OSTI ID:7336449
A conceptual process description for solidification of Savannah River Plant liquid wastes to glass monoliths in double-walled containers for retrievable surface storage was prepared and submitted to the Plant for design and cost studies. Initial results of long-term heating tests of six candidate container alloys indicate that all are compatible with glass or concrete waste forms. Equipment for obtaining 40-liter samples of plant waste supernate was constructed and used successfully to provide large volumes of supernate for tests of the conceptual waste solidification process. Dried, unwashed subsurface sludge from Tank 16H was analyzed for elemental composition and radionuclide content in support of sludge removal demonstrations scheduled for 1977. A computer program was developed to simulate steady-state operation of wiped-film evaporators for the concentration of typical plant waste solutions during storage in waste tanks. Charges that would apply to storage of waste from MTR-type fuel were calculated. A study of the SSP was completed to determine the possible utility of the SSP at Savannah River; based on this study, application to Savannah River waste is not recommended.
