Recommended Decontamination Factors for Use in Flowsheet Modeling of the Permanganate Treatment Process for Strontium and Actinide Removal

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/805313· OSTI ID:805313

Evaluation of the freshly precipitated manganese oxide process for pretreatment of SRS waste solutions includes the completion of flowsheet calculations to assess the quantities of waste streams sent forward to the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) and Saltstone facility, a water balance for the Tank Farm and flowrates within the proposed Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) and Actinide Removal facility. This report provides the basis for decontamination factors (DFs) for strontium and the actinides [plutonium (Pu), neptunium (Np) and uranium (U)] in the manganese oxide treatment process. The DFs derive from testing completed at SRTC with both actual tank waste and simulated waste solutions.
