The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) is currently preparing to initiate processing of Sludge Batch 10 (SB10), which is comprised of material from Tanks 11H, 13H, 15H, and 26F, Alternate Feed Stock-2 (AFS-2) and Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) material from H-Canyon. In support of SB10 qualification, frit development using 2020 Tank 40 blend projections and experimental work for the glass variability study were previously conducted. Frit 473 and Frit 209 were identified as candidate frits and both were included in the development of the variability study test matrix; however, a final frit recommendation was postponed until more information could be determined about the composition of SB10 after washing. In May 2021, Savannah River Remediation (SRR) reprojected SB10 based on the analytical results from the Tank 51 qualification sample that was washed in the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) Shielded Cells Facility.
