Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant reference conceptual design report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5725063
This document describes the Reference Conceptual Design (RCD) of the Hanford Waste Vitrification Plant (HWVP). The HWVP will immobilize pretreated Hanford defense liquid high-level waste prior to shipment to a geologic repository, satisfying an objective in the President's Defense Waste Management Plan. The HWVP will vitrify the waste in borosilicate glass, cast the glass into stainless steel canisters, and store the canisters at Hanford until they are shipped to a Federal Geologic Repository. The HWVP will support a glass production rate of 100 pounds per hour. The annual production goal of 610,000 pounds of glass is based on 70% plant availability, excluding downtime for Melter replacement. The HWVP will be located approximately 2000 feet southwest of B-Plant in the 200 East Area of the Hanford Site and will occupy an area approximately 1200 feet by 1200 feet. The RCD cost estimate for the HWVP is $920 million. Hot startup of the HWVP is currently scheduled for Fiscal Year 1999. 9 refs., 19 figs., 17 tabs.
