In-tank sludge processing will reduce the scope and cost of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). A full-scale demonstration of this process has recently been completed. This test established that aluminum dissolution and sludge washing can be accomplished in a high level waste tank. The Savannah River Laboratory had the responsibility of characterizing (physically and chemically) samples from the demonstration. This memo presents physical properties, aluminum concentration, and supernate inhibitor levels.
