This Preliminary Engineering Report establishes a programmatic planning basis for the initial waste retrieval of radioactive waste from Single-Shell Tank 241-S-102, located in the 200 West Area of the U. S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site. The recently renegotiated Hanford Federal Facility Agreement and Consent Order establishes milestones for life-cycle activities required to complete the initial waste retrieval from 241-S-102 by September 30, 2006. The preliminary project schedule developed for this effort indicates that the 241-S-102 waste retrieval systems can be deployed, tested, and operated to support the M-45-05A completion milestone of September 30, 2006. The Single-Shell Tank, 241-S-102, contains an estimated 472,000 gallons of waste, mainly in the form of saltcake with some insoluble sludge. Dissolution retrieval of this waste has been identified as the preferred mechanism to recover the 241-S-102 Constituents of Concern, thereby reducing the risk of tank leaks resulting in further contamination of the Hanford soil column, groundwater, and Columbia River. The specific retrieval method selected for deployment in 241-S-102 is based on the fluidic mixing and transfer pumping technology. The fluidic systems available through AEA Technology have been used as the pre-conceptual engineering basis for developing the 241-S-102 waste retrieval system. This retrieval method allows the tank contents to be mobilized and recovered with no moving parts having to be installed within the tank.
