- W2185165942 abstract "The combined efforts of several federal agencies resulted in the successful retirement of more than seven million pounds of thorium nitrate, a low-level radioactive source material, from three original sources and contained in over 21,000 drums. Thorium nitrate was originally acquired during the period 1957 to 1964 by the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) predecessor agency, the Atomic Energy Commission, and later retained by the National Defense Stockpile. Project cooperating agencies included the Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Nuclear Security Administration, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Defense Logistics Agency/Defense National Stockpile Center. Chemical conversion was avoided by special characterization testing, which saved tens of millions of dollars. This paper presents a general summary of the project steps and accomplishments and the execution of the thorium nitrate source term handling and removal from the Defense National Stockpile Center (DNSC) depots (primarily Phase 3 of a 4-phase program). At the onset of the project, the DNSC managed the thorium nitrate inventory at two of their depots—approximately five million pounds at Curtis Bay, Maryland, and another two million pounds at Hammond, Indiana. The Phase 3 portion of the project culminated in eleven months of cross country shipments of three to four days duration to the Frenchman Flats area of DOE’s site in the Nevada desert; a remote facility slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island, where the containers were placed in specially designated pits and buried under ~21 ft of top cover. This paper emphasizes how radiological requirements were defined, met, and optimized during this project." @default.
