This report summarizes the results of tests at Savannah River Technology Center with radioactively spiked simulated Tank 37H/44F waste and actual Tank 37H/44F supernate composite waste. The spiked simulant tests demonstrated that stable hydraulic conditions could be maintained with the new solvent formulation and the radioactive feed could be decontaminated to background levels. The 24 hour actual Tank 37H/44F waste test demonstrated similar hydraulic stability and higher decontamination factors.
