Production test number 105-511-E: Effluent activity effects in alum treated process water
This document discusses a test to determine experimentally the effects of pile power level on the radioactivity of effluent alum treated cooling water. The proposed expansion of plutonium production facilities at Hanford may cause a dangerous increase in radiation levels of the pile cooling water returned to the Columbia River. This increase is attributed both to a larger number of piles and to increased power levels per pile. Several factors make an accurate prediction of future pile effluent water activity difficult. In the first place, the new water treatment process using alum-activated silica coagulation is expected to be initiated at all areas by December 15, 1952. Very little information is available concerning effluent activity effects of alum treated water. Present data indicate that slightly lower levels are obtained in alum water than in the present ferric sulfate coagulated water, with the exception of unexplained peaks of Mn(sup 56) activity occurring during the spring months.
