As part of the remediation effort at the U.S. Department of Energy`s Hanford Reservation, the radioactive waste stored in 177 tanks around the site is being characterized. One important characteristic of this waste is the amount of moisture contained within the saltcake layer found in some of the tanks. At low moisture contents, these saltcake layers will produce hydrogen gas, creating an increase in the flammability hazard. Therefore, a method to measure moisture in the saltcake layers must be developed to ensure the safety of the tanks.
