Special Analytical Requirements:

• Actinide isotope analyses of biota samples

• Carbon-14 and tritium in natural gas samples

• Accelerator mass spectrometry: C-14, Cl-36, I-129

• Low-level tritium by the enrichment method

UMTRCA Disposal and Processing Sites

• There are 36 Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act (UMTRCA) Title I and Title II processing or disposal sites managed LM.

• Twenty-two inactive uranium ore-processing sites were remediated resulting in the creation of 19 disposal cells.

• These sites are location on or near tribal lands: Mexican Hat, UT; Monument Valley, AZ; Riverton WY; Sherwood, WA; Shiprock, NM.

Legacy Management Sites

There are 98 sites managed by LM.

There are 44 sites that have analytical support requirements.

There are 40 sites identified for transfer to Legacy Management over the next 10 years.

11

Analytical Services Contracts

Analytical services were procured utilizing the ICPT Basic Ordering Agreement along with an LM-specific requirements document.

Contracts were awarded March 2008.

The total dollar amount of the contracts for FY2013 was 758K.

FY2014 estimated total is 770K.

Other contracts for special analytical services and site-specific requirements are established as needed.

12

Laboratory Data Errors

Common Laboratory Data Quality Errors Samples switched, improperly labeled at log-in or during extraction / digestion.

Sample results from multiple analyses at different dilutions are not in agreement indicating a dilution error.

Sample analyzed at multiple dilutions. Analyst’s hand-written notes misinterpreted during data entry resulting is a dilution factor error.
