Abstract
Analysis of the activity level of C-14 contributed from the nuclear fuel cycle and non-fuel sources to LLW sites in the period from 1985-2004 provides the following information: 2100 Ci from the nuclear fuel cycle; 1650 Ci from institutional wastes; 2150 Ci from industrial wastes. The chemical form of the C-14 in the fuel cycle waste approximates 75% inorganic (carbonate), 20% activation metal, and 5% organic radiocarbons. The chemical form of the institutional and industrial carbon-14 waste is believed to be essentially 100% organic radiocarbon compounds. The transport of C-14 from the low-level radioactive waste site is believed to be largely as a gaseous release to the atmosphere.
