Re: Tritium stack sampling

Right On!  At a continuous flow of 52,000 cfm you could release almost 8 
Cuires of H-3 and still be at 10% of the Part 20 effluent limit.  Perhaps 
you could just assume a 100% of starting activity release and show by 
calculation that you are within limits.  Bill Fendt U of DE
