Defense waste and byproducts management monthly report for January 1985
Observation mode stabilization evaluations were completed for three BY tanks which had previously been jet pumped. Tanks 104-BY, 110-BY and 111-BY were declared interim stabilized. Eight single-shell tanks have been declared stabilized FYTD; five tanks have been administratively declared interim stabilized and three tanks have been declared interim stabilized subsequent to saltwell pumping. Eighty-one tanks have been stabilized since the program began. Encapsulation of the final batch of strontium, purified and stored in B Plant, was completed in January, three weeks ahead of the internal schedule. Three product capsules were produced this month, bringing the FYTD total to 21. One additional product capsule was produced as a result of the strontium dissolution process tests. Eight waste capsules were produced this month for a FYTD total of 20 capsules. The 242-A Evaporator Run 85-3 continued in January. Total throughput for the month was approximately 2.4 million gallons with a waste volume reduction (WVR) of about 1.1 million gallons. The FYTD evaporator throughput is approximately 7.5 million gallons with a WVR of about 2.6 million gallons. Personnel from Rockwell, Pacific Northwest Laboratory (PNL), and Atcor Engineering Systems met in January for the 50% design review of the Transportable Grout Equipment (TGE). A pre-100% TGE design review will be held in late February and Rockwell will be provided the 100% design review package by March 15 fo review. The final draft of RHO-RL-PL-21, Rockwell Hanford Operations Plan for Certifying Newly Generated Contact Handled Transuranic Waste for Emplacement in the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, was submitted to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant - Waste Acceptance Criteria Certification Committee on January 18 for final review.
