Mechanical Waste Gathering System (MWGS)
- Hanford Site (HNF), Richland, WA (United States)
A Mechanical Waste Gathering System (MWGS) a technology is needed for retrieving solids from Hanford Site tanks that contain primarily solids (sludge, salt cake, and hard pan). An alternative retrieval technology is needed to begin supporting waste retrievals from A and AX Tank Farms. In many single‐shell tanks (SSTs), it is undesirable to use sluicing liquids to break up and remove waste due to the known or suspected reduced integrity of the tanks.
