THE SELF-CONCENTRATION OF HIGH LEVEL PUREX WASTES IN THE HOT SEMIWORKS WASTE CONCENTRATOR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4837079
Self-concentration phenomena of Purex waste in a Hot Semiworks tank were investigated. The tank was designed to simulate waste storage tank conditions likely to develop in the core of a 75-ft diameter Purex self-concentrating waste storage tank. The tank when-filled with waste had a fission product heat generation rate of approximately 9000 Btu/hr. With continued boiling a layer of sludge developed on the bottom of the tank which contained a large fraction of the fission products. Bumping in the tank appeared to be a function of liquid level.
