Crystal accumulation in the Hanford Waste Treatment Plant high level waste melter: Summary of 2017 experiments
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
A full-scale, transparent mock-up of the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Project High Level Waste glass melter riser and pour spout has been constructed to allow for testing with visual feedback of particle settling, accumulation, and resuspension when operating with a controlled fraction of crystals in the glass melt. Room temperature operation with silicone oil and magnetite particles simulating molten glass and spinel crystals, respectively, allows for direct observation of flow patterns and settling patterns. The fluid and particle mixture is recycled within the system for each test.
