Status Assessment of Readiness to Deploy Permanganate Treatment for Removal of Strontium and Actinides from Savannah River Site High Level Waste

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/805314· OSTI ID:805314
The current plan to dispose of high-level waste at the Savannah River Site uses monosodium titanate (MST) to remove soluble strontium and alpha-emitting radionuclides to levels acceptable for disposal in the Saltstone Production Facility. This report assesses the merits of the process using sodium permanganate, instead of monosodium titanate (MST), to remove soluble strontium and actinides from Savannah River Site high-level waste. It also describes the major elements of the recommended research and engineering.
