The SRS waste tanks to be employed with the In-Tank Precipitation (ITP) process are undergoing a structural evaluation in order to define their response to a hypothetical deflagration accident. At the request of the Waste Management and Environmental Remediation Division (WM&ER -- High Level Waste Programs), a task was initiated to predict the peak gas pressure which would result from a deflagration (Thomas and Hensel 1993a). This report presents the final results of the deflagration peak gas pressure evaluation.
