Effects of oxygen cover gas and NaOH dilution on gas generation in tank 241-SY-101 waste

Description: Laboratory studies are reported of gas generation in heated waste from tank 241-SY-101. The rates of gas generation and the compositions of product gas were measured. Three types of tests are compared. The tests use: undiluted waste, waste diluted by a 54% addition of 2.5 M NaOH, and undiluted waste with a reactive cover gas of 30% Oxygen in He. The gas generation rate is reduced by dilution, increased by higher temperatures (which determines activation energies), and increased by reactions of … more

Hazard categorization -- interpretation of DOE guidance DOE-STD-1027-92

Description: The methodology used in the production of the Hazard Category 2 TQs is verified and presented in the above calculations (Section 3.0). The analysis is done as consistently to that prescribed in DOE-STD-1027-92 as is possible. Determining the TQ limits with the standard`s variables consistently produced the listed Hazard Category 2 TQs for the six major isotopes present in the CWC waste (100% of the isotopes attempted in their analysis) and verifies their approach without changing release fracti… more

Engineering study of the potential uses of salts from selective crystallization of Hanford tank wastes

Description: The Clean Salt Process (CSP) is the fractional crystallization of nitrate salts from tank waste stored on the Hanford Site. This study reviews disposition options for a CSP product made from Hanford Site tank waste. These options range from public release to onsite low-level waste disposal to no action. Process, production, safety, environment, cost, schedule, and the amount of CSP material which may be used are factors considered in each option. The preferred alternative is offsite release of … more

Coal Air Turbine ``CAT`` program invention 604. Eighth quarter project report and final for the project, August--September 1996

Description: The primary objective of this ``CAT`` project is to complete a conceptual design of this unique new combination of existing technology with cost estimates to show that the ``CAT`` system offers the economic incentive with low technical risk for a plant to be built which will demonstrate its viability. The technologies involved in the components of a ``CAT`` plant are proven, and the integration of the components into a complete plant is the only new developmental activity involved. Industry and… more
