The primary objective of this work is to calculate the maximum loading expected on the Hanford Tank Side Cesium Removal (TSCR) ion exchange columns. A key consideration in the design of the columns is the amount of 137Cs that loads onto the Crystalline Silicotitanate (CST) and the heat generated by the loaded column during storage. Per request of Washington River Protection Solutions (WRPS), Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) has utilized ZAM, a computer program developed by the research group of Professor Rayford G. Anthony of Texas A&M University, to predict the cesium loading on the CST for a variety of waste compositions expected to be processed by TSCR. The study evaluated cesium loadings for the following waste compositions: 1. Seventeen DFLAW campaign batches to cover projected supernate composition ranges within which TSCR may be expected to operate within the first ten years, 2. Hanford tank AP-105 and AP-107 waste solutions that will be processed by the TSCR system.
