are:

a B f3 a 3.05 11 Po-218 + 26.8 111 Pb-214

  • 19.7 m Bi-214
  • 164 I.IS Po ... 214 +,

(1) (2) (3) where minor decay branching baa been omitted and where the predominant short lived Rn-222 daughter species, Po-218

  • Pb-214, and Bi-214 are numbered respectively aa 1. 2, and 3. Although only the 6.00 MeV and 7 .69 MeV alpha particles of Po-218 and Po-214 respectively pro-duce net alpha counts in the system, all a.toms in the sampled air may produce counts as a result of decay through Po-214. The 7.69 MeV alpha particle, because of the extretrtely short half-life of Po-214, uy be considered from a kinetics standpoint to arise di.rectly from decay of species 3 or Bi ..214. The decay series thus may be simplified:

A single filter sample is obtained and later counted with the PRS-l/AC-3-8 Alpha Scintillation Detector to estimate the concentration of Rn*222 or each short ltved daughter. No correction is made for the contribution of thoron (Rn-220) or actinon (Rn-219) daughters to the alpha count&; therefore, results will overestimate the amount of Rn-222.

LCM*LEVtL RADIOACTIVE WAST£ FROM MR[ METALS PROCESSING FACilITI£S Jeanette Eng, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Donald w. Hendrick,. ORP*las Veges fectHty., U.S. EPA Joyce te1dman, Radiation Branch. U.S. EPA ft.egion U

  • Paul A. Gitrd1na. Radiation Branch, U.S. EPA Region 11 Abstract In the past year, problems of dfspo,el of byproducts, tailings, and wast.es from rare metals and thorium producing fac1Hties have rtteived the attention of rad1o1og1ca1 agencies. Many of the raw ores used by these pro-cessing facn ities were ric:h in natural radioactivity end the residues of production were often not disposed of properly. Mill ta111ngs from the uranium wnining industry have only recently come under federal regulation.

It can be eKpected that similar attention wil 1 be focused on the env'ironmental impacts of the rare meta1s processing indu,try as illustrated by interest 1n the problems of Parkersbur1. WV, and Albany, OR. One other site in Akron, NV, does not appear to be an innediate problem, but its situ*tion is typical of the many yet unsurveyed inactive rare mtt11 f1c.1Ht1es in the country. The radiological problems P"'t:ltnted by and decontamination activ1t1es which may be required of these rare metal fad11ties are t1t1mined.

trtrod!Jctipn The feder1l 9overnme,nt has recognized that companfts which process thorium and uranium ores require regulatory controls 1n order to Jrotect Mn ind the environment from unnecessary f'adiation. The recent pessege in November, 1978 of the Uranium 11111 Tailings 1111 (H. R. 13650) demoftstrates t,he government*,:

recognition that the front ... end of th, uranium fuel cycle, Le ** tr.1nfng and m1111ng of uranium. had been neglected. The bill defines prot.edJres for a ......

medial 1ct1on program at 1nac.t1ve mill sites end regulations for *ctive mi11 sites.

Companie$ which provid.e titanium, phosphorus:, rare earths~ end rare metals for industrial and cheas1cal use are not norntally regarded as pJssessors of large quantities of radioactive materials. In fact there appiars to be a his-torical laxity in documenting the processing and waste ctfsposal activities of these industries. A recent [PA publication reviews the available litereture on technologically enhanced natural rtd1etion due to mineral e*traction in-dustries (81 i8). It is only recently that :phosphate industrial wastes have been Hsted as hazardous radioactive wastes in the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency* s proposed Hazardous Waste Guidelines a-nd ftegw1ations (Co 71).

As shown h, f1gur.e 1. the unusua1 9rovpin9 cf rare earth and rare metal Jrocessing industries stems from their common ore origin. The ores used in rare e1rth a;nd metals proctss1.ng are byproducts of .mining for titanlum ores,.

since the ores for the specific ,rocessin9 are seldom found in ec:onomica11y 4'11ntab1e rock. The principal domestic arees for raw materie1s ere Florida and Georgie, 11thov9h mining hes occurred in westerr. and other southeest.ern

$tates. Outside c;f the U.S .* major deposits are located in Australia. Canada, Brain. Sout'h Africa, Sri Lan.ta, l,ndia. and Mexico. Often ores with higher specific *ineral content were imported, ,vch as N1gedan zircon sand for hafnium processing and Australian z1Pton sand for zirconium processing.

The beach and fluvatile sand deposits from these areas are rich in mar*

ketable 11unite. rut11e, monazite, 1nd zircon. Monazite commonly incorpo-rates thorium a,nd uranium as we11 as rare earths due to similarity in g.eo ..

chemistry and electronic structure. Ilmenite and rutile ere ore materials for titanium proceuing . monazite is the principal ore for rare earth proces-sing. and zircon the principal ore for zircol'lfum and hafnium processing. Gen ..

er111y. these beach or pl acer sands are treated to produce heavy mi nera 1 con-centrat 1ons containing tht zircon, rutile, ilmenite, monazite, and other marketable minerals. The concentrates. may then be treated by vJrious combina ..

t1ons of gravity, e11ttrost1 tic or electromagnetic methods to separate the ind1v1dua1 mineral,. Nonarite being sl11htly magnetic can be separ1ted from r1rton by electromagnets. The purity of the zircon product (or conversely the degree of monaz1te contamination of the product) 1s obviously e function of the degree of separation effort. Initia1 treatment usu,a11y h provided at or near the mine site. As a rule of thumb, th.e sand deposits are usually but ftot always processed primarily for the titanium content in the form of rutile and ilmenite. The t1rc:on and monaz1te fractions are then byproducts whic::h are treated separately to extract zirconium and rare earths. respectively.

Thorium is then a further byproduct of the rare ,earth processing of the mouazite Portion. This has been the major source of thorium up to the present.

For zirconium meta1 production, tircon sand 1, usua11y processed to min-imize the monatite content since the phosphate content of the monai1te nas

  • de1eteriou s effect on the metallurgi cal process., This in turn should mean a lower thorium and uranium content in the metallic z1rcon1um wastes than in foundry wastes where the monatite content of the zircon sends should be of less importance to the process. However. Wagstaff tlas reported levels of radium.. 226 from the uran1ua, dec11 chain to be about 100 pCi/g in tncoming t1rcon sands tt both foundries and metallic zirconium prodYction fac1Ht1es (Wa 78). As Table 1 shows, the uranium 1r.d thorium content of monazite con-centrate, varies depending on where the ore is ~ined. The amount of monatite in the zircof' sand also depends on how we1l the separation fac:ility removed the monJzite before shipping to the use po1nt. At the use point (such as a zir-conium metal manufactur ing plant). the *nufactur er may find 1t necessary to furthe-r separate monazite from the sand. Low-level radioactive wastes may be generated at each separation point. The natur,e1 concentration of uranium and thorium decay series products in the sands are low but the industrial proces-sing to obtain the specific minerals contefitra tn radioactiv ity in the waste re$idues. The disposition of these waste residues is the subject of this

01 S~US§1!,f1 It appears from figure 2 that the *mount of zf rcon ore imported into the Ur.ited States hes been 1ncrees1ng steadily sinct 1930. The iMPOrts account for ~proxim etely iOl of the annual U.S. consumption of zircon concentr ates; the remainde r 11 attribute d to domestic productio n and stock piles. Austral i1 supplied about 60S of the imf)()rts before 1950, 1nd over 951 after 1150. 8raz11 contribu ted *bout 201 during the period 1930 to 1950. In total. the U.S. con-s,umed about 300 .ooo short tons of zircon before 1KO and 1.3 mil Hon short tons thereafte,..

The .potent1t1 radio1og1ca1 f)Nblem can be 10.ewise divided into two periods.

Prior to l 9&0, most of the Aus tre 1hn zircon was i mS,OV'ttd 1 $ 1 black sand mix-ture contatning zircon (40-751), ilmenite (l4 ... 43~), r-utne (7 ..111). *net anati te (2*81) ores (MY 36). No attempts were ade to sep*rate the ores until the sand t11ttt\lr* reached the proceasi-ng fec1Hty. In 1148. the Commonwulth Government declared tts ifttent to purchase and stockpile monatit~ ore. As a result, fu ..

tvre shipments of sand had mo,t of the mon1zite ore removed in Australia be-fof"t ,eapo:rt.

After 1950, the Aust ore had the monatite fraction separated to some extent, hence the sands conta in a minimum of 96.7l zircon. Assuming the Th02 content in the monazite fract ion remains 10%, then the ThOz content.in. the bene f1cht ed sands could be as high as 0.331 or about 300 pC1/g, the U308 content could reach 0.03% or aboutted100.prior pCi/g. Subsequent-ly, the rare metals processing fac111ties which opera to 1950 rnay those have 9reater red1o1ogfc1l problems with their chlor inate d residues than which use ore obtained after 1950.

We would expect that any user of tire.on sands wouldrutil receive some monaz1te in the zircon sands, since the separation of ilme nite, . Hence e, zircon, and plete monazite, as indic ated in figure 1, is oft.en incom w111 be prese some small nt in any fract ion of monazite, containing thorium and uranium etc ** from beach sands.

will vary with the sand origi n and the degree of ore bene fae111t1es which need only the zircon. ilmenite. or have rutil e fraction of the beach sands and insis t on high purity ores may not fraction as great a radiological problem as facil ities which need only the monaz1te or use sands with littl e ore separation.

Producers of reactor grade zirconium have rigid spec ifications for thori -

um and uranium content and generally require high .puritny iszirco n which implies low radio activ ity conte nt. To achieve this, the zirco metal eithe r purcha5ed producing plant 1s high purity mate rial or furth er processed at the rare act1 v1 ty remains 1n to achieve .purity. For meta 1 production, then. the rad1o tht wastes while very littl e goes with the metal produ ct. On the other hand, ttie purity of zircon sands consum\d at foundries is Manucriti not cal, hence these sands may have the highe st radioa..:tivity conte nt. facturers of refractory mater1 als. producers of m11 led or ground zircon.activ and ceramics manufacturers porated in-,
