The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for building the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) at the Hanford site in Washington to remediate 55 million gallons of radioactive waste that is temporarily stored in 177 underground tanks. The Office of River Protection (ORP) has requested that the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) contribute in areas of recognized capabilities and expertise for glass waste form development to support successful startup of the WTP. As part of this effort, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is developing, batching, and fabricating simulated high-level waste (HLW) glasses to generate the associated property data needed to validate or identify areas of potential characterization improvement in the current glass property/composition models. Currently, the models cover only a small fraction of the waste compositions projected in the Hanford tank farm; therefore, the models must be expanded to include high fluoride compositions to successfully complete the WTP mission. SRNL support of this work is defined in the Task Technical and Quality Assurance Plan (TTQAP). This report provides the results of the Product Consistency Test (PCT) leachates from the High Fluoride Glasses-1 (HFG1), a series of simulated nuclear waste glasses fabricated at PNNL. The series included quenched (Q) and canister-centerline cooled (CCC) versions of the glasses. The glasses were selected as part of a broader study of the influence of glass composition on chemical durability, sulfur retention, and other properties. These data will be used to validate or identify areas of potential characterization improvements in the current glass property/composition models.
