Title of Data: Chlorine-36 Bomb-Pulse Study of Chlorine-36/Chlorine and Chlorine-35/Chlorine-37 Isotope Ratios Measured in Leachates of Rock Collected From the Yucca Mountain Exploratory Studies Facility.

Description: Chlorine-36/chlorine and chlorine-35/chlorine-37 isotope ratios were measured in leachates from rock collected from the Exploratory Studies Facility, surface soils located above the north and south ramps of the tunnel, exploratory studies facility seep, and blanks associated with the UNLV chlorine-36, Bomb Pulse study. The measurments were taken by accelerator mass spectrometry at the Purdue Rare Isotope Measurement Laboratory (PRIME).

    Acquisition/Development Method: The leaching and sample preparation methods for Cl-36 were fully documented in SN UCCSN-UNLV-065 Vol 1 and 4. They generally followed Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) procedure LANL-CST-DP-92-R2, LANL-CST-DP-95-R2 and LANL-CST-DP-97-R1, with minor notebook revisions. Analysis was conducted by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) at PRIME.

    Location(s): University of Nevada, Las Vegas

    004JC.006 Portion(s) of the source dataset used to develop the data: Measured Chlorine-36/Chlorine ratios

    The measured ratios were background corrected for 36Cl determined in process blanks (3/31/06 AMS run). Chloride in the reagent blank and chloride added as carrier were subtracted from the total chloride determined in the final leachate (see below). The resultant value was used as the denominator in the 36Cl/Cl corrected ratio calculation. The numerator was determined by multiplying the measured ratio by the total chloride (mg) in the final leachate, and subtracting the amount of 36Cl stemming from reagents/process, which was in turn calculated by multiplying the measured ratio for the process blank by the amount of chloride (mg) added from the blank. If more than one process blank was used for a leaching run, mean blank results were employed in the calculation. Propagation of the 36Cl/Cl uncertainty followed standard error propagation techniques and included a 2% factor for sample preparation. The specific calculations were added as an electronic attachement to notebooks UCCSN- UNLV-065 Vols. 1 and 4.

    004JC.008 Portion(s) of the source dataset used to develop the data: Chloride concentrations.

    The measured ratios were background corrected for chloride in the leach water (3/31/06 AMS run) and added carrier. Chloride in the reagent blank and chloride added as carrier were subtracted from the total chloride determined in the final leachate. The resultant value was used as the denominator in the 36Cl/Cl corrected ratio calculation as described above.
