Hlstorlct~l Summary 

10-Nov 15 samples and two blanks were received by WIPP Laboratory at the WIPP site 11/10/11 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 while 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 dissolVed 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 of the highest activity 

(concentrated to 100 ml) sample for 1000 minutes. 

Two of the remaining 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 isotopes and did not match up well with any of them. 

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 scintillation to determine any presence of 

Ni-63. Finally, a fraction of samples C5814, and C5820 were processed and isolated on TEVA discs to 

determine 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 aliquots of the diluted sample and nitriC acid were given to LANL for ICPMS mass spectrum scan 

15-Nov 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.

Sample Results Summary 

Summary of sample analysis results are included in this section. 

Alpha spectrometer detector efliciencies are calculated using monthly primes and are not reflected on instOOlellt

Insufficient sample was provided to analyze a Matrix Spjke or Repllcate. 

The sample counting time is shorter than the normal1 000 minute counts for Pu, U, and Am. The count was 

stopped earty in order to expedite the results. 

Qualifier Codes 

u Nudlde considered not detected above the reported MDC and 2a counting uncertainty. 

J Nudlde identified; the asSOCiated numelical value is approximated. 

UJ Nuclide not detected above the reported MDC or 2a counting uncertainty and a quality deficiency 

anects the data making the reported data more uncertain. 

NJ Nuclide present at an estimated quantity.

YHrium was not detected in any of these samples. 

There is no procedure available at WIPP LABS tor the counting of Y. Portions of the 2 methods listed above are 

blended to isolate theY, which is then counted by Liquid Scintillation using procedure WL-1 056. Y was not 

detected in the samples but was seen in the LCS from the Sr-90 spike, proving that the method is valid for 

Y detection. There is no data calculations included for Y. Only the instrument raw data is included and shows that 

the blank and three samples that were analyzed are in the same range as the background.

Two aliquots of the diluted sample (SID S1 and S2) and Nitric acid (SID B1 and B2) were transferred to LANL. 

Qualitative analysis was performed on the sample and nitric acid blank. The qualitative analysis was performed 

in two steps. The first step, mass range from 100-246 was scanned and the second step, mass range from 

1-100 was scanned. The nitric acid blank spectrum was then subtracted from the sample. 

Attached In this datapackage is the nitric acid blank corrected qualitative spectrum of the sample.
