Table 2.13.3-1. Radiochemistry Facility (TA-48)/Operations Data (continued)2-142cdefghijklThe SWEIS ROD did not contain projections for this radioisotope.The radionuclide was not projected in the ROD because it was either dosimetrically insignificant or not isotopically identified.The Silicon-32 emissions were not expected. There was a slight process problem that resulted in these emissions. The dose from these emissions was not significant.Outfalls eliminated before 1999: 04A-016 (TA-48), 04A-131 (TA-48), 04A-152 (TA-48), and 04A-153 (TA-48).This outfall was eliminated from the NPDES permit on December 6, 1999.Approximately 10,959 kilograms of this chemical waste represents construction and demolition debris (previously identified in the Yearbook as industrial solid waste)resulting from cleanup following the Cerro Grande Fire. The construction and demolition debris is nonhazardous and is disposed in regular county landfills.Approximately 8,861 kilograms of this waste was generated during chemical cleanouts of TA-48-01 during 2001.The CY 2002 chemical waste volume includes 182,891.52 kilograms of contaminated soil from a construction project outside TA-48-1. The contamination was from aleaky pipe uncovered during excavation of trenches for new utilities.TRU waste was projected to be returned to the generating facility.The first number shown in the “SWEIS ROD” column is the actual employee count representing CY 1999 (the year the SWEIS ROD was published). The secondnumber shown in the “SWEIS ROD” column is the index number representing CY 1999 (the year the SWEIS ROD was published). The number of employees forCY 1998 through CY 2002 operations cannot be directly compared to numbers projected by the SWEIS ROD. The employee numbers projected by the SWEIS RODrepresent total workforce size and include PTLA, JCNNM, and other subcontractor personnel. The number of employees for CY 1998 through CY 2002 operationsis routinely collected information and represents only UC employees (regular full-time and part-time). Because the two sets of numbers (SWEIS ROD versus thenew index) do not represent the same entity, a direct comparison to numbers projected by the SWEIS ROD (see Section 3.6, Socioeconomics) is not a ppropriate.However, because this index is going to be used in each subsequent Yearbook, selecting CY 1999 as the base year establishes an index that can be compared overthe ten-year window represented by the SWEIS ROD.SWEIS Yearbook—2002
