Evaluation of KE Basin Sludge Radioisotopics and Volumes in Support of the Sludge Water System Safety Analysis

Abstract

This report describes a stochastic analysis of the floor and canister sludge in Hanford's 105 K-East Basin. The analysis is based on measurements of sludge depth, uranium concentration, density, and activities of a dozen radionuclides of interest in calculations of decay heat production and dose assessment due to ingestion in case of an accident.
