Corcoran, C L

B Plant is in an upgrade mode preparing for its new mission to pretreat the neutralized current acid waste (NCAW) that will be processed at the planned Hanford Vitrification Plant (HWVP). NCAW generated by the solvent extraction portion of the Purex process is currently stored in underground tanks at the U.S. Department of Energy Hanford Reservation 200 Area. It is the purpose of this document to describe the design and operation of the B Plant secondary containment system. The elements of the secondary containment system will function to prevent the release of process wastes or otherwise hazardous liquids to the environment. 5 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs. (MHB)
