This test plan specifies the requirements and conditions for the injection of tracer gases into eight tanks. Eight single shell tanks shall be injected with inert tracer gas, Helium (He), and then samples taken periodically to measure breathing rates. The eight tanks to be tested are; A-101, AX-102, AX-103, BY-105, C-107, U-103 (tested once in the winter and will be tested once in the summer), and U-105. The headspace of these tanks shall be sampled and analyzed periodically to obtain breathing rate information
