Physical Properties Narrative
This Liquid Waste Stream consists of the following wastes:
This waste is generated as a result of shipboard maintenance work or the analysis of radioactive
liquid samples at NPTU.
Neolube, adhesives, sealants, coatings, resins with a flash point less than 140°F (D001).
General information
NNSY utilizes process knowledge to identify the radiological properties of waste. The process
knowledge involves the use of scaling factors to identify the isotopes and their associated activities.
Activities were determined by multiplying the measured Co-60 activity by specific isotope factors.
Co-60 activity by specific isotope factors. Co-60 is the primary radionuclide of concern for Naval
Ship and shipyard operations. The highest C0-60 specific activity determined for all like waste
generated at NNSY is 6000 pCi/g.
NNSY packages it's waste in double polyethylene and/or polyurethane bags.
NNSY containerizes its waste within <=85-gallon drums for shipment. NNSY will palletize drums for
shipment.
This is used pure products with SDS provided.

Subject: Waste Stream 9825-04
Non Aqueous Liquid Assessment
The purpose of this memo is to evaluate Waste Stream 9825-04 for compliance with
Radioactive Material License conditions 16.B and 16.C. License conditions 16.B and 16.C address the waste’s potential to be explosive under normal conditions, explosively reactive with water, or capable of generating toxic gases, vapors, or fumes during the waste management process. As transporting, handling and disposal of the waste does not
occur under extreme conditions, the waste in question is analyzed assuming normal environmental conditions (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry [IUPAC] standard temperature and pressure) apply.
Waste Stream 9825-04 consists of shipboard maintenance wastes including: Neolube,
adhesives, sealants, coatings, etc. The waste within this profile includes Hazardous waste codes D001 (Deactivation), D002 (Corrosivity) and D004-D011 (Metals). From the profile description, the waste may be categorized into three categories for this review: Neolube (Isopropanol), Paints/Enamels, and epoxy adhesives. Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
representing these three categories of material were reviewed with the following
information obtained:
Neolube (Isopropanol)
The SDS for Neolube No. 1 was examined for this review. The chemical name for Neolube is “Graphite in Isopropanol”. This product is a mixture of >50% Isopropanol and <5% Graphite. Neolube is flammable liquids and vapors with a flashpoint of 52 °F. It has a vapor density greater than air (heavier). The
boiling point is 35 °C. Neolube is not reactive and is chemically stable under
normal conditions of storage and use. Reactive or incompatible material would only occur with strong oxidizers.
Paint/Enamel
Several different paint and enamel SDSs were examined for this review. These products are a mixture of >25% Light Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, between 10-25% Calcium Carbonate, Titanium Dioxide <3%, and many other ingredients
<1% of the overall weight. The paints contain flammable liquids and vapors
299 South Main Street, Suite 1700 ▪ Salt Lake City, Utah 84111 (801) 649-2000 ▪ Fax: (801) 321-0453 ▪ www.energysolutions.com
with a flashpoint of 102 °F. It has a vapor density greater than air (5.0). The boiling point is 298 °F. The paints are not reactive and are chemically stable under normal conditions of storage and use. Reactive or incompatible material would only occur with oxidizers.
Epoxy Adhesives These products are generally a mixture containing approximately 35% benzyl
alcohol, 50-60% amines, and nonylphenol. The SDS for the product calls it a
corrosive spray-on epoxy surfacer. The product is combustible, but not flammable; with a flashpoint of 200 °F. The liquid is slightly heavier than water with a specific gravity of 1.02 and is not reactive with water. The product is stable and will not polymerize to hazardous products. Incompatible
materials include strong oxidizers, acids and alkalis. If the material were to
burn, its decomposition products include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, aldehydes, and ammonia.
All waste containers will remain closed during transport and storage and will only be
opened for management within controlled environments where incompatible material (including ignition sources) will not be present. Based on the SDS information described above, this waste stream is not capable of
generating toxic gases, vapors or fumes in quantities that are harmful to persons
participating in the transporting, handling, or disposing of this waste under standard temperatures and pressure. The waste is not considered water reactive, nor is it unstable or explosive under standard temperature and pressure.
