K Basin sludge retrieval flocculant and material compatibility evaluation
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:55303
Constructed during the 1950`s, the 105 K-East and 105 K-West storage basins were brought back into service to store irradiated N-Reactor fuel in 1975 and 1981, respectively. During the 15 to 20 years of fuel storage, a layer of ``sludge`` has settled to the bottom of the basins, pits, and spent fuel storage canisters. Activities related to the retrieving, processing and disposal of this sludge are underway. Two evaluations were performed: a flocculant evaluation to determine a compatible flocculent to aid infiltration and sludge concentration and a material compatibility evaluation to recommend appropriate materials for the pumps, hoses, vacuum heads, and hydraulic fluids that will make up the sludge retrieval system.
