This report summarizes the chemical disposal data from facilities operated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., during fiscal year 1969. The total quantity of chemicals discharged to the Columbia River from the Single-Pass Reactor facilities is detailed in Section I and from the N Reactor facilities in Section II. In addition to the gross quantities shown, supplementary information has been included to note the manner and normal rate of discharge. Section III summarizes the disposal frequencies and estimated quantities of chemicals discharged to the 300 Area process ponds from DUN facilities. These materials are discharged to the process sewer and flow to the 300 Area process ponds. A portion of the chemicals reach the Columbia River through underground seepage. As the process sewer system in the 300 Area serves other companies as well, the controls established by DUN include routine composite sampling of the 300 Area process ponds. The automatic sampler collects integrated samples of pond inlet water that are analyzed weekly. This analytical data is included as Section IV.
