From page 135...
... Based on this screening-leve~ assessment, Cook (1998) identified that cesium-135 would need to be consiclered in a performance assessment of the direct grout option, whereas it had been screened from consideration in the saltstone performance assessment (Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., et al., 1992; Westinghouse Savannah River Company, 199Ba)

... Instead, results were derivecl from existing results for the Saltstone disposal facility, with revised radionuclide inventory values. Intrusion assessment results were not available for cesium-135 from the Saltstone performance assessment (Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc., et al., 1992)
