The tank probe vapor sampling valve was opened and the VSS was purged with sample vapor from SST 241-SX-106 for 30 minutes at a total flow rate of 5.46 L/min. This purge was performed to flush ambient air from the system and saturate the system's active adsorption sites. Because the volume of transfer tubing and the sampling manifold upstream o f the sampling devices is estimated to be no more than 10 L, this purge provided about 16.4 air turnovers in the system.

Two analytical laboratories provided sample media. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) provided triple sorbent traps (ISTs) for organic vapors; and Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL) provided SUMMA canisters and sorbent traps for organic vapors, ammonia (NH,), nitrogen dioxide (NO,), nitric oxide (NO), and water vapor (H,O).

3.6 FIELD GC/FID RESULTS

The GC was single point calibrated on the day of sampling using 6.0 ppmC Propane standard by Scott Specialty Gas. The standard is an E.P.A. Protocol Gas that is +2% NIST traceable.

Table 2 displays the Field GC/FID results from the sampling of 241-SX-106.

Table 2. TOC Results.

3.7 RADIATION SCREENING

Samples are unconditionally released from the SST farm in accordance with 1995-33300-RSP-03, Release o f Vapor Sampling Equipment (WHC 1995~). Radiological screening results are used to determine (1) if the samples must be shipped as radioactive or nonradioactive in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations and (2) if the samples meet the laboratory acceptance criteria.

The DOT limits for shipping a nonradioactive sample are 2000 pCi/g combined beta-gamma/alpha activity. Samples exceeding these DOT limits may be shipped as radioactive material if the samples do not exceed the following laboratory acceptance criteria:
