Title: Pipeline Cross-Site Transfer Assessment for Tank 241-SY-101 Waste

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/15001235· OSTI ID:15001235

This study evaluated the feasibility of transferring waste now stored in Tank SY-101 in the 200 West Area of the Hanford Site to a storage tank in 200 East Area through a 6.2-mile-long, 3-inch-diameter stainless steel pipeline. Using the Wasp slurry transport model, the critical velocity and expected pressure drop were calculated to determine 1) whether current SY-101 waste can be transferred through the existing cross-site transfer pipeline without additional dilution and, if it is not possible, how much dilution is needed.
