Savannah River Site Items Of Interest For National Nuclear Material Archive

The Savannah River Site (SRS) holds legacy materials from its nuclear materials production and processing missions, and also materials received from other locations to support Fissile Materials Disposition and research and development, including recovery/reuse and nuclear forensics. The National Nuclear Material Archive (NNMA), operated by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), is identifying; sampling; and analyzing typical and rare items to build a library of characterization data on historical process streams. Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) renewed a screening of “Items of Interest”, including items proposed for disposition (e.g., surplus plutonium and enriched uranium) and historical samples, to assist NNMA in selecting items for inclusion in the Archive and for the activities required to complete analysis in cooperation with NNSA and other National Laboratories.
