Performance Measures for Evaluating Public Participation Activities in the Office of Environmental Management (DOE) (open access)

Performance Measures for Evaluating Public Participation Activities in the Office of Environmental Management (DOE)

Public participation in Office of Environmental Management (EM) activities throughout the DOE complex is a critical component of the overall success of remediation and waste management efforts. The challenges facing EM and its stakeholders over the next decade or more are daunting (Nuclear Waste News 1996). Achieving a mission composed of such challenges will require innovation, dedication, and a significant degree of good will among all stakeholders. EM's efforts to date, including obtaining and using inputs offered by EM stakeholders, have been notable. Public participation specialists have accepted and met challenges and have consistently tried to improve their performance. They have reported their experiences both formally and informally (e.g., at professional conferences and EM Public Participation Network Workshops, other internal meetings of DOE and contractor public participation specialists, and one-on-one consultations) in order to advance the state of their practice. Our research, and our field research in particular (including our interactions with many representatives of numerous stakeholder groups at nine DOE sites with diverse EM problems), have shown that it, is possible to develop coherent results even in a problem domain as complex as that of EM. We conclude that performance-based evaluations of public participation appear possible, and we have …

Plutonium Immobilization Project - Can-In-Canister Hardware Development/Selection (open access)

Plutonium Immobilization Project - Can-In-Canister Hardware Development/Selection

This paper covers the design, development and testing of the magazines (cylinders containing cans of plutonium-ceramic pucks) and the rack that holds them in place inside the waste glass canister. Several magazine and rack concepts were evaluated to produce a design that gives the optimal balance between resistance to thermal degradation and facilitation of remote handling. This paper also reviews the effort to develop a jointed robotic arm that can remotely load seven magazines into defined locations inside a stationary canister working only through the 4 inch (102mm) diameter canister throat.

Plutonium Immobilization Project - Cold Pour Phase 2 Test Results (open access)

Plutonium Immobilization Project - Cold Pour Phase 2 Test Results

The U.S. Department of Energy will immobilize excess plutonium in the proposed Plutonium Immobilization Plant (PIP) at the Savannah River site (SRS) as part of a two-track approach for dispositioning weapons-usable plutonium. The Department of Energy is funding the development and testing effort for the PIP being conducted by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory. PIP is developing the ''Can-in Canister'' (CIC) technology that immobilizes plutonium by encapsulating it in ceramic forms (or pucks) and ultimately surrounding the forms with high-level waste glass to provide a deterrent to recovery. A cold (non-radioactive) test program was conducted to develop and verify the baseline design for the canister and internal hardware. Tests were conducted in two phases. Phase 1 Cold Pour Tests, conducted in 1999, were scoping tests. This paper describes the Phase 2 tests conducted in 2000 that verified the adequacy of the baseline and demonstrated compliance with repository requirements.

Reduction of Constraints: Applicability of the Homogeneity Constraint for Macrobatch 3 (open access)

Reduction of Constraints: Applicability of the Homogeneity Constraint for Macrobatch 3

The Product Composition Control System (PCCS) is used to determine the acceptability of each batch of Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) melter feed in the Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME). This control system imposes several constraints on the composition of the contents of the SME to define acceptability. These constraints relate process or product properties to composition via prediction models. A SME batch is deemed acceptable if its sample composition measurements lead to acceptable property predictions after accounting for modeling, measurement and analytic uncertainties. The baseline document guiding the use of these data and models is ''SME Acceptability Determination for DWPF Process Control (U)'' by Brown and Postles [1996]. A minimum of three PCCS constraints support the prediction of the glass durability from a given SME batch. The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) is reviewing all of the PCCS constraints associated with durability. The purpose of this review is to revisit these constraints in light of the additional knowledge gained since the beginning of radioactive operations at DWPF and to identify any supplemental studies needed to amplify this knowledge so that redundant or overly conservative constraints can be eliminated or replaced by more appropriate constraints.

Simulating the operation of photosensor-based lighting controls (open access)

Simulating the operation of photosensor-based lighting controls

Energy savings from the use of daylighting in commercial buildings are realized through implementation of photoelectric lighting controls that dim electric lights when sufficient daylight is available to provide adequate workplane illumination. The dimming level of electric lighting is based on the signal of a photosensor. Current simulation approaches for such systems are based on the questionable assumption that the signal of the photosensor is proportional to the task illuminance. This paper presents a method that simulates the performance of photosensor controls considering the acceptance angle, angular sensitivity, placement of the photosensor within a space, and color correction filter. The method is based on the multiplication of two fisheye images: one generated from the angular sensitivity of the photosensor and the other from a 180- or 360-degree fisheye image of the space as ''seen'' by the photosensor. The paper includes a detailed description of the method and its implementation, example applications, and validation results based on comparison with measurements in an actual office space.

Small-Scale Ion Exchange Removal of Cesium and Technetium from Envelope B Hanford Tank 241-AZ-102

The pretreatment process for the Hanford River Protection Project Waste Treatment Plant is to provide decontaminated Low-Activity Waste and concentrated elute streams for vitrification into low- and high-activity waste glass, respectively. The pretreatment includes sludge washing, filtration, precipitation, and ion exchange processes to remove entrained solids, strontium, transuranics, cesium, and technetium.

Tank 241-AZ-102 SuperLig 639 Technetium Ion Exchange Eluate Evaporation Study (open access)

Tank 241-AZ-102 SuperLig 639 Technetium Ion Exchange Eluate Evaporation Study

As part of the Hanford River Protection Project (RPP), the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) has conducted tests on the pretreatment and vitrification of a radioactive waste sample from Hanford Tank 241-AZ-102. The original, AZ-102 sample which was received at SRTC was characterized and filtered to remove entrained solids.1 The sample was then passed sequentially through ion exchange columns containing SuperLig{reg_sign} 644 and 639 resins for the removal of cesium and technetium ions (Tc removed as pertechnetate, TcO{sub 4}{sup {minus}}), respectively.2 The cesium and technetium absorbed to the resins was then eluted to give separate eluate solutions containing relatively high concentrations of Cs{sup +} and TcO{sub 4}{sup {minus}}. According to the current plant design, the decontaminated Tank 241-AZ-102 sample and the eluate solutions will be subjected to separate evaporation and vitrification processes to give low- and high-activity waste glasses, respectively. This report describes evaporation testing of the Tc eluate solution derived from ion exchange processing of the Tank 241-AZ-102 sample with SuperLig 639 resin.
