### Summary 10-Nov 15 samples and 

### two blanks were received by WIPP Laboratory at the WIPP site 11/10/1 1 15 :55 of Rad. Con. with copies of Rad. Con . pape!WOI'k indicating one minute GAB assays on their instrument. Results 

### showed 

### no signifiC8nt alpha and low to high 

### beta activity. Samples 

## were in petri dishes. 

### The highest 

### beta activity sample 

### was counted 

## on the GAM001-1 (Canberra 

### GMX 100280-S ) 

### instrument for 1 hour. The gamma count was extended to 2 .5 hours wh ile 

### the others were oounted 

### sequential;' on the GAB003 canberra Series 5 XLB for ten minutes each to determine Gross Alpha/Beta . (16 :25-19 :30) The highest beta activity sample was then also counted on the GAB003. There was no significant alpha and beta levels were lower (see comparison chart) but relative ratios were - 60% . The samples were transferred back to RC for storage until the morning for transfer to CEMRC. 11-Nov Arriving at08:30, samples were all counted on LB4100 GFPC (09 :50 to 11:25) . Results matched Series 5 from the night before on gross beta :t 10% or less . The nine highest activity samples and one blank were transferred to prep lab for 

### dissolution. The remaining were counted 

## on Gamma four at a time for 1000 minutes 

## over the next 

### two days. Only four of the 

### gamma results 

### showed activity above MOA and only a traction of the actMty 

### seen as beta . Half of each of 

### the nine d issolVed samples and dissolved blank were analyzed 

### in ALP001 (canberra Alpha Analyst) . For Pu for 200 minutes then the Pu 

### was taken for sequential analysis in LSA for Pu-241, 1 hour each . For Am & U for 1 000 minutes each . The remaining half were placed Into 500 ml marinellis for analysis. 12-Nov The 500 ml marineliis from the dissolUtion were counted on gamma detectors for 1000 minutes each. 13-Nov Began recounting the three highest activity undissolved swipes and one quarter ofthe highest activity (concentrated to 100 ml) sample for 1000 

### minutes . Two ofthe rema ining ftlters were mixed 

### with cocktaM and oounted using the liquid scintillation 

### gross alpha/beta method . This was 

### done to get an 

### idea of

### the max energy of the beta emitter. The peak was compared to a 

### number of spectra for previously analyzed i sotopes and did 

### not match 

### up well with any ofthem . 14-Nov The waste from the Actinide and Sr analyses of samples C5814,C5816, and C5820 on 11-11-11 was processed to purify theY fraction . TheY was then counted using liquid Scintillation. A portion of samples C5814 and C5816 

## were processed through nickel resin and counted by liquid scintillati o n to determine any presen ce of Ni-63. Finally, a fraction of samples C 5814 , and C5820 were processed and isolated 

### on TEVA discs to d etermine any presence ofTc-99 . 

### One of the higher activity samples (C5811) was then diluted 50-fold (1 ml to 49mL ) and along with 

### some 1% NitriC Acid. Two 1 .5ml aliquo ts of 

### the dil uted sample and nitriC acid were given to LANL for ICPMS mass 

### spectrum scan 1 5-N ov 

### Continued gamma counting of WMAR samples . 16-Nov Received new swipes from drums at 10: 55 (SDG 2011-400). These were all low beta (88 dpm or less) with 

### no alpha. The one minute Rad . Con. Measurement was confirmed by 

## a ten minute count on GAB003 . The highest activity 

### beta was counted for 30 minutes on GAM00-1 with no identifiable peaks . Samples were transferred 

### to WIPP Labs at CEMRC . Completed gamma counting on 

### WMAR samples . 17-Nov 

### The 2011-400 samples was counted at CEMRC for 1000 minutes on a gamma detector.
