Geophysical investigation for proposed flow meter installation holes, 100H Area (open access)

Geophysical investigation for proposed flow meter installation holes, 100H Area

The objectives of the surveys were to locate subsurface obstructions that may affect the drilling of two holes to be fit with flow meters in the 100-H Area of the Hanford Site (Figure 1). Possible drill sites with the least likelihood of encountering identified obstructions were identified based upon the results of the survey. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) was the method selected for the investigations. The electromagnetic induction method was also used to verify that the general site is relatively void of metallic debris at depth.

Strategy for sampling Hanford Site tank wastes for development of disposal technology (open access)

Strategy for sampling Hanford Site tank wastes for development of disposal technology

This document explains the tank waste sampling strategy needed to obtain the information required to identify and develop pretreatment and waste immobilization processes. The key tenet of the strategy is that process testing with real waste material from the Hanford Site underground tanks is necessary to design processes and measure their effectiveness. This document provides the criteria for selection of the limited number of tanks to be sampled. A phased, iterative approach is used for the single-shell tank (SST) waste sampling. In the first sampling phase, samples are taken from 25 tanks which provide a good representation of the waste types of interest. Results from process testing of these samples will be considered in final selection of a limited number of additional SSTs to sample (currently expected to be an additional 14 tanks).

Fiscal year 1995 work scope for the 222-S, WSCF, 325, and Litco Laboratories (open access)

Fiscal year 1995 work scope for the 222-S, WSCF, 325, and Litco Laboratories

This report is intended to establish a baseline for the sample analyses to be completed by the 222-S, WSCF, 325, and LITCO laboratories during FY 1995. These analyses are intended to support the Hanford Environmental Restoration. The work covered by this report focuses on 5 Sample Categories (Environmental Remediation, Liquid Effluents, Solid Waste, TWRS, and Process Support).

Fast Flux Test Facility, Sodium Storage Facility project-specific project management plan (open access)

Fast Flux Test Facility, Sodium Storage Facility project-specific project management plan

This Project-Specific Project Management Plan describes the project management methods and controls used by the WHC Projects Department to manage Project 03-F-031. The Sodium Storage Facility provides for storage of the 260,000 gallons of sodium presently in the FFTF Plant. The facility will accept the molten sodium transferred from the FFTF sodium systems, and store the sodium in a solid state under an inert cover gas until such time as a Sodium Reaction Facility is available for final disposal of the sodium.

324 Radiochemical engineering cells and high level vault tanks mixed waste compliance status (open access)

324 Radiochemical engineering cells and high level vault tanks mixed waste compliance status

The 324 Building in the Hanford 300 Area contains Radiochemical Engineering Cells and High Level Vault tanks (the {open_quotes}REC/HLV{close_quotes}) for research and development activities involving radioactive materials. Radioactive mixed waste within this research installation, found primarily in B-Cell and three of the high level vault tanks, is subject to RCRA/DWR ({open_quotes}RCRA{close_quotes}) regulations for storage. This white paper provides a baseline RCRA compliance summary of MW management in the REC/HLV, based on best available knowledge. The REC/HLV compliance project, of which this paper is a part, is intended to achieve the highest degree of compliance practicable given the special technical difficulties of managing high activity radioactive materials, and to assure protection of human health and safety and the environment. The REC/HLV was constructed in 1965 to strict standards for the safe management of highly radioactive materials. Mixed waste in the REC/HLV consists of discarded tools and equipment, dried feed stock from nuclear waste melting experiments, contaminated particulate matter, and liquid feed stock from various experimental programs in the vault tanks. B-Cell contains most of these materials. Total radiological inventory in B-Cell is estimated at 3 MCi, about half of which is potentially {open_quotes}dispersible{close_quotes}, that is, it is in small pieces or …
