The Special Analytical Studies Group at the 222-S Laboratory (222-S) examined the particulate recovered from a series of samples from the annular space of tank 241-AY-102 (AY-102) using solid phase characterization (SPC) methods. These include scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using the ASPEX1 scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) using the Rigaku2 MiniFlex X-ray diffractometer, and polarized light microscopy (PLM) using the Nikon3 Eclipse Pol optical microscope. The SEM is equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) to provide chemical information
