The Vapor Issue Resolution Program tasked the Vapor Team (VT) to collect representative headspace samples from Hanford Site single-shell tank (SST) 241-BX-104. This document presents In Situ Vapor Sampling System (ISVS) data resulting from the August 22, 1996 sampling of SST 241-BX-104. Analytical results will be presented in separate reports issued by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) which supplied and analyzed the sample media. This is the first in a series of temporal sampling events on SST 241-BX-104. The strategy of temporal sampling is to measure the compositional changes of the waste tank headspace as related to seasonal effects and gradual changes of waste chemistry
