Title: Annual Radioactive Waste Tank Inspection Program - 2003

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/825230· OSTI ID:825230

Aqueous radioactive wastes from Savannah River Site (SRS) separations and vitrification processes are contained in large underground carbon steel tanks. Inspections made during 2003 to evaluate these vessels and other waste handling facilities along with evaluations based on data from previous inspections are the subject of this report. The 2003 inspection program revealed that the structural integrity and waste confinement capability of the Savannah River Site waste tanks remained unchanged from 2002. A total of 4249 photographs were made, 1178 visual and video inspections were performed, and 12 helium leak tests were conducted. Ultrasonic testing was performed on five High Level Waste Tanks in accordance with approved inspection plans that met the In-Service Inspection Program requirements.
