Characterization Results of SRS Tank 26 Samples FTF-26-19-12 and -13
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
Savannah River Remediation (SRR) has requested that the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) characterize several samples from the Savannah River Site (SRS) Tank Farm in preparation for Sludge Batch (SB) 10. This report documents the characterization of Tank 26 material received by SRNL in May of 2019. SRR pulled 2 x 200 mL samples (FTF-26-19-12 and FTF-26-19-13) with Tank 26 slurry pumps at 60 inches. Two samples were taken to ensure SRNL has adequate material for the requested analyses. Because both samples were taken at the same time and at the same tank level, SRNL combined the two Tank Farm samples into one sample prior to analyses. Results presented in this report include: weight percent solids, density, elemental composition of supernate and slurry, Cs-137 in supernate and slurry, and slurry total alpha and beta. The sample contained higher than expected total sulfur with a significant insoluble fraction, prompting SRR-E to request a washing study to predict how sulfur will be removed during Tank Farm washing.
