Heat removal options and temperature predictions for a vault of grouted waste
Conference

OSTI ID:7079642
The US Department of Energy's Grout Disposal Program immobilizes low-level radioactive wastes that are stored in double-shell tanks on the Hanford Site. The wastes are mixed with cementitious materials to form a grout. The resulting slurry is then pumped into large underground vaults. Westinghouse Hanford Company developed a method to predict the transient temperature response of these vaults to the heat of hydration of the grout. This method was also used to investigate several options for removing some of the energy generated by the hydration reaction. The results of those analyses are presented here. 2 refs., 7 figs.
