Abstract
Actinide and fission product concentrations in HLW (high level wastes) from the Savannah River Site (SRS) in South Carolina and from Tank 10 1-SY at the Hanford Site in the state of Washington have been measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. Isotopic assignments based on fission yield predictions has enabled the analyses to be mad e without further separations other than the chemical processing used to separate waste streams. Isotopic patterns related to weapons reacto r production are proposed as possible tracers for environmental measur ements.
